          Superb day with a superb guide
          Basel was my tour guide for my day tour of Mt. Nebo, Madaba and Jerash. He was punctual, he speaks excellent English, is very amiable and friendly, and very knowledgeable. Not only did he tell me about the historic sites we were visiting, but he also answered all my questions about Jordanian customs, culture, history, politics, religion, national exports, education in Jordan etc. Additionally, I had accidentally left my Jordan pass back at the hotel, and he went out of his way to try and accommodate my mistake by asking locals if we could email my pdf to their computer so we could print it out again. We were unable to do this despite several attempts, but the lengths he went to to try and fix MY problem were truly commendable, and way beyond the call of duty. I had a fantastic experience visiting these wonderful historic sites, and I HIGHLY recommend Basel to anyone wishing to do any tours of Jordan. Thanks Basel for a wonderful day, and for the truly fond memories of Jordanian hospitality you extended towards me.

          Highly recommend Zaid Tours & Travel for your trip to Jordan. My friend and I had a great time with our customized 8-day Islamic package which included visits to Amman, Petra, Wadi Rum and Jerusalem. We were fortunate to have Hasan as our tour guide. He is very friendly, knowledgeable, humourous and accommodating. I would also like to commend Safinaz and Lina of Zaid Tours & Travel who were very responsive in replying to our queries and assisting in making the arrangements for our trip.

          A visit to Holy Land
          A holy and historical land. It was my dream to visit wonderful Petra caves in Jordan. Floating in the Dead Sea, standing on the Nebo mountain, where once Moses stood looking at the Promised Land, roaming along the Jordan river where Jesus Christ was baptized... everything made me elated. The Citadel in Amman is another wonder. As a historian and archaeologist I loved these places. Jordan is nice, jordanians are good. Though the trip is slightly expensive, its worth. The hotels are good. Be careful with some yellow taxis, they try to cheat. Jordan is benefitting from tourism. The government should not think that all tourists are rich. Let them help old people use battery vehicles at a lower price. Let senior citizens be respected. Pestering locals is another problem. The Jordan Pass is not accepted in several important places like Nebo Mountain, Christ's Baptism place, Churches in Madaba, the Jordan Museum in Amman etc. However, the copper Dead Sea scross in Jordan Museum is another wonder for me. If I have time, I will visit Jordan again. Altogether Jordan is safe for tourists.

          Amazing experience.
          As a solo traveler, this place was very comforting and welcoming. One of the best massages I ever had. Place was amazing and the people there were even more amazing. My masseuse was fantastic and knew what she was doing. I’ve had three back surgeries so I’m always trying to be careful and she was excellent. The atmosphere was great and the hibiscus juice is one of the best juices I’ve ever had. They let me stay and do the Jacuzzi and steam before and after and tried to accommodate me with anything I needed. Jamal offered me 20% discount if I wanted to come back the next day and I took him up on it!!! They even walked me outside to make sure the cab driver didn’t try to charge me extra money. This is an authentic Turkish back house and amazing experience. I highly recommend it!!

          Book with Zaid Tours and ONLY Zaid Tours. Incredible 10/10
          How can we put into words what an incredible trip this was? Such a seamless experience! Our tour guide Mahmoud was such a respectful, extremely informative and kind person who took care of us so well. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We also had Sofiane give us a tour of Petra - he is absolutely amazing as well. An overall 10/10 experience. We stayed in luxury hotels throughout and had such a wonderful time exploring Jordan. We did not have a single hiccup. We had a magical time exploring Petra, then stayed at the Bubble hotels in Wadi Rum, had tea with the locals, went star gazing, almost went on a hot air balloon ride (but didn’t due to weather), enjoyed the Dead Sea at the Kempenski hotel. We could go on for pages about how perfect this trip was. All we can say is DO NOT HESITATE and book with Zaid Tours. They will not disappoint!

          An authentic Jordanian experience
          My guide Mahmoud was superb. I like to learn about the society of the country I am visiting as well as see the sights and in this respect Mahmoud was brilliant, providing me with wonderful insights about the people of this great country. I do not drink so Mahmoud offered to replace the wine tasting with a Turkish Hammam experience which is really something. Don’t go for the “hard” massage unless you’re prepared to be seriously pummeled. The dinner at a local, non tourist restaurant was first class. Really great traditional Arab food. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and Mahmoud’s company and cannot recommend this experience more highly.

          Excellent 5 day tour
          I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for arranging my trip around Jordan. It has been a wonderful experience. Thank you for choosing Hassan as my tour guide. He has been brilliant from before I travelled until my drop off in Amman now. Always punctual and communication has been brilliant. Checks if I am ok especially in Petra when he heard fireworks. A better and more professional person would be difficult to find. Loved the locations we visited. Hassan’s knowledge is brilliant. He also got a very good guide for me on Petra. Please pass on my thanks to him. He has made my holiday the wonderful experience it has been.

          We are over the moon with the whole experience! Every single day brought a complete range of truły remarkable attractions and emotions. If you're looking for a spectrum of adventures, want to take a dip in the Dead Sea, or follow the steps of T.E. Lawrence, this is a must!

          Wonderful day trip to Petra and dead sea!
          We had an amazing day trip to Petra and dead sea, and our driver/guide Basel was accommodative and informative. Lunch arrangements at Al Qantarah was exquisite.

          Very nice
          Just had this tour of Jordan. Entire tour was seamless and worry free with all accommodations, transport, meals (except lunch), guides to Petra and Jerash arranged. Just have to arrive at Jordan with your bags. Would recommend this tour to all first time visitors to Jordan. Driver Mr Mahmood was also polite and on time every day. If there is anything to improve on is that the two night stay in Petra is too much for me. If can replace one night stay in Petra with Wadi Rum will be perfect tour.

        Mr Firas provided an excellent service, both as a driver and a tour guide. He was very friendly, punctual and helpful in communicating with local people. I’m sure I will contact the company again if I’m back to Jordan.
