          It was a great experience of a beautiful, peaceful and safe country. Ms Basmah helped us plan the tour and was constantly in touch throughout. Mr Hisham took us around for 5 days and was very kind and helping us to take photos, suggesting sights and places to eat. Also offered us flexibility in our itirenerary as per our preferences. Wadi rum is truly exceptional.

          EXCELLENT SERVICE AND HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!
          Ms. Aida provided exceptional and personalized service, ensuring every detail of our vacation was taken care of from booking to departure. While our Journey was smooth and amazing by the personalized service of our driver Mr. Alaadiin made us enjoy every moment of comfort without any worries during the journey. He was fluent in English and knowledgeable about the historical places we visited. He also helped us a lot and his safe service really makes us comfortable and he takes care of our family to make sure we are safe through out the journey. In Petra - Mr. Samy our tour guide is very fluent in English & guided us professionally while in Petra. Wadi Rum: Our stay was really great at Harir Luxury Camp by En Anas. I highly recommend everyone for their excellent service. And will come again using Jordan Horizon Tours explore service with Miss Aida and Mr Alaadin to explore more historical places in Jordan!!! And lastly once again I personally would like to say thank you for the excellent services that has given to us by Miss Aida and Mr Alaadin which we highly appreciate it!!!!💕

          Customized trip in Jordan
          We were captivated by the landscapes of Jordan, it’s beautiful (less so by the visit to the city of Amman)! Jordan Horizons Tours offered us a customized trip (Dead Sea, Mount Nebo, Petra, Wadi Rum). They were very attentive, professional, available, and responsive. We are very satisfied.

          Great for families!
          Jordan's a great spot for a family vacation. There are Roman ruins, then there's Petra, and you get a PoV of Bedouin culture. Coming to the tour package - they follow it to the tee, give you ample time to get ready and have amazing drivers tagged to you. Would highly recommend this for going with fam

          Amazing and Easy
          My husband and I came to visit Petra and Wadi Rum but we ended up discovering Jordan and falling in love with the country, thanks to our guide Ashraf. Ashraf picked us up at the Hussein Bridge Crossing and in three days gave us a solid understanding of his culture and country. We loved it! We are definitely recommending Jordan Horizons Tours and Ashraf to our family and friends.

          Superb Service!
          Easy & fast deal with Aida. Just need to be open and honest to her and tell her what you want. Even last minute changes is dealt with professionally. These 2 days trip from Irbid to Nabi Syuaib & Nabi Yusha, Ashabul Kahfi & Amman Downtown and Irbid to Petra & Mu'tah will not be a memorable trip without our tireless captain Alaa'. We dont even see any tiredness from his face alrhough its a long day.

          Superb from start to finish
          My partner & I visited for 4 days, and thoroughly enjoyed it all. We were so looked after and so well guided all the time. Ahmed, our driver, was calm, pleasant, punctual and easy-going, and was always happy to answer our questions. We never felt under pressure for time and he made sure we were relaxed at all times. We saw everything we wanted to see and we are so glad we went with a tour group so we could relax and enjoy ourselves without having to do any planning. It has to be noted that our tour guide in Petra, Sammy, was honestly the best tour guide we have ever had. Impeccable English, witty and extremely knowledgable, not to mention took amazing pictures of us! He has all the iPhone tricks! Jordan is super safe and I felt really comfortable at all times. Thank you Aida & Ahmed

          Highly Reccommend
          We had a great tour to Jordan organised by Jordan Horizon Tours. From the beginning they were very professional and informative. Aida shared a detailed itinerary beforehand and tailored the trip to ensure we saw as much as possible in the 4 days we had in Jordan. We had an exceptional driver Ahmed, who transferred us to each location around Jordan, and shared many great insights into the country, the people and the food! Due to the current (Nov. 2024) conflict in nearby countries we were initially a little apprehensive to visit, but we are so glad we did decide to visit now as Jordan is safe and unaffected. I would recommend anyone to visit Jordan now and use Jordan Horizon Tours to plan your trip.

          Whistle-stop tour of Jordan
          We had an amazing time in Jordan starting from being picked up in the airport by our driver Faed, who turned out to be super knowledgable, friendly and always on hand to help with anything. We stayed at Wadi Rum, visited Little Petra, Petra, Karak Castle, St George’s Church and Mount Nebo, finishing the trip with a stay/swim in the Dead Sea. We would highly recommend all of it. Such a well planned trip. Importantly, it was all calm and peaceful with Jordan not impacted by the current conflict in the Middle East, yet suffering from it as people perhaps think otherwise. A beautiful country steeped in history and well worth a visit.

          Perfect Trip To Jordan
          Our trip to Jordan was absolutely perfect, thanks to Jordan Horizons Tours. Aida did an amazing job creating the ideal schedule for us—exactly what we needed at a very reasonable price. We were lucky to have Hisham as our private driver. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and made every moment of the journey enjoyable. Although it was a short trip, the memories we made will last a lifetime. A heartfelt thank you to the entire Jordan Horizons Tours team for making this experience so special.

        Adding to the chorus of individuals who did not make it to Aqaba/Petra from the Celebrity Edge due to the ongoing conflict in the region. I spent 18 months working with JHT Tours. My group changed completely at least twice forcing countless interactions with Basma. Everything was always handled professionally and fairly. This cancellation required JHT to issue probably over 100 refunds which they completed in a very short time. I highly recommend JHT as company that offers great service and stands behind their product.

        Our personal highlight from our cruise vacation on the Red Sea. The booking went without a hitch, we were picked up at the port we specified in Aqaba and it went directly on to Petra. Drinks, wet wipes and even wifi awaited us at all time in the car. Our driver Mohamed was insanely hospitable and invited us on the way there for coffee. The ride there was very pleasant, the landscape exciting and Mohamed had many exciting stories in store. Arrived at Petra, our tour guide was already waiting for us, who led us through the canyons and explained the history of Petra to us. the highlight was the treasury and the theater. When we got back, Mohamed got us a delicious local lunch, which we ate in the car on the way to the Wadi Rum desert. Another stop was at a souvenir store, where we bought a traditional scarf and had it wrapped around our heads. After that we met with our next tour guide for the desert safari. We sat in the back of an open Toyota and enjoyed various places of the Wadi Rum desert until sunset. Afterwards Mohamed picked us up again and invited us to the end of the day to his home with his family and we finished the day with a delicious local dessert. Right on time at 21:00 we were brought back to the port of Aqaba.

        Although our stop at Aqaba port was cancelled by the cruise so we were unable to go on this tour, I wanted to report that communication with JHT was professional, friendly and efficient from beginning to end. They responded to emails promptly and processed our refund in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to use them in the future.

        Unfortunately we are not able to go on the Petra Excursion booked for next May. I contacted JHT who promptly refunded our deposit in a seamless process. Communication between myself and Basma from JHT was excellent. I have no doubt should we decide to visit Jordan in the near future we will utilise the excellent services of Basma and the team at JHT.

        *What You liked :

        Mamoon was incredible. Our driver was incredible. The taboon bread he picked up at the bakery - incredible. We really enjoyed our private tour experience and it allowed us to get in and out of Jordan from Eilat all in one day. Truly appreciate Basmah and the team helping us make it happen!



        *What you disliked :

        We did have an incident in Petra where our guide was injured - we felt SO bad. He was getting on a donkey because we wanted to do the Monastery and he was injured in the process. We've checked in with him and he's doing better (thank goodness) but it was a pure reflection of a lack of rules for Petra and NOT this tour company.

        This was a day we looked forward to and the company, guide, and drivers did not let us down. We were a party of 4 and had planned a day to see both Petra and Wadi Rum. Making reservations online was very easy and the company was very responsive to all of my questions prior to scheduling the day long tour. We were met right as the instructions said at the port and met our driver Youssef who drove us to Petra. He was very good about telling us about his country and things we saw along the way. Our ship was delayed with disembarking so Youssef made a point about staying on schedule. No problem for us. He was a delight and a very competent guide/driver. We stopped at a overlook of the valley and saw some stunning scenery - the entire day was filled with spectacular and stunning scenery - but we were up in the mountains and it was windy and chilly. Of course we shopped there and the people there were very helpful and so friendly. We then moved on to met our guide Moath at Petra and another delightful, competent guide with a lot of enthusiasm for the site. When you have a guide who is enthusiastic about the sites it really adds to the enjoyment during the tour. We found this to be the case the entire day - friendly, enthusiastic, professional guides. The best money we spent on our trip was here in Petra where we hired an electric golf cart to take us through Petra. They say the walk in is not that bad but we found the trail steeper and more slippery than we had heard so the cart really made our visit very efficient with no wasted time. It takes an hour to walk back up to the entrance so the cart saved us a lot of wasted time plus saved our sore legs! Our golf cart driver was very good about stopping so we could get off and talk about different things with Moath. Did I tell you Moath was the best guide ever? So enthusiastic, knowledgeable and made sure we saw everything! By renting the golf cart, we got to see the entire site down to the end so we really felt it was a special visit for us and we saw everything we wanted to see other than that trek of 860+ steps up to the monastery. No way we could have even attempted it given the day’s busy schedule. So if you book this tour, request Moath. You will not be disappointed. He’s that good and very friendly, enthusiastic and so knowledgeable.

        We opted to have our lunch upgraded at the Movenpick Hotel and so glad we did that! The buffet was absolutely delicious and what a spread! Plus the hotel itself is beautiful and staff there are very accommodating. It was a nice break in the day.

        Following lunch Youssef was right on time to move us on to our Wadi Rum visit. We saw the 7 pillars, camels, sand dunes, rock bridges, and had a great drive through the Wadi Rum in the back of a pickup truck, the way to really enjoy the vista. When in Rome......We were amazed at the beautiful dessert and how the colors changed with the changing sun.

        We stopped on our way back to the port for coffee and tea from Youssef and I splurged on one of those uniquely Bedouin decorated ostrich eggs. A great souvenir of a great country, visit and wonderfully delightful people. You will not be disappointed booking with this company and I recommend booking a private tour. The best personal attention for the entire day.
