Great short break to a fascinating destination Petra with a great company Intrepid

A great trip if you want some freedom to explore on your own. Our driver and guide gave a great overview then we were able to enjoy at our own pace

A quick itinerary that never felt rushed, it was a great first introduction to Jordan. I can't recommend my guide Raed enough, helping me with translations when there were last-minute changes on my end and being so understanding.

Wow! We had the most incredible three days in Jordan, we fit in so much into this short time, even adding in Wadi Rum on the last day as we were happy to start early! Our guide Mahmood absolutely made our trip, he was so knowledgeable, great company and really went out of his way to ensure we had a perfect experience. Highly recommend this whistle stop tour for anyone who wants to experience Jordan but is limited on time.

A huge thanks to our driver Adil for an incredible journey to Madaba, the Dead Sea, and Petra. We appreciated all that he shared with us about Jordan along the way and his careful driving. Thanks also to Deir for a super informative tour of Petra's key sites -- we had a fabulous time exploring this bucket list destination.

Petra independent short break was a great introduction to Jordanian history and life. The people are generous, friendly and helpful. Our driver Bush was informative and attentive to our needs and our guide Khalid around Petra historical sight was brilliant, so much information, so much fun and such a great promoter of his country and town.

This was the 7th (I think??) trip with Intrepid that I have done - and was very different to any others I have done. The biggest difference was this didn't have a group or a tour leader. Luckily I don't mind a bit of solo travel, but if you're not happy spending time alone, avoid this tour. Also I had to spend approx 5 hours before the tour started trying to get confirmation as to where the tour would start (which seeing as it turned out to be only me on the tour - seems a bit laborious!).. I was also charged extra for being picked up at my hotel (again, seeing as I was the only one on the tour seems a bit much) The trip itself was good, and I got to see the things I wanted in a short amount of time. Day 1 I was picked up from my hotel by Ihab (he was fab!), who then drove me in his car to Petra (stopping for lunch at the dead sea). He then dropped me at my hotel. Next day I was met by someone else at the hotel for my tour of Petra (approx 2hrs), he was also great & he gave me advice on how to spend the rest of my day in Petra. I then had to spend some time calling Ihab & the Intrepid office (with no luck) to try and find out how I was getting back to Amman the following day. When I got hold of Ihab he told me he had just been informed that he would be driving me back. Day 3 Ihab picked me up and drove me back to Amman On reflection, for the cost of this tour and the amount of time I spent speaking to people before the trip, I would recommend just booking the different elements yourself. You'd probably get a better standard of accommodation and it would be cheaper overall
