Most Inspirational Moment

Every day there was something ! The markets in Amman were wonderfully loud and colourful. I loved Mount Nebo, Bethany was serene, the desert trip and camel ride was such fun and of course there is Petra. This is not just a one wow moment, I had no idea of just how big, amazing, beautiful the whole site is. From the whole trip though, the Jordanian people. They are friendly, helpful, funny, rightly proud of their country and happy to share the culture and so much more. Everywhere, absolutely everywhere, and in every interaction we were met with a smile, kindness and were welcomed to their country.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mikhled's love and passion to share beautiful Jordan was very evident. He was organised, there is a lot to see and do in a week, but with enough time at all the sites and activities. He was always available, guiding us with plenty, but not overwhelming amounts of information. He moved us with suggestions, but not instructions, giving us the information for the highlights and headlines but also the smaller, often very special things that interested us personally and always with a smile.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This is a varied and mixed trip with sightseeing, amazing history and also activities like the desert time and Dead Sea giving some downtime. We went a day early as the direct flight gets in quite late. The hotel was really well located to get out and about, close to landmarks, museums and the markets. We had a Get Your Guide walking tour for a couple of hours which was also really good fun and a very good use of the extra time, but it was also very easy to just wander, find food etc on our own. We felt perfectly safe the whole time. The Jordanians are ready and waiting to welcome you, get it booked up ! ( One other little tip - take elasticated waists, the food everywhere is so good ! )

Most Inspirational Moment

The vastness of Petra, the High Alter walk and the stillness of the Wadi Rum.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It’s very quiet just now so a great time to visit, The optional hikes in Petra are well worth doing and moderate in difficulty, It is an adventure with so much to see and do, I didn’t feel rushed though. Our group gelled and we all supported each other.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was good a bit too informative at time as it ate into exploration time.

Advice for Potential Travellers

totally dpe ds what you want for a holiday. if its race from place to place and not absorb it then it for you. however if you want to absorb the culture and mooch around on your own book a day or so before and after. so you can visit the surrounding area. jordanians deserve for you to mingle and see their products within the markets rather ten the recommended "friend shops of the guide"

Ab was an amazing guide who was always there and ready to help. His English was very clear and exceptional meaning I was able to understand the entire trip very easily. He was always eager to answer any questions from the group with expert knowledge and was a pleasure to enjoy a week with!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Amer is so passionate about Jordan, the history and the culture, and his passion brought everything to life. He managed the delicate balance of including everyone, addressing individual interests and keeping us all on track without us feeling rushed or ignored. Even people not interested in history were interested in how Amer brought ancient civilisations to life. He set us up for our free time really well as we went armed with information that allowed us to engage with what we were seeing. Top guide!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Book this trip, you will be delighted! We felt so safe and welcomed. Bring hiking shoes/boots. I brought trainers and will bring light hiking boots next time. Bring a sleeping bag liner & pillowcase for the night in the desert. A water bottle on a cross body strap is really practical. We went a day early and Exodus arranged for us to be collected at the airport by the lovely Nasr. We really enjoyed our day in Amman, walking around the old town and the Jordan museum. Also have lunch at Shams El Balad, delicious food in a lovely conservatory restaurant.

Having time to explore Petra at leisure. Snorkelling in Red Sea

Thoughts on Group Leader

Passionate and informed guide who cared deeply about the welfare of the group and made a huge effort to ensure everyone was included and catered for. Led by example e.g. Picking up litter and supporting traders who were selling is less accessible areas of Petra.

I liked him. He was very personable, knowledgeable and friendly. He was extremely kind and helpful to a member of our group who had to curtail her holiday and return home due to family illness.

Petra and the stay at the Beduin camp at Wadi Rum were the highlights. The Dead Sea experience was also well worth it.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mikhled was an excellent tour leader. He was engaging, was patient with all our questions and made every effort to make our trip the best trip ever. For optional lunches and dinners, he made it a point to accompany us to the best local restaurants so that the entire group had a lovely social experience and negotiated group prices for dinners. He made sure everyone was taken care of and every request was patiently addressed.
