        Thanks to everyone for this service, especially the driver Mohammed Abu Nimah for his knowledge of the roads and his commitment with us. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you again.

        Amazing tours and drivers!
        Amazing experience with a wonderful city tour of Amman and then a comfortable drive to Petra. My guide Loai was extremely friendly, professional and helpful at all times. I would definitely recommend :)

        Family trip to Jordan
        I have been using Taxi Transfers. Mr. Ehab Abu Saif is consummate professional. He is reliable, helpful and convivial. He go out of the way to help with organizing travel to Aqaba, harass, wadi ram, maadaba…etc. his consistently high level of service, competitive pricing, and reliability are the reasons I will continue to use him for trips and why I very strongly recommend him.

        Dead Sea Experience
        I had a very limited amount of time to explore outside of downtown Amman and was able to visit the Dead Sea. Amer was AMAZING! He was so wonderful. He was friendly, and helpful and was the perfect guide for my quick trip to the Dead Sea. I couldn’t have asked for more.

        Wonderful trip to the Dead Sea.
        A wonderful half day trip. Our driver Loai was excellent. We were in a very nice car and he explained to us the many interesting sites we passed. We had four hours at the Dead Sea and it is indeed an amazing place. We highly reccomend this trip and Loai.

        Great Driver, Great Company!
        Our driver Mahmoud was truly excellent and he is the reason I’ve given the highest rating I can possibly give. His approach was so completely professional as he welcomed us to a clean and comfortable car. I’m a nervous passenger but I felt totally safe being driven by Mahmoud. We had two separate trips, each time being driven from our hotel in Aqaba, first to Petra and then to Wadi Rum. Mahmoud ensured everything went smoothly, guided us through our experiences and made sure we were always comfortable, keeping us supplied with hot drinks and loo breaks. He gave us an insight into Jordanian life, with his interesting facts and information. All in all, I can’t recommend this company highly enough and Mahmoud in particular.

        Retaj Jordan Tours delivers top notch services! Best in business, top driver and local guide!
        This is my second visit to the Movenpick Dead Sea Resort and Spa, and once again I requested the services of Retaj Jordan Tours driver extraordinaire Mr. SHAKER. I was picked up by name at the Queen Alia International Airport with fantastic service and I also received amazing driving service to the Jordan River Baptism Site and local shopping. Mr. SHAKER is a honorable gentleman, skillful driver and very knowledgeable about the Dead Sea and Amman areas. He is recognized everywhere we go and provides very safe and dignified services on behalf of Retaj Jordan Tours. Thank you, and highly recommend your services. I will call you on my next trip, Inshallah!

      The actual on site tour was a disgrace, the site tour guide said that an Old Testament figure was risen to heaven there and Jesus was just a prophet who went there as well. The 3 or 4 minutes actual viewing of the sacred site of Jesus baptism was done so in front of a guard carrying an automatic rifle which is apparently normal practice. We were then ushered away to a filthy part of the river where you could dip your feet in opposite a Jewish outpost with a Jewish flag flying in front of us. The feeling of religious peace was a far cry from this travesty.
      No time for reflection but a quick visit to view a secular church with expensive holy water for sale and a souvenir shop was readily available for about 10 minutes each. A very unsatisfying experience certainly not on the scale one would expect. This was not by or the fault of retaj who were not the transport company involved this was the venue itself. If you want to feel Jesus at this venue better for you to keep away!

      *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
