Highest recommendation for Jordan day tours and longer tours - Omran himself was my driver for the day and not only is he an excellent driver but he also has a boundless knowledge of all things related to travel in Jordan. But more than that, his atttention to detail and the care he took that everything was perfect were beyond my highest expectations. He bought us coffee, cold water and food so we would be comfortable throughout the trip. The stories he shared gave us a greater insight into the Jordanian way of life.
After an unforgettable day, my only regret is that we didn’t ask him and his team to organize our entire 8 day tour of Jordan.
In short, I recommend Omran and his team at Jordan-Car-And-Driver.com most highly for organizing day trips and longer tours (with driver or self-drive)! You couldn’t be in better hands.

Just perfect! - The driver came right on time to pick us from the hotel, the car was very clean and we even got free wifi in the car all the trip. We payed for the full day tour but before Jerash we got a surprise extra stop to Tell Mar Elias (birth place of St. Elijah) which was also very interesting. Our driver was very professional and very helpful. He recomanded us a good restaurant for lunch in Jerash (very good and plenty of food at a decent price) which we surely would have never spotted without his help. A great day! We made a good choice!

Excellent Excellent. - I had the best driver ever. He was really good. 10 stars out of 10. Unfortunately I do not remember his name. Much to see and I enjoyed the whole time. Very happy that I had the opportunity to visit these 3 sites. Can absolutely recommend this trip.

You and this trip will be etched out in our memories forever. - Our vacation would not have been half as exciting if we did not have a tour guide as experienced and friendly.

A great day - Aladin was our driver, very smooth driving, just enough talkative. We did a full day tour and needed a little customization, which Jordan day tour helped us organise. All was good. Thank you again !

Amazing trip with a five-star driver - Highly recommended trip with Jordan Day Tour and More
Five stars for Moumther, my private driver, an over helpful man (during the trip, he invites me water, Turkish coffee, grapes...)
He gave me, during the long journeys along Jordanian roads, practical and historical information. Omran, agency manager, called me twice to make sure everything was going well and that it was to my satisfaction
Definitively recommended.

Private Transport to Jordan’s Attractions - Private transportation to several of the major attractions in Jordan. This is not a guided tour but you can hire guides at the sites if you feel it’s necessary. The vehicle and the drive was comfortable and I felt I had plenty of time to see everything. I did think this was slightly expensive but because of my short stay, I didn’t feel like shopping around.
