“If you are in Jordan, you must visit the Hellenistic Palace and Ancient Caves. We booked this tour with Alex and indeed did it in style. We learned so much about Hellenistic culture from Alex and visited some amazing ruins, which we never thought existed in Jordan. I wish we had…”
We had a partial day in Amman so wanted to book a half day tour. While previous reviews of Alex's tour were great, this tour far exceeded our expectations. The tour wasn't three hours, it was four. Alex was in no hurry to get us back to the hotel, which was great. The tours of the caves and Qasr al-Abd were extremely interesting and off the beaten path-no big tour buses to deal with. Just what we wanted. Alex was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We finished the tour at a Women's Co-Op for tea and coffee. They make all kinds of pottery here, and we went into the shop and bought two pieces. Reasonable prices and the money goes to a good cause. All items are made here, not elsewhere. Alex even arranged transportation for tonight to go to the Amman airport. This was a great ending to our 16-day trip to Jordan and Israel.
If you are in Jordan, you must visit the Hellenistic Palace and Ancient Caves. We booked this tour with Alex and indeed did it in style. We learned so much about Hellenistic culture from Alex and visited some amazing ruins, which we never thought existed in Jordan. I wish we had more time and gone to see more places. We highly recommend Alex for your day tours from Amman.
That was one of the most beautiful castles in Jordan, and I loved all the additional stops. It’s one of the best tours I had in a while. Highly recommend!
Alex is a superb guide who has done extensive research in art and archaeology. He really loves showing people these amazing sites and is great company.. I spent the whole day with him doing the ancient caves and Quasr-ai-Abd, both of which were fascinating and in stunning settings. Afterwards, he also drove me to see the gorgeous mosaics in Madaba and to photograph and spend time by the magnificent Dead Sea. I highly recommend Alex's tours and will be signing up for other excursions with him.
This tour is absolutely amazing, and I have to recommend it to anyone who has even a little bit of time in Amman! I only had one full day to spend in Amman, and I feel like this was the best way to spend it. I deeply enjoyed all of the unique and beautiful sites Alex showed me, and I had an unforgettable experience. Alex, the tour guide, is very friendly and has a lot of insight into all of the hidden sites around Amman. This is probably one of the most personable and fun tours I’ve ever been on, and I’m thankful to Alex for being such a great guide!
Excellent tour, very informative and enjoyable. Alex drove us to the caves and castle, as well as other places. The caves were very interesting to discover, and the castle is truly amazing. We had coffee and the workshop, and were dropped off at the restaurant on the way back. Alex is very polite and flexible. I would highly recommend him for all tours in Jordan.
We had a great time with Alex. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who has a few extra hours in Amman. He took us to places which we wouldn't have found without him. Thanks again for having us.
