We did the one-day Petra tour with from our Cruise Ship (Aqaba) with Wonders Tourism. This was a small bus (16 people) tour with lunch included. This was a fantastic... read more tour with a great guide. Very well organized and very informative. Great lunch stop. I would highly recommend.
Tour aside - some observations about Petra - it is amazing and a lifetime highlight. But it is hard to imagine a major tourist site so badly run. The walk to the treasury is easy - downhill and you are told you can get a golf cart for the ride back up But - there are too few carts and run too infrequently- when we were there the wait for a cart was about two hours! And they charge was about $25 for a 5 minute ride half way up.
We ended up walking up - but at the end of the cavern we opted for the "free" horse ride (just tips!) for the reminder of the hike. What a rip off! First a tip to help you on the horse; then a tip to take your picture, then a tip to lead the horse and then a tip to help you off the horse - and no matter what you offered as a tip it wasn't enough and you were yelled for to giving enough! Best to avoid the locals.

We travelled with my husband late January 2022, and had a wonderful guide Mahmud, driver name Anas - very professional.
We visited the old & new city Amman, then Dead sea, Jarash, Petra and Wadi Rum. Mahmud provided great details into the history of the areas and took care of us. when we booked the tour, we wanted to make a special trip - traveling to Joran was definitely a trip of a lifetime! Thank you so much for the hospitality. I highly recommend Wonders Travel and Tourism! Thanks!

This is one of the modern wonders of the world. It is a must visit attraction in Jordan.I went on a daytrip to Petra and I wish I had more... read more time to spend there. You can not see even 10% of it all in one day. I've been reading and studing a lot about Petra , but with our guide “Mohammad” you'll deffenetly learn more, as his family - use to live there .
Petra was really out of this world. It was unbelievable. No words can describe the amazing accomplishments of the Nabateans. You need a lot of time though to explore.
The pick up went smooth, it took 2 and half hours to get there, but listing to our guide will shorten time much, after 2 hours with the guide we another 2,5 hours free time, after that we met other participants at the restaurant and had lunch, which exeeded our excpectations.
What an amazing trip! highly recommend.
I purchased Petra tour and the 3in1 tour from this agency in Tala bay. First of all, the agency is located in the resort, which is extremely big advantage to... read more visit and be informed deeply about tours. they have another office in the center of Aqaba. What's more, the staff who introduced the tours for me were pretty kind, they feel me so comfortable.
By the way, the prices are also really reasonable according to other agencies in Aqaba.
In a nutshell, good quality tours, reasonable prices and caring staff... When you come to Aqaba, you should definitely have a look this agency! I recommend .
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. A lot of time in the minibus but worth it to visit Petra. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer all our questions... read more on Petra and Jordan as well as the tour.
I can recommend the Tour to anyone who is in Aqaba.
My wife and I loved this! We were fetched right on front of our hotel by our tour guide Mohammad. I liked his calm demeanour. Never asked us for a... read more review on TA. He was so wonderful and knew so much of the history, followed up with several personal anecdotes and knew how to keep the group captivated and involved. Petra is 150% incredible beauty and definitely worth exploring! I'd love to be able to go back. It was definitely worth it and something you should do if you love history. Fantastic experience, highly recommend !
Mohammad brings a sense of history to every tour while showing you things you've run right by countless times without stopping to look (up, down, over, around). Touring with Mohammad... read more is like spending time with the greatest ambassador for Jordan and your newest, most favorite friend )) Highly appreciate and recommend !
I've recently had a stay arranged in Jordan/Aqaba by Wonders Travel and I can strongly recommend this tour operator. Everything went smoothly and according to my wishes & expectations. Next... read more time they'll definitely be my choice again. Thumbs up!
We were visiting Jordan for the day while onboard Jewel of the Seas, my husband was unable to go due to the walking conditions so I was wondering how I'd... read more manage to get a tour on my own. Yaseen from wonder tourism was fantastic with very prompt replies to any queries I had and I was able to join others in a mini bus. The tour was very well organised, we were picked up at the port, taken to the office to pay then on to Petra with a toilet/shopping stop on the way. Petra is amazing and our guide(sorry can't remember your name) was very informative and interesting. A fantastic buffet lunch of local dishes was also included, some of our group were scared to try things and ended up eating pasta, but I had a bit of all the dishes and they were very tasty. I think the tours to Petra seem expensive, but they include entrance to Petra which is expensive on its own. Highly recommended tour
We arranged this tour with Mr. Yaseen M. and he responded very promptly,
We booked a full day tour from Aqaba to Petra. Pick up at 8.00 AM from the... read more port, and returned on time at 5.00PM.
