Israel and Jordan Small Group Tours
Picture exploring two complex countries with a small group for easier logistics. Head to Jerusalem's religious sites, Tel Aviv's beaches and Bauhaus architecture, and cross into Jordan for Petra's Rose City, and Wadi Rum desert camping. The combination works geographically and historically. It’s fascinating, complex, and sometimes intense.

Reviews of Small Group tours to Israel And Jordan
- 11 Days Highlights of Israel and Jordan (Multi country)
It was a great tour packed with many different activities on the itinerary. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on history, sites, recent media news ... we did learn a lot. For your consideration: the choice of meals to accommodate folks with allergies, diabetes or different diets would be appropriate A choice of snacks, fruits and vegetables at a local market would be appreciated at times for lunch as not everyone wants a big buffet or restaurant lunch.
- Israel, Jordan and Petra 7-Day Experience
The tour was generally good as it was a collage of various trips with different destinations and guides. The guides were generally knowledgeable and well coordinated. However, The start of this tour was rather chaotic. The guide did not meet us at the welcome evening activity to give directions on how to join the group and get started the next day. The start of the tour was some 30 min walk away from the hostel with no information given on how to get there. The staff at the reception of Abraham Hostel Tel Aviv were not up to date with the tour information. To add insult to injury, I was sent an itinerary for the Autumn season when my booking was for Spring. Hence, I ended up showing up for activities an hour earlier. The first day sent me into panic mode unnecessarily. New updates to departure times such that of the West Bank were not communicated to anyone. Some only learned about accidentally by asking the receptionists. In a tour like this which as patch-up of a number of separate activities, it is very important to ensure smooth hand-overs,and provide a good introductory session at the very beginning. The Petra section was excellent, and very well coordinated. The Jerusalem tour was very good and very informative. The Jaffa tour was okay, but short. There was so much time left that could have been used to tour other locations in Tel-Aviv. The Florentine and other quarters promised in the itinerary were never given. The first day was mostly wasted. So this needs to be look at!
- Petra and Madaba 2-Day Tour from Tel Aviv
The Tour Highlights were Petra and Jerash. Great places to visit and Perfect explanation from the guide. I will travel with Abrahams again.
