Reviews of Small Group tours to Jordan
- Jordan Odyssey - 7 Day Small Group Tour
Landing in a new country and they welcomed us like we were already part of the family. Everything about Jordan was wonderful, I didn’t want it to end. Great, varied scenery from mountains to the sea and the beautiful Petra. The guide was knowledgeable, accommodating and went above and beyond to help out. Every detail is worked out, can’t praise Hawari Travels enough for running a great trip.
- Jordan Explorer – 8 Day Small Group Tour
The tour hits all the right spots across Jordan, with Petra being the highlight of the trip. They took care of every detail, had everything under control, and made us feel safe at all times. We had a few local guides in different locations of the trip and they were all so lovely, funny, knowledgeable and easy to get along with, allowing us to experience so many different things while still having time to enjoy the moment. The rich cultural experiences through the itinerary like stopping at a local cooperative and trying real Jordanian food between sightseeing became some of our favourite memories. We did so much that I feel like we got a proper feel of the Jordanian culture.
- Jordan Jewels - 8 Days
Jordan is an extraordinary country - the history, culture and landscape make it worth the trip almost no matter what. That said, I booked to travel with a group and only found out (when I asked; info was not volunteered) right beforehand that I would be traveling alone. This was a surprise and not my choice but there was nothing to do at that point. I had one wonderful driver - Mohamed - throughout the trip and that was great. The hotels were good/ fine, not great. There were guides on only two half days and both were engaged by the historical site (e.g. my guide worked for the entity operating the park at Petra), they were not private guides or guides employed by the tour company. Long story short, know your expectations, read the fine print, and ask questions long in advance. Know what's important to you: Is the hotel in a central location? Are there restaurants within walking distance? How much time is spent with and without the guide? What are the amenities in the hotels? How many people will you be traveling with or will they operate the trip if it's only one or two people? Nothing was misstated to me or concealed, I just didn't know to ask and had some challenges as a result. The company was fine in their communication with me though when I asked four days in advance to be moved to a more central location for my final night I was told that wasn't possible.
What our customers ask about Jordan Small Group Tours
What are the typical group sizes for small group tours in Jordan?
Most small group tours in Jordan keep numbers between 8 and 16 participants which allows for easier movement through archaeological sites and desert landscapes. This size works well for navigating popular spots like Petra and lets travelers get to know their fellow adventurers. Local hotels like the Larsa in Amman can accommodate these groups comfortably without splitting them up. As one TourRadar traveler noted "The size of the group (16) was the maximum we would have wanted." These smaller numbers also make it easier to visit Bedouin communities and arrange special experiences.
How does the accommodation vary on small group tours in Jordan?
Accommodations on Jordan's small group tours range from urban hotels to desert camps offering different perspectives on the country. In Petra travelers often stay at established properties like the Petra Moon Hotel while Wadi Rum features traditional Bedouin camps such as The Captain's Camp. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The hotels recommended by our tour operator—Petra Moon Hotel The Captains Camp and Ramada Hotel—were very good offering both comfort and authentic experiences."
What is the best way to experience Petra with a small group tour?
Small group dynamics allow for strategic timing at Petra including early morning visits before the crowds arrive. Groups can take lesser-known paths like the back route to the Monastery and spend time at Little Petra without rushing. Hotels like the Movenpick Petra or Petra Guest House provide convenient bases for exploration. A TourRadar traveler shared: "With our small group we could move at our own pace through the Siq and spend extra time photographing the Treasury without feeling rushed."
How does the cultural experience in Jordan differ with small group tours?
Small numbers create more opportunities for genuine local connections whether in Bedouin camps or city markets. Groups can join cooking classes in Petra visit family homes for meals and explore Amman's bazaars without overwhelming local spaces. The setup at places like Sun City Camp in Wadi Rum and neighborhood restaurants like Al-Qantara allows for natural conversation with locals. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Being in a small group allowed us to have dinner with a local family and learn about Jordanian traditions in a way that wouldn't be possible with a large group."
