Best trip my wife and I have ever gone on. Can’t recommend this company/tour guide enough. “G” tour guide was beyond exceptional. In too many ways to enumerate in this review, he injected value and accommodated requests well beyond even the most unreasonable of expectations. I left really impressed. We had an unbelievable experience from start to finish, can’t wait to book another trip with these guys.

We had a nearly perfect tour of Jordan purchased through Tour Radar. It was advertised that there would be a tour size of 10-15 people, but when we arrived at the airport and met the tour guide we were informed that it would in fact be a private tour with just my husband, myself, and the tour guide! So we had a very personalized itinerary and lots of attention. Plenty of space in the van, and we got to have one on one conversations the whole week and learn so much from our guide. He was the consummate professional, meeting us in our hotel lobby every morning. He gave wonderful recommendations throughout the trip. The itinerary was perfect - not too much per day, nor too little, but perfect action-filled days including every major attraction we could think of in Jordan. We felt perfectly safe the entire trip, too. This was my first tour booked through Tour Radar, and I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend them. I will definitely book through them again, based on this experience.

Every part of the tour went to schedule. The transfers on time. The itinerary gave an excellent view of Jordan past and present. Tge tour guide known simply as "G" was fantastic. His knowledge was great, he was empathetic to all participants and helped people if they were struggling. The hotels were good standard. My only negative at PETRA I would have preferred if you had the option to prepay and had a choice to use Golf cart from the entry to the foot of the monastery. One couple paid quite a bit for the buggy as you don't have a choice. I too paid for horse and also donkey to take to top of monastery but once again you are left to negotiate. On the Go could have all those costs as optional and alleviate stress as its a tough climb. As previously mentioned the visa situation could be clarified in your booking form as it is at times contradictory. All in all ON THE GO TOURS did everything as outlined in tour itinerary.
