    Dear Marianne, Thanks for taking the time to get back to us with your feedback, and thanks for the great rating too!I'm really pleased to hear that you had a good time on the tour and that you felt the guide and driver provided you with good service. It's good to hear that you were happy with the accommodations provided, though I'm sorry the breakfast offering at the San Rock hotel wasn't good - we've contacted them today and will be visiting them this week, to follow up on this and to ensure that this is improved for future guests. Thank you once again for choosing Encounters Travel in Jordan, I do hope that we can help you with another trip at some point in the future.
