    Reply from: Timeless Tours
    Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your recent trip to Jordan. We are genuinely pleased to hear that you found the Amman International Hotel fantastic and that your time at the Citadel, Jerash, and Petra lived up to the "bucket list" expectations. However, I want to sincerely apologize for the areas where we fell short, particularly regarding your experience in Wadi Rum and your interactions with the tour driver. Regarding your concerns, I have noted the following for immediate internal review: Driver Conduct: It is disappointing to hear about the abrasive attitude you encountered. We aim for our guests to feel supported, not pressured. Your feedback regarding the "upselling" of included sites is being taken very seriously, as this does not align with our transparent pricing policy. Itinerary & Logistics: We regret that the Lawrence of Arabia caves were missed and that the accommodation location was not as specified. We strive for accuracy in our documentation and will investigate why your stay was moved to a neighboring district. Subcontracting: While we sometimes partner with local specialists to provide the best regional expertise, they are expected to uphold the "Timeless Tours" standard. We clearly missed the mark here. We are glad that the verbal altercation eventually led to a better atmosphere and that you were able to enjoy the Dead Sea, even if the final day felt rushed. Your feedback is invaluable. It helps us audit our partners and ensure that the "potential" for a great experience becomes a reality for every guest. We would love the chance to welcome you back in the future to show you the seamless service we are known for. Warm regards, Timeless Tours team

    Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback. First and foremost, please accept our sincerest apologies for the frustrations you experienced during your trip. This is certainly not the level of service or the seamless experience we strive to provide at Timeless Tours. We take your concerns very seriously, and I would like to address the points you raised: Communication & Meeting Point: We are incredibly sorry for the confusion regarding your arrival hotel and the delayed response from our team. We rely on clear communication to start your holiday right, and we clearly missed the mark here. We are grateful to the hotel owner who assisted you, but we recognize that this responsibility should have been ours. Group Size & Subcontracting: Our tours are advertised with a specific maximum capacity to ensure an intimate and high-quality experience. Hearing that you were part of a group of 41 is very concerning. We are currently investigating why this consolidation occurred with the local provider to ensure our "small group" promise is strictly upheld in the future. Tipping Transparency: We aim to be fully transparent about all on-ground costs. If the tipping expectations were not clearly outlined in your pre-departure documentation, that is a lapse we need to correct immediately. Your feedback is vital in helping us improve our operations and hold our local partners to the high standards our guests expect. We would like to look into your specific booking further to make things right.

    • Timeless ToursOperatorWritten November 2025

      You may choose to buy the Jordan pass that would grant you a free entry visa to Jordan upon arrival. You may purchase the "Wanderer" Jordan pass. It's about $100-$110 USD. Yes. It's totally safe to travel to Jordan next March. The temperature is between 22-27 C. Yes. We can dip and floating in the Dead Sea.

      Louis

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      How is the room at the Camp in Wadi Rum? Is it a private room with toilet?

    • Timeless ToursOperatorWritten November 2025

      Ramadan won't affect our tour at all. All the sites would be available and the tourist restaurants would be operating as usual. The tent in Wadi Rum is a private twin or double room with private en-suite bathroom.

      Louis

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      I read the reviews from previous travelers and confused about the Wadi Rum Tent hotel. Some said we have to pay additional cost to get the room with toilet or we have to use shared toilet. Is that true? We are afraid that there are many scammers and tricky tours in Both Egypt and Jordan.

    • Timeless ToursOperatorWritten November 2025

      In Wadi Rum, I assure you that you will have a private tent with private bathroom without any extra charges.

      The hotels booked as part of the tour are 3*. Here is a list of the accommodation options for this tour: Amman: Amman West hotel, Petra: Canyon hotel, Wadi Rum: Hassan El-Zwediah camp or similar.

      Tim

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      Thanks for the quick response. How much will be the 5* upgrade cost? I think 3* should be ok as long as it is family friendly and provide good vegetarian options in breakfast. For Wadi Rum, you will be giving complementary Dome tent?
