Dear Lamees:
It was extremely sad leaving your beautiful country after such a fulfilling vacation. We would have liked to stay longer, due in no small part to your company's organization of the time and trip. There is no much more to see. I especially enjoyed the warm welcome of the Jordanian people.
Without Mohammed, our driver, this would have not been possible. He very quickly understood what I had come to

Having my great sense of humour I usually ask the restaurants for information, not only about how many per cent they have to pay in taxes, but also the percentage for the rent, raw material, staff and of course their profit for the meal in question!
Of course, there is not much JD Tours can do about this phenomena, other than conveying this criticism when you have a conference with the restaurants.
Other than that, I think

Dear Lamees
We returned from holiday on Sunday morning and we are now back at work after Eid. We had an excellent holiday and thank you very much for organising such an interesting itinerary. Thank you particularly for rearranging the itinerary at such short notice.
Our driver, Ibrahem Alsmadi, was excellent and we would be very happy to have him as our driver when we come again (notice I said when, not if).
We are thinking ahead to the Ramadan period next year (this seems a quiet period for the hotels) and we are considering a trip based on the Kempinski Ishtar (which really is very good indeed). We saw most of the sights on this holiday but we would like another visit to Wadi Rum, perhaps for longer and including sight of the sunset. We would also need transport to and from Kempinski and to Wadi Rum. We are also open to suggestions for places we haven't seen. Could you give us some ideas for an intinerary and prices based on this information - staying at least a week and then perhaps a price for each extra night?
Thanks very much, again, for all your help.

Dear Miss Shakhshir;
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed my all-too-brief holiday in your beautiful country and to thank yourself and Jordan Direct Tours for the most excellent services which you have provided for me. I will say without hesitation that this was perhaps the most enjoyable trip that I have had in many, many years. And may I also add that a very major part of my enjoyment was the result of the also-excellent work of my driver, and new good friend, Mohammed Karajeh. I would enthusiastically recommend Mohammed, and Jordan Direct (and already have) to anyone I know who is interested in a visit to

Good morning Lamees
That was one of the best holidays we have ever had! This is because of:-
The varied beauty of your country
The hospitality of every person we met
The feeling of safety and lack of threat everywhere
The organisation from Jordan Direct.
Everything worked perfectly. When we needed support Mohammed was there; when we needed time alone we had time alone. Cars arrived on time, hotels bookings were honoured, guides were available as required - absolutely no problems.
I think the decision to start in Madaba was for us a good one. A nice quiet introduction to Jordan rather than the big city of Amman. I know that I suggested hotels to you when I first contacted you - thank you for quietly suggesting other hotels. You were absolutely right in Madaba and the upgrade in Petra was a very pleasant surprise.
What was the best part of the holiday? It got better as we went south. Umm Quais and Jerash were good. Kerak, Mukawir and the countryside around Wadi Mujib, Dana/Wadi Hesa were better. Petra was astounding and Wadi Rum was unbelievable!!!
I know that every country has different attractions but there is so much in Jordan that it deserves more visitors! I will be passing your name on to all my friends and family - I hope you get some more reservations from them.
Thank you once again for organising such a wonderful week.
Best wishes to you all

Dear Lamees,
This is just a short note to thank you and your organisation for providing us with such an excellent tour of Jordan.
The hotels you selected were very good (only the Marriott in Petra seemed a little 'tired' but then it caters largely for people who stay there only to visit the sites at Petra, rather than to stay in the hotel for the sake of it).
The driver you allocated to us, Okba, was exceptionally good. His driving and time-keeping were first class and he was very knowledgeable about Jordan and its places of interest. Also, he was very good company, with a fine sense of humour. Nearly everything went extremely well on our tour and we shall be recommending your company to our friends.
With best regards to you, Raed and Okba,

Hello Lamees
We all had such an amazing tour of Jordan, we had to write to you and pass on our congratulations and many thanks for organizing such an enjoyable holiday for us.
As we are not sure who to write to, to pass on our appreciation, we would appreciate if you could pass this message on to your Manager and especially to the person who is the Manager of our escort: Khalid – Alwahsh
The four of us in our group were totally impressed with Khalid to the point where if we came back to Jordan we would ask for him again. He was totally professional throughout the whole tour; was discreet when required; was protective of us at all times; provided valuable information and even went out of his way to ensure that during ‘off tour times’ we enjoyed local restaurants and attractions that he recommended. We would strongly recommend him to future guests.
Also, our entry and exit from Jordan was very efficient at the hands of Raed.
Lastly, but certainly not least, we would like to thank you for you very efficient organization in making the planning of our trip run so smoothly. We were most impressed with your immediate replies to our many questions and especially to the efficient change to our itinerary when we increased the length of our stay.
Thank you again and well done!

This is just to repeat what we said to you at Queen Alia Airport: We had a wonderful time in Jordan, thanks to Jordan and Jordan Direct! Everything worked out just fine! Even the splitting up of our itinerary that you did for us was just perfect. Whenever anyone of our friends plans to go to Jordan, which I can highly recommend, and thinks of doing it with a travel agency I will definitely suggest Jordan Direct.
