Perseids Meteor Shower - 8 days

What an amazing adventure! I was greeted by a representative as soon as I was off the plane in Amman and transport to the hotel went smoothly. I felt like On the Go put a conscious effort in pairing single travellers as roommates (same age group, etc.). I found the tour of Jordan extremely well organised. I knew the tour was going to be quite active, and obviously visiting the desert in mid-August kicked it up an extra notch. Visiting Petra was absolutely AMAZING, and canoyoning near the Dead Sea was probably the highlight of the trip. However, you had to be decently physically fit to enjoy those two experiences to the fullest extent. I personally chose the tour because of the meteor shower. The camp in Wadi Rum was so special! People really started to relax and get to know each other with dinner, music, and dancing. There was even an astronomer on site with a telescope who let us view Jupiter, Saturn, a nebula and to teach us about what we were actually looking up at and the history behind it. Our tour guide, Mahmoud, was amazing. He was so friendly, approachable, and extremely knowledgable. I found Mahmoud to be really well organized. He communicates the days sxhddule clearly and made sure we knew exactly what to expect (walking / driving a lot / type of food, etc.) and how to be prepared (clothing / water / hats / shoes to wear). I really couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Every spot we stopped, Mahmoud was able to teach us so many different facts, and I really felt that I got a true view of the current culture of Jordan as well. I couldn’t be happier with this trip, it was beyond my expectation!

Excellent local knowledge and an extremely capable guide, I would recommend anyone to take a tour he is guiding.

it was such a great holiday. thank you to our guide Amer to create such a great friendly relaxed atmosphere for the group, and also the driver that kept the safety throughout the tour, to make this trip as one of the most memorable. we really had a fantastic people in our group that making this trip so special.

Ogla was outstanding. In the diverse group we had he pulled us all together as one team. He was always helpful, gave good advice (for those who listened). His encouragement to get to the top of the steps in Petra for the whole group was more than the other guide Amir did. We came with us to make sure we all reached there safely and stayed with the last one in the group to assist when necessary (very much appreciated). There was no rushing and the information given was just to the right level. I enjoyed hearing his stories on the bus and then exploring the sites. My magical moment was in the desert Wadi Rum and sleeping under the stars followed by the camel ride the next day which was hypnotic. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Take me back to the desert please. Rainbow camp was such fun. Please pass on my sincere thanks to Ogla for making our trip so special I wish him all the best in the future.

Great holiday, the tour included all the best parts of Jordan. Not a camping person so one day in the camp would have been sufficient.

Superb tour which gives a brief insight into many different areas of Jordan. Amer is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide who sincerely wants people to enjoy their tour and gain information about his country. He went out of his way to ensure that we had all that we needed. I could not have asked for a more helpful and informative guide to this country.

Ogla was great as a tour guide, I know I can be a pain wanting to do things and requiring help but he was great about it. The hotels used were nice and clean, although I did get stuck in the pool at Petra Moon as the ladders don't go down far enough I did get myself out after a while. Food can't be faulted, cooking at Petra Kitchen was an experience more should do. The entertainment at the Rainbow camp was very interesting watching the guy point out which star was what and then the next night the musician and dancing was a great treat. We enjoyed it so much that we are considering going back next year !!! So tell Ogla to watch out for the full moon she may be back earlier than he expected he'll know what I mean.

Ogla was an amazing guide. He made Jordan come alive for me in the way he told us the history of the sites we visited, he made each day fun. I really struggled getting to the top of the "steps" at Petra, but he encouraged me all the way, coming back more than once to check how I was getting on. Ogla worked very hard to ensure we were a group and everyone was happy. I loved Wadi Rum - Rainbow camp was so friendly and I would go back just for the camel ride!! Had a brilliant time and would do it again. Am currently trying to persuade everyone at work to take a trip to Jordan! Thank you On the Go, and Ogla.

Just returned from yet another fantastic trip with On The Go and a mere thank you just doesn't seem enough! Jordan was amazing and our tour guide Ogla made the trip even more enjoyable! He was clearly very knowledgeable, passionate about his country, it's history and ensured the group had a wonderful time. He managed the variety of ages (within the group) with ease, humour and lots of banter to ensure no-one was left out whilst always remaining professional. Wadi Rum in particular has stolen my heart - I'm already planning my return! Shukran!

We had a wonderful tour of Jordan. Our guide, Hameed, is a true ambassador for the country and is very knowledgeable and open to sharing, often saying “that is a really good question”, he answered all the questions that came to him and was thorough in his explanations. He was challenged with this tour as there were individuals that were not up to the physical demands of this tour and so in many cases he was operating two tours in order to keep everyone happy. This is a true testament to his acumen as a guide. I believe that On the go should look at screening of Participants to ensure that there is clarity around the physical demands. The last few days of the tour are really packed with activity, whereas the front end is a bit slower- that is the set up of the tour- would recommend perhaps tightening up the first few days to give more time to the back half activities. We did choose this tour for the meteor showers and were disappointed that there wasn’t much in the way of meteor activity. I would say that was the biggest draw to the tour and therefore the biggest disappointment. This was a great overall tour of Jordan, and all those we came in contact with as a part of this tour were lovely and hospitable. Our guide is a great asset to On the go and hopefully that will be shared with him. Thank you Hameed and all the On the go staff we interacted with on this tour.
