Would you prefer the fun
and adventure of making new friends while you're exploring Jordan? Reserve a
place on one of our guaranteed-departure touring programs. We've designed these
programs with plenty of possibilities for adding special 3-night options to
customize the tour. If you book at least 30 days in advance, we'll guarantee
you a place immediately. If you sign up within 30 days of the tour start date,
we will do our best to add your name to the list of participants, and confirm
your space as quickly as possible. Since we want to make sure that your touring
companions are like-minded travelers with similar interests, participants should
all be adults. (A child-like sense of wonder, however, is more than welcome!)
Shop around--you'll
discover that our group tours are packed with special features you won't find
included in other programs. We know that Jordan is a once-in-a-lifetime
experience for many travelers, so we think you should have the chance to see, do
and try as many "custom" features as possible, without having to reach for your
wallet every time an 'optional extra' is mentioned. By including these special
treats up front, we've also made it easier for you to budget for your trip.
All our group tours are accompanied by
an experienced licensed Jordanian tour guide. Except during
arrival/departure transfers, you'll be seeing the country with a seasoned
professional whose knowledge goes beyond the archaeological sites themselves to
embrace Jordan's rich multi-faceted cultures and traditions. The
difference between an "escorted' tour and a "guided" tour goes beyond
semantics--it is one more way we can add depth and richness to your visit.
We think you should have
plenty of choices in finding the group tour that's right for you. Follow the
links below to check out detailed itineraries, departure dates and prices for
the following programs--guaranteed!
