our tour was nothing short of incredible! From the very first moment I booked through their website, I felt a sense of anticipation. The process was smooth, and the interface was user-friendly, making the planning part an absolute breeze. On the day of the tour, we were greeted by our friendly guide, who greeted us with a warm smile and a wealth of knowledge about the rich history of the regions we were about to explore. As we drove towards Umm Qais, the scenic views alone were worth the trip—rolling hills and ancient ruins dotted the landscape, setting the perfect backdrop for our adventures. Umm Qais was a breathtaking treasure trove of history. Walking among the ruins of the ancient Greco-Roman city, I was awed by the stunning views of the Golan Heights and the surrounding landscapes. The amphitheater took my breath away. After a delightful lunch at a local restaurant, which our guide recommended, we headed to Pella. The further we ventured, the more my excitement grew. Pella’s charm and archaeological significance were impressive—I found myself lost in the stories of ancient civilizations echoing through the stones. The intricate mosaics and the remnants of temples painted a picture of life long lost, yet inviting to all who walked there. What truly set this tour apart was how engaging and passionate our guide was about the sites we visited. His anecdotes and insights made every monument come alive with a story. He happily answered any questions and highlighted hidden gems that I never would have noticed on my own. Overall, my experience with Map Travel exceeded my expectations. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for their country made this tour not just a visit to archaeological sites, but an engaging exploration of Jordan's rich heritage. I highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure steeped in history!

The guide was clearly passionate about Jordan's history and shared his knowledge enthusiastically. We felt the tour offered excellent value for the price.
