Kimkim Trip Reviews for Jordan

We had a great guide in Jordan. He was a true historian. Our driver was also super nice- The car was a bit tight but did not dampen our enthusiasm. We also had excellent guides in Istanbul and Cappadocia.
In retrospect our itinary was quite packed and our children were a bit tired of moving almost everyday.
Thank you for an unforgettable trip.

Decent hotel, but room was a little tired and also we had issues with toilet flushing - it did not have enough power and water so it clogged at some point.

Good hotel, but a little bit too crowded - especially at breakfast, In 2 days we were not able to get a capuchins at breakfast - we asked but they said they don’t have - for a 5 star hotel I don’t think this is acceptable. Another issue was the beach - it was not well prepared - especially the entrance in the water - based on the layout there is a lot of work which needs to be done to bring the beach at 5 star hotel level.

Petra is simply amazing. The guide was great. Not too much, but the right amount of information. Starting early in the day (7am) was key.

We had a great experience with our short but action-backed trip to Jordan planned with Samir and KimKim. The trip was tailored exactly to the itinerary that we had requested which allowed us to make the most of our time. I particularly appreciated the team’s flexibility to emphasize certain parts of the plan as well as flexibility to upgrade certain lodging options when that seemed appropriate. Our driver and guide for the week was a great resource at navigating the country and also learning lots of the local culture along the way.

Our only snag came with a booking in Wadi Rum that I believe resulted more from the eco lodge getting overbooked but made for a slight deviation of plan.

Overall incredible experience and look forward to using the team again in the future.

Where do I even begin? My travel advisor was very helpful and patient with all my questions and helped me organize my trip. Once we landed we were greeted by our guide and they made everything so easy and truly felt like a VIP. We arrived in Cairo and our driver and guide were amazing and fun. Khaled and our driver Ha were the best. We had a busy itinerary and all our transfers and guides were helpful. The only thing we would not advise is the sleeping train to Luxor from Cairo, not the company's fault, but it was something I thought would be fun but was very tiny. Everything else was a breeze. Our last driver in Jordan Mohammad was a star and very cool and made us feel so comfortale.

Memorable:
Cairo Pyramids - we stayed at Marriott. Loved it
Luxor Temples - amazing at night
Abu Simbel was remarkable - WOW! We had it all to ourselves and the drive there was an experience.
Jordan was cool and loved the music
Petra was a dream come true and is a full day and ALOT of walking.
Wadi Rum was my fav and fun. We stayed at UFO Luxotel and did 4x4 jeeps in Wadi Rum
Dead Sea was fun.

This was my first time using KimKim or any travel booking service; we are generally very independent travelers and I usually book everything myself. But with very little time to plan this trip, I turned to KimKim for help with our trip to Jordan, and we could not be happier.
Nada was fantastic in walking me through the itinerary, providing options based on my preferences, and keeping in close communication.
The trip itself was seamless and we were very happy with all of our activities, guides, and accommodations. Our driver Akram was especially wonderful; he became a friend by the end of our five day trip.
I highly recommend KimKim for the busy independent traveler, and Nada for planning a fantastic trip to Jordan.

Loved working with Samir, he organized the trip in less than 2 days and was always responsive.
Our local private drive also delivered an outstanding service and made our vacation unforgettable. Strongly recommend!

Jordan is an amazing country. Our guide, Akram, was the perfect person to show us the country. He was pleasant, knowledgeable, accommodating and the nicest most gentle man. I would definitely recommend him and Kimkim. Our favorite sites were Petra, Bethany beyond Jordan, the Castles, Mt Nebo, and the Dead Sea. Jordan is a Holy place that makes the Bible come to life. Being able to see the countryside with Akram was an awesome experience. We already miss him.

I contacted KimKim late March 2023 regarding a dream trip we had hoped to take in 2020. We basically had to start planning from scratch. And, we just found we needed to go in May in order for this work with our son's internship. For a family who plans far in advance, we didn't if this was even possible. I heard of KimKim and thought I'd try.

They contacted me right away and put me in touch with Samir who also contacted me right away. There was never a time when I had to wait on Samir. Any time I had a question, there would be a response back from him the next day. Samir was also very knowledgeable of the area, culture (providing advice/recommendation upon request regarding clothing, tipping, etc.) , and political climate/safety issues. THANK YOU SAMIR!! I should also know that ALL the tours arranged and guides were PERFECT!!

This place is one of (if not the) most architecturally beautiful buildings in East Jerusalem. It is also conveniently located close to the Old City, great dining locations, and tour group meeting spots. The rooms were simple, but more than adequate. The breakfast each morning was one of the better ones we had.

We picked this place because the website implied they had self-service laundry. They don't - this service stopped because of COVID so we had to find a place, but that worked out fine.

Amazing hotel; location secluded - that is either a pro or negative depending on your style.

Just know that you will not be in the main town of Petra where you can walk around, etc., but the property itself is beautiful. Great for one night, but if I were staying there 2 nights I would be bored unless I booked a spa package at night.

Amazing hotel. My only regret is that we were there only one night. This is a place where you want to spend more time and have a hotel day. Next time!

Allow yourself some time at the hotel, but also allow yourself time to walk around the town- see you do need at least a weekend.

My guess is both were part of the equation. So thankful we didn't hike up but paid for the ride. We skipped Qumran. We were too tired and just wanted to get to Jerusalem.

He really made the experience what it was and took it to the next level. He made me feel safe and had awesome recommendations and guidance to provide. Samir helped plan the trip efficiently, stayed in contact and was readily available when needed. I would recommend Samir and Ahmed to anyone planning to make a trip to Jordan! Must haves.

Samir was absolutely wonderful to work with in planning our trip to Jordan. He was extremely responsive and answered all of my questions and requests for changes quickly and kindly. While we were on the trip he responded to a few minor questions/concerns we had quickly to ensure our holiday was amazing. We had an amazing vacation thanks to Samir and those wonderful tourism professionals he aligned us with! Thank you!

I recently did a five-day trip to Jordan as part of a group of four people with Nader as our driver. The trip was a great success due in no small way to having Nader as our driver and guide.

We were met promptly at the airport in Amman and all paperwork was completed without complication. From our first meeting, and throughout the entire trip, Nader was well informed and forthcoming on the history, geography, the general political landscape of the Middle East and current societal norms in Jordan. We felt immediately welcome and safe with Nader.

Our vehicle was comfortable, drinks were always available and Nader went out of his way to make sure that we tasted the best snacks and food that Jordan has to offer.

Checking in to each night’s accommodation was seamless due to Nader’s attention to every detail. He was there each morning waiting for us, and did not leave at night until we were fully settled in, and plans for the next day were clarified.

Nader’s warmth, sense of fun and desire to please added an extra layer to the trip which we, as a family group, really appreciated. Our memories are so much more than the amazing places that we visited because of Nader’s contribution. I would highly recommend Nader as a driver/guide and I thank him for making our holiday the wonderful success that it was.

I also thank the Samir and the tour company. Samir proposed an excellent itinerary, which covered all the sites we wanted to see, and was flexible in accommodating any requests for changes.

My friend and I spent a week in Jordan and it was phenomenal.
Nada was great and accommodating given there were some unexpected issues that arose. All of our needs were met and the itinerary exceed expectations. We found that it was a smooth experience booking via Kimkim. Jordan is such a beautiful country with a beautiful culture and I highly recommend the trip.
I would also like to give a special thanks to our driver Emad Fraihat who was great throughout the whole trip. He ensured we were well-taken care of and we were safe and adjusted to our needs as the trip progressed.
In addition, he showed us the perfect places to eat, helped us to connect with the locals and local culture and taught us so much about Jordan. I would highly recommend Emad without a doubt.
Overall an excellent trip and a great experience.

On this trip, my wife and I visited Amman (of course) Jerash, the Dead Sea, Petra, Wadi Rum and Aqaba.

Overall, we really enjoyed the trip, the organization of it by the local specialist, Samir, and the driving and company of Majd, our main driver throughout the trip.

Every place was amazing so it is difficult to say which was best. For sure, Wadi Rum is unlike any other place we have seen. Roman ruins are not unique to Jordan, but Wadi Rum is. Petra was also a fascinating place.

Interacting with Jordanians was wonderful. They are so kind, helpful and welcoming. We were asked multiple times per day, by many people, whether we liked Jordan.

It was also interesting to see the range of hand-made goods for sale, from woven Bedouin cloth and handmade knives to the mosaic work.

Hilton Dead Sea Resort & Spa

Fantastic location by the edge of the Dead Sea. We did not go for the resort experience but, rather, to spend some time in and beside the Dead Sea. The hotel had multiple options for eating as well as room service, of course. We upgraded our room to one which had a balcony overlooking the Sea which made our evening at the hotel that much more pleasant.

Tips for future travelers

Nice car and we had such a wonderful driver called Ahmed who looked after us well. I would highly recommend him again. He is a very kind and professional person, helpful, caring, friendly and looked after us during the whole trip. Refreshment drinks were filled up every day and he is very knowledgeable about Jordan culture. It was a real pleasure traveling with him and made it a special experience.

I strongly recommend using KimKim for your Jordan tour. We have just returned from a 10 day tour , tailored made to include all of our wishes. Nada , the local specialist assisted us through several changes of plans and rescheduled trips due to pandemic, also answered all of our concerns pre departure. Our driver/ guide was exceptional, Emad Fraihat was good company, extremely informative but more than that , he was kind and thoughtful and did everything possible to enhance our trip. I recommend all the places visited Amman, Jerash, of course Petra, Wadi Rum, Aqaba and finally the Dead Sea. Please give yourselves enough time at Petra, it is an amazing place.
No complaints regarding the accommodations en route. The food was good , we are not meat eaters but we could always find fish or veggie dishes. Wine was good too , when available.
Jordan is one of the most interesting and varied country to visit. With THE most hospitable and kindest people you will ever meet. Thank you to Nada and Emad for such a wonderful trip.

Samir was great to work with, and both knowledgeable and patient in helping put together an ideal itinerary within my time frame and budget. It made for a well organized and a perfectly paced trip across the major sites across Jordan. Will recommend him to Friends & Family!

The tour that Samir put together for our family of four (parents and two kids 9 and 11) was fabulous. Samir was very responsive when we had to change our travel dates because of flight changes. We spent a glorious 8 days touring Jordan with our amazing driver Nader (Nick). Nader is kind, generous and very knowledgeable about Jordan. Nader recommended we extend our jeep tour of Wadi Rum to a full day. It was the best decision, the desert is beautiful and my kids loved every moment of it. If I had more time I would spend two days in Wadi Rum taking a jeep ride. Also, if I had more time, I would have spent two full days in Petra as opposed to the one day we had. Petra is just too big to properly see in one day. Overall, this was a memorable trip for all of us.
