Kimkim Trip Reviews for Jordan

Lena was amazing at helping us to plan a trip that perfectly fit our family's needs and budget. A fabulous trip to Jordan with so much diversity. We will recommend to our family and friends.

My wife, son, and I spent five great days touring in Jordan. The sites we saw were spectacular, from the Roman ruins in Jerash, the Citadel in Amman, Mt Nebo, Karrick Castle, Petra, Wadi Rum with its massive sandstone rocks, to a mud bath and float in the Dead Sea. Spectacular sites and great memories. The hike to the Monastery in Perta was a great day! My leftover chicken from My Mom's Recipe restaurant was the perfect treat at the top!

The accommodations organized by KimKim were very comfortable, including the glamping in Wadi Rum.

Special thanks to Raisa for organizing our route and hotels etc. She was very responsive to all our questions and put together a perfect itinerary for the time we had available.

We also want to thank our guide Mahmoud--what a friendly guy. Came to us every morning with a huge smile. He certainly knew his Jordan history and was able to give us details and answer questions about the various sites we visited.

And our driver was great too. Haithim (spelling?) was safe and speedy. He too, came everyday with a big smile.

Well done by the KimKim team.

Everything went according to plan!

Thank you for making our trip to Jordan seamless and enjoyable. All the local guides/ drivers were so friendly and wonderful. Shout out to Hassan, the main driver who met us at the airport until he dropped us off in Petra.

Although I know I paid a little more for this trip booking through a travel agency (rather than booking everything myself), it certainly saved me time that I did not have to spend planning. Would highly recommend for Jordan.

Our experience with KimKim was outstanding! This was our first time using KimKim and we will definitely use them again! Amanda - who helped us set up the trip - was a wealth of information, and patience! And her follow through was unsurpassed, including checking in with us several times during the trip. Akram - our driver - was outstanding! His love of Jordan came through everyday and we learned a ton from him, including the history, culture and politics of Jordan and the surrounding countries. We were lucky to have both of them involved in our trip!

All of the guides were incredibly accomodating and lovely. Hasan in particular was delightful. It would have been nice if a bit more commentary was volunteered. The site where we stayed in the desert or Wadi Rum could have had slightly cleaner bathrooms, but it was generally wonderful and a glimpse into an entirely different world.

Amanda was great and our driver, Midhat, was also great and very patient.

Lena is an amazing trip organiser!

We worked closely together to create the perfect 3 day tour beginning in Amman and finishing in Aqaba. Lena is an amazing communicator and made sure all of our requests were met.
After I stuffed up some of the dates, Lena was quick to re-book everything smoothly without too many excess costs - seriously amazing!
We had a fantastic time in Jordan thanks to Lena and the convenience of Kim Kim personalized tours.
Great value, great service... I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Had a great trip, everything from planning, preparation and changes during the trip worked very well. We had a great driver who had a pleasant driving style and provided us with a lot of background info about Jordan.

I had a great time in Jordan. The driver's personalities were great and love what they do. I can't say that what we got was different than what another tour company could have provided though. I booked my own hotels so it was essentially boiled down to a car service. Sarah was incredibly responsive. The drivers were on time 100% of the time. It would have been nice to have a SIM card provided like my Egypt tour gave. Or provided A Jordanian delicacy on arrival as a welcome gift. Or something more to make it stand out. But everything went swimmingly from the transfers and planning.

Highly professional and extremely organized company. Tamara arranged a seamless 5 day trip with very short notice (last minute trip) and accommodated all my requests. I spent one night in Amman, a day in Jarash/Madaba/Mt Nebo, a day in Petra, and my final day visiting a crusader castle in Karak. My driver Mohamed Ali Hilalat was exceptional. He went out of his way to make sure my stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Always on time, a great conversationalist with a wealth of knowledge about the history, geography and culture of the region. Mohamed is a live embodiment of the famous Jordanian hospitality and kindness. Jordan is full of beautiful natural hiking trails, inter-twined with historically significant areas and natural reserves. If you’re interested in an authentic Jordanian experience and not just a cookie-cutter tourist attractions trip, Mohamed is your man. Went on a “backdoor” trail to see Petra and my Bedouin guide Mua’az did a phenomenal job showing me “off the beaten path” areas that made Petra more mesmerizing.
It’s obvious that this company’s owner takes great pride in his work and strives to show customers what’s special about Jordan.

Sarah was amazing through this whole process from beginning to end! She mentioned doing 2 extra things while visiting Petra. We had dinner with a local family which was quite nice. We also went to Petra at night. Petra during the day was amazing too. We took full advantage of both days. On the first afternoon we saw the treasury for the first time. We took pictures from a scenic overlook. Then explored a little further and would up at the high place of sacrifice. Day 2 we started super early and went to the monastery. On the way back we went to see some of those other tombs on the hill and saw a sign for a trail to go see the treasury from the highest point. This was so worth the extra couple miles of walking. On the first day, the tour of Amman and Jerash...I had no idea what to expect of the sites we would see. The biggest surprise was the Aljoun Castle. On our way to Wadi Musa our driver, Ahmad, took us to “little Petra” and joked about a surprise and it was a stop to see a boulder formation that looked like an elephant. Ahmad had snacks for us in the car along with water. That was fun. Both drivers stopped at rest areas so we could get out, use the restrooms, grab a snack, and maybe a souvenir. The short stay in Wadi Rum was great. We had a desert tour (also suggested by Sarah) that was so much fun. Our guide for this was fun with his driving and taking us on a route that gave us quiet time from other tourists at some of the stops. Mt Nebo and the Baptism site were well worth it also. For the Dead Sea day, Sarah has booked us a room at a hotel that had a private beach and that made everything so easy. This was the thing I had been looking forward to the most. I have been intrigued by the Dead Sea since I was a small child when I saw it in a book of natural wonders of the world. I know I missed a thing or two, but Jordan, our drivers, the locals, and the sites we saw all exceeded our expectations. This was an absolutely amazing experience!!

Easy to navigate and packed with highlights. Sarah and my driver Hasan were awesome :)

Overall experiente was fine; both Amanha and the driver (unfortunatelly I forgot his name) were always helpful. Hotels were also good most of the time, though I've experienced a major disappointment with Memories Aicha Luxury Camp: how do they put a panoramic tent in the middle of the camp facing others and killing privacy? The whole experience there was almost useless.

Another issue was the store I was brought to buy souvenirs next to Mount Nebo (the usual touristic shop who happens to be "friends" with guides) where I bought this mosaic for FIVE TIMES the price I happened to find a few minutes later in another place (not sure if it is the exact same thing but it seemed quite similar).

Jordan is a beautiful and expensive country. Not sure if I would ever visit again but I've enjoyed it.

Carmen organised our trip and took into consideration the amount of activities we wanted to do and managed to arrange the perfect itinerary. She was easy to communicate with and get a hold of whenever we had any queries. The mobile app with all the information provided exceeded my expectations and really made a difference as I was able to keep track of the trips itinerary with the added bonus of extra info on Jordan e.g. tipping etc which was really useful to have. Our drivers throughout were safe which I was really pleased about, we felt comfortable with them and appreciate their professionalism throughout.

We feel our money was well spent and we would definitely recommend Carmen and her team.

The only downside is that we wish we would have more time in Jordan 🇯🇴

Thank you for your wonderful and professional service

We arranged a five day, four night trip to Jordan. We saw the Dead Sea, Little Petra, Petra for a full day, Mt. Nebo, Kerak, Madaba, and a half day in Jerash before returning to the airport. Our driver, Badr, was incredible. He was very flexible with leave times and helped to tweak times at the destinations if needed. He was prompt and extremely courteous. The hotels Carmen had booked were perfect for the trip. Carmen was also prompt with responses and easily walked us through all of the details of the trip. If I had an email question, she was always there with an answer. I would highly recommend using Kimkim to book a trip.

What a fantastic trip! Carmen put a perfect plan together for our family of four, accommodating for all that we had asked for. We had an incredible guide, Khadra, take us through Bethlehem and Jerusalem. She made the trip so much more valuable than we could have done on our own. She gave us personal stories, histories, and my kids (ages 6 and 8) loved her so very much--she was able to make it adult AND kid friendly (not an easy task). The country of Israel/Palestine is beautiful and full of rich heritages. We enjoyed terrific food at Black Pepper in Bethlehem and we also enjoyed a wonderful lunch at an Austrian joint in the Old City. The tour buses in the area were no issue for our guide as she knew her way through the cities and through the lines! We were able to see and visit all the holy sites as well as many other sites (like Banksy's paintings). We highly recommend KimKim travel and Carmen as a specialist. We were able to check this amazing experience off our bucket list and have all the pictures to remember this special place because of KimKim travel. Thank you all so much!

Hamzah my guide was super punctual and helpful.
Petra was the highlight and the whole 6 hours I spent there was tremendous
The Dead Sea was extraordinary 30% salt! Just dont get it in your eyes!
The Holiday Inn resort was well chosen
Wadi Rum spectacular - like Monument Valley but 10 times bigger!
BBG Lunch in the desert shade allowed time to reflect on my trip.

Right from the booking of the trip, the ease of visa on arrival formalities at Amman airport, the hotel suggestions and till the time we were dropped at the Jordan - Israel land border, everything was excellent and well executed.

Our driver & guide Ismail was very courteous & professional. He definitely made our trip even better.

Tamara , our local specialist made sure that everything was perfectly planned and executed well.

Great job done by Tamara, Ismail & Team Kim Kim.

We flew into Amman, and then had the long ish drive to Petra. Our driver, Midhat, was great and we didn’t ever feel unsafe, as the roads can be abit chaotic at times! In fact, we had a tyre blow out at one point, and his skilful driving, without wanting to sound dramatic, probably saved our lives as it was at speed.
He stopped at a Resturant for us to get some lunch, and then we went onto Little Petra, which was well worth the visit.
Our over night hotel was the Petra Marriott, it was nice although it was a few miles outside of Petra itself.
The next morning was an early start to meet our guide at Petra. It was very worth while having him, as his knowledge was outstanding.
We left to head to the Wadi desert and stayed at Aicha Memories luxury camp. This was lovely. There is no WiFi, and to be able to switch off from the pressures of business and day to day life was fantastic. We had a drive through the desert to see the sunset, and at night a walk into the desert to star gaze.
We left early the next day, the original plan was to go to Jerash. However, the afore mentioned tyre blow out, along with myself being ill, made us change our plans and we went into Amman. Midhat took us to the Citadel and Ampitheatre, both well worth visiting. The views from the Citadel over Amman city are very good.
We stayed at the Intercontinental hotel, and that was also very good.
We will, I’m sure, be back as this was too fleeting a visit to see it all!

Our driver Hasan was friendly, a good communicator and was always prompt at any rendezvous and gave us clear directions and meeting points. He was generous with advice and information.
Amanda our trip organiser was helpful and insightful, giving useful advice on trip creation and sights not to miss along the way.
We felt looked after from the meeting at airport arrivals to the return to departures.
