Awad was an excellent choice for our one day crash tour of Petra. Prior to the trip, he was the only one to consistently and promptly respond to all of our questions. On the day of the trip, he met us promptly. He was friendly, helpful, and informative all the way. He made it a great experience and all that we asked for. We are glad that we asked to upgrade to an a/c van rather than a car for 4, since it's a long trip. Our only disappointment was that he didn't tell us in advance that we'd have to leave Petra by 3 due to renting the van and we would have stayed longer. Even so, we were exhausted and it was a great day, but if you are in that situation, be sure to clarify in advance. Otherwise we highly recommend Awad and thank him for the wonderful experience.

This was my first holiday with Explore.  I was travelling with a group of 7 other, most of whom had never met before.  Awad was our guide and made our tour a fantastic experience.  He has a great knowledge of the country, it's history and people and answered all of our questions with good humour and patience.  I genuinely feel that I have a much better understanding of the people of Jordan thanks to his openness and honesty.

I travelled to Jordan in early October and was blessed to have Awad as our tour guide.  He is very educated in his country, the history, the modern history, the culture and the many types of interests we tourists have.  I would recommend him to anyone wishing to travel to this amazing country.  His patience seemed endless and his interest in us was genuine.  His love of Jordan shines thru and thru as he shares so much history and interesting stories. 1000 thank you's Awad.
