The experience was overall amazing. Samir was very helpful with the planning, even when we had quite particular requirements and were changing the plans before committing. He was always super helpful and responsive, happily adapting to our ideas and requests. This took a lot of stress away from us.
The service was great, starting with the visa support in the airport and throughout the trip. Our main driver Khaled (with us all days expect the last two) gave us great tips and was very flexible if we wanted to change route or change the plan. We had the chance to have extensive chats with him, went to dinner together but also always had our space and time for just the two of us. The hotels were all very nice and some exceeded our expectations (Aicha camp in Wadi Rum and Mövenpick in Dead Sea in particular).
We were positively surprised that our two guided tours in Jerash and Petra were private (just us 2 and the guide), we weren’t expecting it and it was a great experience.
We would totally recommend both KimKim, and namely Samir and Khaled (and have done so already). Thank you for a great trip and wonderful memories. Jordan, we will see you again!

Just coming back from our second experience with KimKim, and it just confirmed the 5-star quality service they provide (and that we were expecting based on our last trip in Vietnam)!

Platform is user-friendly and focused on customers' experience, but the key of its success is the local agencies they are working with.

For our family trip in Jordan, we were directed to Samir and Enjoy Jordan.
Very pro-active and engaging, Samir took the time to listen to our expectations and put in place the best itinerary possible so we can make the most of our Jordan tour. Open to discussion and totally transparent, Samir updated our plans numerous times (following our requests) in order to match with our requirements and budget.
Great communication all along, which definitely brings the comfort and the peace of mind we were looking for.

But there is also one very special shout out I'd like to make, for one person who made our trip so special : Nader.
From the very first second to the very last one, he went above and beyond to bring our great trip to an amazing and unforgettable experience.

THANK YOU!

Nader has all qualities you could dream of when it comes to discover a new place : knowledgeable (and the word is weak) on every single aspects of his country. He is professional and funny in the same time, he is passionate (and shares this passion) and he has one priority: you and your time in Jordan.

If you read this comment and you are preparing your upcoming trip in Jordan, I couldn't recommend strongly enough to ask for him. Should you go for main highlights or for off-beaten tracks, Nader is THE hidden gem you need to discover and enjoy this wonderful country the way you should.

I think the company needs a lot of help with the planning. The only reason why we tried this service was to see if it would be easier to plan a trip through an agency. Overall, I would go the route of hiring a driver for the stay and book everything else on your own.

Pros:

Pros:
- Our tour guide was Nadir/Samir is AMAZING! Could not say more positive things about , he really went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. Always early ready to take us anywhere. Very knowledgeable about Jordan.

Cons:
- We requested specific rooms with the agency, the contingency to book with them was to get a specific room and we booked months in advance. They promised the room and after we paid, they changed two of our hotels without any communication.

- The hotel rooms that were given to us were not the ones that was in the itinerary. When we inquired with the hotel, they said they couldn't do anything. We were not going to fight it but again lack of transparency from the agency.

- The places that were covered for food by the agency were honestly bad. You could tell the food was the same in every spot and not authentic, I wish we would get more freedom to get authentic food that was covered or we would have opted out.

- Many of the experiences included were already included with the hotel so not much that the actual agency booked on our behalf.

We had an intensive 9-day tour planned, so it was critical to get the right guide and driver. We also wanted a short time break, even if it meant having an extra long day to make up the sites missed.
We were fortunate to acquire one of the best guides in Israel, Ille, and an excellent driver in Michael. Ille spoke very good English and had an encyclopedic knowledge about everything.

We had an intensive 9-day tour planned, so it was critical to get the right guide and driver. We also wanted a short time break, even if it meant having an extra long day to make up the sites missed.
We were fortunate to acquire one of the best guides in Israel, Ille, and an excellent driver in Michael. Ille spoke very good English and had an encyclopedic knowledge about everything. He also knew everyone and was able to get us singular access to important sites, even with dense crowds and long lines. Ille is very personable and accommodating and was able to make several day-to-day adjustments to our schedule to better fit our needs. For example, we swapped out going to Haifa for traveling through Bethlehem on the way back without problem.

We were extremely impressed by Jerusalem, of course, but Masada was much different, and more dramatic, than I had pictured. Also, the vide of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv couldn’t be more different. Btw, we felt extremely safe in every sector of Old Jerusalem, even walking at night outside the walls. The same for Tel Aviv.

The American Colony Hotel

Jerusalem

This is an iconic and historical hotel. It’s very pricy but this was our last big splurge., The garden grounds alone are worth a stay. The staff are absolutely first rate and very attentive and helpful. The large rooms are magnificent. Ours had a balcony overlooking a peaceful courtyard. Each night chocolates were delivered. The included breakfast is so massive, with at least fifty stations of all sorts of freshly prepared items, that there was no way to taste them all. There is also a lovely indoor garden restaurant. The American Colony hotel is located within easy walking or taxi distance of the Damascus Gate. There are also many good restaurants in the area.

This is our first trip with KimKim and it's close to no-hassle but we did underwent a couple of issues with the booking and mis-alignment in pricing. Prior to contacting an agency, the group is fully aware that the month of April is peak season, hench, why we reached out to KimKim early (in advance) to ensure we get the Panoramic Tent we wanted in Wadi Rum. Despite of reiterating multiple times, unfortunately, the local tour agency still did not secure a spot. It is disappointing especially after having repeated it multiple times over email of how crucial it is for the group. The second mishap was with regarding to pricing. The initial request was for a total of 8 days (including Aqaba). 2 months leading to the tour we had changed this to 6 days (minus Aqaba). The local tour agent, did not update the pricing up until it was called out.

For as long as I can remember, I've dreamed of visiting the Middle East. My wish finally came true when my friend Leyda was invited on a Catholic pilgrimage to Israel. While Leyda was keen to visit the holy land, she didn't want to be part of a large tour group. She wanted to experience the country on her own terms. Another motivation for her trip was to visit her mother's best friend, Dorita, whom she considers her aunt. Leyda's family has been closely connected with Dorita's for over six decades, and Leyda was eager to see her again, especially since she is now 92 years old.

Knowing of my own desire to visit Israel, Leyda invited me to join her. She also suggested that we take the opportunity to see the Pyramids in Egypt while we were in the region. I was overjoyed at the prospect and readily agreed to go. However, we had limited funds for our trip and were looking for a package that would provide us with a safe, hassle-free, and affordable way to visit many of the holy, cultural, and geographic sites in the area within just 10 days. Finding such a package seemed like an insurmountable challenge.

That's when I turned to KimKim, a reputable travel agency with strong connections in the area. They put us in touch with Samir, who was able to deliver a travel package that surpassed all our expectations. Despite our demanding and specific requirements, Samir was able to provide us with an incredible travel experience that met all parameters and was one of the most amazing of my long, well-traveled life.

The journey officially began when our plane landed in Tel Aviv airport. We were met by Michael, our driver (and guide) in Israel. I put the word ‘guide’ in quotes because Michael told us he is only licensed for driving, not being a guide. He was tremendously knowledgeable, humorous, friendly, knew people everywhere we went and drove well.

We spent our one free day in Israel with Leida’s family in the Dalia Kibbutz and returned to the By 14 Hotel in Tel Aviv. The hotel was excellent, our favorite part was the fresh Mediterranean cuisine offered at breakfast.

Israel was a hotbed of religious activity on a grand scale with Western and Orthodox Christian Easters, Passover and the Holy Month of Ramadan occurring at the same time. Michael impressively negotiated the crazy maze that was Jerusalem on days when the city was partitioned to accommodate hordes of Pilgrims from several religions and scores of sects. He also explained how the city managed the chaos using zones, barriers, checkpoints and many other means of controlling the movement of people based on their intentions and ethnicities.

Our itinerary took us to additional compelling destinations that were steeped in history and a privilege to visit: Bethlehem, the Dead Sea, Qurman and Masada.,

We said good bye to Michael at the Allenby Bridge and crossed into Jordan after a relatively smooth passage through customs.

Bart (I’m not sure I remembered his name correctly) was a reassuring sight as we entered Jordan. He exuded a sense of warmth and tranquility, which immediately put us at ease. This was just the beginning of our journey in Jordan, a country that proved to be a hidden gem in the Middle East. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like honored guests, not just tourists to be milked for money at every step We found this hospitality to be the case in both Israel and Jordan.

Bart delivered us to Yazeed (not sure of the spelling) our driver. Yazeed not only took us around per the itinerary, but found more scenic, interesting routes. Thanks to him we were able to see the people and countryside of Jordan that would have been bypassed. He applied his creativity to enrich our travels and we appreciated it.

Petra, of course, was fabulous. Per Yazeed’s suggestion, we saw the site at night. That was a nice adventure. We toured Petra for a full day with Ied, our guide. He is very educated and provided excellent information. We were exhausted after walking the full length of the site and Ied negotiated a camel ride. We rode two beautiful, well kept camels back to the Treasury, serving as much needed transportation, and an exhilarating experience at the same time. That night we took advantage of the Turkish Bath that was attached to our Hotel – another special experience.

Yazeed dropped us off at the Amman Airport after completing a job well done.

Henry met us at the Cairo Airport and handed us off to our driver, Sabri. We really appreciated the smooth transitions that Samir coordinated!

Egypt was challenging, not at all because of the tour itself. We found it to be chaotic, unpredictable, and the tourist-facing people to be extremely venal. This did not keep us from appreciating the greatness of this country and provided an element of adventure as well.

Due to an unexpected unavailability of a scheduled guide, we ended up with Hoda. She was the only person who dealt with us that was in any way disappointing. Her presentations on ancient Egyptology were fair, but several of recent cultural and historic facts she discussed were inaccurate. She was rude to wait staff at our lunch restaurant, telling the waiters in a haughty manner to move food away from her because the smell of it would interfere with her fast. Worst was when she had an attendant in a parking lot throw stones to chase away a street dog that was lying on the pavement not bothering anybody. Finally, she didn’t adhere to the itinerary and we missed our opportunity to see Giza. We went to a carpet factory, which was not on the schedule, that ate up valuable time, so when Giza closed early we were unable to see it. This would have been disastrous, since Giza was our reason to visit Egypt. Fortunately, we had to wait a full day to fly out at 3:15 am the following day and Sami had reserved Sabri for that time. The following day he took us to Giza, where we had a very exciting, satisfying visit to the pyramids and sphynx. We then saw much of Cairo and spent the evening exploring old Cairo.

Sabri took us to the airport where Henry met us for the departure. We were exhausted, but absolutely thrilled and grateful for the experience.

Overall, the quality of our accommodations during our trip was excellent. All were high-end, clean with great service and food. We were pleased to note that Samir pays close attention to quality and rescheduled a hotel Torino to Ambassador Hotel due to less than favorable reviews.
The Helnan Dreamland hotel in Cairo was spectacular. We spent a magical evening in the pool area in what looked like a huge Bedoin tent. A trio of musicians played authentic Egyptian music as we took in the beautiful evening.

The food everywhere was good Mediterranean fare – fresh and delicious with a broad selection.

Often, we saw large groups of tourists being corralled and gaining only encapsulated exposure to people and places. The bespoke service provided by KimKim allowed us to explore at our own pace without being stranded or scrambling because of unforeseen contingencies. We were happy to be independent, but completely taken care of at the same time.

Had an eye-opening trip to Jordan taking the Amman - Petra - Wadi Rum - Dead Sea - Amman route. Our guide and driver Khaled was splendid and we learned a lot about Jordan from him throughout the trip. He went out of his way to bring us coffee and sweet shopping.

Only feedback would be a bit more clarity to and from Israeli/Jordan border in terms of logistics and who was meeting us but I again very small glitches in fabulous experience. We recommend them heartily.

Samir and our guide and driver (Anees) provided us with the most amazing experience in Jordan we could have asked for. The entire trip was very seamless, we got everything we had expected and never felt stressed. Anees was super kind and helpful through the trip - showing us all the locations, telling us about the history, stopping by whenever we needed our coffee or hummus fixes!

It’s tough to choose a favourite in Jordan - but waking up in a bubble tent on 1st Jan 2023 and to see the vast expanse of the Wadi Rum and caravans of camels passing by is a pretty unforgettable experience! I would highly recommend Jordan and Samir!

We visited 3 countries, Egypt, Jordan and Israel. Egypt was outstanding 4.5/5. The driver was excellent and the guide although a bit quiet at times was smart and helpful. Jordan was the highlight of the trip. All visitors must go to Petra and Wadi Rum. Mind blowing to say the least. If you go you must ask for Anees to be you guide! 10 out of 10 fantastic person!

The trip fell off a bit in Israel as we were only given a driver and no guide. I don’t think a tourist should be left to navigate Old Jerusalem on his own. We did have to spend an additional $1150 on guides in Israel to get the full experience. Overall an amazing trip though. And oh yes the help we received from ambassadors at the airports in Cairo and Amman was outstanding as well!

We travelled to Jordan with great expectations and we really enjoyed every moment as we travelled through this country. People were friendly and ready to help when requested. We visited Jerash, Ajloun, Amman, Mt Nebo, Madaba, Petra, Wad Rum and Dead Sea. We were able to cover all these places due to fantastic planning by the Enjoy Jordan team and I have to mention the valuable support provided by our driver Mowafaq Ahmed.

We travelled to Jordan with great expectations and we really enjoyed every moment as we travelled through this country. People were friendly and ready to help when requested. We visited Jerash, Ajloun, Amman, Mt Nebo, Madaba, Petra, Wad Rum and Dead Sea. We were able to cover all these places due to fantastic planning by the Enjoy Jordan team and I have to mention the valuable support provided by our driver Mowafaq Ahmed. He was our guide and a good friend during the travel. He was very prompt and punctual always. He gave us valuable advise at every place we went.

Our experience with all the hotels was very good except for the one in Petra (Petra Boutique Hotel). The staff was not very helpful and did not really heed to our needs at the time of our stay there.

Overall, we had a fantastic time in Jordan.
