“Nizar, our tour guide. What a character, what a dude, what a king. He knew every angle for the best pictures any time of the day, was inclusive, hysterical, and an all-around good time. I went into this trip open to the possibilities, and I never thought he could give me such a fruitful vision of Jordan’s past, present, and future. He was fascinating, he was entertaining, he was knowledgable, and he taught us with facts rather than opinions. Nizar – highly recommended! You guys killed it with this tour. Loved every second of it. And by the way, I never write reviews about anything, but this trip was 100% worth it.” – Rebecca Z, Israel
