We wanted to see one of the Wonders of the World, Petra, but knew we needed a guide because we've never been to Jordan before. We hired Ismail because we saw that he was highly recommended. He communicated with us before the trip and made us feel comfortable that we would have a good trip. He picked us up at the airport and we were off to Wadi Musa as planned. He explained things to us very well the whole trip. When we toured Petra, he made sure that we saw all the essential areas. He has a good sense of humor and liked surprising us with the iconic views. I could tell that Ismail is well known in the community and well respected. I definitely can recommend him to anyone touring in this area. He added so much to our experience.

Being guided through Petra’s wondrous sights by Ismail was a unique experience. His knowledge and generosity of spirit added so much to the day. I recommend him highly.

We met Ismail a day before the tour, and he was so welcoming to explain us many details about options in Petra. He suggested starting early for a better experience, and that was truely perfect. The city wasn't crowded and the light over the place was amazing.
Ismail wasn't only a story teller, but more of a host that takes care about every single step during the tour. We spent around 6 hours exploring, and barely was enough to see beautiful Petra.
If you are travelling to Jordan, your Petra has to be with him. Thank you for everything Ismail!

Today we visited Petra and the experience could not have been so magical and impressive without Ismail as our tour guide. Starting from the back door on our way to the Monastery (we would recommend taking the back door entrance), he told us all the stories about the civilization of the Nabataeans in Petra back in the days, making sure to tell and also show us all the little details that you would easily miss visiting Petra on your own.

Book a tour with Ismail if you want a day to remember! Not only by the impressive Petra itself, but even more due to all the stories and extra details Ismail gives you!

We would highly recommend!

Where to begin, Ismael was an outstanding tour guide ! My wife and I have previously done private tours with guides in other cities (Istanbul and Athens), so we have some experience spending a day with a tour guide. Ismael was simply amazing the best. He catered the tour (6 hours) to our interests, was incredibly knowledgeable about Petra, and navigated us through the most amazing journey from the Treasury to the Monastery. Petra was amazingly empty during our time here and Ismael helped us take advantage of the lack of crowds. Beyond explaining the rich and mysterious history of Petra, he has old photos and videos to show how it has changed over time and how natural disasters affect it.

Before choosing Ismael I read his overwhelmingly positive reviews and the the odd negative ones (they are either not about him or about a negative experience a visitor had here… although I’m not sure
How one could not be blown away by Petra).

My wife and I had a great day with Ismael as our guide.

The tour with Ismail was amazing, due to work, my parents and me had a very short time to visit Petra. Few minutes after book the tour. Ismail contacted me to costume our tour based on our necessities. He did an excellent job. My parents and me agreed that with Ismail our visit to Petra have been different than if we had came by our own.

Being an advert traveller who rarely writes reviews (cos I’m lazy), for me to take the time and effort to pen down a review, the guide is either SUPERB or extremely terrible; and Ismail is one of the best guides I have ever had 💕
His in-depth knowledge, extensive experience, compassion, understanding and generosity is beyond this world.
From all the smallest details and the biggest picture, he takes care of every thing.
Had the best tour in Jordan and I would definitely recommend him to everyone who needs a guide there. Oh did I also mention he knows the best spots for photo-taking.
I would also like to commend our driver Mohamed who was super patient and helpful.
Thank you for making our trip so memorable

We landed in Jordan quite late at night and Ismail still came and meet up with us even though it was for a short 10 minutes to introduce himself. I think that was a very nice gesture, he could have sent the driver and meet us up the next day. Throughout our tour in Jordan and Petra, Ismail is super friendly, humorous too and a very sincere person. He also knows where to take nice pictures and helps us to take them too. When we were at the treasury, he also shares with us how that place looks like when it was raining etc (showed us pics in his mobile). Overall it was a very pleasant tour and I think having a good guide is also very important. Highly recommend to get Ismail as your guide if you want to have a nice time !
