Postcards from Jordan

Hi, Just wanted to write further feedback for the tour that i went on in May, I didn't write much on the feedback form as i was running out of time.

Just wanted to thank you for a great 4 days in Jordan, i can't believe how much fun it was. Everything was really well organised and Okla was great (considering we annoyed him with so many questions, especially about the 4 wives!)

Once again thanks for a great trip!

Every minute of Jordan was brilliant - beyond my expectations

Thanks to the On the Go team, Egypt - especially - was a truly amazing, wonderful and most memorable experience (suppose you can glean that from all the adjectives!) - the trip of a lifetime, which exceeded all my expectations. Jordan was also a nice experience - yet again: thanks to On the Go.

Thanks again for the truly outstanding and remarkable holiday experience and the perfect organization. I will, without hesitation, recommend your tour-group and am considering Turkey next, although I will definitely in the near future visit Egypt - - - again!!

Everything was tightly organized. Overall this has been a memorable trip

Sharon,

I would just like to reinforce the positive comments I made in regard to the Egyptian guides. They were extremely professional and went out of their way to make our trip memorable.

Even though "on the go tours" is not responsible for lost luggage, the tour leaders made great efforts to get MY lost luggage back to me. ( Since I didn't speak the language, and we were constantly on the go, there was little chance of me doing the follow up on my own - I greatly appreciated their work on my behalf. )

On my last day in Cairo, I forgot my coat in the hotel restaurant - early mornings are not my best time. When Samo Hossam ( who was in charge of taking us to the airport ) was informed of this he made a phone call and before I went through passport control, he gave me my coat. I was quite impressed by this level of care.

I later talked to others who had been on tours to Egypt ( not with "on the go" ) and they said they were just dropped off at the airport and left to fend for themselves. Your tour went the extra mile and walked us all the way through - it was much appreciated.

I will definitely consider taking one of your tours again and will recommend the company the others.

I would also like to commend Janet for all her hard work in getting our trip off the ground - she really picked up the slack from Ryan.

Many thanks,

I am not sure what I expected from Jordan - but it was more than I could have ever dreamed of !! The people are amazing, the scenery - Jameel (beautiful) and the experience will leave me with memories to last a lifetime!! Ogla our little mountain rocket - you were excellent.

I was on the 28 Dec departure of New Year in Wadi Rum. I wasn't able to complete a tour evaluation form so am taking this opportunity to give feedback.

All of us very much appreciated the upgrade to the Crown Plaza Resort at Petra. The Petra tour was very good, as was the Dead Sea. We had to ask for an hour's shopping time in Aqaba as it had not been scheduled, hence we were rushed getting to Mt Nebo and only just were allowed in as arrived right on closing at 4.30, and sun had set unfortunately.

The Toledo Hotel was excellent.

I was disappointed that the Mosaic City Hotel in Madaba did not have a room in which I could smoke, as this was requested when I booked. I had to use an outdoor balcony in extremely cold weather as the whole hotel is non-smoking.

I was very grateful for your help on arrival at Amman airport and
being put in the hands of Hassan for drive to hotel. He was a very friendly person and also did my transfer from Madaba back to Amman as well as other private shopping trips and transport to the border.

I appreciated being allowed to charge all tour expenses up until the end, due to my losing my wallet and credit cards in a taxi in Amman and having to wait for emergency card & cash. Fortunately, the Toledo Hotel Manager loaned me sufficient cash to meet my tour expenses. The Toledo was, as the Manager, Mr Hakam, said, my home away from home and I would have been far more stressed had I not had them to help me out. I can't speak highly enough of all their staff.

Finally, I must commend our tour guide, Raed, who was a lovely person. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He was very knowledgeable and interesting and was also very supportive to me in my distress at my loss.

We just got back to the UK today after a really brilliant trip in Jordan. Thank you so much for all your help in suggesting itineraries and shaping the tour with me.

Petra with the kids was fine after all as they were happy to walk down the Siq and went for the donkey back one day and the camel another day. We also made it to the gladiator and roman show in Jerash as well which was really good and I would suggest that anyone with kids makes time for that too.

Rasha, our guide for Jerash and Petra, was also a real find. It was definitely different to have one of the only female guides on the circuit - she really looked after us and flexed her style to the three generations really well.

Thanks again.
