By comfortable, guided cars, microbus, minibus or motorcoach. While he best available
air-conditioned vehicles have been contracted for all tours, during summer seasons,
certain areas in Jordan and Egypt may experience extremely high temperatures, limiting
the air-conditioning capabilities of utilized vehicles. There are no refunds if
such circumstance arises, which is beyond the control of the Tour Operator. Private
car tours utilize a variety of late model vehicles in accordance with the standards
within each destination, subject to availability.
Some tours are based on minimum group size. In the event a tour must be cancelled
for lack of participation, you will be advised at least 30 days prior to departure.
Please Note: During certain seasons tours may operate with fewer
passengers than what would normally constitute a "group." While many passengers
consider this is a definite advantage, there are others who do prefer to travel
in larger groups. We will be happy to advise you of the approximate number of passengers
booked on your tour, if you contact us 30 days in advance of your departure. However,
please bear in mind that often the passenger count may fluctuate up until arrival
date in the destination.
Jordan
Tours in Jordan are operated by private cars, microbus or minibus with driver. Local
guides are used at specified sites per itinerary. With minimum 4 passengers, sightseeing
includes services of private guides. Petra option on the "Best of Eilat"
program utilizes standard, locally scheduled touring with English-speaking guide.
The "Wonders of Jordan" program as well as Elite Jordan and Eilat utilize
a guide throughout the tour, (minimum 2 passengers).
Sequence of Tour Programs
During periods of conventions, congresses, holidays, special events and any unforeseen
circumstances, the Tour Operator may have to make last-minute changes (subsequent
to issuance of "final itinerary") in the sequence of the tour. Tours operating
during holiday periods may have changes in hotels, sightseeing, city sequences and/or
inclusions.
