Professional Driver Services in Jordan

Our transportation services go beyond simply moving you from one place to another. Our drivers are professional, courteous, punctual, and committed to making your trip comfortable and efficient.

  • English-Speaking Drivers: Our drivers can communicate in English and assist you throughout your journey.
  • Multilingual Drivers Upon Request: Drivers speaking Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Russian may be arranged upon request and subject to availability.

JHT Driver Service Guidelines

When you book with Jordan Horizons Tours, an English-speaking driver will accompany you whenever your itinerary includes transfers or touring by vehicle. However, it is important to understand the role of the driver:

  • Drivers are not licensed tour guides. They transport you between destinations but do not enter sites with you.
  • Local guides are available at important tourist sites such as Petra and Jerash, and their services are included in many of our packages.
  • In Wadi Rum, local Bedouin drivers and guides accompany guests during jeep tours and desert experiences.
  • Drivers may offer practical local suggestions, such as restaurant recommendations or route advice, but their main responsibility is transportation according to your confirmed itinerary.

Mandatory Local Guides at Key Tourist Sites

At major attractions such as Petra, Jerash, and the Amman City Tour sites, local guides are mandatory according to site and visitor center regulations. These guides provide valuable explanations about the history, culture, and significance of each location, helping visitors gain a deeper understanding of the sites.

The cost of local guides at these locations is included in our tour quotations whenever applicable.

Licensed Guides for Groups of Seven or More

For groups of 7 or more travelers in one vehicle, Jordanian tourism regulations require a licensed guide to accompany the group throughout the journey. The guide will welcome the group upon arrival in Jordan, assist with trip coordination, and remain with the group until departure.

The guide is also responsible for handling group-related travel documentation, including visa manifests where applicable.

In some cases, group tours may also be accompanied by security or police coordination according to local regulations and operational requirements.

Do Independent Travelers and Small Private Groups Need a Guide?

Travelers in smaller private groups of 6 or fewer often ask whether they should hire a guide or travel more independently. Jordan works well for both styles of travel, and the right choice depends on your preferences, budget, and travel goals.

Benefits of Hiring a Guide

  1. Local Expertise: Guides provide valuable insights into Jordan’s history, culture, traditions, and daily life.
  2. Language Assistance: A guide can help facilitate smoother communication and enhance interactions with local communities.
  3. Better Logistics: Guides help manage the day-to-day details of travel, especially across multiple destinations.
  4. Comfort and Support: In more remote areas such as Wadi Rum or long touring days, having a guide can make the experience easier and more enriching.

Advantages of Traveling Independently

  1. Flexibility: Independent travel allows you to move at your own pace and adapt your plans more freely.
  2. Cost Control: Traveling without a full-time guide may help reduce overall travel costs.
  3. Personal Exploration: Some travelers enjoy discovering places more independently and creating their own style of experience.

A Balanced Approach

Many travelers prefer a combination of both options. For example, you may choose a full-time driver for transportation, local guides at important sites such as Petra or Jerash, and more flexible independent time in smaller towns or leisure destinations.
