The day tour to Baptism Site and Dead Sea was the last leg of our Jordan trip. Our driver Khaled was friendly and professional. We did not have to worry about anything regarding the Baptism site guide and Dead Sea hotel check in to use the amenities. A special shout out to Khaled for also recommending a great store for buying Dead Sea souvenirs. I highly recommend taking this 6 hour tour if you are not staying overnight in Dead Sea.

No words can describe the energy felt by visiting the place where Jesus was batpized

Gustavo_G, Apr 2024

Visiting the place where Jesus was baptized has been one of the most humbling and undescribable experiences we have ever had….

Our Tour or Yours?

Robert_C, Jun 2023

Our tour was conducted by a driver not a tour guide who continually wanted us to do what he wanted to do for his own benefit The baptism site tour was conducted by a guide at the site We paid for an upgrade to the Dead Sea resort and wanted to spend some time there but were constantly feeling pressured to move on We told him on numerous occasions that we wanted to have lunch at the resort (at our cost) but all we got was we go to Amman for lunch so I had to be quite firm and say no We drove at snail’s pace to the baptism site and then to the Dead Sea which we thought was wasting our time To top the day off we had to pull up to buy Dead Sea products and be subjected to hard sell A day we really looked forward to that really didn’t meet expectations due to the drivers actions 😢

Response from Host, Jun 2023

We regret to know that your experience fell short of your expectations and for that, please accept our sincere apologies. Your opinion is very important to us, and was well noticed as well as valued. However, I think the whole issue is a misunderstanding with our driver. Please note the tour was conducted in full based on the inclusions, and the time of the tour offered. The driver provides options for you to choose, as he is knowledgeable of the destination, and is here to assist you to have a better experience. You can feel free to deny any recommendations made by him to you, if you do not want without being pushy. Clients constantly ask about the Dead Sea products; thus we feel it is good to inform the clients, if interested of course as the prices are similar everywhere. I hope this clarifies the situation to you and any reader looking to book this tour, since the objective is to serve our clients and have them have a wonderful amazing unforgettable time with us in Jordan!

Excellent experience both history and religous

Michael_S, May 2023

Great time with our driver/guide Amer Ramoni. Jordan Baptism site tour was well organized and we were able to wade into the river. The Dead Sea resort had excellent facilities, floated in the sea, and yummy lunch. Amer was very entertaining !! Good job !!

Response from Host, May 2023

💕Great! Looking forward to have you and your family again with us! Thank you.

Best tour ever

Shawn_D, Apr 2023

Hafez was the best tour guide one could ask for. I did not want to leave his company as he even showed me about the city of Amman after the tour which was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had as I was able to put my entire body in the Jordan river where jesus was baptized. Hafez was so knowledgeable about history of Jordan and other things. He even took me to see the highest building in Amman and waited for me. The hotel experience of this tour was awesome with a. All you can eat buffet at the holiday inn at the desf sea. An experience one should not miss in this beautiful country of Jordan.

Jesus’ baptism site, the River Jordan - there was an actual baptism taking place on the Jewish side. Means a lot if you’re from a Christian background.
