One of the best tour guides! - Lina is a great tour guide! She takes great care of her customers, knows very much about her culture and Jordan's history and all in all is one of the best tour guides we've ever traveled with! After our 10 day journey through Jordan we've not only knew nearly everything about Jordan, but also became close friends with her. Thank you, Lina, for making this trip an unforgettable experience that wouldn't have been half as great without you!

Incredible experience with a gifted guide! - Lina is wonderful! She is so knowledgeable about Jordan as well as excited to spread her love of her home. I’ve taken tours with three other guides before. Lina’s tour was different. She explained history like a story— each stop felt like walking in the steps of the people from long before. She also has forged strong relationships the communities of the tour, particularly in Petra. She knows what experiences are worthwhile and which ones are scams. Be sure to take this trip for an interesting and enjoyable experience from a knowledgeable guide.

A memorable trip to Jordan - This tour was an incredible journey through Jordan's treasures. Our guide, Lina, fluent in Mandarin and English, seamlessly shared the rich history of Petra, the rejuvenating experience at the Dead Sea, and the breathtaking landscapes of Wadi Rum. Her storytelling, fueled by her passion for history, added a fascinating layer to the trip, especially for someone writing a historical novel. Highly recommended for a unique blend of culture, nature, and inspiration.

Best Tour Guide in Jordan with amazing Personality!! - Jordan is an amazing country with full of natural and historical beauties. We really enjoyed our whole tour, and cherish the memories after all these times. And our trip to Jordan became even more enjoyable and insightful due to our wonderful guide Lina Ravav. Lina is an energetic, fun and extremely knowledgeable person. Her insight of Jordanian and Islamic history made our tour even more enjoyable. She is fluent in English, Arabic and Mandarin. Her amazing personality and kind heartedness makes her standout to us among all tour guides we had while traveling different parts of the world. I wish her all the best in her career, both as a tour guide and also as a writer!!

Amazing Intro to Jordan - Lina is super friendly, passionate, and knowledgeable about all of Jordan’s areas and secrets. I would choose the same exact tour guide if I was to go and explore more of Jordan. Her guide to all of the places is super engaging, sparking interest that makes you passionate to learn and explore more. It feels like you are just constantly uncovering secret treasures that few people know about. She showcases a unique perspective that shows a deep love for Jordan’s heritage and a deep desire to share the things she knows with the world. Would do it again 100 times over!

Very easy to deal with. Enthusiastic and professional tour guide - Super professional and very considerate, friendly and enthusiastic tour guide. He also answered all questions and bought us coffee at his own expense. His Chinese skills are also very strong and he would also share other special local culture and history with us. The whole trip was full of joy and he was almost our 24-hour nanny. The journey was safe and smooth.

Jordan 🇯🇴 Travel - Lina is a very competent tour guide. She is very professional and considerate. She takes care of every detail. The explanation is very professional and she is very nice. She will try her best to help if there is any need. Lina is sincere and warm-hearted. Under his leadership, we visited many scenic spots and explained a lot about the culture and history of the Arab world, so that we who are curious can understand better. I highly recommend Lina! When traveling to Jordan, you must specify Lina! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
