Jordan has some excellent tourist attractions but this was a tour at least partly relating to Lawrence and it didn't really deliver in this area. The tour was poorly structured and TCE had clearly...

Thank you for your feedback. We have received varying feedback on this tour, but we will of course take on board all of the comments that have been made to us and make hotel/meal changes.

The changes we had made for the 2020 tour were due to us changing the itinerary not because we thought that the tour was poorly structured, but we are sorry you feel this way. We wouldn't put a tour on if we thought the planning was poor. We plan all of the tours in house and always believe they are the best they can be.

As for the guide, the last time Eamonn was our expert guide for this tour he received brilliant feedback, and because of this, we used him again. We understand however that this time he was below par. We had already changed the guide for 2020 because of the itinerary changes, but if we hadn't then we would have looked to change the guide based on the feedback from this years tour.

As you mentioned, you felt this was below our usually standard which means you know how good our tours are, and hope you travel with us again soon.

Tour went to some good locations but the itinerary planning was poor, with too much time spent on the coach and not enough time spent at the best locations (Petra, Wadi Rum, Jerash). Interestingly,...

I expected much more from the tour, bearing in mind the cost, and previous trips with this company. I feel an opportunity was lost to provide a great cultural experience. In particular, the quantity...

Hi Phillip, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on the tour. We have heard that the historical element of the tour wasn't up to our usual high standards. The last time that we ran this tour, Eamonn received extremely high praise, so of course we used him again. We had changed the itinerary for 2020 so decided to use a different guide. As we act on customer feedback however, if the 2020 tour was going to be with the same guide, we would have probably looked at making a change.

Food can be problematic, and we do try and cater for everyone but appreciate it may not always be to everyone's taste for every meal, especially on a sold out tour. For the most part we usually get this right. I am glad that you enjoyed the company of our tour manager and local guide and hope to see you again soon.

Jordan more than met expectations and the locations we visited were superb. In general, the trip was well organised and ran smoothly. But the aspect that makes a TCE trip special (ie the quality and...

For me, this trip was quite expensive because I had the added costs of getting to London from Canada and staying overnight near Heathrow before and after the tour. I also think the costs could be...
