La Vacanza Travel is a complete roll of the dice. Book at your own risk. After having a horrible experience with La Vacanza Travel In our previous booking for this exact Petra trip, when our operator ditched us and La Vacanza Travel refused to provide a refund, we hit the jackpot with this tour, which was wonderful from start to finish. We took our chances because La Vacanza Travel is very convenient and we had no time to re-book (we went to Eilat In part to do this trip and had only 1 day to rebook after the prior operator ditched us), but understand that some tours with La Vacanza Travel are great (as this one was), and some are horrible. It all depends on the actual operator that provides the service through La Vacanza Travel. La Vacanza Travel is just a clearing house, and they wash their hands of the service provided by the operator. The operator we had the first day did not provide instructions on where to meet and didn’t respond to calls, texts and emails. They also made us go through a totally unnecessary passport uploading process, and they told us we needed US dollars for visa, which was not true. The operator for this tour (the next day) was incredible. They picked us up at our hotel and took care of every detail. They did not create obstacles or road blocks like the first one did. Petra is beautiful, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. We felt safe and cared for. What a difference a day (and the operator) makes.

We went to Petra at the end of January. We were 3 adults from Eilat. The car picked us up from the Eilat hotel at the agreed time and took us to the border. The driver spoke English and explained how to cross the border. Then he said when you come back from the excursion I will take you back to the hotel. When we crossed the border into Israel, we were met by another person from the agency who collected the money for the border fees (when we booked the tour we had chosen to pay the customs fees in cash). Then we crossed the jordanian border and got on a big bus. We went to pick up tourists from Aqaba. Everything went quickly and smoothly. When all the tourists were on the bus, we headed towards Petra. The guide gave each a bottle of water. The guide spoke good English. He told a lot on the way to Petra. The views from the windows of the bus were amazing. There was a toilet stop near the Petra. When we arrived in Petra and got off the bus, the guide showed us the place where we will have lunch and what time we will finish walking around Petra. The time during the whole trip was calculated well, because there were tourists who had to catch the ferry in Aqaba after the excursion. Walking around Peter went at a good pace, we managed to take pictures and admire it. When walking petra, footwear should be sporty. We went forward with the group. then we were given free time to walk back to the place for lunch. Lunch was a buffet. The food is delicious. Drinks at extra cost. In the afternoon we went back to the border. We said goodbye to the guide at the border. When we were in Eilat, the driver took us back to the hotel. The excursion is not cheap, but it is worth the money :)

Our driver to border of Jordania and away from border was really nice and funny. Petra is place to see but waiting in border was waste of time, took 1,5 hours. No matter the company you hire in Israel, one bus take them all to the one bus to Petra. The guide in this bus, Fadi, was really nice and efficient. Petra was cold at this time of year, Feb, since it's in the mountains.

We paid $378.10 for two adults for this tour and then paid another $260.00 for what we were told was the entrance to Jordan and recently to Israel fees. This should have been approximately $65 each. The operator never did give us a breakdown of this charge. We were the only Bookings/Viatour people on the trip and everyone in line in front of us was charged $65 per person. Petra is lovely. The tour was ridiculously overpriced.
