点评:We hadn’t firmly decided on hiring a guide before coming to Petra, but when we got chatting with Abdullah near the ticket office and he was so friendly, helpful and honest about using the services of a guide, we decided to have him help us discover this fabulous place - and we are so glad we did!
He chatted through the options and we made a plan to walk through the whole valley for a half day tour, exploring the Royal Tombs, at sunrise the next day. Abdullah’s English is fantastic and he has a cheerful, easygoing nature so we looked forward to the day itself.
On the morning, we met at the ticket office and walked through the site. His recommendation to go early was excellent - there weren’t many people around and it felt very special. He made sure that our first glimpses of The Treasury were really special and it was a really fun experience.
Abdullah is also brilliant at photography and took lots of pictures of us at certain places - we’d never had got this amazing momentos without him. We also leant so much more about the history and uniqueness of the site. He also knows everybody which made for a fun experience - he helped us negotiate with local sellers and was candid about how to interact with them. We felt like a couple of VIPs as he cleared the way for our photos!
All in all, we can highly recommend Abdullah. He has a young family to support yet never asked for more and was very transparent re pricing etc. His knowledge of the site and history is first-rate and with the fun aspects of his personality and ace photography skills, he is the No1 to hire here!
翻译:来佩特拉之前,我们一直没想好要不要请导游,但当我们在售票处附近和Abdullah聊到他非常友好、乐于助人,而且坦诚地表示需要导游服务时,我们决定请他带我们探索这个神奇的地方——我们很高兴我们这么做了!
他跟我们聊了各种选择,我们计划第二天日出时分,徒步穿越整个山谷,进行半日游,探索皇家陵墓。Abdullah的英语很棒,而且性格开朗随和,所以我们对这一天充满了期待。
早上,我们在售票处碰面,一起参观了整个遗址。他建议我们早点去,这真是太好了——周围人不多,感觉很特别。他确保我们对宝库的第一印象非常特别,这是一次非常有趣的经历。
Abdullah的摄影技术也很棒,在某些地方给我们拍了很多照片——如果没有他,我们永远也拍不到这些精彩的瞬间。我们也对这处遗址的历史和独特之处有了更深入的了解。他认识所有人,这让我们的体验非常有趣——他帮助我们与当地卖家讨价还价,并且坦诚地告诉我们如何与他们互动。当他为我们拍照扫清障碍时,我们感觉自己就像贵宾一样!
总而言之,我们强烈推荐Abdullah。他需要养活一个年轻的家庭,却从未要求更多,而且在定价等方面非常透明。他对遗址和历史的了解堪称一流,再加上他幽默风趣的个性和高超的摄影技巧,他是我们这里最值得聘请的人!
