We haven't done the trip yet so should probably reserve final judgement until afterwards but I liked the idea, when I came across it, of paying in this country with ABTA protection for a trip which is organised by a local tour company which Travellocal have vetted & approved. I'd tried a couple of other local companies beforehand which had been so-so but hadn't really responded in the way I'd hoped in order to fix a tailor-made schedule. The Jordanian company I've arranged the trip with through Travellocal have been spot-on, have responded rapidly and in detail & we have sorted an itinerary which I'm very happy with.... and it has all worked out a bit cheaper than I was quoted elsewhere. If the trip turns out to be as well-organised as the planning, I will certainly be recommending others to use Travellocal.
