Great week in Egypt! Egyptian Legacy Tour

We had such a fantastic vacation in Egypt! We couldn’t it have planned this ourselves - so many venues, all smoothly scheduled with all transfers arranged. There was always a guide to make sure things went well, and they did indeed make everything work. From the pyramids to Luxor and the new amazing Grand Egyptian Museum, we always had a knowledgeable local certified guide who added immensely to our understanding. …

8 Day Egypt Express Tour by Encounters Travel

My friend and I purchased the 'Egypt Express Tour' provided by Encounters Travel and I must say, it was one of the best experiences I have ever had in my life! We were assigned an agent from the company by the name of 'Mariska Knoesen'. She was very professional, proficient, and answered all of my questions and concerns, via e-mail, in a timely fashion. Upon our arrival in Egypt, we …

From the time we landed in Cairo we were treated as VIP’s. Nadine our Tour leader kept on checking on us throughout the journey. We were fortunate to have Fayed and Hossam as the tour guides, they took their time to explain the sites throughout each excursion. Everyone made us feel safe and well looked after.

Wonderful time with friends. The land of Egypt is hard to describe in a few words. The history is so immense I will need to come back again and again. The accommodations were above par and the people from Encounters Travel are very helpful. I would your with them again.

A great company to work with

Encounters travel worked with me to devise a specific itinerary to meet my interests, and its agents and guides in Egypt delivered beautifully while I was in Egypt. I was with a group for most of the trip, but per my request, they set up individual excursions for me on two additional days. Their agents in Cairo and Egypt were particularly good. I had to go to a medical clinic …

Truly fantastic trip!

Absolutely incredible trip to Cairo and Luxor with Encounters travel and Lady Egypt. Everything was organised to perfection from the minute I landed. The guides Mustafa and Tayeb were brilliant - so informative and highly entertaining and also great personal photographers. All the staff were so helpful and went above and beyond. And I felt safe and cared for at all times. I had such a wonderful and memorable trip …

A wonderful trip

From the minute we stepped into the Arrivals area at Cairo airport to stepping into the Departures area 10 days later were looked after with care and friendliness and with great efficiency. Any queries we had were quickly dealt with, (thank you Ahmed) and we couldn’t fault anything. Both our guides in Cairo and on our Dahabiya (Mohammeds) were excellent, so full of knowledge and able to bring 4000 years …

Dream come true!

This was a solo trip for me and it started in Jordan with my guide, Omar Almansi. Omar had such an amazing presence and spirit and I knew it was going to be as amazing as I was dreaming. Little Petra, Petra, camping in Wadi Rum… it was all incredible. Omar knew the significance of people seeing such incredible sites and his guiding did not disappoint! My trip then went …

Amazing Experience with Ayman!

Totally recommend this Amazing experience with Encounters Travel. Ayman was the Best Guide! My son and I traveled to Egypt for the first time Cairo, Giza, Luxor and Aswan! Ayman was super knowledgeable, friendly and down to earth. He explained the Egyptian history on the sites we were visiting and answered all of our questions. We never felt unsafe or alone and we knew he was just a phone call …

Discover Egypt Tour

Our recent Discover Egypt tour was just magic! A brilliant tour of Egypt's amazing ancient History. With a few extra excursions, we added the Roman and Greek history and more 'recent' Christian and Islamic time. The reps in the cities were beyond amazing. They made themselves available 24/7 and would move Heaven and Earth to make us happy! I particularly need to mention Hassan in Cairo and Mohammed in Hurghada. …

Trip of a lifetime

What an amazing, well organised, once in a lifetime trip this was! We were greeted at the airport by Ahmed (and a massive, welcoming smile) and delivered safely to our comfortable hotel. The next day he accompanied us to meet our guide, Mustafa who was a fountain of knowledge! Two nights later, we flew to Luxor for our cruise and were met at the airport by Tyeb who was our …
