This was a trip I'll never forget and Encounters could not have done a more amazing job of making it an enjoyable, unforgettable experience. My tour guide Big Mo (trained Egyptologist) was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodated the group in a way he should be proud of. He made sure we knew where to shop for authentic Egyptian items, negotiated with hotel for late check outs, ensured we were safe during …
I bought a ticket thru living social at 3am when I couldn’t sleep and then said to myself “What did I just do?!” turns out what I did was make one of the BEST DECISIONS OF MY LIFE!!! The travel agency was easy to work with and always available via telephone (UK HOURS) I traveled alone for an additional few of 200 or something but they found me a roommate …
My best friend and I opted to take the 9 day Moroccan Melodies tour, and it was incredible. We would highly recommend our driver/guide, Simo, who was incredibly knowledgeable about the country, always on time, and went above and beyond to take care of us. Our flight into Casablanca was delayed four hours, and he still waited at the airport the entire time to pick us up (it was 11:30pm …
7-day excursion to the four royal cities of Morocco. Excellent introduction to Morocco. Booked online and all contact with Encounters Travel was via email but they were very responsive to all questions. The tour was as promised, we were met at the Casablanca airport, delivered to our hotel where we met up with the tour guide and group the next morning. The multi-lingual guide was charming, well-informed and eager to …
I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun I had, how safe I felt, and how friendly everyone was. I say surprised, because I was apprehensive about visiting Egypt with all the news I had been hearing. I never felt unsafe. Our tour guide, Hany, was the absolute best. He was always willing to explain any question we had, whether about a temple, or inquiring about the local culture. My …
I can really recommend to book a trip through ENCOUNTERS TRAVEL. Stumbled across them by accident when i was searching the net for best prices. Being from South Africa with the weak ZAR they came out tops. Booked the 10 day Anatolian Adventure. All entrance fees was included. Thanks to Mariska for always getting back to me immediately. The tour surpassed my expectations and the accommodation provided was mostly 5 …
Had an excellent trip with diverse experience across Morocco. The trip was very smooth and great value for money, highly recommended!
We got back recently from a 9 day tour of Morocco, specifically the south. Wow what an amazing experience. Our guide Idris, and our driver Monir felt like long last family by the end of it. They were so helpful and friendly and even took time to teach us Berber and Arabic. Always smiling and full of information and questions it felt like we were travelling with friends rather than …
I went on the Spicy Tagine tour to Morocco in March 2014, and I must say I enjoyed it a lot, every day was full of new experiences, new places and new emotions. Our group was just the right size - 14 people, from different countries, more or less the same age (which is important, you know), we made friends very quickly and enjoyed each other's company... keeping in touch …
This was our first trip with Encounters Travel, and our first trip to Morocco, and what a fantastic trip it was! We had some time in Marrakesh and then travelled over the High Atlas Mountains to the desert, which was memorable for the heights , stunning views, and geology of the area. There were many many good things to remember, one highlight being to travel through the Valley Of The …
It was a wonderful trip , extremely well organised and with a superb guide - friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable with a driver to match. We were a small party of 13 different ages and types and from the start we got on well. I and my husband were the oldies of the party and everyone was very kind to us if the terrain got rough. The choice of places to …
The Moroccan Mosaic 9 day tour was my first ever group tour and at first I was skeptical on whether I would enjoy it but once I met the guide and group of travelers my mind was put at ease. The guide was a fun, lively, friendly and helpful local man who just wanted to make sure I was happy and comfortable. The group were a fantastic mix of gender, …
