Enjoyed our trip to Morocco- this was an unforgettable experience. Encounters Travel did everything right to make the trip a memorable one. Good hotels, good food and lots of sight seeing but kept the pace just right. Plenty of stops to cater to a mixed group of travellers so though we travelled a lot we were always ready for the next phase. Our highlight was watching the sunset on the …
What an adventure! As a single solo female I was so pleased by how many other solo travellers there were in our group, a few couples and pairs of friends also gave us such a good mix that very soon into it we all bonded and looked after each other, felt like one close family, everyone got on so well together. Idris our guide was amazing, one of those rare …
This has been my second tour with Encounters Travel. My first was to Egypt in Nov 2012 and my second was Morocco in June 2013 and both tours were AMAZING. I'm a single female who travels alone but by the time I finish my tour I'm become part of a family. The tour guides are amazing, kind, and go out of their way to make your vacation memorable. Encounters give …
We are wrapping up our trip in Morocco now, and it has been a fantastic experience. I can't say enough good things. I wanted to write to commend our tour guide Mohamed and our driver Nabeel. They went out of their way to make sure this trip was smooth and fun. It was an experience of a lifetime, thanks to their non-stop hard work. Please pass along my many thanks …
Amazing trip! Probably one of the best I've been on, very organized and the guides were absolutely amazing. Encounters travel was great about communicating with us and was very helpful with coordinating travel for me and my group of friends. Morocco is a beautiful country and the people are very nice. It would have been nice to have a little bit more free time to explore on our own, I …
Amazing trip and a great experience with Encounters. I bought the trip through Living Social with three other friends. From the start, the staff at Encounters were extremely easy and pleasant to work with. I'm in the DC area and they are a UK company so I found it easier to just email back and forth. I always received a reply to my questions within 24 hours. The trip included …
On this, my 3rd tour in Egypt in 3 years, I was happily once again joining a tour under the expert guidance of tour manager, Egyptologist Waleed Kamouna. I was traveling with Encounters Tours for the 1st time, and though I did repeat sites I had seen before, I can never get enough of Hatshepsut's temple, of Karnak, of felucca cruises at sunset, and this time a 4 day stay …
We booked our trip with Encounters which was piloted by Atlas tours in Morocco. We had an excellent trip, our guide was very knowledgeable and the sites were amazing. There is an extra to obtain better hotels offered by Atlas which we didn't know about and may have paid as some hotels in the far regions were barely passable... . We covered 1400 km in 5 days, so we spent …
If this review covered just our guides throughout our trip to Morocco (Zouzou and Idris), I would give it 5* without hesitation. Warm, funny, engaging, extremely knowledgeable and always on hand to help out with the smallest of queries, both frequently went far beyond the call of duty on a regular basis. They were utterly and impossibly good hosts, even under the often unreasonable pressures put on them by some …
Our guides Zou zou and Idris were perfect hosts, very knowledgeable, and answered any questions put to them, with an honesty rarely found (even when asked some very intrusive questions by some more forthright tourers) We were a bigger than expected group of 43, and were split into two. This at times was frustrating due to some people wishing to spend longer shopping. The first week was very action packed, …
I went as a solo traveller and I wasn't disappointed with my experience on the Mosaics tour. My group were like minded and experienced all that the tour had to offer and there was a good mix of couples, family and single travellers. At no point did I feel isolated and with nothing to do. I feel that I got the full flavour of what Morocco had to offer and …
Booked with Will through Living Social deal. He was extremely helpful while booking & ended up being on our tour with us! Morocco itself was awesome. The tour was extensive & with that comes hours on the bus to travel. ZouZou & Edreese (our 2 guides) made it enjoyable & went the extra mile to keep us entertained. The highlight was the Berber camp & Dromedary (Camel w/ 1 hump) …
