If you have any interest in seeing the Antiquities of Egypt, this is the perfect time to go, and the BEST tour company to use is Encounters Travel.

The Encounters Travel Team was extremely expedient with their responses and very cooperative with me and my friends. Their website was incredibly detailed and helpful. I didn't feel lost, for even a second. Everything on the itinerary was done accurately, and there was nothing misleading whatsoever.

I went on the Maldives Magic tour with my partner. Due to no other parties booking on the same date as us the tour itinerary was changed to exclude certain aspects, and add others. This ended up working out very well indeed and I would commend Encounters on their adaptability with such a high quality "plan b". The local guides used were fantastic and very knowledgeable. This definitely helped in …
