Egypt Tour and Petra Tour was Amazing!!!

My travel buddies and I decided to visit the amazing city of Egypt and Petra! Our destination was pretty long flight from LAX to layover at London then fly to Cairo Egypt. As soon as we got there it was about 3 a.m. and one of the encounter guide was there to pick us up. Got to the hotel, just to fresh in up a bit, had breakfast at 6 …

Nubian Adventure!

We originally booked our 10day tour with a groupon deal and we’re plesently surprised at how well the deal worked out. We had some issues getting into contact with the booking agency over the phone I’m the USA, but received great email responses from the UK office. Our tour was amazing! We had the most wonderful guide (Saadoon) who really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy …

Nubian Adventure Tour

Fantastic Adventure! The monuments, tombs, pyramids, temples & statues of ancient Egypt are absolutely breathtaking. Add the considerable knowledge of our Egyptologist guide, Mohammed, plus the excitement of oversight trips by train and felucca and this vacation is truly the adventure of a lifetime! We couldn’t have been more pleased with our tour guide. He was friendly, funny, caring and extremely knowledgeable. Encounters Tours are absolute masters of logistics, flawlessly …

Experiences That I Will Always Cherish

Encounters Travel leaves no stone unturned. Every part of each leg of the tour is timed so whatever mode of transportation, whether boat or bus we will be picked up in a timely manner. It all starts at the airport where I was met. You get escorted through the customs area with your luggage. If you ever want to experience VIP treatment you might want to try this company, at …

Best Birthday Ever!!!

I have just returned from my Best Birthday Celebration Ever! My husband, daughter and I journeyed to Egypt 5/5/17 with Encounters Travel and their Discover Egypt Package. This was at the top of the Bucket List for my husband and I and it far exceeded our expectations. The London Group of Encounters was wonderful in allowing and accommodating our 10 yr. old daughter. Encounters provided a safe environment that we …

Incredible!

Along with my "family members" who already reviewed below, I also recently completed the 9 day Discover Egypt tour with Encounters Travel. From the start the trip came together smoothly, with excellent communication by Ant in the UK office. I arrived into Cairo at 11PM and a representative was there waiting to guide me and two others from the family who were on my flight through the visa process and …

A fabulous discovery of Israel and it's Holy sites.

My friend and I looked for package tours to Israel online, but I am not very confident booking anything online unless I have a local phone number to call and speak to a person. We finally found our tour with a travel agent who had a number for me to be able to speak to a person and in this way feel assured that the company was legitimized. I spoke …

Egypt March 2017 through encounters travel

It's been 2 weeks since we came back from our trip to Egypt and it still seems like a dream come true. Egypt offers spectacular history, sights in so many of its cities. You just have to marvel when you see Abu Simbel, the pyramids at Giza, the temples at Luxor. So lucky us we could see greatest tombs in The Valley of the Queens, highly recommended Nefertari's tomb and …

Best Travel Agency Experience I Have Ever Had

I found a 9 day trip to Egypt on sale through a sports site I shop with. The price was SO good that I couldn't resist. My daughter and I booked the Encounters Travel 9 Day Discover Egypt Tour for only $650. We bought our own airfare. From start to finish this was an excellent experience. Encounters was very responsive and helpful, despite the fact that they are in England …

Well organised trip to Nepal and Bhutan - thanks to Ant.

Encounters Travel/Uncover the World in the UK organised a trip to Nepal and Bhutan for me during Nov 2016. When reviewing the various options out there I was impressed with their knowledge in the area and they were able to put together a good itinerary covering a good many sites across a number of regions. They organised hotels, transfers, guides and drivers as well as Bhutanese visas and flights between …
