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. …

Fantastic Best of Jordan Trip!

My husband and I previously used Encounters Travel for a vacation to Egypt and Greece and therefore jumped at the opportunity to use them for our journey to Jordan. The expectations bar was high given our previous trips being absolutely amazing and something we wanted to replicate in many areas. Our trip to Jordan delivered on those expectations! From the encyclopedic knowledge of our guide, Omar, who explained the historical …

Even a Kidney Stone Attack could not ruin this Incredible/Amazing Egyptian Journey!

I have had the pleasure of experiencing many of the Mayan, Greek and Roman architectural monuments around the world. So I was quite keen on experiencing first-hand the Egyptian treasures. No photo or HD documentary can do justice to what you witness in Cairo, Luxor or Aswan! I convinced two good friends to tag along for this journey (we also added Israel with a very easy Air Sinai 45 minute …

Ode to Waleed Kamouna

Waleed guides us through limestone, alabaster, and marble antiquities. And in a short time we forget present day iniquities. We follow the route of the Pharaohs and Nile. While listening to his stories, we are left beguiled. Greece has its athenaeum, and Rome its Coliseum. Now we stand awed before pyramids and mausoleums. Through a Nubian dinner and a felucca cruise, This exceptional man becomes our muse. We discover Aswan, …

8 day/7 night Taste of the Balkans Tour

Overall I would recommend this tour. I first saw an ad for Encounters on the internet about a year ago and liked the variety of tours they offered as well as their reasonable prices. The idea of hitting 4 Balkan countries in one trip was appealing (along with the very reasonable price), so I booked it. The pros: I got to see A LOT... starting from Athens and moving up …
