Chevy created the perfect custom tour to Argentina and Chile!! He helped us once before for Croatia, Montenegro and turkey! This company will make the best vacations ever!
My partner and I recently had a two-week holiday in Turkey, organised through Encounters Travel. We wanted something tailored to our interests and availability, and Gavin at Encounters created a bespoke version of an existing tour for us. As we worked out what this tour might involve, it necessitated quite a few questions and answers going back and forth, as we refined our plans. Each time Gavin was very prompt …
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 …
What a GREAT experience! I was a solo traveler and a bit worried but everyone at the office staff answered all my questions promptly assuring me I'd be in an English speaking group. I even missed my initial flight Nd Travel Encounters was able to coordinate my new transfer pick up time in Istanbul. The tour itself was also simply amazing, especially if you like History! Great sites with plenty …
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 …
We had a really good holiday in Turkey. It was very busy and we did over 3500Km over the 9 days. We started in Istanbul then visited Galipoli Kusadai Cappadocia and places in between. There were never more than 21 in our tour group, varied backgrounds and ages from late 20's to high 80's. An extremely friendly and sociable group. Our highlight was the dawn hot air balloon flight over …
I took one of the trips to Turkey and it was wonderful. The trip was very organized and everything was taken care of. When booking the trip, they were incredibly helpful and flexible. I would travel with them again.
I want to start by saying it wasn't bad by any means, we got what we payed for, it was far easier than organising the same travel without a tour would have been. BUT! to begin, Encounters Travel do not provide this tour, they on-sold my partner and I to a local guide, so we joined 5 other couples/families/groups of friends... who were on five different tours from five different …
We've never done a coach tour before. Was expecting a lot of driving obviously but didn't expect five to seven hours a day (and this was just the west coast). If only they could make Turkey smaller! The guide however was excellent "we will stop soon for some snakes" and our group were all good company but that became a problem:- Parts of the group would be taken away to …
I travel internationally for vacation 2-3 times a year. My go-to tour companies for solo travel had vaccination requirements I was avoiding, so I found this company that had great reviews and had the same value proposition - travel solo at no additional cost, get a roommate, and get ready for adventure. They had a tour of Turkey that perfectly matched my needs. The first red flag was that they …
