It is worth taking the extra day in Istanbul at the start, and maybe more than one as there is a lot to see which is not on the tour and it is great place to just wander around. We were disappointed that between visiting the archaeological sites, which were sometimes a bit rushed, we were used as a captive audience for carpet and leather salesman. If someone in your …

Waleed was an awesome guide, so incredibly patient and knowledgeable. His love of Egypt and its impressive history cannot be denied. I would definitely recommend any tour with him as the leader. My only complaint was that the restaurants where we ate do not know how to cook delicious vegetarian meals (most of the main courses were too salty).

Khalid was great, he was really interested in the everything and made sure he showed us as much as possible. He even arranged a birthday cake for one of our group. The itinerary was really packed and we saw so much in such a short space of time. The Amman hotel was really good on the first couple of nights, however on our last night the hotel was overbooked and …

It was a lovely journey. Our guide Riyad was delightful. He was competent, caring, professional with a great sense of humor and I felt we were in capable hands. Our driver Waleed was also a terrific gentleman. Although Petra is certainly a main attraction, experiencig Jerash was equally as awesome. Our home stay was wonderful with warm, cozy accommodations and a most hospitable guide in Esa and fabulous meals prepared …

I rate Encounters very good for how they finally handled a CPaP machine / lack of power supply on boat and train . They really stepped up and flew me to Cairo from Luxor. Our guide , Emad, was so diligent in making sure everyone was comfortable and had their wishes fulfilled. He was superb in his delivery of the cultural, historical and architectural information. I had studied ancient Egyptian …

The Guesthouse in Amman was lovely accommodation. Khalid was a very kind and patient tour guide- especially when I was sick. We did two extra day trips with him- Desert Castles and Bethany and I enjoyed them enormously. In winter I would probably recommend varying the itinerary to spend very little time at the Dead Sea (so cold!) and more time at Wadi Rum. That was too rushed- also freezing …

We loved the whole trip. Our guide Adi (Adnane Snoussi) was in particular extremely impressive in his local knowledge and his ability to cater to all three languages spoken by the people in our tour (French, English, and Italian). That might not be for everyone, but my wife and I used the opportunity to practice our French with the other tourists. The sights were gorgeous (we especially loved the ruins …

I loved my trip visiting all of the historical sites. Nothing to dislike. I appreciated the time the group had to themselves so I especially could be out and about and meet with the locals which was the primary motive for my trip. I fully enjoyed the historical and natural wonders on show but I loved meeting and spending time with ordinary Jordanians. I managed to do this and that …

Fantastic tour company. However, the food and service on MoonDance ship left something to be desired.
