India Temples & Tigers Tour: Great tour itinerary but let down by absence of tour guide

I thought this itinerary was fantastic — a really well‑designed blend of culture, cities, countryside and food. If you enjoy variety in a tour, this one delivers it beautifully. The tour bus was also one of the nicest i've ever travelled on! However, we did not have the full‑time tour guide we had paid for. Although we had local guides in each city, we felt the lack of a dedicated …

We had recently completed the 7 Days Egyptian Legacy tour with Encounter travels that included 3 days in Cairo and 4 days on the Nile river cruise covering Aswan, Abu Simbel, Karnak, Luxor, Edfu and Om Kombo, Overall it is a very positive experience for us barring few areas where I would suggest that Encounter Travel may want to pay attention. Our local tour operator at Cairo AhmedMZada was wonderful. …

Our trip started in Namibia, where the itinerary promised visits to the seals, sand dunes, Kamanjab, Windhoek, and four game drives in Etosha National Park. Unfortunately, the reality was quite different — we only had one game drive, and none of the other listed locations (seals, sand dunes, Kamanjab, or Windhoek) were visited. There was also an optional game drive offered for £80, but the timing (1:30–3:30 p.m.) was only …

We enjoyed our time in Jordan and our many unique experiences! The most important thing to note was how safe we felt traveling around the country. The main highlight for us was seeing Petra. The crowd sizes were small due to the political climate in the area, but that worked out to our advantage. Another highlight was getting the opportunity to float in the Dead Sea. Other stops included Aqaba, …

Trmple and Tigers Tour India

Recently returned from Temple and Tiger Tour in India. A great trip around the golden triangle and Ranthambore National Park. Did not see a tiger but saw other animals and scenery was great. Our driver was Param who was great. Helped us out with finding atms and some shops. As only myself and husband were on the tour we had local guides at all the places we visited. All were …

Amazing adventure!

This trip was an adventure for sure! Visiting Jordan was amazing; however, when we got to Egypt it was a more stressful experience. Beware the extra charges for tours where they want dollars instead of pounds. Also, they rush you through places and limited time to shop for souvenirs. If you see something you want, get it because there won’t be another chance. The tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful. …

JORDAN Highlight of the trip as usual is Petra - you really need a long day for this especially if you want to see the Monastery. The guide think that you don't but we had to reiterate to him that tourists go to Jordan to mainly see Petra. We opted to go another castle instead of the Kerak castle that was in the itinerary because the guide warned us that …

In Fez we visited non of major Madresahs and didn't spend time to explore major attractions, instead our tour leader walked us to farther parts of souk and took us to visit 5 big shops the whole day for marketing to get his commission spending 1 hour in each of them! Virtually all our day was spent in those shops. It was a shopseeing tour instead of a sightseeing tour. …

Great tour, but a lot of driving to see the amazing sites in Jordan. Hotel staff were nice but one hotel did not have working hot water. Another hotel had a broken elevator. Petra is so amazing it would be worth having a second day to explore more thoroughly.
