We booked our trip with Encounters which was piloted by Atlas tours in Morocco. We had an excellent trip, our guide was very knowledgeable and the sites were amazing. There is an extra to obtain better hotels offered by Atlas which we didn't know about and may have paid as some hotels in the far regions were barely passable... . We covered 1400 km in 5 days, so we spent …
The local tour company who coordinated this trip is actually not Encounter Travel but called "Al-Thuraya Travel & Tours". Our tour guide Mr. Sami one of the best tour guides I have ever traveled with. He is smart, funny with full of terrible jokes and professional. He also has a mission to make each tour a fruitful experience for all the travelers.
Fast pace and fabulous! I had a wonderful time from start to finish So many wonderful planned sites to see, activities and volumes of historical information. My group could not of been a better match. We quickly became a caring family. My only dissatisfaction was the sleeping train. But this too became part of this memorable adventure. At the end of our 9 day trip we were taken right up …
Our trip to India was an amazing experience. I think Encounters Travel did an excellent job! Everything was not perfect, but I also did not expect perfection! When you travel to a third world country, you always have to be ready for unexpected changes and try to be flexible. All in all I loved this tour. Our first stop was Delhi and we had an excellent guide, Jimmy, very knowledgeable …
My "Discover Egypt" tour with Encounters Travel was the trip of a lifetime. It covered all the most important sites of ancient Egypt, for an unbelievable price. Our guide, Waleed, was extremely knowledgeable and very organized, and the care he put into everything made the group feel like a family (in the good way). The add-ons, a trip to the temples of Abu Simbel and a balloon ride, were well …
I went on the Nubian Adventure 9-day tour in early October and loved it. I am usually a solo traveler that does my own thing, but I knew that Egypt would be a different story so I took a chance on the Encounters tour and it did not disappoint. My group (shout out to the family) was a great mix of people - range of age groups, backgrounds, some couples …

My major complaint is when I booked this tour I was not informed that the overnight sitting train has not allowed foreign tourists to ride since 2011. You are 100% guaranteed to have to pay for the upgrade. Other than that I'd recommend people taking the flight to Aswan than the train due to the rooms being very tiny, the washrooms completely disgusting and if you like meals of just …
If you are planning on visiting Egypt to see the main tourist sites, then do not worry about the concerns of safety. As a blonde single woman traveling with another female, we never felt unsafe, both when we were with our guides but also when we ventured out in the afternoons and at night on our own. I would recommend Encounters Travel. Ant in the main office was very quick …
I took the Nubian adventure tour with Encounter travels, and it was amazing. Since arriving in Egypt, one of their representatives was waiting for me and helped me with all procedures. Everything was flawlessly organized, and our assigned Egyptologist (Medo), was a fantastic guide. The chosen hotels, the attractions, the service, everything top notch. Very recommended. The felucca trip is AMAZING, and one of the highlights of the trip. The …
Trip was great. Guide was fantastic and made the tour! Only downside was group was larger than expected and desert safari didn't live up to expectations.
The tour was well planned and covered all major highlights. Zuzu and Idris were exceptional guides and made the trip very fun and memorable.
