Amritsar was mind boggling and beautiful!
The Good: It was a good guided first look at Egypt. The wealth of surviving history in Egypt is a lot more than the Great Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. The temples visited and the stories behind them are really interesting. There is a lot of overlap of the stories and markings on the temples that towards the end, the enthusiasm for temple visits waned. I would always cherish the …
Overall very good trip, accommodation was great in Amman, less so in Petra. Our Guide (Ibrahim) was excellent and went out of his way to accommodate the needs of the group (9 of us), he was knowledgeable and friendly. The itinerary is packed! Be prepared to walk a few kilometres when visiting Petra, it's worth it but it is tiring. If you want to see all the key sites in …
This trip was amazing! Memories for a lifetime. Our tour guide mahmoud was absolutely perfect. We seen so much of the great land of Egypt. Im actually on my last night of my trip here as i type this and i am so sad to leave! Highly reccomended !!!
This was a great tour for anyone seeking adventure! But if you are looking for a five-star holiday, look elsewhere. We were lucky to have a great team that bonded well, despite age span from late teens to fifties. Our tour guide, Gift, and driver Doc were amazing! These guys deserve six stars each. After loooong, bumpy drive days, we were exhausted, yet they were still jovial, made our meals …
Train was disappointing
Great tour with a great guide. I was able to see way more in less time than I thought I would be able to see. I would go again because it appears I would be able to be flexible with what I would see.
Encounters Travel can be very highly recommended for their attention to detail and the care and concern they have for their clientele. For anyone traveling to Egypt for the first time, all of the major sites were included or offered as options. With the exception of the sleeper train from Cairo to Aswan, which was dirty and run down, the accommodations were first rate and travel arrangements were excellent. The …
Your itenaries kept changing.your office in London Mariska was terrible. I will explain if someone in management calls me.
We had an upgrade with our accommodation so it was excellent. The greatest disappointment was that we were only in Petra for half a day when the itinerary implied we would be there a full day before transporting to our dinner. We got to our dinner place at 5.00pm when dinner was not served until 7.00pm so we could have a least stay an extra hour in Petra if not …
Thank you for a wonderful experience, this was my dream vacation and you made a really memorable one. All the hotels were really good, the tour guides very professional. Definitely recommending it
Aboudy of Lady Egypt was exceptional. He was fun, caring and full of knowedge.
