My best trip ever!

I really hated leaving Egypt, but all good things must come to an end. We had a wonderful group of travelers, a great support group from Encounters Travel and a fantastic tour guide that made Egyptian history come to life. The hardest part was saying goodbye to my small group of traveling companions and the Encounters support group. It’s great that Encounters Travel limits the size of their groups to …

2nd Tour with Encounters and it was just incredible!!

This was a trip I'll never forget and Encounters could not have done a more amazing job of making it an enjoyable, unforgettable experience. My tour guide Big Mo (trained Egyptologist) was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodated the group in a way he should be proud of. He made sure we knew where to shop for authentic Egyptian items, negotiated with hotel for late check outs, ensured we were safe during …

Nepal on a Shoestring - Truly fantastic

I have just returned from the Nepal on a Shoestring Tour and I can highly recommend it. A fantastic, non-stop way to be introduced to Nepal; Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara in 8 days. I added on an additional day at the start which did mean I had some quiet time before the action began! Our guide, Dipesh, who escorted us for the trip entirety was brilliant and very patient with …

Discover Egypt Tour - BEST EVER!!!!

We received a pop-up add for EncountersTravel on facebook. When I saw the ad for their Discover Egypt Trip, I know that we had to book THIS TRIP! Was I apprehensive - absolutely. In the USA, we see all sorts of media sharing how dangerous it is to travel in Egypt. Well, we certainly NEVER felt afraid or threatened in the 10 days that we were on the trip with …

Best Egypt Tour Group

I highly recommend you to use Encounters if you travel to Egypt. Their customer service was excellent and exceeded my expectations. When we landed we were greeted by Islam Gaber our tour leader. He helped us get our visas and then took us to our shuttle. While traveling to the hotel, he gave us an overview of what to expect while visiting Egypt and answered all of our questions. He …

The sights were pretty awesome but our guide Sami brought the history behind them to life with his explanations. He was more that just a tour guide, he was more of a host. Also, the people of Jordan were so nice. People passing by say “Welcome to Jordan” just out of the blue! This happened in the grocery store, market places and walking down the street. I’ve never had people …

The tour was very good and covered most of the sights that I wanted to see. The City tour on day 2 was only for half day and I took the option to visit Cape Sounio with the tour company (not part of the overall tour). It was well worth a visit to see the Temple of Poseidon. I would recommend that you mention this in the trip notes as …

Amazing 9 Day Adventure

Can’t say enough about how good this tour is. Few key points: - Guide (Waleed) is passionate, knowledgeable and great fun. He genuinely cared about each and everyone one of us. If anyone was unwell or had an issue he would go out of his way to sort it out. Could not ask for a better guide! - Tour is extremely well organised. From the moment you land to your …

Discover Egypt, small group 9 day tour

We (my sister and I) visited the pyramids, valley of Kings, Nubian village, had a camel ride in the desert, sailed on the Nile in a falucca and so much more. It was really excellent. We saw the real Egypt with lots of history, culture, camels, donkeys, desert..... I will never forget it. Our Egyption guide was fluent in English (degrees in English Literature and Egyptology) and had an excellent …
