Having visited Egypt for my father's birthday we had a wonderful time, made so by the brilliant guides. They were knowledgeable, interesting and entertaining. We learnt so much from our trip and came back with nothing but praise for the what we saw and experienced. It was so fantastically organised we didn't have to worry about anything, meaning we were free to enjoy our time there to the full. I …
We just completed the 9 day Gods of Egypt tour and had a great time. We saw all the sights we could possibly squeeze into a 9 day tour including the Great Pyramids, Sphinx, and Egyptian Museum in Cairo, a 3 night cruise on the Nile where we saw numerous temples and sights from Aswan to Edfu and Luxor, a day of relaxation on the Red Sea at Hurghada before …
Returned from the 9 day Discover Egypt tour with Encounters Travel. First class hotels, lots of sights , plenty of good food. Our tour guide, Hani, was exceptional. With 2 degrees in archeology and history, he was able to point out many details many would have passes over. He also had a great sense of humor. Highly recommended, for the itinerary and quality of accommodations. Only criticism is the overnight …
Simply stated, this trip was the best trip of my life, and I am fairly well traveled, having been all over Central America, the Caribbean, and Europe. The people at Encounters Travel are consummate professionals, and the entire trip went off without a hitch even though it included four international flights, a domestic flight, a train trip, a river cruise ship, and numerous vans and buses. We saw amazing sights …
I went on a 10 trip to Egypt with Encounters Travel. They work in Egypt with Discover Egypt. These guys are the best. I was met at Cairo Airport by Anass upon arrival. He also walked me through check ins and security at the airport when departing at the end of the trip. While in Egypt, the tour guides Magz and Ahmed were awesome. They studied Egyptology at University and …
This is our fifth trip orgainsed by Encounters and the very efficicient and thougtful Anthony Horrobin and his colleages in India. We travelled in Rajastan and the Punjab. All the key sites eg Taj Mahal, Amber Foort etc are amazing of course but sometimes people do not go further afield. You should! Johdpur and Udaipur have beautiful sites and very attractive hotels and restaurants. They are also excelllent for shopping! …
My girlfriend and I did the discover egypt trip. Khalifa and Sherif were our guides. In no way at all could I think of a way it could have gone smoother. They were well organized and knowledgeable. I FULLY suggest taking a trip and seeing for yourself.
I took the 9 day tour with a felucca cruise and was such a great tour. My friend and I had a great time. One of our tour guides was Islam Gaber and he made sure to educate us on the daily life of many people in Egypt. He made the tour much more personable. The itinerary was full as we visited many temples and landmarks and my favorite was …
