Wonderful Trip!

I just got back from this trip and I wish it was not over! Encounters Travel was very professional and up front about all costs. They took the hassle out of everything. This guided tour was the perfect way to see Egypt, because everything there has so much history that you'd miss out on if someone isn't explaining it to you. I could not have asked for a better guide! …

9 day Nubian Adventure - highlight of the year!

I cannot think of a way this trip could have been any better. Every single place we visited was breath taking! There was a lot packed into the 9 days, but also some down time to relax at the pool along the Nile :) We had a wonderful tour guide, Waleed, who was so knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and fun! He truly did his best to make it the trip of …

Amazing!

I did the Ancient Encounters trip with Encounters Travel in April 2015 and I really can't say enough wonderful things about the experience. The booking process was fantastic - Anthony was quick to respond and easy to work with, making it all a breeze. As this was my first trip booked through a tour group, I wasn't sure what to expect but was very pleasantly surprised. I was met in …

Encounters Travel - Egyptian Legacy

This was an amazing trip, not only because of the things I saw but because the trip was exceedingly well planned and executed. Encounters Travel's reps were informed and helpful and friendly, particularly Tom, who met me at the Cairo airport and made sure everything was perfect - to the point of texting me when I was on the ship between Luxor and Aswan to make sure everything was going …

Encounters Travel - India Temples and Palaces

We have just returned from a 15 day tour of Rajastan, Varanasi, Khajuraho and Orcha organised by Encounters. This was brilliantly organised and planned. The staff in the UK (Anthony Horrobin in particular) and India could not do enough to help us. For eg when we were disappointed with one hotel they arranged another heritage one for us. The briefing material was also impeccable. We were met all over India …

Encounter Travels - Cairo to Cairo 13 days

This is one of the best trips I ever had. I am a history buff. I love to absorb the culture and know about the history of a place. I am not much into touristy things. Anyways, I took the above mentioned trip from Encounter Travels. The trip starts with meet and greet on Cairo Airport where you will meet Khalifa the trip manager. He will make you feel comfortable …

Truly awesome!

Just returned from a truly awesome 6 day trip to Cairo and Luxor with Encounters. I could write for hours on this, but will keep to a few points.. Khalifa the tour manager was absolutely excellent - he literally couldn't have done more for us, he was friendly, enthusiastic, highly professional and a logistical genius who works incredibly hard to make the trip perfect. The tour guide, Magz, had a …

Temples, Tombs and Pyramids

Where to start, a fantastic trip that has been on my list of places to visit for a while and did not disappoint. The trip was made by the people from Encounters who made sure that everything ran perfectly. Two special mentions: Khalifa who is the Cairo tour leader and organisation expert, an exceptionally friendly and helpful person who couldn't have done more for us. For example in Luxor the …

Encounters - Nubians & Beaches

We just returned from an incredible trip to Egypt with Encounters. My husband and I are not the type of traveler that usually does tours, but decided it might be a good idea in Egypt to make the trip more relaxing. Encounters staff in the UK prior to departure and during our trip were incredible – flexible, quick to reply to all emails and very professional. We lucked out and …

Encounters travel...is A top notch tour company with excellent guides. I enjoyed my travel to Egypt very much. I especially appreciated that Encounters Travel representatives were with us every step of the way! I will admit to feeling somewhat anxious about going to Egypt, but their attention to our safety and whereabouts eliminated those concerns. Our guide Sharif was simply exceptional. He not only shared historical information needed to appreciate …
