Egypt Tour - 3 Sept 2016

Wow where can I start! I found this deal through Living Social and after discussing with my husband, we said "Let's Do This"! Egypt has always been on our bucket list and so from the meticulous research on the tour to the actual booking of the trip, Ant Horrobin of Encounter's UK office was the best to work with. He answered every single question we had and even when their …

Don't delay the trip of a lifetime! (Discover Egypt 9-Day Tour)

I had already taken a big trip to London this year, so another trip abroad was not on my radar. But I'm SO glad I found the time and room in my budget to make it happen. The "Discover Egypt" tour with Encounters was absolutely the trip of a lifetime - we're talking "birthplace of civilization" stuff here, plus a ton of fun! The Tour Leader, Khalifa, arranged every little …

Discover Egypt Tour--Fantastic!

My friend and I found out about Encounters Travel through The Clymb (I get regular emails from this group that finds travel deals to offer to it's subscribers). It was an amazing price for a 9 day tour of Egypt. From the moment we booked until we had returned home we got excellent customer service. I live in the US and Encounters Travel is based in the UK, but email …

What an amazing experience in Egypt!

Had a wonderful time exploring Egypt with Encounters Travel. From the very beginning of booking the staff in the UK were extremely quick to answer emails and find answers for me. I found the group a perfect size (14) and the tour guide Waleed especially knowledgeable and helpful. Despite what is sometimes reported in the media, I never felt unsafe or threatened, but felt very welcomed by everyone into their …

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 …

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 …

Amazing!!

Before leaving the UK, Encounters Travel were amazing to deal with, having postponed the holiday from the year previous all arrangements were remade without any worries from ourselves. Arriving in Cairo we were met by Khalifa, Encounters Travel Cairo rep. A huge smile never left his face! We were spoilt from start to finish. Beautiful hotels throughout the tour where, again our needs came first. All the transport was air …

Egyptian Encounter with Encounters Travel

Just spent the last 10 days in and around Egypt with our tour company 'Encounters Travel'. Where oh where do I begin? This will take some time, so please, sit back, relax and enjoy this feedback! I've previously travelled to Egypt 11 times and this was my 12th trip. Was supposed to travel last year but owing to the uprising out there, the tour was cancelled until August 2014 at …

Internet purchase of a South African tour.

I got a Living Social announcement for North American travelers for a 1 week South African tour with a 50% discount. All the group joined in the same manner. I am not sure what the regular price would have been for this Garden Tour so I cannot discuss the deal. I could tell that the Encounters organization is very reliable. The preparation pamphlet is extremely important as it seems to …

Morocco, September 2012

Amazing trip and a great experience with Encounters. I bought the trip through Living Social with three other friends. From the start, the staff at Encounters were extremely easy and pleasant to work with. I'm in the DC area and they are a UK company so I found it easier to just email back and forth. I always received a reply to my questions within 24 hours. The trip included …

Encounters Travel Discover Egypt Tour a great experience

A friend of mine recommended the Discover Egypt Tour through Encounters Travel. We booked the trip in January and traveled in May. The staff at Encounters in UK was fantastic - thanks Anthony! The local staff in Cairo was also fantastic! Islam met us at the airport and guided us through the entire process. We had a small group of 8 and the BEST EGYPTOLOGIST - Mohamed. There were never …
