Poor connection between the companies to help customers.

Very poor. At the begining, after closing the transaction with Groupon, neither one of the companies were able to help me.

Amazing Adventure!!

If you want a good taste of Egypt. This was a great tour to do it. We had Sheriff as our tour guide and he was excellent. If you needed something sorted out at the hotel or anything else to make your experience amazing, Sheriff was the man. He had so much information about Egypt and very experienced. He is a funny guy and super friendly. The tour included the …

Good choice of tours . Easy to book online

I liked the variety of tours to choose from. It was easy to book online. They had a very good “special” which ideally suited us.

Egypt is Safe

We did the Nubian Adventure with Encounters Travel in February 2018 and am happy to say that Egypt is a very safe country to visit. Everywhere you turn there are police or other security and I didn’t ever feel like it was necessary. Most Egyptians are polite and mind their own business. As with most travel destinations there are shop owners peddling souvenirs. Westerners will probably find them aggressive. They …

Our family trip of a lifetime

Thank you so much, Encounters, for an amazing experience that will stay with my family for a lifetime on our Discover Egypt tour. When we first arrived, one of the first things that Eslam said to us was that now that we were a part of the family and throughout the trip, I felt that everyone we met in Egypt embraced this idea. I cannot say enough about our guide, …

Must travel to Egypt - and through Encounters Travel!

If you have any interest in seeing the Antiquities of Egypt, this is the perfect time to go, and the BEST tour company to use is Encounters Travel. I found them on Trip Advisor and realized very quickly that it was the right decision. They are dedicated to making your trip successful in every sense of the word. They treat their clients like family, and we learned that in Egypt, …

Encounters Travel fulfilled #1 on my travel bucket list. 2018 is a great time to visit Egypt. The Arab Spring has long passed and tourism will continue to grow. You know the news media always makes events seem scarier than they actually are. I'm so glad I visited when the sites are less crowded. I did not feel "in danger" at any time. Armed guards are provided at all the …

Encounters Travel - Egyptian Tour

I took the Nubian tour in November of 2015. It was an excellent tour and I'm very happy I went. My wife had some concerns and no interest, but I had no concerns and much interest. I always felt safe during my entire travel. What made the trip so excellent and memorable was our guide, Waleed Kamouna, he was knowledgeable and hospitable (… add any other favorable adjective). Waleed was …

Loved our Guides

This is the first tour we have ever taken. Usually we go and explore on our own. Islam Gaber and Waleed Kamouna were the most caring, personable, and happy people you could ever ask for. They bent over backwards to make sure everyone was happy which can be hard in a group setting. They accomplished it. By the end of the trip we were sad to leave as we felt …
