From the airport pickup to end tour, everything was well organised and smoothly executed. Ahmed was particularly helpful in organising train tickets and seeing us to the train at end of tour. Aymon our guide was outstanding, the depth of his knowledge was excellent and he imparted it clearly and answered all questions. His attention and care for every member of the tour was good particularly looking after one member …
The trip exceeded all of our expectations from the minute we were collected at the airport to the minute we were taken back there again. Petra, Jerash, Wadi Rum were all stunning, the Dead Sea was an amazing experience as was the hospitality of all we met. Ibrahim, our guide and the driver regularly went well beyond the call of duty for our group. A holiday our family will never …
We had a wonderful experience with Encounters for our Egypt tour. Everything was great, from booking, pre-trip communication, accommodations, transfers, guides and drivers. We anticipated a "small group" tour but we were the only couple who booked this particular week. To our surprise, we had a guide and driver all to our selves! Our guide in Luxor did need to make some adjustments to the itinerary due to changes in …
This tour was excellent. Everything was well organized and put together and the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable. I always felt safe and taken care of. I feel like I was able to get the most out of my time on this tour.
Brilliant tour, great value for money, the guides were great, very knowledgeable, and a good laugh. Lots of additional excursions we otherwise wouldn’t have got to see if travelling alone. Happy it was a small tour when we seen other larger tours at different sites. Good pace to see lots in a short space of time. Would happily recommend to anyone
I just returned from an Encounters Travel trip called “Jordan and Egypt Express” and the trip was amazing. Everyone at Encounters was fantastic with special mention going to Marika for all the help with our reservation, our guides Ebrihim (Jordan) and Mohammed in Egypt with his local Encounters Rep in Cairo Ahmad. This trip lived up to all that it was advertised. You literally get to see so much of …
We recently did a trip to Jordan and Egypt and we had a stellar and miraculous experience. The guides in the tours were incredible. And I want to comment on all the negative reviews. If you dont want a long bus ride, book a different tour. I enjoyed seeing the real egypt and jordan by bus and traveling through the Sahara and villages. People who are complaining are spoiled and …
I took the Jordan / Egypt express tour and it exceeded my expectations. The people, culture, ancient sites, tour guides- all were fantastic!
A great experience, cruising around the beautiful turquoise coast. Swimming in beautiful spots with occasional trip to shore. Crew friendly, boat comfortable and food good. Be prepared to rough it a bit although we'll proportioned the cabins are very hot and also noisy if motor or generator is going Most people sleep some or all of the night on deck.
Great experience. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. Trip was very rugged at times and that’s ok because it was experiencing a different place than where we were from. Highly recommend but keep an open mind and go with the flow
Absolutely brilliant guide Super Mo who was so helpful and knowledgeable. We saw so much amazing cultural and historical sites of Egypt. The people are the friendliest I have ever met
My son, 13, and I did the « Best of Jordan» tour and really had only best days the whole week over. We found out in Jordan that there were only the 2 of us in the group, so we could ask our driver for some tailor-made changes. The hotels, our driver and guides were very good; my son best enjoyed the Wadi Rum and Dead Ses part, where we …
