Nubian adventure was great, the guide made a difference

Just finished my Nubian adventure over Easter break.. .Pros - price, information and preparation before trip, excellent guide (Walid), the food- good cheap eats- good food on the road and in the hotels, while the food aboard the felucca was awesome, trip was well planned (early morning departure to avoid heat) Cons- the felucca is slow moving so we did not go that far, but it was still a unique …

Nubian Adventure-Egypt

Wow what a week I had in Egypt. I recommend this tour to people who like to get out of their comfort zone but have a nice hotel to come back to every now and then. Our tour guide Waleed was amazing. Very knowledgeable and looked after us really well. The Felucca ride was great, but bring a sleeping sheet and sleeping bag to keep warm at night. Cheap water …

Nubian adventure: fun time with great guide

We can really recommend to book a trip through Encounters travel. From the moment our plane landed we were taken care of by absolute professionals. The tour guide, Waleed, was amazing - he had a lot to do with our excellent rating of our trip. He was extremely knowledgeable about ancient Egypt, yet also showed us how ordinary Egyptians of today think and live. We appreciate that he was always …

best tour company yet

greeted at airport before visa, escorted to pick up straight to hotel, excellent staff, fantastic tour guide who was Egyptologist. Great hotels, extremely well organised, tour guide was very friendly and super helpful. Best tour company i've been with and i've been with quite a few! Egypt was the best tour i;ve done. Amazing, felt totally safe the entire time.

Magical Morocco!

We are wrapping up our trip in Morocco now, and it has been a fantastic experience. I can't say enough good things. I wanted to write to commend our tour guide Mohamed and our driver Nabeel. They went out of their way to make sure this trip was smooth and fun. It was an experience of a lifetime, thanks to their non-stop hard work. Please pass along my many thanks …

Thank you Encounters

I bought the Nubian Adventure 9-day Egyptian tour for mr daughter and I, as I'd been promising here a trip to Ancient Egypt for 22 years!! This trip was absolutely everything we hoped it would be - and more! We saw everything on our "wish list" plus a couple of other temples and tombs. Our guide (Sam) was brilliant! What he didn't know about Egypt wasn't worth knowing, and he …

Encounters Travel - Jordan is a definite YES

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G best describes the Encounters Jordan tour...not a single complaint - the hotels were CLEAN, comfortable, and definitely 4/5 star. The people tasked with guiding and driving us around were amicable, friendly, always smiling. Every effort was made to accomodate any extra request (such as multiple spice market stops, fossil hunting, and pomegranate searching). We felt as though we were part of the warm family and treated as best guests. …

From Cape Town to Port Elizabeth Via the Garden Route

I toured South Africa with Encounters Travel in February 2013. I am glad that I took the trip. The two guides were great. They were very friendly and knowledgeable and made everyone feel comfortable. The accomodations were excellent. The planned activities were fun and informative. I would definitely use Encounters Travel again for a trip.

I Encountered South Africa with Encounters Travel

In January 2013, I was lucky enough to be on the Garden Route tour through South Africa's amazing Cape Town. I recon the activities and sights can't get any better than this as far as Cape Town tours are concerned Accommodation was excellent for most of the tour, breakfasts, lunches and dinners were adventuresome and as far as the tour leaders were concerned, they were two top notch people. My …

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 …
