The walk into the square with Idris on the first evening (an extra night) was a bonus. Larger group, expected to be no more than 16, meant some longer waits for group members at supermarkets, but having a larger bus gave us plenty of room to spread out. Idris was very friendly, very helpful, very approachable and his easy going manner kept the mood of the group easy going.

typically small group travel experiences can be very new and enduring. However, this one was moved by the presence of overwhelming tourisths that complained about all things. Their demeanor made it challenging to have a posititive vacation experience. Our driver, Yousef, made all the difference for us. His pleasant, helful and attentative approach turned what could have been a bad experience into a very pleasant one. I was very amazed …

Highly organized and really helpful

I took one of the trips to Turkey and it was wonderful. The trip was very organized and everything was taken care of. When booking the trip, they were incredibly helpful and flexible. I would travel with them again.

Moroccan Mosaics - Encounters Travel

If this review covered just our guides throughout our trip to Morocco (Zouzou and Idris), I would give it 5* without hesitation. Warm, funny, engaging, extremely knowledgeable and always on hand to help out with the smallest of queries, both frequently went far beyond the call of duty on a regular basis. They were utterly and impossibly good hosts, even under the often unreasonable pressures put on them by some …

Spicy tagine tour

Our guides Zou zou and Idris were perfect hosts, very knowledgeable, and answered any questions put to them, with an honesty rarely found (even when asked some very intrusive questions by some more forthright tourers) We were a bigger than expected group of 43, and were split into two. This at times was frustrating due to some people wishing to spend longer shopping. The first week was very action packed, …

We went on this trip in March 2013 and we had a wonderful time, as it was a great way to see such a beautiful place. The overall trip was excellent value and the itinerary enabled us to experience the Maldives in so many ways and also with a small group. We did both of the now optional extras and the crew on the boat were very friendly and helpful …

Morocco 10 day LivingSocial Tour Review

At first, I was skeptical of purchasing this Livingsocial Deal through Encounters Travel, because I was not sure what to expect. I had never travelled with a tour group before, but with the time I had available, this seemed to be a good option! There was a wide variety of people traveling in the group - couples, friends, people going solo, and families. I was surprised by the diversity of …

A great adventure

I went on the Maldives Magic tour with my partner. Due to no other parties booking on the same date as us the tour itinerary was changed to exclude certain aspects, and add others. This ended up working out very well indeed and I would commend Encounters on their adaptability with such a high quality "plan b". The local guides used were fantastic and very knowledgeable. This definitely helped in …

Moroccan Mosaics

I went as a solo traveller and I wasn't disappointed with my experience on the Mosaics tour. My group were like minded and experienced all that the tour had to offer and there was a good mix of couples, family and single travellers. At no point did I feel isolated and with nothing to do. I feel that I got the full flavour of what Morocco had to offer and …

Morocco was wonderful

Booked with Will through Living Social deal. He was extremely helpful while booking & ended up being on our tour with us! Morocco itself was awesome. The tour was extensive & with that comes hours on the bus to travel. ZouZou & Edreese (our 2 guides) made it enjoyable & went the extra mile to keep us entertained. The highlight was the Berber camp & Dromedary (Camel w/ 1 hump) …

South Africa - The Garden Route 9 Day

The trip was beautiful! The cable ride to table top mountain should be promoted! Since I was traveling by my self. William, Encounters Travel. Matched me with a very nice young lady as a roommate. The tour guides were very friendly and knowledgable.. Would recommend this trip to my friends. The price for air,hotels and meals was very reasonable
