Fantastic service for a trip of a lifetime

My partner and I recently had a two-week holiday in Turkey, organised through Encounters Travel. We wanted something tailored to our interests and availability, and Gavin at Encounters created a bespoke version of an existing tour for us. As we worked out what this tour might involve, it necessitated quite a few questions and answers going back and forth, as we refined our plans. Each time Gavin was very prompt …

Excellent, well organized tour with terrific guides. We covered so many interesting and significant geographical and historical sites. The accommodations were fine and the small group was an added bonus. My only comment would be to eliminate the home stay in Jordan and perhaps spend a day in Aqaba? In Egypt the days in Hurghada were pleasant but the food was most disappointing.

We had an amazing tour in both countries. Loved our guides. Our Jordan guide was the best we have ever had. Saw some magnificent antiquities and had some memorable experiences. We made some friends from our tour which made the tour even more special.

This was a great tour! I really lucked out because I had other travel plans fall through and came to Jordan with only about 24 hours notice and less than a week before this tour started (fortunately another group had already booked one in my available time frame and I was able to tag along) Food was great (note: I'm not a vegetarian), sites were amazing, and Amer was a …

Wish I could rate Encounters higher! From the onset, Anthony (Ant) was professional and extremely knowledgeable, and far more helpful than I had hoped. He always had time to respond to my inquiries and never showed any sign of frustration...no matter how many times I asked the same question. Meeting Saul at the Cairo airport shows just how valuable the RIGHT travel rep is: he had us go from the …

Incredible India!

Just finished up the Incredible India tour, what an amazing experience! If you’re expecting every modern comfort and can’t be in the heat too long, this might not be for you. However, you would miss out on the experience to taste the most flavorful, colorful, and energetic culture that exists in this world. I would describe this tour as a Golden Triangle+ (it goes to a couple more towns/villages) On …

Amazing experience with a world class organization!

I just returned home from the Pharonic Encounters tour and I’m extremely impressed. The care, professionalism, knowledge and hospitality my whole family received from the Encounters staff was incredible. We were lucky to have Big Mo as our tour guide. I think the “Big” part refers to his vast knowledge of Egyptology as well as his heart. He exceeded every expectation and was so good with our 9 and 6 …
