Jordan on a Shoestring, but no shortage of memories!

What a great time I had with my tour mates in Jordan along with our awesome guide, Mo-Bani, and our steady driver, Khaled. Together with Mariska at Encounters, they're the dream team! I had a few cirumstances unique to my travel -- added tour to a longer trip abroad -- Mariska handled this with ease and a friendly vibe. She provided multiple options I hadn't thought of after research and …

TRIP OF A LIFETIME! (Thanks Mostafa and Mahmoud!!)

To say that this trip was incredible is the understatement of the year! Encounters Travel was with us every step of the way making our adventures seamless and easy. We paid for a group tour but lucky enough no one else booked that week so it was just my Mom and I! It was absolutely insane! Twice on our trip our awesome tour manager Ahmed gave us free upgrades, first …

Second Time Around

This is the second time I've used Encounters for my vacation and I would book through them again. This time we did their "Jordan on a Shoestring" tour and very much enjoyed it. Our guide, Mo-Bani Nasr, was fantastic and really made the vacation memorable. He was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. While booking, Mariska Knoesen was always very patient and helpful. I look forward to traveling with them in the …

Discover Egypt Tour with Encounters Travel was amazing

My 13 year old daughter and I just spent 12 days in Egypt with Encounters Travel. We can not speak highly enough of our Discover Egypt tour. Right from when we were met at Cairo airport to when we departed we had expert tour guides, amazing accommodation and everything was organized perfectly. We can not fault anything for the whole time we were there. We’d like to say a special …

Gods of Egypt

We did the 10 day Gods of Egypt tour and it was of the best vacations I've had. Our tour guide Sharif was knowledgeable and very social. Sharif never missed a heartbeat and went our of his way to take care of our needs. The other guides were also fantastic, but Sharif made this trip remarkable.

Gods of Egypt - Wonderful Tour, Will Book Again with Encounters

We wholeheartedly recommend Encounters Tours and the Gods of Egypt Tour! Egypt has been on our wishlist for a very long time, but traveling during Covid made us nervous. We needn't have worried. There are very few tourists headed to Egypt (at a couple temples we were the only party), and Encounters took care of or prepared us for every detail from the moment we landed until we left with …

Amazing trip!!

We the most amazing time in Egypt! Our tour guides “Big Moe” in Cairo and Abudi in Aswan and Luxor and Mohammed in Hurghada were wonderful! They were informative, courteous and ensured we had the best experience! We went ballooning over the Valley of the kings, sailed and slept on a falluca in the Nile. Visited The Nubian people and Bedouin tribes, rode camels and went down in the Giza …

AMAZING Jordan trip.

I took a solo trip to Jordan and my guide (Mo Bani Nasr) made what would’ve been a great trip AMAZING! A passionate, knowledgable guide makes all the difference in the world. It was beyond just learning and seeing, it was experiencing Jordan! I would absolutely book with this agency again.

Yes, book with Encounters - you won't regret it!

An amazing trip was coordinated by Encounters Travel. From the minute you step off the plane, you are greeted by a representative who assists you with your Visa and takes you to your hotel. Saul was very helpful if a little taciturn but thankfully he was not our tour guide. Big Mo was our tour guide and he was the best!!!! Big Mo shepherded us through all of Egypt and …
