Just returned from a truly awesome 6 day trip to Cairo and Luxor with Encounters. I could write for hours on this, but will keep to a few points.. Khalifa the tour manager was absolutely excellent - he literally couldn't have done more for us, he was friendly, enthusiastic, highly professional and a logistical genius who works incredibly hard to make the trip perfect. The tour guide, Magz, had a …
Where to start, a fantastic trip that has been on my list of places to visit for a while and did not disappoint. The trip was made by the people from Encounters who made sure that everything ran perfectly. Two special mentions: Khalifa who is the Cairo tour leader and organisation expert, an exceptionally friendly and helpful person who couldn't have done more for us. For example in Luxor the …
We just returned from an incredible trip to Egypt with Encounters. My husband and I are not the type of traveler that usually does tours, but decided it might be a good idea in Egypt to make the trip more relaxing. Encounters staff in the UK prior to departure and during our trip were incredible – flexible, quick to reply to all emails and very professional. We lucked out and …
Encounters travel...is A top notch tour company with excellent guides. I enjoyed my travel to Egypt very much. I especially appreciated that Encounters Travel representatives were with us every step of the way! I will admit to feeling somewhat anxious about going to Egypt, but their attention to our safety and whereabouts eliminated those concerns. Our guide Sharif was simply exceptional. He not only shared historical information needed to appreciate …
We had a fantastic tour and there we no major problems. The staff were very helpful.
The guides made the tour really awesome! Good planning and everything. Ahmed was GREAT from Luxor to Aswan and Khalifa in Cairo was awesome. Definitely tour with these guys. I could type more but really all you need to know is just book with them. One piece of advice ... tipping kitty, USE IT! Cheers! Elvo
The local partner in Jordan was extremely well-organized: prompt, attentive, and good-humored. We had a wonderful time and saw the highlights of Jordan, and were able to have the benefits of our well-educated guide Sami to share both historical knowledge and to learn more about life in Jordan.
My husband and I went on this tour in November 2014. It was an amazing experience. We had never been to India before and I think this was the perfect introduction to the country. Everyone involved with the tour were friendly, informative and helpful. Our driver throughout the nine day india express portion was a consummate professional and lovely person. Everyone has their own idea of what they want in …
I can really recommend to book a trip through ENCOUNTERS TRAVEL. Stumbled across them by accident when i was searching the net for best prices. Being from South Africa with the weak ZAR they came out tops. Booked the 10 day Anatolian Adventure. All entrance fees was included. Thanks to Mariska for always getting back to me immediately. The tour surpassed my expectations and the accommodation provided was mostly 5 …
Good response time to queries, booking process over email a little cumbersome
Very nice to have "hand holds" throughout, especially at Egyptian airports and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. Would recommend.
Very Prompt and efficient
