A 9-day tour of Egypt has a lot of promise. And boy did this tour live up the promise! Super Mo was the most fantastic tour guide and ambassador to Egyptian culture. He was thoughtful, honest, and went out of his way to ensure the trip was a success for everyone. I was impressed with every aspect of this tour: from booking to airport drop off. I will definitely book …
I have spent a collective 5 years of my life living abroad and have visited 80 countries ranging from organized tours to solo travel. This week in Egypt was bar none the most incredible travel experience to date. The pace was perfect, the sites amazing, the food incredible, and the people are kind and welcoming. Our tour guide, Super Mo, shared his incredible country with us and brought ancient history …
Our trip with Encounters Travel was amazing! Our tour guide Super Mo was THE BEST! He took care of everything so that we could sit back, relax and enjoy the ride! We got to see and experience everything in Egypt that we could ever wish to see in one trip! We tried some wonderful, authentic food, saw some amazing ancient sites, lots of history, and had great times with friends …
Our guide Mohamed AKA Super Mo made this trip beyond amazing, everything was taken care of from transportation to accommodations. There was not a day that went by that Super Mo didn't teach us something new such as haggling for better prices to life and culture of the ancient Egyptians. Super Mo shared his life, culture, and knowledge of his country and embraced us like family instead of tourists, Encounters …
Visiting Egypt has been a childhood dream and after years of solo travel I booked this tour with Encounters and it exceeded expectations! It was a complete opposite of what I had experienced with tour groups from my childhood in that Encounters organized the itinerary seamlessly! We were personally ushered by our guide, Super Mo, to every attraction without having to wait at all for tickets, and the timing for …
I've been on many guided tours throughout the years and this was by far the most enjoyable. Our tour guide Super Mo (short for Mohammed) is an Egyptologist and brought all the of ancient mythology to life, including having us act out a short play that explained the genesis of the ancient Egyptian gods. We saw the Great Pyramids and Sphinx, Antiquities Museum in Cairo, Abu Simbel, Temple of Philae, …
One word: AWESOME. Well worth the money given the excellent itinerary. You see all of the major monuments, temples, museums, markets and culture. The tour guide had a doctorate in the Egyptian archeology with over 20 year experience. There wasn’t one question from the group he couldn’t answer and his English was excellent. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Beyond expectations. Tour was flawless from the airport connections to the backpackers lodges. Our guide Wendy with earthstompers was superb.
