- ARuth Hood· December 30th, 2019Extremely unprofessional tour guide.Trip date: June 2019Review collected by Encounters Travel
- ADarren goatz· December 30th, 2019The trip was interesting but the organisation and effort put forth on the trip was rather weak. We had no real help from our tour guide with pushy locals.Trip date: June 2019Review collected by Encounters Travel
- AMike Cullen· December 30th, 2019Have a local tour manager trash talk us to other guests is terrible.Trip date: June 2019Review collected by Encounters Travel
- AMathey Conby· December 30th, 2019There were too many issues with the tour. Our felucca got rammed into in the middle of the night and nothing got done about it - as if though it never happened. Also our guide wasn’t any good either.Trip date: June 2019Review collected by Encounters Travel
- AJaimeleigh Sakazar· December 30th, 2019Jordan was worth it. Egypt was not. I did not learn much from the guide. We were promised a coach bus but was given a tiny van. Everything was a hassle.Trip date: June 2019Review collected by Encounters Travel
- AJohn Reis· December 30th, 2019A "coach" and a mini-van are not interchangeable for an overnight trip. The correspondence about this was unacceptable! Everything else was excellent!Trip date: March 2019Review collected by Encounters Travel
- AJennifer· December 30th, 2019Loved everything about this tour, especially the Felucca!
