- Ppaul· December 30th, 2023My wife and I previously used Encounters Travel for a vacation to Egypt and Greece and therefore jumped at the opportunity to use them for our journey to Jordan. The expectations bar was high given our previous trips being absolutely amazing and something we wanted to replicate in many areas. It delivered from the encyclopedic knowledge of our guide, Omar, who explained the historical significance of various sites encompassing the folklore of the civilizations responsible for such wonders such as the temples, amphitheaters around Amman, As-Salt, Jerash, and all the way to the remoteness of Wadi Rum plus who could forget the marvels of Petra with its Hellenistic design. The highlights were many with floating on the waters of the Dead Sea being magical. The accommodations were mentioned as being "3 Star" which was a standard room wasn't an issue as who is trying to stay in their room with everything there is to explore in Jordan. One improvement or thing to note is the preservation of water in Jordan might mean if you're taking a shower at a particular hour expect it to be freezing cold. During the trip, we were provided bottled water; however, the water was never cold. It would have been nice if the refrigerated unit used to hold the water on the coach bus worked and would keep the water cold. The expectations for the culinary choices were something my wife and I got particularly thrilled with offerings such as Makloubeh, yet nothing could beat the desert item called Kanafeh that was scrumptious and if you're into Baklava, there is no shortage of places to purchase. Encounters Travel gets both thumbs up for the trips and locations they put together and we will definitely use them for future travel adventures.Show more

Our guide, Amer was exceptional. He treated us like family. Every moment was better than I imagined it would be. From the warmth and kindness of the people, to the ancient culture, the food, the history, the desert, Petra, Jerash, the Jordan River, and the Dead Sea was out of this world. I have a great love for this Country and would recommend this trip to anyone, of any culture or background.Show moreEncounters Travel commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to review your Jordan Tour Gabrielle, we are so happy you loved Jordan, a hidden gem!Trip date: January 2023

- ABAnnemarie· August 29th, 2022My son, 13, and I did the « Best of Jordan» tour and really had only best days the whole week over. We found out in Jordan that there were only the 2 of us in the group, so we could ask our driver for some tailor-made changes. The hotels, our driver and guides were very good; my son best enjoyed the Wadi Rum and Dead Ses part, where we added a day, as well as some days in Aqaba on the Red Sea. We really appreciated the multi-facetted programme as well as the friendliness of all the people in the programme and on the streets we came in touch withShow moreEncounters Travel commented on this reviewHi Annemarie, the kind words you’ve shared in this five-star review mean the world to us.

Trip date: August 2022 - MWMarianne· April 3rd, 2022The whole tour went to plan. The tour guide and drivers were always punctual and good natured. The hotels were 3-4 star and adequate. The breakfast at the Sun Rock was not good at all. However the other accommodations were good. Our tour guide Youssof was the best- very knowledgeable and patient. Very friendly and sincere. The lunch restaurants we were taken to were superb. Youssoff made the trip memorable for us. The highlights of the trip were Petra and the early morning camel ride at Wadi Rum. Followed by the Dead Sea swim and Mount Nebo. Great experience all in.Show moreEncounters Travel commented on this reviewDear Marianne, Thanks for taking the time to get back to us with your feedback, and thanks for the great rating too!I'm really pleased to hear that you had a good time on the tour and that you felt the guide and driver provided you with good service....
