My wife and I recently visited Greece for 11 days. Encounter Tours made all arrangements for the two of us and it made our trip so much easier.

From the minute we exited the airport in Athens until we returned at the end of our trip, every taxi driver and tour van met us on time and delivered us to our next destination, exactly as planned. Chevy chose a wonderful variety of sites for us to visit both on the mainland and in the islands.

Tour guides were excellent and the accommodations were very good.

We also took a trip to Turkey with Encounter Tours a couple of years ago and it was fabulous. I would recommend Encounter Tours to anyone and look forward to more tours with them in the future.

Hi Chevy,
I'll be giving your contact information to a friend of my sister-in-law that will be contacting you to schedule some European tours.
We were all very pleased with your support and appreciate all that you did for us.

We were well accommodated and enjoyed our guides Yelcin and Sedat very much. The pace was a little fast, but I think that was because we wanted to see "everything" in just 11 days! We loved Cappadocia and our spectacular hot air balloon ride over it, Istanbul, Kas, Ephesus, everything. The people were lovely and the food was fantastic.

The three night cruise on a Turkish Gulet was a highlight; only manned by three young men, including the captain, a cook and a deck hand: we couldn't believe how wonderful the food was and we got to sleep on deck if we wanted to! Swimming in the Mediterranean right off the boat was SO fun and we even saw a turtle!

The only place we went that I would recommend against on the entire tour was the Gar Music hall in Istanbul. It was touristy and hoaky and the food was terrible, especially considering how much good food Istanbul has to offer.

My wife and I spent 6 days with Encounter Tours travelling to some of the well-known tourist spots.

Although this was a somewhat difficult summer for tourism in Turkey, all the arrangements had been carefully made and were completely followed, always on time. Tour guides were excellent, and travel arrangements and accommodation were very good. Pre-travel correspondence was always answered promptly and helpfully by
Chevy Noratli, who was also responsible for the planning.

We had a driver all to ourselves throughout Morocco which enabled us to spend whatever time we wanted at sites and change the itinerary as desired. It was great.

The driver was Berber and although his English wasn't great we did fine with a combination of English and French. In Fes and Marrekech we had fluent English guides. I would especially recommend the Riad El Yacout in Fes which was beautiful and had a wonderfully accommodating staff.

The organization of our trip by Encounter Tours and the attention paid to our particular wishes by Chevy S. Noratli couldn't have been better.

To Encounter Tours

On behalf of my friends and I, I would like to express our sincere thanks for the excellent tour.

From the time of our arrival at Istanbul airport, during the entire tour and to the time we were dropped off at Istanbul airport  for our flight back to Toronto, your arrangement was meticulous and perfect.  

Our special thanks to Mr. Sardar at the Ferman Sultan Hotel who was a real pleasure to talk with and Mr. Mahmoud who looks after breakfast and also guest services. The location of this hotel was a good choice because it was close to everything downtown.
  
We have recommended your tour company to many of our friends who will contact you when they are ready to travel.

Keep up the good work. 

Best Regards,
Nizarali Ratansi

Good Morning Sonya, I wanted to let you know that our trip to Turkey went smoothly and we were both very impressed with the travel company Encounter Tours.

Their organization was fantastic and both times we spoke to their representatives they were so helpful. Turkey was a very interesting and organized and safe country for tourist.

We hope that the situation in Egypt settles down and we can look at going there in 2014.

Hi Chevy

Just to let you know that everything worked out perfectly with your organization.

Hotels, locations, guided tours, balloon, restaurants, transfers and free time ended up to a perfect combination.

The hotel in Cappadocia, Has Cave Hotel was very nice, very familiar and we were very well received.
Just a low point there, the internal heating was not enough for the room, and even though they supplied an additional portable warmer, we never managed to feel completely comfortable there because of the low room temperature. 

Thanks for setting things up so fast.
Best Regards and Happy New Year
Manuel Sequeira

Just a quick note to thank you and your team for looking after us in. You made it into a wonderful holiday

that in general ran very smoothly. I really appreciated the care you gave us in Istanbul. We felt very welcomed into that small corner

near your shop front. I am sure that I speak also for Viv, Monica and Lakshmi.

Wishing you all every success for yourselves and those whom you love.

I just want to thank you so much for all of your assistance this summer. It was a pleasure meeting you and talking to you. First, let me say there was no comparison between the Stone Hotel and the Speectre....the Stone was much nicer! You were right!

Thanks for everything.
