Salt flats and volcanoes of Bolivia

Salt Flats and Volcanoes of Bolivia

Excellent varied trip with great scenery and cultural content. Tough trekking to 5000m but the scenery was amazing. And the guide Juan was a great ambassador for all things Bolivian, mountaineering, flora and fauna. If you want to experience one of the most scenic countries in South America, go on this trip.

Lots of spring flowers

Levada Trails and Peaks of Madeira

Spring is a good time to visit Madeira. The wild flowers are at their best and water is flowing through the Levadas (probably does so year round)

Not having done enough research before the trip I wasn’t aware that Madeira was quite so hilly which made for interesting travel. Around the coast masses of tunnels have been burrowed through, but away from the coast the roads are steep and very twisty. If you are not a good traveller, you will need plenty of Gravol.

The hikes were a good ... mixture of ups and downs, with the reward of great scenic views and some level walking alongside the Levadas, and of course the flowers.

Hotels were comfortable and meals good and plentiful. Nice to have 2 nights at some stops.

Then Andreas “drink more water”, the guide. Full of knowledge, stories and advice. He kept his eye on the laggards (me) with help, while chatting with those we passed on the trail, especially the youngsters. He clearly loves his job.

Fantastic week's walking, with a first-class guide

Walking the White Mountains of Crete

Crete exceeded all expectations and the mountain walking was brilliant. The whole trip was made very special due to the competence, knowledgeability and sense of humour of our guide throughout the trip, Alice. She smoothed any minor issues, using her charm, good Greek and existing relationships with many of the taverna and resaurant owners. We were lucky in that the Sahara sandstorms and earthquakes which occured during our week didn't derail our plans - but if they had, Alice was well able to ... sort out alternatives. The ascent of Gingilos (1980m; located above the Samaria Gorge) was a great start - quite challenging terrain but a straightforward route. Very spectacular views. We stayed two nights in a family-run pension in Omalos. On the second day, our descent of the Samaria Gorge was delayed until most of the crowds had gone - making it a pleasant walk and cooler than earlier in the day due to the sun angle. A semi-rest day at Agia Roumeli (staying in another family-run pension) allowed for swimming and a local walk to a fort. Next morning we set off on a very scenic coastal walk, stopping at a taverna with no road access for a wonderful lunch. The coastal walk then continued to Loutro, where we caught a boat to Sfakia, where we stayed in a pension run by three brothers - who were great hosts. Just beware the raki; an appearance after every meal! Our first day's walk from Sfakia was ascending Pachnes, which is the highest of the Lefka Ori peaks (and only 5m short of Crete's highest mountain, Psiloritis). This involved a ride up to Anopolis, then onward up the shepherd's road to the roadhead at around 1800m. The landscape is quite special, with a high-altitude karst desert. The local shepherds move their flocks through this unique landscape - and the only thing which has changed in millennia is the use of pick-up trucks rather than walking. After the descent, we had a wonderful lunch in Anopolis, at the taverna I visited in 1982, when we presented the owner with a survey of the cave Drakolaki (Dragon's Cave) which we'd explored and surveyed the year before. It was fantastic to see that the survey was still on the taverna wall. The shepherds we walked in the mountains with all those years ago are now gone - but we met their sons, as well as the son of the original owner of the taverna. Quite a magical afternoon! The final walk was the Aradena Gorge, accessed by boat, followed by another excellent lunch in Anopolis - then a modest climb up before descending the zig-zag path to Loutra. The Aradena Gorge is much less busy than the Samaria - but just as spectacular. This is quite a flexible day; anyone wanting to could get a lift down from Anopolis, or a boat from Loutro - or walk the coat path to Sfakia. The final night was followed by a drive back to Chania in a growing dust storm! We actually spent the week before the walking holiday on Crete (Agia Galini) and the week after in Chania. I was maybe concerned that Crete might have lost some of its charm - but it really is as fantastic as it was 40 years ago.

Inca Trail

Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

I am ONLY using KE for my travel adventures. This is my third time using KE. It was supremely easy to book, correspond with and work with the entire team while planning this trip. Once we arrived, the ease of meeting with people from KE / local agent was a delightful experience through and through.

Uriel was the BEST part of the trip! He was so knowledgeable and allowed us time for questions. He took excellent care of us and our group. He was so funny! He has a wonderful sense of humor, and ... he really was the glue that brought our group together. I cannot say enough of how wonderful he was, right until the point he dropped us off for the final goodbye after our train was essentially broken for five hours. He made sure we were all take care of, despite it being his last day and being an exhausting day at that. I cannot express how wonderful he is - we would love to take more treks with him where we can! He is a friend for life.

It was a great trip

Tastes and Trails of North Macedonia

Fantastic walking, great food, lovely weather and nice helpful staff in the hotels. Nearly all food was included so didn't need much spending money. Also drinks were cheap so added bonus! The hotels were all nice and a better standard than I expected.

Enjoyed all the hikes. Lots of beautiful flowers and interesting scenery. Fantastic views. Good varied walks. I found the walk on day 3 quite hard but that's because I live in a fairly flat area so I'm not used to such sustained accent! I had ... no problem with the other walks and thought the trip was fairly graded and I enjoyed it.

Danko is a really great guide.He was very safety conscious, swapping walks due to weather conditions and asking us if the walking pace was ok. Very patient and gave clear and concise briefings and timings. Also answered all our questions.

Wonderful experience

Walking Camino - The Portuguese Way - 1 Week

This was a fun trip with my younger son to celebrate my retirement. It really lived up to all of our expectations in terms of logistics, experiences, and just a lot of fun. This was a perfect trip to go on as self guided as that seems to be the esssnce of how the Camino works. I know that my family and I look forward to many more such adventures. Thank you so much!

A wonderful week

Walking Slovenia's Lakes and Mountains

It was a wonderful week, meeting new friends, going out in nature, hiking and enjoying lake Bled and its nearby mountains and valleys. Money well spent for a week of hiking, exploring, eating and bring with like-minded people. The hiking itinerary was well planned. The hiking leader was exceptional and Masa went over and above the call of duty. Also, the hotel in lake Bled was well situated, its staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were filling and nutritious.

Staff at KE ... Adventures were very helpful, patient, efficient and prompt in their responses to my queries and/or comments.

We were met at the airport and transferred to the hotel as planned. During the hiking week, our hiking leader also served as our van driver. Masa was a conscientious and careful driver along some twisting and narrow roads. Hats off to her.

Masa was a strong, competent and conscientious hike leader. She always kept an eye over everyone in the group regardless of hiking skill. She even made the effort to bring the van closer to where the group sheltered during a hail storm. Very considerate of her. She provided insight into the various trails and hikes we did and was friendly and Accommodating. Superb hike leader!

The hiking schedule was well planned. It allowed our hiking leader to be flexible and re-arrange the itinerary depending on the day's weather. Moreover, a free day was welcomed by all in the group.

100% delighted

Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon

The trip delivered everything we wanted it to be. An incredible experience with fantastic people. This was a special 50th birthday trip for me, and it lived up to every expectation. I have never been on an organised trip like this with so much in the way of additional support, but for an adventure like the Everest marathon, this was just perfect and there was never a moment where I felt I could have done it any other way.

Sonam was the perfect leader. Funny, knowledgeable, entertaining and ... caring. He made us all feel at ease, and clearly looked out for every one of us as individuals. The track was perfect in terms of the distance each day and the altitude gain. It was also great to have two acclimatisation days where we climbed higher and came back down.

Hiking, swimming and fabulous meals in the Algarve

Timeless Trails of Portugal's Algarve

Our experience was great from the moment Jonathan picked us up at the airport to the moment he dropped us off. In between, he lead us through and excellent selection of fabulous and scenic hikes through valleys, along seaside cliff tops, across wild beaches and into the Atlantic for end of hike swims. These hikes generally ended in local pubs for a celebratory afternoon drink. As a bonus, Isabella gave us a boogie board lesson during a beach lunch stop. It was so much fun! To keep our ... energy up, Violeta kept us well fed with amazing homemade breakfast, lunch and dinners, prepared with many organic ingredients from her garden.
Isabella also led us in early morning yoga stretch sessions which was a great way to start each day.
Thank you to the entire family for an outstanding week of hiking and hospitality.

Fantastic trip

Slovenian Family Adventure - Julian Alps

Another fantastic trip with KE. This one really surprised me and I have not stopped raving about it. Best trip ever for me personally. Stunning countryside. We nipped into Austria and Italy a few times in the course of the week for various activities. Great local guides starting with Hana who was just brilliant with our 14 year old daughter. She was encouraging without being pushy, accommodating and really knowledgeable. We were lucky to have her all to ourselves as the only family on the ... trip. She's a gem. I can't praise or thank her enough.

Unforgettable views from the balcony. Hotel was lovely and the staff couldn't do enough for you. Food was varied and plentiful and indoor pool much appreciated after activities.

Personally I would not say it was a grade 2 trip having done one with KE previously. Maybe I'm just getting old!

I didn't think you could top day one - hiking to the waterfalls, delicious wild mushroom soup and apple strudel at the mountain hut - but honestly it's tough to pick a highlight. Rafting was brilliant and the guys made sure everyone was well looked after while also making it lots of fun.

Slovenia is amazing and so clean, we will definitely be going back and taking more family with us.

If you want to make memories that will last a life time, book it. You won't regret it.

Beautiful and tranquil

Hiking Greece's Menalon Trail

Who knew Greece was so green? This was a wonderful week’s walk, with so many unexpected elements - the highlight was the sheer number and size of the high meadows full of wild flowers. Plenty of woodland walks and gorgeous open views. The villages we stayed in along the way were all charming, the hotels were comfortable and spotlessly clean, and the local people were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

It was a dream trip

High Pastures of the Picos

The quality of the trip was outstanding. The drive between hotels across the remote area was such a unique journey and complete surprise that it surpassed all my expectations. The guides were amazing and the walks were a challenge and wonderful. However from booking to the end of the trip the professionalism of your staff was great too. Well organised, great group and Bruno and taxi drivers etc were all great. The area is so beautiful. I learnt many things from the flora and fauna as to how to ... walk safely and better.
