An Amazing Experience

Everest From Tibet Discovery Tour

This was a superb trip with spectacular scenery and many glimpses of Tibetan culture. Everything was well organised and the standard of accommodation and food was higher than expected. Our Nepalese guide, Rajendra, was excellent: efficient, knowledgeable and very good company. He is also an expert naturalist and we saw a lot of wildlife that we might otherwise have missed.

A tough, hot, magnificent and amazing trip through Jordan!

Bike Jordan Dead 2 Red

As the headline says. It is tough, especially the beginning. You spend a lot of the time in steep uphills, add on the heat. We hade some 36 c in the shadow, but out on the road there is no shadow. So come well prepared. Jordan is truly amazing. What a landscape! Good food and very nice people too. The guide (Anas) and his crew is truly great. Both well prepared and with a lot of good information and sightseeing skills. If you are into history, the castles are great and the town Petra is spectacu lar. I won't say more about Petra. If you haven't been there you have to go. Dead Sea is also fantastic. The bike trip has as I said very steep uphill but also amazing downhill sections, a lot of very nice undulating gravel roads. Some parts of the trip were into heavy demanding sand were a high cadence is the only the solution. Apart of the sand, the rest of the travel could possibly be managed on a CX bike.

Good... but....

The Inca Trail and Beyond

We really enjoyed the trip. We had a really helpful guide. But perhaps one or two comments... First, be warned that booking closes when limited Inca Trail permits run out. This led to there being just my girl friend and I, and one other very pleasant lady joining us. Three. Not four to fourteen, as advertised at the bottom of this review page. So, err, intimate. Along with nearly a dozen equally pleasant local support staff, all of whom required tipping between the three of us at the end. The fi rst four days walking were STUNNING. Over an isolated pass, just our group. Surrounded by 5,000 metre Andean peaks. But be warned, once you join the Inca Trail, the world and his dog are there. The path becomes uneven stones, that have to be looked down at, concentrated on, rather than admire the still wonderful scenery. German, our ever helpful guide made a great decision to pull strings to amend the itinerary, such that we didn't go up over Dead Woman's Pass AND the following pass in one day, an amendment which I'd strongly recommend should become standard. And when you actually get to Machu Pichu- beware you don't get your eye poked out by all the posing day trippers there with their selfie sticks! I'd definitely go back to trek in Peru with German and his team, particularly if the party was a little larger. It was easier walking than the Manaslu trek in Nepal. The bit before the Inca Trail was superb. Personally, in the first couple of days, I could have done with a little less being dragged to Tourist Tat shops, but I suspect others might disagree. The first few days in Cusco are well spent looking around the Inca capital whilst acclimatising at 3,200m. The add on to the Galapagos was OK, but I wouldn't rush to do it again- spend a similar amount, spend less time travelling, and see similar stuff (as well as stunning scenery) in the southern tip of New Zealand. Be aware that despite being on the Equator, during the cold season in September, the Humboldt current is delivering icy Antarctic water to the Galapagos, which does attract a fascinating variety of whales and sharks-

KE Adventure reply

Thanks for your review. You are right to highlight the need to book early for this trip. The permit system is the only way to control numbers on the Inca Trail and from a sustainability point of view, we endorse this approach. This does mean that permits can run out before the group is full, although it is rare that this happens with only three people signed up. In your case, rather than cancel the trip due to being below our minimum, we were pleased to be able to offer the option of continuing. The key message here is "Book Early for the Inca Trail".

Kilimanjaro Rongai Route

Highly recommend the Rongai Route over 6 nights/7 days. We travelled in October (early) and we hardly met another group climbing until we reached Base Camp. The weather was good until the morning we began the final summit climb, when we had snow, winds and minus 16 degrees. However, this did not deter us and 10 of our 13 group reached the summit. I had never climbed at this altitude (5895 metres ) before and I only got a mild headache and a little nausea on the summit climb, however, others suff ered earlier. I do think drinking plenty of water helps as well having the extra day to acclimatise, I also took diamox. We had a team of 47 porters/guides led by Emmanuel. The whole team where fantastic and couldn’t have looked after us any better. I can highly recommend KE Travel as the whole holiday ran smoothly and all the staff from the KE office to the team leading the trek in Tanzania were helpful and professional. Can’t wait to book my next holiday.

Once again: KE Rocks

High Pastures of the Picos

What more can you ask for? The hospitable Spain, spectacular vistas, long but rewarding hikes, and a wonderful guide. Accommodations on this trip were very comfortable, with excellent meals every day. The local wine did not disappoint. Our guide Rosana couldn't have been more supportive, knowledgeable, and good-natured. I would gladly trek with her again. This is not an easy holiday, with some long days and long hikes featuring significant elevation gains. But the scenery rewards the effort . This was my third KE trip and each has been a five star experience. A tip: we arrived a few days early, rented a car, and visited Rioja wineries on our way to San Sebastian, which was a great city to spend a few days (with first class restaurants for the foodies). On the way back to Bilbao to start the trek we stopped at Guernica and San Juan de Gaztelugatxe. Great itinerary; I felt like we had a mini-vacation before we had even started our hike. Enjoy!

Beautiful Macedonia

Tastes and Trails of North Macedonia

This was my first trip with KE Adventure, and I was delighted with the week in Macedonia. Danko, our tour leader, was highly competent and responsible, choosing just the right hikes for the weather conditions. The mountains were glorious - much more so than I'd expected. And what can I say about the food?! Always plentiful, and always delicious. The people we encountered were consistently welcoming and generous. I would highly recommend this trip.

Cultural Granada to great walk and white villages

Walking in Las Alpujarras

Lovely relaxing trip visiting areas of Andalusia we haven't been to. Granada was excellent but recommend adding at least a day to trip for this, as by time arrive and need to leave for bus transfers there is limited time to see the sites. KE adventure booked the extra night in hotel for us. The walks were interesting and different to those we see in UK, giving insight into very different way of living. Guide notes clear, though the .gpx files were helpful, when not sure which sharp turn or track to ignore between waypoints. Each of villages we stayed in was very different, but be warned that many of restaurants weren't open in evening. This may have been time of year (Oct), but even in busy Pampaneira at the weekend, many were closed in evening. We still enjoyed the food we had each day. We travelled on public buses, which were prompt and reliable, and easy to book online. We also didn't buy any bottled water, drinking safely from local fuentes. Overall, this was a lovely experience, which we would recommend.

A new European experience

Walking the Albanian Alps

Our Albanian leader Erenik was so helpful and caring. He told us a lot about his country. Close contact with the Albanian people who were so friendly. We seemed to be immersed in a relatively new destination . It's history and culture were fascinating.

A little bit of Europe in the Indian Ocean

Reunion Island Paradise

Whilst getting there is a long haul from the UK via Mauritius, the final destination makes the travelling worth it. We arrived to see whales breaching in the sea near the airport runway and then met our guide Claire at the hotel. Claire is a local who knows the island and is an excellent leader for this trip. Whilst the distances on each day do not look on paper too long they are surprisingly hilly and in Claire's words 'efficient'. The accommodation is lovely in both hotels and r efuges and the early morning ascent to get the sunrise on the highest point of the Indian Ocean on Piton des Neiges is well worth the effort. A great trip all round. Advice - Pack light for the trekking phases as you will be carrying it, walking poles are well worth brining if you use them as the paths are very stoney and uneven in places.

Superb holiday to the summit of Madeira. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Levada Trails and Peaks of Madeira

Having travelled with KE many times i can honestly say this was up there as one of the best. A great mix of walking, climbing and being immersed in the culture of this wonderful island. Our guide Roberto was full of knowledge and enthusiasm whilst caring for our safety too. It was great to be in a group that gelled so well from day one we all became good friends by the end of the trip. The food, hotels and sea front bars were excellent. Overall a brilliant holiday!

Fantastic experience on my first trip to India.

Stok Kangri Climb

It was a great trip and most of the group reached the summit - my first 6000m peak and, by chance, it was on my 60th birthday! The crew did a great job and even made and decorated a cake for my birthday. The acclimatisation worked well in Leh and during the trek so the summit day, though tough, was manageable. The weather was mixed, with rain or snow some days, so go prepared..... There's quite a lot of free time in Leh before and after the trek - it's a pleasant place but not all that much to see, so go prepared for that too - book, cards etc. We played a lot of cards on out trip!

A holiday without negatives.

Mountain Trails of Lebanon

Not having been to Lebanon for twenty years I was very interested in seeing how this very interesting country would look after all that has happened there in the meantime. I wasn't disappointed in any respect. The walking was sometimes a little challenging but doable by all in the group. The "days off" were filled with visits to many historical and some modern aspects of Lebanon. Our guide Caroll and the driver Adib were an excellent team that were friendly, competent, with good l ocal knowledge and initiative when they needed to use it. In the eight days we stayed in seven different locations thereby getting a very varied and always positive impression of the country. I couldn't but recommend booking this trip if you are interested walking and life in ancient and or Modern Lebanon.
