A great adventure with beautiful landscapes and a sense of achievement to trek i
Jordan's Dana to Petra Trek

Petra is rightfully a 7 World Wonder but has really changed. It is a crazy environment with tourists, horse and carts, camels, horses and donkeys competing for space around the site. Petra is huge and best taken in small chunks over a few days.

Walking in Portugal
Timeless Trails of Portugal's Algarve
The highlight of this trip - as noted by other travellers - were the hosts and accommodation. Jonny and Violetta are extremely warm, hospitable and friendly and went out of their way to make guests at home. Jonny was great company as he guided us on the walks and Violetta's food was extremely good and very generously portioned!! The setting on the farm is beautiful and tranquil and there is some lovely coastline in the area. The walking itself is probably closer to a Grade 3 (which wasn't an ... issue for me as I just wanted a nice break away) and was pleasant. The coast line and cliff-top walks were my favourite. Jonny was flexible with the walks and was able to suggest longer routes for those that wanted to extend the day's walking. It is probably worth highlighting the dogs and cats on-site. The dogs are all very friendly and for me, as a big dog lover, this was a big bonus on the trip. Thank you for a lovely holiday

Sunshine, great hikes, super tour leader
Trails of the Amalfi Coast

Extremely enjoyable week spent in and around Amalfi Carlotta, the tour guide, was absolutely sensational. Great knowledge about flora, fauna, history, politics, geography - an absolute fountain of knowledge Only slight downer was the hotel. Not for the first have I come across a hotel which believes that 'single supplement' paying customers should be allocated a small dingy room.

A life changing experience
Annapurna Circuit and the Thorung La

I had the greatest adventure on this trip, completing Thorung La Pass was a highlight, but the sheer beauty of this country, magnificence of all the landscapes, friendly people, superb guides and porters made it the holiday of a lifetime. Thank you KE

harder than expected
Jordan's Dana to Petra Trek
I think the KE difficulty rating for this holiday was optimistic - I should put it a couple of notches higher as there was some quite difficult terrain. It was a shame that there were only stools to sit on in the tents, so no backrests for a week. OK if you're twenty, but not at the other end of the age range. Some director's style chairs would have been as easy to transport and would have made a big difference to the comfort factor. Big disappointment was the final hotel at the end of the trek ... - unlike other hotels in Wadi Musa this was a DRY hotel, just what we didn't need after a week's trek!

Superb Walking Island
Levada Trails and Peaks of Madeira
What a fabulous way to see and experience the varied scenery of Madeira, and thanks to Roberto for being are superb guide, and such a chatty character. Throughout the trip, he shared his vast knowledge on all things associated with Madeira, ranging from culture, history, and origins of the diverse landscapes. The walks ranged from steep zigzagging cliff paths, gentle meanders along Lavada trails, and steep mountain paths, with the highlight being the ascent of Pico Ruivo (the highest point of ... Madeira) and the horseshoe ridge-walk around to Pico do Arieiro. It was also good to stay in a variety of locations on the island, enabling us to enjoy the views whilst being transported to hotels, and seeing the different towns where the hotels were located. The hotels we used were excellent, and although some had swimming pools, we didn't find the time to take advantage of a swim. All in all and excellent trip, and if you love walking and high jagged peaks, this is certainly a place not to be missed!

Walking in beautiful, Turkish countryside
The Lycian Way
The timing of the trip was excellent - the very beginning of the season, so places were very quiet. On some days we only saw 3 or 4 other walkers! Beautiful countryside, many different plants. Cool in the morning and evening, warm during the day. There were many sarcophagi and ruined cities which had been inhabited by Greeks then Romans then Byzantines before being plundered by Arab pirates. Glorious swimming spots - definitely bring water shoes! All the accommodation was great - small, empty ... hotels or guest houses and the group ate together every night. During our last day in Antalya we visited a small museum in the Old Town which had wonderful Ottoman costumes and old photographs. We also had a Turkish bath at the 600 year-old Sefi Hammam - that was brilliant. A final note of thanks to Ibrahim our guide, who did a wonderful job of communicating his enthusiasm for the history of Turkey and telling us about his own experiences. He also inspired us with his yoga.

More challenging than expected, not a lot of post-ride free time to explore
Road Cycle Tour of Toubkal
I recommend this trip to anyone looking for a challenging week of riding in an unusual place with ever-changing scenery and often spectacular terrain. This being Morocco, have an open mind and accept the place for what it is: do not expect luxury accommodations and modern touches. The riding was more challenging than we expected and we often arrived at the hotels near dinner time. This left little time to explore each place. Our guide Rashid was great but he spent little time on the bike and ... was mostly in the support van. All of us expected a guide to be on the bike with us every day for the full duration of each ride, and our understanding was that this was an anomaly and usually there is a guide riding the full route each day.

Wonderful walking holiday with lots of history
The Lycian Way
A wonderful week. Well organised by our excellent guide Ibrahaim. Nothing was too much trouble and he shared his knowledge and love of his country with us. The walking was hard and rocky underfoot but the views were amazing. Swimming in the sea at the end of a day walking was a highlight. The accommodation was small and friendly and the food delicious. Don’t expect much sleep in Antalya though as the hotel is very near restaurants and bars and is very noisy most of the night. Apart from that ... though, the hotels were really comfortable and we slept well after a day on the trail. A wonderful group of people and some very special memories. Can’t wait to visit Turkey again.

Superb holiday made even better by our charming guide
The Lycian Way
A fantastic week walking parts of the Lycian Way. Varied and delightful scenery, some long walks (longer than expected/advertised but our guide quickly and correctly assessed the group's abilities and adapted the itinerary to suit us). Every day we made new discoveries about this delightful part of the world. Ibrahim our guide has a a clear and genuine passion for the history and nature of the region which he was keen to share with us. His boundless energy and enthusiasm kept us all going ... through some long days which always finished with a delicious meal of fresh local food. Accommodation was generally very good and quite varied in style. Thank you KE, and particularly Ibrahim for a truly memorable holiday!

Amazing service from the Bhutan team
The Druk Path Trek

Camping doesn't feel like quite the right description, carpets in the tent, pillows and hot water bottles, fresh flowers on the dining table and evening entertainment from the trekking crew. When the females on the trip decided to go for a hot stone bath, there was a last minute arrangement for the guys to have a try at archery. Nothing was too much effort for the team and it really added to the enjoyment of the trip.

A fantastic trek in the Sahara
Edge of the Sahara Trek
A wonderful experience. A well structured trip. The guide was very knowledgeable and the food was incredible. Amazing views and very helpful crew. I thought this trek would be easy because of the grading - however walking across dunes in 42c is rather challenging and made it harder than I expected. This was a pleasant surprise as I love a good challenge! I wore my usual trekking boots (they have been to Nepal, Scotland ie cold and wet climates) and my feet were fine. Top tips for others: ... Walking poles are a must for the dunes and to prevent hands swelling (this happened within a couple of hours of not using them due to the heat) Take electrolyte tablets A wind proof lighter is handy (to burn toilet paper on toilet breaks) Carry sandals in day bag for lunch breaks The only which lets this trip down is the 10+ hour drive from Marrakech. However due to the location of the desert, I am not sure there is much of an alternative.

A great trek through some beautiful scenery with a stunning last day in Petra
Jordan's Dana to Petra Trek
Jordan is a welcoming country with some beautiful and varied landscapes. The Dana to Petra trek travels through rocky moonscapes, spectacular mountain passes and gorges and fertile valleys. We encountered few other tourists until we reached Little Petra and Petra, but passed by several Bedoin camps from which curious children emerged to watch us or sometimes young men to practise their English. We didn't get quite so much hot, sunny weather as we expected, apparently Jordan has just experienced ... the coldest, wettest spring for 50 years and we lay in our beds on the first night in camp experiencing crashing thunder, flashes of lightening and torrential rain, wondering whether the tents would stand up to it all. They did and we all emerged the following morning saying how much we had enjoyed the storm!! The final day in Petra is awe-inspiring and when your guide has finished taking you through all the main buildings I highly recommend making the effort to climb up through the gorge to the High Place of Sacrifice for a stunning view over the whole site and returning via Wadi al Farasa for another amazing descent through much more archeology.
