High Tatras
High Tatras Trekking - The Carpathian Mountains

Top class service on the two times I have used KE. [Our guide] did a great job on guiding - was informative and had a great sense of humour.

Efficiently organised
High Tatras Trekking - The Carpathian Mountains

KE and Jakub made it very easy to explore the High Tatras with an interesting itinerary that would be difficult for an independent solo traveller to organise. Plenty of good food and more comfortable accommodation than expected.

A nicely varied trip
Mount Ararat - Turkey's Sacred Summit

A nicely varied trip, with cultural and relaxation opportunities as well as climbing the mountain. The summit day is a big day, but otherwise the exercise is manageable. Ibrahim was outstanding. He was a mine of information on cultural and historical matters, a very likeable man with an excellent sense of humour, and was always attentive to the needs of the group.

Great itinerary
Fjords and Fjells of the Lofoten Islands

The lofoten trip was well organised, had a great itinerary and was well led. [Our guide was] wonderful in every way - friendly, professional manner, knowledgable, watched out for individual needs of group
members super organised. Delicious home cooking by our tour leader giving us an experience of Norwegian food.

Brilliant trip
Traverse of the Jotunheimen

Brilliant trip hiking through a variety of stunning scenery (everything from glacier and boulder fields through to grassy valleys and forests), all of it led by our excellent guide Richard. Two tips: 1) make the effort to climb Kyrkja, the views are fantastic, and 2) the drying rooms at the huts were very good so take some washing powder for hand washing clothes.

Excellent customer service, a great range of trips, and excellent in-country team
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu

This was excellent. Our guide, Rudy Arqque, was really well informed and passionate about his country and very positive in attitude. The grading was pretty accurate-this was a challenging trek with big ascents and descents, but we also had time to enjoy the Inca sites in depth.

KE have always given us a fantastic experience with knowledgeable and helpful guides
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu
The trip was challenging, but fantastic. We really appreciated being so remote, and meeting local people along the way. Choquequirao was amazing and we really appreciated being there with so few visitors. We felt extremely privileged to be camping on Incan terraces. Rudy was an amazing guide. He managed the team well and with good humour. His knowledge of the physical, historical, cultural and indiginous aspects of our trip was fantastic. He managed issues (train strikes at Agua Calientes) well ... and informed us well in advance. He gave us much more than was expected, and was a massive part of the enjoyment of the trip. His assistant Yoe was also an important member of the team, always there when needed with a happy smile.

Good service from booking to return flight
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu
Our guide Rudy (and Joey) turned a trek into an unforgettable experience! His knowledge about the places and people from his Incan heritage brought so much to life, delivered with an enthusiasm that never diminished. He rapidly built a team ethic in both us and the team of chefs, muleteers and helpers and we all felt like a big family very quickly. He adeptly dealt with the local unscheduled protests and our extra 10km of walking prior to MP. I doubt we will ever experience a better informed, ... passionate guide anywhere!

The trip was fantastic in every respect
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu
I have now been on 3 KE trips and all have been exceptionally planned and executed. The trip leaders and other support personnel have been excellent. The trip was fantastic in every respect, the route, the sites, the degree of difficulty, the teamwork. The flora, fauna, history, cultural immersion. Our guide Rudy was exceptional in every respect. Very good English language skills. Full of energy. He held one very special offering to the mountain gods on our last walking day which for most ... people there, was very moving. It would be fair to say that Rudy made the trip extremely special for everyone!

Fantastic holiday. Great walking, great guide, great team.
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu

Our guide Rudy was brilliant. He clearly has a passion for the history of the Incas and of Peru. He shared with us knowledge passed to him by his grandfather, which made for a very special experience. He was kind and helpful throughout the trip. Marco and Diego, our trek chefs, produced delicious food three times every day, often in very primitive facilities. Great work!

Excellent trip, well organised, wonderful guide loved the Picos
Traverse of the Picos de Europa

The itinery was well planned and really enjoyed all the walks. Scenery was amazing. Bruno was a wonderful guide, sharing all his knowledge of the Picos. He looked after the group well, offered guidance when needed. I felt very safe. He made sure everything went to plan. I couldn't have asked for more, thank you Bruno!

Walking in Germany's Black Forest
Walking in Germany’s Black Forest

The booking experience was very easy. Any questions I had were answered satisfactorily. The process was smooth and straightforward and the level of interaction was perfect. I wasn't bombarded with loads of emails and things to do. All relevant info arrived as and when informed. No complaints whatsoever. Very happy with our holiday and overall experience.

Having been on 5 trips with KE i have total confidence that I'll have a great trip wherever I go
Trek the High Taurus Mountains and Cappadocia

Tolga is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about flora and fauna and passionate about showcasing his country. He communicated the plan for each day clearly, paced the hikes and rest stops perfectly. Nothing was too much trouble for him, he even arranged a visit to a Turkish hamman for members of our group who wanted to visit one. He was cheery and fun to be with as well.

I have had 4 great hiking trips with KE so far
Walking Wild Tuscany
This recent trip to Tuscany was lovely. The level of skill and fitness for hiking was just right for me and challenged me in good ways. Our hosts, Jamie and Aisla, were wonderful. Aisla is a great cook and I loved her homemade meals. Jamie was very in tune with the conditions each day and always keeping our safety and comfort in mind. He also tells some great stories while on the trail! Their property (our base for the week) was beautiful and relaxing. Finally, our primary hiking guide, Manuel, ... was very knowledgeable and approachable. I appreciated his skill level and focus on safety as well. I enjoyed having group leaders who had a good sense of humour and were easy to chat with.

Well organized trips to interesting locations at a reasonable price
Trek the High Taurus Mountains and Cappadocia

Our guide Tolga is possibly the best tour leader I have ever had. He's a walking wikipedia on almost any subject. Wildlife, geology, culture, history... Very friendly, helpful. Speaks very good English.

A big challenge and a great sense of achievement
Geneva to Nice Road Cycle

Just what I wanted it to be. A big doable challenge with great climbs, scenery and local culture. I was the only English member of the group, but this meant I could expand my French and German and learn a lot about different countries.

I have already recommended this trip to half a dozen friends
Best of Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn
This was the best (and really only) way to see the Swiss Alps. All of the details were taken care of. And I appreciated that we did not have to carry our own luggage throughout, only partial luggage for a few days. Some of the other tours out there looked like they were struggling carrying everything! It was the right degree of physical challenge for me. And I liked that this was a "highlights" version that skipped some of the slogs through the trees and emphasized the amazing views and ridge ... lines.

Well organised, safe and highly enjoyable trip. Great bunch of fellow hikers made the experience. Massive thank you to Onex, Joseph (Cute one!), Joseph, Reuben, Richard and all the Porters etc for getting me safely, and comfortably, to the summit!
