Family Egypt Adventure Holiday
Family Egypt Adventure Holiday
I wanted to write to say a huge thank you for once again providing an amazing experience to my family and I.

We all had a fabulous time, met some lovely new friends and were thoroughly impressed by our knowledgeable and kind - guide Ahmed.

From the majesty of the pyramids to ballooning over the temple of Hatshepsut. From the joy and excitement on the streets at the end of Ramadan to the calm peace of canoeing by the Aswan dam, and from being hosted for fabulous meal s by families on Elephantine Island and again in Luxor to snorkelling in the clear waters of the red sea - we could not have asked for more.

We can’t wait for the next adventure…

West Lycian Way
Self-Guided Walking: West Lycian Way

Very impressed with the holiday and with the pre trip dealings with KE. Really well thought out itinerary and a lovely selection of small hotels (especially The Stone House). GPS tracks were accurate and invaluable. Everyone we met was helpful, friendly and accommodating.

Fabulous trip
Victoria Falls to Cape Town

Fabulous trip - a holiday that just kept on giving. Every day was different, with new landscapes. Likewise the support team of Bradley, Charles and Sandili just kept on giving. My highlights were the ever changing landscapes, with great cycling with a variety of surfaces and cycling techniques.

Excellent week in the Atlas Mountains
Mount Toubkal in Winter
This was our second trip with KE, having previously completed EBC in 2022. As expected the logistics and communication with KE was excellent, with smooth airport pick up and hotel process. We opted to spend an extra couple of nights in Marakech, which is an "interesting" place to say the least - certainly a big difference to the Atlas Mountains!
Our guide: Lahcen, was excellent and he was one of the stand out points of the trip. The hiking in the Atlas Mountains was incredible, with beautiful scenery and some acclimatization hikes, which were quite strenuous. The food and hospitality was excellent throughout the trip.
The trek to Toubkal itself was challenging, and hiking poles are a definite must, but the views at the top are stunning and there were minimal people at the summit.
Just a heads up, that KE merged our trip with a French tour company, so we were placed in a group of 7 French people, which we weren't expecting. This did create a different vibe in the down time/ evenings, compared with our previous trip to Nepal. The group was very friendly, and we did practice our limited French skills. We weren't aware of this possibility when we booked, so wanted to make other people aware that this can happen.
Thank you again KE for another incredible adventure, where to next....

Well planned holiday. All staff wonderful and very welcoming and enthusiastic. Murad made the holiday a very enjoyable and adventurous experience whilst giving us lots of information about the environment and country. Made every member of the group feel cared for.

Great itineraries, good organization
La Gomera - Jewel of the Canaries

Ene was as good as it gets: Dynamic, great with group dynamics (we had a 13 person group), handled surprises with flawless flexibility (late arrivals for ex.) He was very well informed on the island's environment, history, etc. where he grew up, and hit the absolute right amount of detail at his always-welcomed trail stops. Funny, engaging, smart, flawless English... we loved Ene!

Walter was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, communicated very well, and was very attentive to the group. Trip highlight - Watching a tapir come out of the undergrowth, walk straight by me and then disappear back in the undergrowth.

Jewel of the Canaries
La Gomera - Jewel of the Canaries
We were provided with an incredibly diverse and well thought out itinerary. That the group was filled with really interested and like-minded travelers headed by a local and knowledgable guide, was a major added bonus. Ene treated the experience like he was taking a group of friends through the many important places that shaped his own childhood and life. We were fortunate enough to see La Gomera through his eyes, while simultaneously being provided information, background and current challenges as a way to formulate our own understanding of this unique island. I will never forget him!

Gosainkund and Langtang Trek

Raj was a fantastic leader you could tell he is very passionate about sharing his culture and Home country with everyone in the group. He’s a joyous person who always had a smile on his face and brought happiness to everyone around him. He kept eye on everyone and made sure that anyone that was struggling had extra help and attention so that they could continue to enjoy their holiday. It was a pleasure to meet him !

An incredible experience
Jordan's Dana to Petra Trek
Everything went very smoothly. It was fun and exciting and I felt safe and taken care of the whole time. This was such an incredible experience. The physical challenge, the beauty, the history, the wonderful food and even more wonderful and warm people of Jordan -- I couldn't imagine a better trekking holiday. Even roughing it at the camp grounds was fun, though the toilet situation was definitely a new one for me haha. Very grateful I took this trip with KE.

Murad was such a wonderful guide. He was so so knowledgeable, patient, funny, helpful. I can't imagine doing this trek with anyone else. He made this an unforgettable experience, and it was clear he cares deeply for Jordan, for the environment, and for people.

A varied and beautiful trek - with a fantastic guide
Gosainkund and Langtang Trek
This was our first trek in Nepal, and will certainly not be our last! The route was very varied, with the first part climbing through terraces and forests towards the ever-present mountains south of Langtang. Thanks to the well-planned route and steady ascent, there were no problems with altitude going over the Laurebina La - and the long descent into the more Tibetan region of the Lantang valley gives fantastic views. The climb up by the Langtang Kola is different again, and the upper valley ar ound Tianjin Gompa is stunning. Do try to climb up Tserko Ri if the weather and fitness permit - the views are stunning!

The trek was made especially enjoyable because of the fantastic leadership of our guide Raja - knowledgeable, incredibly helpful but also just great company - and the team of porters and assistant guides. Overall an excellent introduction to trekking in Nepal, and a lot quieter than some of the more famous routes (from what we understand).

Great 12 day trek close to Kathmandu
Gosainkund and Langtang Trek
A varied and interesting 12 day trek, which was very well organised, with a friendly and supportive group of 10 trekkers. Raj is an award winning guide, who lived up to his reputation as a capable, well-informed and considerate leader, ably supported by assistants Singhi and Bhupal, and the amazing team of six porters. The optional ascent of Tsergo Ri was a highlight for me, with stunning panoramic views at the summit, and my first time using crampons, needed due to the ice and snow underfoot in the higher sections. But there were plenty of other moments of awe and wonder in this highly engaging mountain environment. The food on the trek was vegetarian, tasty and plentiful - this would also be a good trek, food wise, for vegans. Some of the tea houses are basic, as described, so be prepared to go without hot water for a few days at a time, and to share squat toilets with the rest of the group - good for the leg muscles, but not always the nose. The hotel in Kathmandu was very comfortable, especially so at the end of the trek. There’s not a lot of spare time in Kathmandu unless you add on days at the beginning or end. Most of us had been trekking in Nepal before and most were also envisioning future trips, so this trip is a great addition to anyone’s Himalayan experience.

Completely fabulous
Heritage Trails of Rajasthan
Every aspect of the holiday was planned and delivered with efficiency and care. We could not have asked for a better guide than Ketan. He looked after us impeccably, seemed to have a calm authority where ever we went and was engaging, sociable and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with him and also trusted him completely. There are so many varied and memorable aspects to this trip. Whoever created the itinerary and then planned every experience, did an outstanding job. We saw and did so much in just two weeks. It was completely fabulous.

Enthralling trip to a wonderful country
Oman Adventure Trekking
This relatively short trip provided a myriad of experiences from a jaw dropping Mosque to fabulous wild walking to amazing isolated campsites to sensational swimming spots. Muscat is a fascinating city and the newly constructed Mosque is one of the world’s great religious buildings. I’ll never look at a chandelier in the same way again! The walking is relatively straightforward but the second 2 day trek is quite challenging especially in the heat we experienced…..4a.m. breakfasts necessary to start walking at first light. The savage wonderful scenery more than makes up for it but hydration is a very big issue and needs to be attended to scrupulously…..minimum 4 litres per day. The campsites were absolutely fabulous and a definite highlight of the trip…..the desert camp probably the pick of a superb bunch. For me, a definite high point was the swimming with several idyllic swimming spots culminating in the last day leading through the narrow gap into a huge “cave” with waterfall….loved it. Daniel our guide was brilliant and no praise high enough for our 2 drivers……you’d go a long way to get better off road driving experiences. Guide and driver also dealt with camping/cooking etc and were often on the go from 2a.m. until 10 in the evening. A point to bear in mind is travelling during Ramadan as we found several sites in the itinerary were closed. Also I feel consideration should be given to having an assistant guide especially if it was a large group. All in all this was a fabulous trip and highly recommended.

Everest Basecamp Trek
Everest Base Camp Trek

Trek was well organised, friendly and helpful KE staff at the head office and the itinerary was spot on. Milan was a charming amd professional leader. Paramount to him was the welfare of the group ensuring at all times we were ok. His knowledge of the mountains was second to none. Milan was also mindful of the wellbeing of the assistants that carried our luggage and the other guides who accompanied us. Milan was First Class.

Beautiful views throughout the trip
Gosainkund and Langtang Trek

Rajendra and his team were fantastic. They all bent over backwards to look after us and ensure we all had a great trip. A good level of fitness is needed for this trip as the gradients are fairly steep with lots of steps up and down. The food is fresh and plentiful but very carb heavy so snacks from home are a welcome addition.

The Ultimate Everest Trek
The Ultimate Everest Trek
The Ultimate Everest Trek lived up to all my expectations. Good communications beforehand, transfers, local guides, hotels and (most lodges) plus food were all very good. Scenery was spectacular of course and did not disappoint. Trip of a lifetime. Everest is a sight to behold, but to be fair, there are so many other mountains I never heard of that were awesome too, the passes, the trails, the eagles, birds of prey, the blue skies (amazing), the peace and tranquility, it simply has everything fo r me.

Fabulous!
Self-Guided Walking in Catalonia
This has been such a fabulous self-guided walking trip. We’ve done a few such trips - all good - but this one in Cataluña has been the best of all of them.
<br /><br />
1. For us, walking from our hotel in the morning to the next night’s hotel, every day and without any transfers whatsoever, was a real strength of this trip. It felt like a constant walking journey spread over a week of walking rather than a series of day walks.
<br /><br />
/> 2. The part of France in question - La Côte Vermeille - is so beautiful. Collioure is a fabulous little town (I wish we’d booked an extra night there). It’s so pretty. Incidentally, the circular walk from Collioure on Day 1 is worth doing, if you have time, ie if you arrive in Collioure in time. Note though that our room in the hotel was not ready until 2pm, so we couldn’t start the circular walk until after that. No hardship - we sat and ate waffles and drank coffee in the beautiful harbour.
<br /><br />
3. Crossing over into Spain, and the Costa Brava was fantastic … as is often the case, the scenery “knows” there’s a border, and it subtly changes.
<br /><br />
4. The walking was fantastic. Wherever there was a choice of a mountain route or a coastal route for the day, we chose the mountain route, and overall I’d say that made it fairly graded as a “5” on KE’s difficulty scale. The walking was a mixture of different types of trail, from asphalt at one end of the spectrum to scrambling at the other, with everything in-between. However, the sections on asphalt were beautiful and very, very quiet, and the scrambling was never tricky enough to cause any problems whatsoever for someone without scrambling experience.
<br /><br />
5. We got a bit of a “surprise” with the last proper day’s hike from La Port de La Selva to Cadaqués. It’s the longest day distance-wise, and we thought it would therefore be across easier terrain, but it was actually on some quite hard going (rocky) terrain at times. Note that although the navigation app for the trip states that there is nowhere to get a drink or food en-route on this day, there is in fact a great little bar at the lighthouse that serves coffee, cold drinks and sandwiches.
<br /><br />
6. We didn’t bother using the trip notes for navigation whatsoever, and instead used the provided app (“Roadbook For Discovery”). The app worked perfectly well, and meant that we could enjoy the walking without having to constantly refer to route notes. I also uploaded the GPX files provided by KE to OutdoorActive in case the Roadbook app proved not to be any good, but I never needed to resort to using OutdoorActive - Roadbook worked perfectly well.
<br /><br />
7. Food-wise, this trip was great! We had some amazing tapas and meals, and with a couple of exceptions where the hotel breakfasts were a bit “average”, the breakfasts were fabulous (despite being half Spanish myself, I have to admit the breakfasts were generally better in France than in Spain).
<br /><br />
8. In terms of eating out, I’d recommend the following where we had terrific meals, coffees, cakes, etc:
<br /><br />
<em>Collioure: L’Ambiance
Chez Simone
La Cafetière Catalan<br />
Banyuls-Sur-Mer: Le Corsaire<br />
Cerbere: La Coba<br />
Llanca: El Floc (doesn’t take bookings)<br />
El Port de la Selva: Can Pepitu<br />
Cadaques: Es.Fornet.
Blau Bar</em>
<br /><br />
9. The accommodation was good (pains me to say it was fantastic in France; good but not as good in Spain). Special mention goes to La Close St Andre in Banyuls-sur-mer which was fantastically rustic with a slightly unpolished charm and a fabulous breakfast. At the Hotel La Vigie in Cerbere, we paid a supplement at reception to get a room with a balcony. Given the fabulous view, and having seen a room without a balcony that we were initially booked in, it was well, well worth the €55 extra.
<br /><br />
10. Even in mid-April, it was getting hot in the mountains. Often, it was dead-calm even high up in the mountains. BUT the wind is notorious (it even has a name that escapes me), and when it does blow, OMG it is amazingly strong. Make sure you pack a wind-proof jacket!

Top quality
Everest Base Camp Trek
The service provided on the holiday was top quality - and clearly better than the customers of other operators received. Hotels - were fine and appeared to be pretty much the best circumstances permitted. The very highest altitude stops were very basic - no-one could describe themselves as very satisfied by them. Food - a lot of menus were limited but the service was always good and the quality as good as could be expected. Milan was rigorous re pre dinner sanitising. It felt a lot to start with but no one had any food related infection on the party. Transport - met at the airport well. The transfer to the regional airport outwards was tough only a few hours after arriving but added to the holiday insight / experience. Strong leadership got us through airports quickly. Itinerary - the variations on the route on the way back from EBC were particularly good especially the trek to Namche via Phortse. I think this is the best single walk I’ve ever done for views. Pre trip information - re the flight variation was good and clear. The tour leader Milan made the trip. He controlled the group very well and its speed of travel.

Heritage Trails of Rajasthan
Heritage Trails of Rajasthan
The trip was so well organised - prior to the trip, by the KE office based staff and during the trip by our guide, Ketan Mehra. I phoned a number of times with queries about the trip and each occasion the office based staff were really helpful and followed up with emails on requested information.

Ketan was marvellous and went above and beyond my expectations of a tour leader. He is extremely knowleageable and is able to answer any questions put his way - well organised with the gr oup - a great communicator with a fab sense of humour. I've waited 40years to get to India and he made the trip and the wait worthwhile.

I loved the fact that the trip not only included the well known 'tourist' spots but also going 'off piste' with well planned treks through villages seeing how people lived in a more rural setting.
