A great, challenging bike ride, rewarding and always interesting

Santiago de Compostela by Bike

This is a hugely enjoyable and rewarding trip, the best I've been on. It is also a real physical challenge - it is very tough but that adds to the rewards and there is the historical and cultural side as well. There are many great mountain biking days on this trip, some great descents including from Pyrenees and Cantabrian mountains and across the valleys of Galicia. The trails across the Meseta are flatter but then there is the challenge of the distance and heat, and you pass through so many ... interesting places on these days. Our guides were very friendly, helpful and organised (and they knew one of the best restaurants in Santiago for a fantastic last meal). Hotels were good, my only minor disappointment being we stayed in large business hotels in Burgos and Leon - otherwise we were in smaller simpler hotels and ate in local restaurants which was much better to my mind. Thoroughly recommended, provided you are fit and determined. At first I was put off slightly by the "fat tyre" designation, like an idiot I initially assumed it meant "easy" but and so glad I went ahead.

A great trek despite significant flaws in the organisation

Mount Toubkal in Winter

Overall, I had a great holiday but I have been extremely disappointed that the itinerary of a mountain trip was not respected and that we did not climb the second 4000m summit. The leader did everything possible to go down in the valley a day before which meant I have been deprived from an other great day of trekking.

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you had a great trek to the summit of Toubkal and we are sorry that you were unable to make the optional ascent of Ouanoukrim. Although it was a majority decision of the group not to spend a third night at the refuge after the climb of Toubkal, we do understand your disappointment and have subsequently spoken to our guides about this.

Superb Himalayan trek off the beaten track

Beyond Kulu

Best organised trek I have had the pleasure of being on. Hats off to Rigzin. Well worth looking at from a scenic point of view if you have done a few treks in Nepal. Peaks might not be as high but scenery has a beauty of it's own. 2 great passes and stunning steep sided valleys.

An excellent short break

Mount Toubkal in Winter

I was after a short mountain break, relatively cheap, maybe somewhere a bit exotic, with snowy peaks and some altitude - the Winter Toubkal trip ticked all the boxes for me! And on top of that the group all got on really well, the weather was kind and the food was excellent! Don't underestimate the cold and spindrift though when the wind blows. You might want to consider taking climbing goggles as well as glacier glasses, and maybe a face mask or at least balaclava/buff. A highly recommended ... trip!

An excellent trip to Thailand, and not a beach in sight

Thailand Bamboo and Buddhas Family Adventure

We went on a December 2016 trip and this proved to be excellent timing as the weather was a perfect 20-30 degrees all the time, and there were no mosquitoes. This is a great family trip, with lots to see and do. If I have any criticism it is that it was such a great trip I wish we could have had an extra couple of days built in to the itinerary to relax a bit more rather than always being on the go. Elephants were a great hit. Jungle accommodation is on the basic side of basic, though the food ... was fantastic - as it was for the whole trip, you won't go hungry! Our Thai guide was excellent and couldn't have been more helpful. Take an eye mask for the overnight train (though our guide managed to persuade the guard to turn some of the lights out on our return journey).

Great, well organised trip in fascinating country

Oman Adventure Trekking

This trip was excellent. Every hiking day was quite different in some way, and each hike was stunning. The food was great, both during the camping and when we ate in restaurants, and our crew was friendly and helpful. It is important on this trip to be aware that it can be very hot for the hiking, and to come prepared for that. Bring shoes that can be worn for both walking and swimming for the optional wadi trip on the last day.

An action packed trip with wildlife, stunning coastal scenery and great walks

Cape Town and the Garden Route

A great trip. Every day we did something different from walking to zip wires to visiting caves and even riding ostriches and shark diving. The safari wildland was fantastic at both Addo Elephant Park and also at the private Scotia game reserve. We also so lots of sea life too! Our guides Bevan and Tish we excellent providing us with lots of information and also great food and hospitality.

A good holiday with an excellent group of participants and leaders

Red Hot Chile Trekkers - The Atacama Desert

I enjoyed the holiday, especially getting to the top of Licancabur, and although we were a large group everybody was fit and got on well. The walking was limited in scope by the (unsurprising) lack of water and I feel that the trip should be regarded as a collection of places visited rather than a genuine trekking holiday. For obvious reasons it is not an area suitable for continuous days of walking.

THE best trip so far

Patagonia - The Classic Paine Circuit

Trekking in Patagonia was very special. The weather conditions were very rough - rain, snow, strong winds, hail and a lot of mud on most days - but I guess this is what one should expect in Patagonia. We had a very strong group and a lot of fun - even when faced with these quite tough conditions. Our team leader and the whole crew were amazing. They really took care of us but got us everywhere safley. We all became like one big family and everybody really had a great time. I've done a lot of ... trips with KE but this one felt very special. I can definitely recommend it... the landscape, the nature, the rough weather and what a great feeling having accomplished the whole circuit.

Beautiful Island

Walking Undiscovered Tenerife and Pico Teide

We started in the south of Tenerife in the village of Chio. Quaint homestay with good food (although breakfast was a bit basic). The first day was a walk down Masca gorge to the sea. Beautiful gorge but very slippy underfoot - care required. The 2 day hike up Pico Teide followed. Definitely a highlight. We did the 6 hour walk to the refuge on the first day and then a fairly sleepless overnight followed by a 5 am rise to hike to the summit for dawn. Great experience but wrap up well. Below zero ... on the summit. Then to the north of the island for 2 nights in pretty La Laguna followed by 2 nights in Santa Cruz. Great walks in the Anaga peninsula down gorges to the sea. The guides Cao and Aaron were great with excellent restaurants used for evening meals. Highly recommended trip.

Absolutly fantastic trip!

Mount Toubkal in Winter

This was my first time booking this kind of trip with a company such as KE, so I was slightly expecting at least something to go wrong. But it didn't! The whole trip was great! The kit list supplied was accurate as was the advice given when i called about a couple of queries. The guides were friendly and very very knowledgable about the mountains that surrounded us. Omar was especially good I thought; very passionate about his job! The food was also a highlight of the trip. Im already thinking ... and looking at what to book next!!

A true winter mountaineering experience

Mount Toubkal in Winter

This trip delivers what it claims to do providing a true winter mountaineering experience. As such do not expect luxurious or warm living conditions; the mountain refuge is at best basic by alpine refuge standards and the showers and toilets particularly so. However, the food was excellent and plentiful and we were blessed with excellent weather for all days on trek, providing superb views throughout. Better communication from our lead guide would have been appreciated at times but on the whole ... a good experience.
