Ismet Inan rocks as a leader

Trek the High Taurus Mountains and Cappadocia

This trip is challenging. And Ismet Inan is a skilled compassionate leader/guide who got us through tough weather and great hikes. Fourteen people did the trip. Seeing and experiencing everything on the description and more. All logistics were flawless. This was my first trip with KE and if all your guides are like this I want more.

Trekking to Toubkal

One Week Mount Toubkal Trek

The whole trip was well organised and planned out. Our tour guide Hassan, was incredible. He was thoughtful, decisive, considerate, knowledgeable and a lovely person. Great food, good accommodation, scenery was spectacular. Be prepared for scree everywhere! Lucky to have fantastic weather, with stunning walks through local villages and towns. This is an excellent walk to undertake. The meal chosen by the guide at the end of the walk in Marrakesh was by far one of the best meals I have ever eaten ...just wow! The only disappointment was the 3 hr guided city tour in Marrakesh, undertaken by another guide. Trudging around in 35 degree heat from street to street while he talked endlessly was slightly soul destroying, exhausting and totally boring. He was agitated whenever we asked questions and tried to cut the tour short by the second hour. A let down, as the rest of the entire trip was first class.

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your feedback and we are very pleased to hear you had a fantastic time in Morocco, which is a favourite destination for KE office staff too. We are extremely proud of our local leaders. Hassan has been successfully leading KE groups for 4 years and is an extremely popular leader. Unfortunately, our own guides are not allowed to conduct tours of Marrakech as these must be taken by guides appointed by the city authority but having said this, most of our clients do enjoy this aspect of the holiday, especially the sights, sounds and delicious aromas of the souk.

stunning scenery and excellent organisation

One Week Mount Toubkal Trek

I came on this trip in May when two of the passes were blocked with snow and we followed a revised itinerary. I enjoyed it so much I came back to undertake the full itinerary and it was even better. The gorges and Lac d'Ifni were stunning and the views from the cols and Toubkal summit were exceptional. The days were fairly strenuous (about the equivalent of climbing Ben Nevis each day) but were all the more satisfying for that. Each day was continuously interesting. For anyone fit enough fo r the Lake District or Scotland the challenge of this trek and Toubkal's 4,167 metre summit is a must.

Head uncovered was a problem with sun danger. Noted that locals were able to cover with woven
cloth wrap that is part of national dress. Would buy and take one next time.

Trek ... top quality tent , food , kit and guide. Mules in first class condition and calm.
Local company partner superb.

Excellent National Parks introduction tour

Yellowstone and the Wild West

This trip was exactly as we expected. We had an excellent introduction to some of the American National Parks. There was a lot of driving which was made more comfortable as there were only 4 people on the trip in a van made for 12. The walking was correspondingly not very demanding but after reading the itinerary was as expected. The camping was excellent in Yellowstone but noisy at Grand Canyon. The night at Monument Valley was not our cup of tea but maybe loved by others! The hotel accommodati on was fine. The guide was very friendly and informative, a very good cook and did everything to make our trip memorable. She could,however, have been a wee bit fitter. All in all an excellent trip and a very good overview of the National Parks.

Every day was absolutely AMAZING!

Chomolhari Basecamp and the Bonte La

This has been the best holiday I have ever had! Festival was fantastic, trek was really fantastic with stunning views everyday. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared the love of his country with us, many stories and made sure we were well looked after. All of the trekking staff were full of smiles and absolutely spoiled al of us.

A good combination of trekking and sightseeing in a fantastic part of the world!

Mountains and Marvels of Central Asia

This trip comprises of two parts, a week trekking in the northern Fann Mountains of Tajikistan and a week sightseeing in the cities of Uzbekistan. I choose this trip over the Ultimate Fann Mountains (UFT) primarily because I wanted to see more of Uzbekistan, although I would also have liked to do a longer trek in Tajikistan! The scenery on trek in Tajikistan was spectacular. My highlights included the views from the top of the Chapdara and Kulikalon Passes and our campsites at Alaudin and Kulik alon Lakes (Days 3-5). Each night we camped by a river or lake and so there were ample opportunities for washing, even if the water was rather refreshing! I would recommend taking a good supply of cereal bars or similar, as extra food supplies to have on trek. The people of Tajikistan are incredibly hospitable, although the country is very poor and facilities can be basic. In Uzbekistan we visited the cities of Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand. Due to the timing of our flights (Tashkent to Urgench on Day 8, and Tashkent to Istanbul on Day 15) we only had very limited time in Tashkent. If you would like to see more of this city then I would recommend booking a day or two extra at the end of the trip. We stayed in the same hotel in Tashkent on Day 7 and Day 14 (for a few hours!) and so we were able to leave much of our trekking gear in Tashkent. My highlights in Uzbekistan included Khiva and Bukhara, and I was glad to have chosen the trip which took in these additional cities as I enjoyed them more than Samarkand (which does have some very impressive sites, but has more of a ‘big city’ feel). Good pre-departure information from KE and quick to respond to queries. Looking forward to booking my next KE adventure!

Brilliant well organized walking holiday.

Traverse of the Picos de Europa

This was our first hut to hut organized holiday Grade 7, so the experience was new to us. The friendly greeting and full organization from a very experienced guide from start to finish give us a very enjoyable holiday of the Picos which would be hard to experience otherwise. The days were full and exhilarating and breathtaking. I would recommend it to anyone who has good physical fitness with stamina to walk full days at a good pace for this grade as it is a challenge. The food that was provided was well thought out and wholesome and very satisfying after a steady hike. I would recommend hiking poles for this terrain as it can be hard on the knees and ankle joints with the heights and descents that are expected. Also thin light layers of clothes which can be added and taken off quickly as the days warm up and also can cool down with heavy mist, the lighter in weight the better as two days of clothes and sufficient water is need to be carried on a daily basis. We were lucky with the weather as it was perfect. I would also recommend earplugs as communal snoring can be expected.
The Picos is a must for hikers who enjoy breathtaking scenery and to share it with a fantastic group of hikers makes it a very memorable experience. We will be keeping our eyes open for another holiday with KE Adventure next year.

New to the Alps - loved it

Ultimate Tour du Mont Blanc

A splendid ten days, tough, challenging, interesting. Our guide was excellent, she was encouraging and careful, pushing just enough to secure the timings and ensure we got the best mountain views at the best time of day.Her local knowledge of geology, botany and the general life in the Alps enhanced the experience for all.
More than enough food and comfortable beds in a good mix of accommodation, if I were to make a change I would choose to stay high for a couple of extra nights, if poss ible, rather than descend to the valley and then climb back up again next morning.

Great group, tough trek, good guide and all the arrangements went well

Choquequirao to Machu Picchu

All the travel arrangements by KE went according to plan. Get fit before you do this trek but superb trek and up there with the top 3 we have ever done. Great mixture of culture and trekking. We were worried having a group of only 5 but it gelled well and we had a fantastic holiday. There was some stunning scenery and some Inca sites we wouldn't have otherwise seen if we hadn't trekked. Support staff on trek were excellent and they catered well for us vegetarians with loads of lovely n utritious food. Camping is not for everyone with its cold water showers dodgy loos on occasions but that is part of the trekking experience in wilderness situations. Seriously I am not sure I can think of any improvements I could make. Excellent!

Stunning mountains and architecture

Mountains and Marvels of Central Asia

Great chance to do some great trekking and learn about the culture of these unique places. You get off the beaten path, but stay safe and organized with KE. Enjoyed both Tajikistan and Uzbekistan immensely and would definitely recommend it to others.
