Everest Marathon
Tenzing Hillary Everest Marathon
Pretty much everything went smoothly, and talking to other groups on the trip (from all around the world) it was clear KE offered a much better level of service. So many great people and memories! Sleeping for 2 nights at Everest Basecamp has got to be the highlight. Raj was an exceptional trip leader in all respects. We had evening updates on what to expect the following day, interesting information on Nepal, and always a steady and considered approach to each days trek. Raj and his team m ade sure we were all together on the trek and kept checking in that we were all doing well. I would heartily recommend Raj for any trek in the Nepal region.

Great
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu
Everything about the trip was great. Communication from the office was excellent. Everyone I spoke to was very helpful. Special mention for Tom who was very patient over my flight luggage allowance anxieties! In country guide was excellent. Knowledgable, likeable, enthusiastic and helpful. I could go on... Exceptional guide/tour leader. Very thoughtful and enthusiastic to pass on his knowledge of his home and local culture. I learned a lot and he left me with a strong urge to go back and learn m ore. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Great choice of leader.

Fabulous holiday
One Week Mount Toubkal Trek
Fabulous holiday and faultless from arrival to departure. On arrival in Marrakesh I couldn’t get through passport control without giving name of hotel which I had forgotten. I rang the office luckily I had the number saved to my phone. The telephone was answered immediately and the staff member was able to provide the info very quickly. Our guide Mohammed was not only a fabulous guide but a team member and enormously entertaining. His English was very good and made our trip even more special. Shout out to the amazing trail mix of nuts almonds figs and dates he dug out of his backpack daily. Huge grins from everyone.

A truly above-exceptional experience
Walking Wild Tuscany
Felt really cared for and looked after. Really felt the accommodation owners and guide took a personal interest in us guests and were committed to making the experience truly unique and the best it could be. Our leader Stefano was so keen for us to have the best experience possible. He made sure that in changeable weather that we went on walks that were going to bring us the most satisfaction. He really cared for us as a group, looking after ones that needed it, and giving us all the stretch and challenge we needed to climb the mountains too. His local knowledge, historic knowledge and knowledge of the wild Forna and flora, and the knowledge of the the wild animals all made the trip extra special. The fun and laughter we had as a group that was the result of good leadership and team building by the accommodation owners and guide. They allowed us the freedom to gel as a team and the steer to help us all get on.

Well organised great holiday
Walking Wild Tuscany
I can’t fault this holiday. The farm where we stayed was stunning, the area so unspoilt and peaceful. The walks were carefully chosen to make the most of the amazing area and it’s mountains and terrain. Some changes were made to the schedule to accommodate weather conditions and the knowledge of the local guide was invaluable here. Jamie and Ailsa were extremely hospitable and attended promptly to any issues arising. Meals absolutely delicious and varied. A swim in the pool after a strenuous days walking was the icing on the cake. Stefano was a marvellous guide. He grew up in Lucca and is passionate about this part of Italy. He shared his extensive knowledge of the area and I learnt so much, in particular about the history of the region. He was very attentive, some of the walks were quite challenging with steep ascents and descents but he oversaw the group well and gave us appropriate support and encouragement.

An excellet way to experience the best of Sicily
Walking the Islands and Volcanoes of Sicily
While there are other Volcano walking holidays that provide better views of volcano eruptions (unless Mt. Etna is in big eruptions), this trip is unique in several aspects. First, the northern slope of Etna had snow and ice in places after the cable car lift, so the ascent to Mt. Etna’s craters was over a terrain of lava sand and rock where “the fire meets the ice”. Second, there was a roofless lava tube to pass through where there was snow/ice underfoot within the lava tube, making it a u nique experience. Third, the walk was intermixed with a good dose of Sicily’s wine culture, the Mediterranean’s cuisine and its way of life. Finally, our guide (Tony), who is a Sicilian with a passion for guiding, was eager to share his love of Sicily with us; this made the walk even more interesting and rewarding. Without the optional Etna’s craters walk on Day 7 (an extra cost of 90 Euro), this walking holiday would have a difficulty rating below 5. On the other hand, skipping this excellent half-day walk would mean missing a key highlight of this trip.

Fantastic biking, scenery and overall experience
Turkish Delight

This was a fantastic and varied trip which allowed you to feel like you fully experienced the varied Cappadocia landscape. The trip took in highlights of the fantastic rock and valley formations as well well as the lesser visited locations. The biking was excellant with a good mix of trails and single track. There were a few technical aspects to the single track but easily avoided when needed. A great trip and would recommend to any avid biker.

Tuscany
Walking Wild Tuscany

Challenging. Safe, informative and fabulous food. Stefanie is an exceptionally gifted young man in imparting knowledge about the environment and local history and his passion for his mountains was visibly infectious! Everything seemed to be done with the survival of the local environment in mind. The arrival at the naturally formed limestone arch high in the Apuan hills just took my breath!

Everything was brilliant
Walking in Madeira

This trip showed KE to be a very professional company which takes all the hard work out of the experience, so that we could enjoy it to the full. Everything was brilliant, but we did particularly enjoy swimming in the sea water pools at Porto Moniz. Jorge was fantastic in all respects. His communication skills were good. He was always on time. He was knowledgeable and personable. Well done. Packed lunches were delicious, a joy to eat.

Good Enjoyable Experience
Paradise Trails of Bali, Lombok and the Gilis
Great to experience these places in/around Bali, but prepare yourself for plenty of time sat in the mini bus. I felt at times there was unnecessary travel which was time consuming. Some of the itinerary could be altered to suit needs. - The temple visits definitely could be reviewed, as you spend hours traveling just for a small walk around the site. I expect most would rather spend longer in Ubud as there are more attractions to visit. All in all it was a great holiday, and like any KE Travel e xperience, expect to live out of a suitcase and move accommodation frequently. Some of the hotels were fantastic, we found we would only spend 1 night, and where we would have a couple the accommodation, seemed basic. The early morning walk is worthwhile, yet it’s a steep climb, for a good 90mins, recommend a decent level of fitness. This trip is worth doing, I rate KE Travel as this is our 3rd trip with them.

Excellent support
Ultimate Albania Cycling Tour

Excellent support from all staff at KE in Keswick. Excellent support from Niku and Vanny (support vehicle driver etc). Nothing was too much trouble and Niku and Vanny were expert in their knowledge of routes, local history, all the way to providing medical attention for minor accidents. Super job.

Fabulous Türkiye
Self-Guided Walking: West Lycian Way
Superb self-guided walking holiday. The day walks are all great, but the star of the show is the day from Faralya to Sancakli which has some truly fabulous sections of trails, pretty meadows (keep an eye open for the wild tortoises wandering slowly around), breathtaking mountain scenery and beautiful forrest. A long time since I’ve done a walk as enjoyable as that. We saw red squirrels, tortoises, the most amazing blue butterflies and even a family of wild boar that ran across the track 20 met res in front of us (if only I hadn’t stopped for a “comfort break”, I’d have had my camera to hand!) All baggage transfers worked faultlessly, and all pick-ups by a driver at the end of the day, where we weren’t finishing the walk at the accommodation, were on time and where we were told they would be. Special mention to the Montenegro Motel in Faralya (beautiful wooden bungalows that were so cozy and great food) and Beymelek Tas Evler at the end of the trip (superb food, lovely quaint rustic pension, and we even went picking green beans, peppers and herbs with the owner that his wife later used to cook us a delicious lunch). Tips: 1. The first few km of the walk out from Fethiye to Kayaköy is the least scenic part of the trip. I suspect it’s a way of getting out of Fethiye and on your way. 2. On a hot day, the “extra” optional walk from Kayaköy to Ölüdeniz is harder than you might think. It’s worth doing if you feel up to it, as the views on the descent to Ölüdeniz are fabulous, but having already walked to Kayaköy, it’s worth taking stock before ploughing on to Ölüdeniz. Note, getting a taxi in Ölüdeniz back to Kayaköy was very easy, and cheap. 3. The route notes were very good, clear and accurate. Each to their own, but having checked the GPX files provided to the route notes before departure to make sure they were consistent (they were spot on), we pretty much relied upon the GPX files uploaded into the Outdoor Active app, and these never missed a beat (worth getting the Pro version though, so that maps can be downloaded onto your phone and airplane mode switched on to preserve battery life and data usage). We only really resorted to the trip notes to read background on the areas we were walking through, although I can comment on their accuracy and user-friendliness since, as mentioned above, I checked the GPX files to the route notes before departure. All in all, a great trip, and we’ll be looking to do the new East Lycian Way self-guided trip too, in the future.

Galapagos Islands Adventure
Galapagos Islands Adventure

The guide Dario was absolutely fantastic. He has inexhaustible knowledge of the culture and wildlife of the islands, had excellent recommendations for places to visit and was just generally a great person to be around. I cannot fault him.
