A fantastic trek with fantastic crew
Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek

We have been very impressed with the professionalism an attention to detail during every aspect of our Annapurna Sanctuary trek. The guide Rinji was very patient and attentive to all members of the group. We had a brilliant time, food was excellent and the trek was good value for money. We would have no hesitation to recommend KE to friends and will look to use them again in the future. Shirley and Steve

Refreshing and Delightful
Walking Croatia's Coast & Mountains
A wonderfully varied holiday from which I will treasure memories of thyme and sage clad mountains, beautiful historical coastal towns, beech woodland, waterfalls, lakes and glorious limestone canyons. The walking sometimes involved a bit of scree scrambling! I would recommend taking sturdy boots and poles. Some of our group found the pace a little fast for enjoying and photographing the scenery: a little negotiation maybe required! The accommodation was always welcoming and comfortable. I even h ad a dip in the outdoor swimming pool at one hotel and a dip in the clear waters of the Adriatic just metres away from another. I recommend a head torch for the overnight stay in the mountain homestead... stargazing in the dark was truly amazing, but the torch came in handy for a night visit to the toilet across the yard! Our guide was very familiar with our footpaths and organised transport, luggage transfers and hotel check-ins seamlessly. Food was plentiful and varied. An invitation to choose picnic supplies was always proffered and I have to say I have now tasted the best goats cheese ever! A great holiday!

Fabulous holiday!
Footpaths of Liguria - Cinque Terre, Portofino and Porto Venere
I would definitely recommend this trip to Liguria as an excellent walking holiday. Each day the walks were enjoyable and were rewarded by amazing coastal views. The hotel and food were also very good. Our guide, Isobella, was excellent: very friendly and did a great job of tailoring the trip to our specific group. She was very knowledgeable about the local area, which made the walks all the more interesting. Although some of the sections of the walks were up/down hill, they were rewarded by stun ning views and scenery, which made it all worthwhile. Thank you KE for a wonderful holiday!....

A genuine Sahara experience
Edge of the Sahara Trek
A genuine taste of the Sahara, with 4 full days of trekking south of the most southerly villages in Morocco over a range of stony plains, dry river beds and amazing sand dunes. Our group were very well led by our guide Omar, fed by legendary cook Hassan (who completed the entire trek wearing black slip on shoes - not recommended for lesser mortals), and supported by the 3 camel drivers with their camels. Daytime temperatures of 35-37*C in the sun made the walking a real challenge for most of our group and in these temperatures the holiday grade should probably be regarded as a 6. Also be aware that the mini bus ride from Marrakech to the start of the trek at Ouled Driss is approximately 450km and a long day. Overall though this trip is an accessible way to obtain a genuine Sahara experience.

The best walking holiday ever :D
Footpaths of Liguria - Cinque Terre, Portofino and Porto Venere
From start to finish this was an excellent trip! The fantastic weather all week certainly helped us enjoy ourselves but other highlights included: - Stunning coastline and uninterrupted views of the ocean. - Challenging walks but also plenty of rest stops for cappuccinos, gelato and Aperol! - Exceptional picnics at carefully selected locations by our wonderful guide Isabelle. From outside churches at mountain peaks to island beaches. Every day had a colourful spread of different italian breads, meats, cheeses and fruit. As well as wine to celebrate after the morning climb! - Tours of local villages where we learnt about local traditions, culture and history. - Itinerary tailored to best suit the weather, group preferences and tides (for boat trips). Although not necessarily in line with the itinerary published in advance by KE, the flexible approach employed by our guide Isabelle meant that we could get the best experience possible. - Family run hotel which offered a comfortable stay and very warm welcome. Dinners included all the favourites - pasta, pesto, meatballs, lots of seafood and of course more gelato! - A chance to meet new people of varying ages from all around the world and enjoy the experience together. - Transfers from the airport were smooth, comfortable and on time. We would highly recommend this trip and are already looking into our next trip with KE. Laura and Rachel

Superb combination of trekking and festival
The Druk Path Trek

This trip offered an excellent combination of some cultural highlights, as well as trekking. The trekking was well paced and most kit is carried by horses, so it is relatively straightforward. The guides are very well prepared and every aspect is thought of, from the food to medical care. The hotels were a good standard, with warm showers and comfortable rooms. And the Bhutanese people could not be more warm and welcoming.

Rewarding treks with stunning views
Footpaths of Liguria - Cinque Terre, Portofino and Porto Venere
I was a bit apprehensive about this walk after reading the initial reviews, however my fears were non founded. The walks were mostly grade 3 however there were a few days that were grade 4/5. All of the walks would start with a steep ascent from a village and eventually we would reach a plateau where we would have our picnic lunch. The views were stunning and breathtaking, and made the ascent worthwhile. Our guide Isabelle always made sure that the group were prepared for the walks in advance, a nd even after discussion changed the itinerary ,so that Day 1 was moved to Day 3 to allow us to become familiar with an easy grade of walking before the strenuous walk that should have taken place on Day 1. I think all of the party agreed that this walk was the hardest of them all, so much so, that we were unable to complete the planned route, and had to complete the route by taking the boat to Portofino instead of ascending the mountain again. It would be better for KE to change this route by either staying up high on the mountain and proceed on to Portifino, or descend down to San Fructoso, 2 ascent/descents is not a grade 3 hike. The hotel was family run, and was very personal. Food was excellent, great choice for breakfasts, and the evening meal would usually have a pasta which was plentiful and tasty. Our guide Isabelle was always busy sourcing the local shops for our ingredients for our picnic lunch, which was always the highlight of our walks. She was very knowledgable about the area where we were walking, and was always able to answer our many questions. The group's ages were in the range of 24-75, and we all had a great time getting to know each other along the paths.

Best trip ever. Words can't describe the experience of being with the locals.
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu

Do your research with regard to bugs and weather. It can change alot depending upon when you go to an area. KE provide a good overview but you should be diligent in researching your specific situation. We were fortunate to have retired companions who took the time to look into specifics.

Incredible mountain and cultural experience
Everest Yeti Trail Luxury Lodge Trek
An amazing trek. Our guide – Pemba Sherpa – was excellent and wonderful company. He was an encyclopaedia of knowledge about the mountains, scenery, people, culture, religion, way of life, animals and botany, and he seemed to know most people we passed on the way! The trek took in stunning scenery and above Namche covered ground with few other trekkers present. Good to experience the monasteries and local life too. The ‘luxury’ lodges are not European standards of luxury – but you did g et your own room, bathroom - and even the showers worked most of the time! Great views of Everest and other 8000 + peaks – especially from Kongde. We are seasoned UK mountain walkers and found the walking very manageable – although at over 3500 metres, the altitude made it quite hard work! I had my own GPS unit which said we covered more mileage than KE itinerary intimated (over 90 miles, and a total of 5100m ascent). Definitely worth adding an extra day or two in Kathmandu at the end of the trek as flights out of Lukla very weather dependant. All in all, a top trek. Great organisation and support from KE, and a quite brilliant guide.

An excellent 1 week holiday with good walks and ample relaxation time.
Walking the Islands and Volcanoes of Sicily
A very well paced holiday considering the movements required between Islands. All of the walks were varied and also allowed time for some relaxtion so you never felt rushed Tony the guide was excellent monitoring all the groups needs alongside constant organising of transfers. The scenery and the weather helped make this one of the best short holidays I have done and returned home refreshed. Be prepared for more than enough food and despite the numbers of people on Stromboli and Etna they are &# 039;must do' and worth every bit.

Amazingly beautiful locations
Walking Croatia's Coast and Islands
Hiking in a variety of locations was a wonderful way to see the country and some of the more out of the way scenery. Be ready to do ascents with varying degrees of difficulty and length that lead to stunning views once arriving at the top. The first day's hike was on scree all the way making it harder than expected but doable...hiking boots would be in order and many of our group used walking sticks. Each day was beautiful, food was very good, accommodations were adequate, service generally very good. The hotel we stayed for two nights prior to returning to Dubrovnik was undoubtedly our favorite! Quaint rooms, delightfully furnished and a comfortably unique al fresco dining area made this seaside experience totally amazing. The trip was well organized and the locations were perfect in their historical significance and grandeur. Our group was small, 9 total and great fun! Travel is never perfect as humans are fallible and events cannot be predicted. That said, this is a trip I would absolutely recommend.

A wonderful walking holiday
Walking the Islands and Volcanoes of Sicily
This trip was wonderful with an excellent, knowledgeable guide, beautiful hikes, great food and lovely people. October weather was perfect, warm enough to swim but not too hot. The only time i felt a bit of a chill was atop Stromboli waiting for the different types of eruptions, so I would recommend packing something warm for that. When we did Etna, it was sunny and warm, but apparently it can get pretty cold there at 3000 m. The volcano guides have fleeces/jackets/gloves that you can rent. That was an optional part of the trip that I highly recommend. The hikes were not too strenuous but the poles did come in handy a few times.

Truly outstanding experience - very hard to beat!
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu
I can't fault the trip. It was challenging but not impossible and allowed our group to witness outstanding landscapes, explore ruins without others tourists, sleep on Inca terraces and paddle in fresh springs. Our guides were outstanding and passionate about they do. The whole team had constant smiles and endless energy. And as for the chef/sous chef - never expected full whites and chef's hat half way up a mountain. I think flambleed pear and baked cake was beyond all our expectations . Peru is an amazing country and although only touched the surface, feel that I have come home with a greater understanding of the culture. The only disappointment (which no ones fault) was Machu Picchu. After being spoilt for the majority of the trek, it was a shock to see some many people. I recommend going up to the Sun Gate if you feel the same and look down on it - made me appreciate it a little more.

Highly recommended , a wonderful holiday !
Footpaths of Liguria - Cinque Terre, Portofino and Porto Venere
I have just returned from a fabulous week walking in, on and around the Cinque Terra in this beautiful area of Liguria , Italy . The family run Hotel was superb with simple, clean rooms, all with balconies,, helpful, friendly staff , lovely homemade meals, and with a great location in the pretty town of Moneglia. The walks were superb and our guide Isabelle deserves special thanks - she was great company , is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area, and her picnics were the highlight of the day for me ! Ours days were very well planned and the walks were stunning , some minor alterations were made to the itinerary ,due to path closures, or swapped days over so we didn't do the hardest walk on the first day, and on one day, to take the boat back rather the train so we could see the pretty villages of the Cinque Terra from the sea - Simply Stunning ! Any changes were made only after group discussion and we all agreed that the right decision had been made as Isabelle clearly knows her stuff and this beautiful area very well . Our walks included some steep ups and downs but those were soon forgotten when we reached the top and those views, ...or the bottom and the gelateria !! The opportunity to swim in the sea was a bonus too. This was a great time of year to travel to this area, as I suspect , it could be very busy (and hot) walking here in summer. A wonderful holiday with a great group ,excellent guide, lots of fun, lovely food, scenery , sea and sun. Bella Italia !
