Excellent trip, well organised, wonderful guide loved the Picos
Traverse of the Picos de Europa

The itinery was well planned and really enjoyed all the walks. Scenery was amazing. Bruno was a wonderful guide, sharing all his knowledge of the Picos. He looked after the group well, offered guidance when needed. I felt very safe. He made sure everything went to plan. I couldn't have asked for more, thank you Bruno!

Fantastic holiday. Great walking, great guide, great team.
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu

Our guide Rudy was brilliant. He clearly has a passion for the history of the Incas and of Peru. He shared with us knowledge passed to him by his grandfather, which made for a very special experience. He was kind and helpful throughout the trip. Marco and Diego, our trek chefs, produced delicious food three times every day, often in very primitive facilities. Great work!

The trip was fantastic in every respect
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu
I have now been on 3 KE trips and all have been exceptionally planned and executed. The trip leaders and other support personnel have been excellent. The trip was fantastic in every respect, the route, the sites, the degree of difficulty, the teamwork. The flora, fauna, history, cultural immersion. Our guide Rudy was exceptional in every respect. Very good English language skills. Full of energy. He held one very special offering to the mountain gods on our last walking day which for most ... people there, was very moving. It would be fair to say that Rudy made the trip extremely special for everyone!

Good service from booking to return flight
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu
Our guide Rudy (and Joey) turned a trek into an unforgettable experience! His knowledge about the places and people from his Incan heritage brought so much to life, delivered with an enthusiasm that never diminished. He rapidly built a team ethic in both us and the team of chefs, muleteers and helpers and we all felt like a big family very quickly. He adeptly dealt with the local unscheduled protests and our extra 10km of walking prior to MP. I doubt we will ever experience a better informed, ... passionate guide anywhere!

KE have always given us a fantastic experience with knowledgeable and helpful guides
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu
The trip was challenging, but fantastic. We really appreciated being so remote, and meeting local people along the way. Choquequirao was amazing and we really appreciated being there with so few visitors. We felt extremely privileged to be camping on Incan terraces. Rudy was an amazing guide. He managed the team well and with good humour. His knowledge of the physical, historical, cultural and indiginous aspects of our trip was fantastic. He managed issues (train strikes at Agua Calientes) well ... and informed us well in advance. He gave us much more than was expected, and was a massive part of the enjoyment of the trip. His assistant Yoe was also an important member of the team, always there when needed with a happy smile.

Excellent customer service, a great range of trips, and excellent in-country team
Choquequirao to Machu Picchu

This was excellent. Our guide, Rudy Arqque, was really well informed and passionate about his country and very positive in attitude. The grading was pretty accurate-this was a challenging trek with big ascents and descents, but we also had time to enjoy the Inca sites in depth.

A big challenge and a great sense of achievement
Geneva to Nice Road Cycle

Just what I wanted it to be. A big doable challenge with great climbs, scenery and local culture. I was the only English member of the group, but this meant I could expand my French and German and learn a lot about different countries.

I have already recommended this trip to half a dozen friends
Best of Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn
This was the best (and really only) way to see the Swiss Alps. All of the details were taken care of. And I appreciated that we did not have to carry our own luggage throughout, only partial luggage for a few days. Some of the other tours out there looked like they were struggling carrying everything! It was the right degree of physical challenge for me. And I liked that this was a "highlights" version that skipped some of the slogs through the trees and emphasized the amazing views and ridge ... lines.

Having been on 5 trips with KE i have total confidence that I'll have a great trip wherever I go
Trek the High Taurus Mountains and Cappadocia

Tolga is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about flora and fauna and passionate about showcasing his country. He communicated the plan for each day clearly, paced the hikes and rest stops perfectly. Nothing was too much trouble for him, he even arranged a visit to a Turkish hamman for members of our group who wanted to visit one. He was cheery and fun to be with as well.

Well organized trips to interesting locations at a reasonable price
Trek the High Taurus Mountains and Cappadocia

Our guide Tolga is possibly the best tour leader I have ever had. He's a walking wikipedia on almost any subject. Wildlife, geology, culture, history... Very friendly, helpful. Speaks very good English.

I have had 4 great hiking trips with KE so far
Walking Wild Tuscany
This recent trip to Tuscany was lovely. The level of skill and fitness for hiking was just right for me and challenged me in good ways. Our hosts, Jamie and Aisla, were wonderful. Aisla is a great cook and I loved her homemade meals. Jamie was very in tune with the conditions each day and always keeping our safety and comfort in mind. He also tells some great stories while on the trail! Their property (our base for the week) was beautiful and relaxing. Finally, our primary hiking guide, Manuel, ... was very knowledgeable and approachable. I appreciated his skill level and focus on safety as well. I enjoyed having group leaders who had a good sense of humour and were easy to chat with.

Stunning mountains - unforgettable times
Self-Guided Tour du Mont Blanc
I have truly loved my self guided Tour du Mont Blanc - the mountain views are unforgettable and cannot be captured in photographs. The view is constantly changing and I loved the new display every time you reached a Col or mountain pass.
The effort is not to be taken lightly and I think a grade 7 is about right. I would challenge the time estimates though - a suggested 5 hours turned out to be more like 7-8 with coffees and breaks. One thing which I would specifically mention is how good the
... KE App was. Not only did it contain all of the required information - hotels, dates, guide notes etc. but the real value was the interactive map which made navigation an absolute doddle. It also showed you on the height profile graph how much more climbing or decending you needed to do, which I appreciated.
With only one exception, the hotels were lovely - generally ski hotels with lots of local character and hearty breakfasts, and the baggage transfer worked flawlessly.
I would heartily recommend this holiday, it was not always easy - but the views and variety more than made up for hard work!

Well organised, safe and highly enjoyable trip. Great bunch of fellow hikers made the experience. Massive thank you to Onex, Joseph (Cute one!), Joseph, Reuben, Richard and all the Porters etc for getting me safely, and comfortably, to the summit!

We can't wait for the next trip!
One Week Mount Toubkal Trek
My son and I had a great time in Morocco, and we really enjoyed the trek. The guide was fantastic, the scenery beautiful, and the food amazing, what's not to recommend! Clear communication prior to the trip so that we knew what to prepare etc. We found our guide easily as soon as we stepped out of the airport and the transfer was comfortable. The food was delicious, freshly prepared, full of flavour and healthy. We couldn't believe how great the meals were when made whilst out on the trek. The ... trip had the right balance of some longer days trekking along with some easier, shorter days. [Guide] Younes was great, we really appreciated him on the trip and I was really pleased with how supportive he was towards my son who hadn't been at altitude or to Morocco before. It appears KE has a strong ethos towards supporting local workers eg the muleteers. The sites where we camped were always left without litter, and there was a good emphasis on avoiding the use of single use plastics/water bottles. Thank you KE, my son and I had a great time and made some special memories, we can't wait for the next trip!

Worth Every Penny. What a fabulous experience for us and the kids!
Sri Lanka Family Island Explorer
If you are unsure about booking this trip - please book now!

We just got back just over a day ago, and we are all still buzzing from the holiday of a lifetime!

The itinerary was very well judged in terms of content for the kids -

Highlights include: Riding bikes through an ancient city, tuk-tuk rides through the streets of Kandy, temples, white water rafting, village walk, cooking lessons, wildlife safaris, beaches, swimming pools and especially cricket with the locals!

The food
... was amazing - no upset tummies, very few mozzies, great weather, great accommodation, friendly people and a tour leader with encyclopaedic knowledge of the country, the culture, the flora and fauna.

What are you waiting for - this is an incredible value trip of a life time...

Walking in the Balkan Borderlands

The guide was excellent. All was well organised. We learnt a lot and had a great time! We had a lovely time with lovely people in a part of the world we knew little about previously. We loved the guest houses in particular and appreciated the fact that all our hosts were local.
