Superb experience of Morocco's High Atlas Mountains!
Across the High Atlas Trek
For anyone who likes a strenuous, totally involving and spectacular trek, this really is the business! As promised in the KE brochure, we were led across the main part of the High Atlas mountains, with 4 high peaks on in the itinerary, including Toubkal, the highest in North Africa. Our guide Hassan was superb, highly skilled and approachable, with a deep knowledge of the terrain and the culture. Our cook managed to conjure up amazing meals (fresh salads at lunchtime, couscous, vegetables @ meat in the evenings, fresh fruit etc). With a train of 8 mules carrying all the gear, we were able to get into the remoter parts of the range, so this really felt like the real deal. I came away from the holiday fit, healthy, and feeling like I had really learned about the place. A wonderful experience, totally recommended!

Exhilerating Alpine experience
Ultimate Tour du Mont Blanc
A professionally organised, well lead Alpine trekking holiday where our Guide took account of the entire group. Excellent scenery, Alpine walking across three countries, and new friends.The nature of the walks reflected the advertised itinerary and whilst a good level of walking experience is required, our Guide and overnight hosts did everything possible to facilitate an excellent holiday. As to the walks, It was the first time I've used walking poles and they are definitely recommended (t hat from a person who manages without in the UK). If you have not stayed in an Alpine hut before, it is something else to experience and fully appreciate. The only trivial criticism is KE providing chocolate with packed lunches - something they told us not to bring - and for good reason in the height of Summer. But if that is my only criticism they must be doing a lot else right.

Classic walk
Classic Tour du Mont Blanc

This was a great holiday and challenge with fantastic food and accomodation. As a single traveller I did not realise I would be in a room with 2 others. The triple rooms used in 2 or 3 of the places were far too small and caused significant problems for us. KE should not use triple rooms or at least warn people if they are going to and then give the option of canceling as it is not acceptable to be crammed in in this way.

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review and we are glad you had a great holiday with fantastic food and accommodation. The choice of hotels and room configuration is quite limited in some places if we are to avoid transfers away from the walking route, which in our opinion would greatly detract from the concept of the Tour du Mont Blanc. Occasionally we may have to use some same sex triple rooms, although we always try to accommodate couples in twin rooms. For future reference, you can find the accommodation details for each trip on the 'Holiday Information' tab of our website.

Fantastic mountain scenery and challenging walking - what more could you want!
K2, Concordia and the Gondogoro La
This is a stunning trek, highly recommended for lovers of big mountains. I've been to the Indian and Nepalese Himalayas and the scenery in the Karakoram surpassed them all. There was plenty of adventure from start to finish, kicking off with a drive up the infamous Karakoram Highway complete with armed escorts and landslides! Highlights are many – the views from Concordia are epic and well worth all the effort to get there. The 360 degree panorama taking in K2, Broad Peak and the Gasherbr ums is breath taking. The night time ascent of the Gondogoro La with its 40-50 degree slopes at 5500m is certainly not for the faint hearted (or unfit!). Competence with ice axe and crampons on steep snow slopes is essential as being stuck behind someone who is not up to the job is not much fun for other members of the group. The trek was well organised from start to finish. The local guides, camp staff and porters were all incredibly professional and efficient; the food was amazing and the tents modern and spacious. The tour leader, Tom Richardson, was top class and a pleasure to be with in the hills.

Awesome holiday and a faultless experience with KE from start to finish.
Across the Julian Alps to Triglav
This was my first KE holiday and first experience of hut to hut trekking. My wife and I both had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this holiday to any seasoned hill walker. Prior to booking, we read all the info KE provided about the itenerary, kit list etc. and because of this felt extremely well prepared (note: pack toilet paper - not on the kit list but needed for the final hut!!) The Slovenian guides on the trek were also very helpful and knowledgeable and we were lucky enough to b e trekking with a great bunch of people. Consequently we had an awesome time! If great mountain days, stunning scenery and summits that provide a sense of achievement are your thing, this holiday is highly recommended!

Incredible journey to the most beautiful mountains in the world
K2, Concordia and the Gondogoro La
The scenery in the Karakorams is simply awe-inspiring. There was a real sense of good feeling among our team; partly due to the incredible shared experience of being in such a magical place, but also largely owing to the wonderful treatment we received from our Pakistani hosts and from Tom's (our group leader) sense of humour. Tom's knowledge of the region is tremendous and he had stories of funny misadventures in nearly every mountain we passed. And there were a lot of mountains!
/> KE were brilliant at helping us all rearrange our flights (there was a coup in Turkey the day before most of us were due to fly out to Pakistan on Turkish Airlines). On the journey to Skardu, we had to find accommodation at the last minute in Gilgit (due to a delay as a result of a landslide on the KKH). KE, Tom and Baltistan Tours made sure we all had accommodation and I was very glad at that point that I was not trying to travel independently. The food throughout the trip was really superb. In the most trying conditions (on glaciers, in the middle of the night, after days without fresh supplies), the kitchen boys managed to produce heaps of delicious food.
This trip in Pakistan was the best holiday i have been on. The company was great and everything was organised so well. I would highly recommend this trip. The scenery really blew me away and I got so much more out of the trip by going with KE than I believe I could have done by going with another company given that the Karakorams is KE's specialist region.
I will be back next year!

An amazing experience
Treasures of Guatemala and Belize
Many, many highlights! From staring into the bubbling crater of Pacaya and eating by headtorch watching Fuego erupt in the distance to enjoying the sunset over Lake Atitlan after a great day canoeing and hiking - we knew this was going to be a special holiday after the first couple of days. Juan and Welber made an excellent pairing as guide and driver and their knowledge of Maya and other indiginous cultures was superb. Tikal is simply stunning and Juan brought it fully back to life as it truly is his passion. Caye Caulker and Crooked Tree are equally stunning.
TIPS: Take walking poles for Pacaya and walking boots not walking-style trainers - that lava dust gets everywhere!
Take US dollars for Belize (exchange rate fixed at 2:1 so everywhere accepts them)
You may have to try a couple of ATMs in Antigua to get Guatemalan quetzels - the banks will change dollars to quetzels but only $200 a day and it is quite time-comsuming as they have an issue with money laudering.

Spectacular, challenging & great fun!!!
Across the Julian Alps to Triglav
This was my second mountain trekking trip with KE and it was just as brilliant as the first one in the High Tatras, Carpthian Mountains, Poland. Typically well organised with amazing guides - Katia and Bugy - who were extremely competent and worked well as a team to ensure the well being and enjoyment of us all. The scenery varies from pine forest to exposed mountain paths to valleys covered in wild flowers - all jaw droppingly lovely with views to die for! We experienced all weather from sun (4 days) to rain (1 day) to snow (half a day), and note to self in future is to pack as lightly as possible and layer up for possibly cold nights high up in the huts. Walking poles are very helpful if, like me, you find descending steep scree covered paths tricky! The mountain hut food was tasty and sustaining. I was lucky enough to be in a group of great people, and we all had a fantastic time!!!

A true adventure - not another tourist in sight!
Heart of the Tien Shan
Since my childhood, I had always wanted to visit Kyrgyz nomads and see their way of life. I was not going to be satisfied by a sanitised trip, visiting a contrived nomad camp. So, I researched thoroughly, and chose this trip by KE Adventure. It truly lived up to my expectations. The exciting trek through the Tien Shan mountains was challenging for me, as I am now 60, but the support of our guides was always there and, with their help and encouragement, I crossed rivers in spate and climbed over passes up to 3900 meters. A great achievement for me! As for the flowers in the alpine meadows - better than those I have seen in the Alps and the Dolomites. We saw several nomad camps, and visited one where we were offered tea and food in their yurt. By this stage, I felt that the experience couldn't get any better. The whole holiday was perfect, with glimpses into nomadic life, interaction with the trekking crew and horsemen, marvellous and abundant food, both on trek and at the basecamps, camping sites by rushing rivers, with the stars bright above, camaraderie with like-minded fellow-trekkers, and the fact that we were in a beautiful, wild place without ever encountering another tourist. The helicopter trips were exciting, especially the longer trip down from the glacier basecamp. I felt that all geography was laid our before us - awe-inspiring and exhilarating!

Excellent tough trip.
Traverse the Jotunheimen - Private McKie
We booked our trip as a private group. Arrangements were seamless and all details both at home and in Norway were taken care of efficiently.
Our guide for the trip, Simon, was really good. A professional who quickly assessed the ability level of our group and set an appropriate pace.
He took care of our every need and I would highly recommend him. Simon felt more like a friend than a guide. A real asset to KE.
This is a physically demanding trip. We were all experienced moun tain walkers who have undertaken several trips abroad however we all felt that this trip was slightly under rated in terms of difficulty.
There was nothing technical or difficult about this trip however the days and distances, particularly over rough terrain, were at times very long and tiring.
The quality of accommodation and food at all of the huts was probably the the best I have found abroad.
This is a great trip for experienced walkers. Plenty of variety, wonderful scenery and huge mountains.
Once again KE have put together a great itinerary.
Many thanks

A bit disappointing
Bernese Oberland Haute Route - West
This looked a hard trip for me but I had psyched myself up for it. However we missed the two long days in the middle and the ascent of the Wildhorn. This was due to poor weather and reluctance of other group members to follow the Guide's proposal to ascend to the first col and take a look. This might or might not have been successful but at least we would have tried. This level 8 holiday ended up as three less than 5 hour days, and no day over 950m. Otherwise huts were good, scenery fantast ic and guide Kathy was excellent. So much depends on weather and who else is on the holiday.

Beyond our expectations
Best of the Tour du Mont Blanc
First and foremost, kudos to our guide Cedric, who made the trip completely memorable.we have gone on many guided tour but Cedric was truly one of the best, in his knowledge and history of almost everything mount blanc.
I would also like to give a shout out to the staff of the the Yeti lodge. They were attentive and efficient. Special note to Charlie, loved the food especially the salted caramel dessert!
All the lodges we had stayed in along the way was very good . Nothing to chang e here.
Will definitely recommend this tour to my friends.

Wonderful experience - great mix of activities
Sri Lanka Family Island Explorer

We thoroughly enjoyed our Sri Lanka tour and felt it provided a great mix of activities ( trekking, whitewater rafting, swimming, etc), culture (visiting ancient buddhist temples and through our excellent guide about the history of the island) and to cap it all a great fun group dynamic. Also the little personal touches, like playing a game of cricket with some locals, really made for a memorable experience .
