Just about perfect
The Ultimate Everest Trek
The organization and care shown by Prem, our KE group leader on the trek, was top class. The local guides however were poor but Prem went above and beyond to ensure they did not affect our enjoyment too much. None of the group suffered from altitude sickness. This was due to taking Diamox from Namche onwards on our outbound journey, and to the planned days off for acclimatization purposes. Take wet wipes for when the toilets/washing facilities are poor and something to do in the many afternoon h ours when trekking has stopped. DO NOT USE TURKISH AIRLINES - they cancelled my manchester/Istanbul flight and then Istanbul/Manchester without compensation and causing untold problems for me. KE (or more likely local agent) chose the best accommodation available on the whole. This trip is real value for money.

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review of your Ultimate Everest trip with KE. It's great to hear that the trip was 'just about perfect'. We were sorry to learn of the problem with the flights you booked for the holiday. For UK citizens, we recommend taking a flight inclusive package from KE so we can look after you all the way, including your journey out and back.

Excedllent apart from weather first week and tea houae at Debouche.
Everest Yeti Trail Luxury Lodge Trek
Guide (Milan), sirdar (Nadee) and helpers (2 sherpas) very good. Yeti Montain Homes excellent: would never use tea houses in Nepal again. Sadly couldn't go to Kongde and replacement accommodation at Debouche nowhere near that standard. Had to ask for flask of boiled water in room and for toilet paper. These were apparently chargeable but Nadee sorted everything out. Electric blankets seemed a recently added feature and wires were trailing dangerously over the floor. Needed head torches. Plu g sockets were amazing and seemed to take any sort of plug: 2 or 3 pin.

We are pleased you thought the Yeti Mountain Homes were excellent. They are something special and most people do not expect to find such surprisingly well appointed and comfortable accommodation high in the Himalaya, several days walk from the nearest road. As we informed your group prior to departure, the Kongde Yeti Mountain Home suffered some damage during the Spring 2015 earthquake and so for this night, the group was accommodated in the best alternative lodge in Debouche. You are right that these 'tea-houses' - where an electric blanket is the height of luxury - seem quite rustic by comparison. We expect to be able to return to Kongde next season.

Demanding but totally rewarding, one trip not to miss.

Demanding but totally rewarding, one trip not to miss.
The Inca Trail and Beyond
We are two very active outdoor enthusiasts, the trip was booked to give us a challenge in a new country, it did just that. The height gain was difficult for most, me included, underfoot conditions were good, pre Inca trail section was remote but this in itself made this trip so good, no crowds here, just mountains of great stature. On reaching the Inca Trail the crowds arrived too, but this was not a problem and only added to the whole atmosphere. On reaching Machu Picchu this was a totally emot ional experience for 4 tired happy Trekkers. Anyone thinking of booking this trip should go and do so, arrive fit, prepared to experience Altitude related conditions, walk light,use poles, be prepared to snap away on phone or camera, take back up batteries, little chance of recharging during the trip.

Best ever
Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek

I chose KE on my daughter's recommendation, she said that the KE team were so helpful and friendly.

I have to agree, this was by far one of the best treks I have been on. The organisation from start to finish was first class, full marks to Kami our guide and his team.

The KE team could not have been more helpful or efficient, I enjoyed the experience so much I am off to Peru end of June.

Here's looking at next year

Interesting and enjoyable walking holiday in Crete
Walking the White Mountains of Crete
Booking procedures prior to holiday were good and clear.
Check list of items to take relevant (do take waterproofs since it did rain and warm items for the mountains since it was cold for us on Pachnes, even though there was no snow).
Hotels/rooms were good. Food tasty and enough. The odd muesli bar worth taking but often provided when needed.
Walking mainly on paths but some were rough. I come from Scotland so am used to stony paths/rough descents. Day along the coast w as lovely with the sound of the sea. Gorges were very impressive. Both mountain days were interesting, Gingilos was warm but Pachnes cold at the summit. Our Guide was excellent and knowledgeable on plants.
The sea was too rough one day so we had a day without luggage, carrying the essentials extras for overnight. None of the group minded this (or carried much extra)!
Overall a super holiday with some mixed weather (for Crete) though we never got really wet.

2nd time even better than the 1st!
Walking the White Mountains of Crete

Brilliant variety of walking and mountains and gorges and sun and Greece and .... everything. The trip experience, for me, is all the richer because of Jean's support and care. The only day which could be improved, would the be drive to Pachnes, which is simply too long, and takes too much time out of the day. Top tip for other travellers, would be extend and include a night in Chania. Delightful. I left the functioning part of my heart in Chania, this time. Life changing stuff!

Fantastic Family Holiday
Okavango and Botswana Family Safari
A wonderful family camping experience with very personable and knowledgeable guides. Highlights included wild camping in the Okavango, Moremi and Savute, Victoria Falls and of course, all the wild animals. Although it was not the ideal time to go on safari as the was still plenty of greenery and water about, we saw plenty of animals and all the animals we were expecting to see, our favourite being the African wild dogs at a kill site which were were lucky enough to watch for an hour. Our guid es (Andrew, Izzy and Mellow) were very professional, easy going and good cooks. I'd highly recommend this trip.

Overwhelming life enhancing Himalayan adventure
Mera Peak
This was simply one of the greatest experiences of my "mountaineering" life. From the moment I realised our leader was "THE" Sherpa Pemba I realised we were heading for something very special. To spend 3 weeks in this environment with such a unique individual is something I will never forget. Another bonus was the new route for this expedition. I cannot recommend this highly enough. The first week was magnificent with almost total seclusion on amazing trails through lush flow er strewn forest leading to wonderful quirky lodges. I am sure this trail also greatly aided acclimatisation. The mountain experience has been well documented previously. Summit day is a considerable undertaking and the times suggested in the brochure are I think unrealistic so be prepared for a 16 hour day. That being said this was a day to end all days and the sunrise over the Himalayan chain including Everest and Makalu will be with me for ever. I simply loved this trip....exemplary leadership, close knit well bonded small group, stunning environment and lots of laughs. One piece of advice...well worth considering taking a supply of multi vitamins and electrolytic tablets for drinking water...there is essentially no fruit or veg for 2.5 weeks. Never thought I would see the day when I craved a tomato salad rather than a glass of red wine!!

An incredible experience from the Andes to the Amazon
Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
A stress free booking experience and provided with all the information needed before departure.
Holiday worked seamlessly with transfer and excellent selection of companies and hotels in Peru. During our trek it was just us two with a team of guides, porters and chefs making it a private tour of the Inka trail which we certainly didn't expect and was fabulous, on talking to the guide the max group size is 6 so always small meaning the walk can be tailored to what you want to see. T he food was excellent especially considered it was cook on a camping stove 3000M above sea level and my allergies were catered for perfectly and even made me a birthday cake at 3600M without an oven! The staff we encountered couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, especially in assisting will recovery of my bag which was lost on route to Peru by the airline, we would have struggled without them considering our poor Spanish. The 5 day Inka trail rather than the 4 means you get to see Macchu Pichu when you are recovered and not half asleep meaning you can pay full attention to the tour and additionally means you don't encounter a lot of the big groups on the trail itself.
We also did the amazon extension, i was dubious about flying mid holiday but it was only 30 minutes and the adventure began on arrival so you didn't feel like you had lost a day of your holiday. We had 2 boats trips and a trek to the lodge with drinks on arrival and a night walk. The staff at the lodge were friendly and food excellent. The guides were very knowledgeable and were happy to tailor activities to your preference. We saw a wide range of animals even though there was a cold spell. Animals we saw included black caymens, monkeys, turtles, insects, giant river otters and many birds.
Over all a brilliant experience, only advice i have if doing this trip is pack luggage in two sections - clothes for Inca trail and clothes for Amazon as ours were all slightly smelly by the time we arrived in the Amazon and we didn't do laundry although facilities are available in Cusco with a 2 hour turnaround, also take binoculars.
Thanks for a brilliant adventure.

ACO review from Jonathan Brine
Aconcagua Ascent
My most enjoyed moment was summiting, of course, and sleeping for 13 hours after summiting! The general organisation on the mountain for all the basic things such as food and accomodation etc. was of such a high standard that we were able to relax and enjoy the trek with no additional concerns.<br /><br />I chose KE because of the company's experience of Aconcagua, the design of the itinerary with plenty of acclimatisation time and those extra days for summiting.<br />< br />Only a small detail, but I would advise trekking poles to be essential equipment. I'm not a regular user of poles but from base camp to the summit they were a particularly important part of my success.

Highly enjoyable walking hill climbing and wildlife / landscape viewing holiday
The Best of Borneo and Mount Kinabalu
The holiday was extremely enjoyable. The cave viewing and river safaris being exceptional. I anticipated the cave viewing would be enjoyable but has a definite "Wow" factor.
The Pinnacles climb is only for the fit as not only is it very steep, it has to be climbed at a reasonably quick pace to reach the viewpoint before the clouds roll in. I underestimated it and had to turn round. The Mt Kinabula climb was a strenuous but not a exceptionally hard climb at a steady rate. I foun d the descent on steep broken ground and interminable steps, which seemed to go on and on, exterely hard on the thighs.
Overall a very enjoyable holiday, which I would thoroughly recommend.

A really relaxing gentle walking holiday
Coastal Trails of Gozo
This is a really lovely gentle walking holiday.

The scenery on the circumnavigation of Gozo is surprisingly varied and interesting without involving especially taxing walking. More generally Gozo is a very beautiful little island peppered with some attractive small towns. Victoria is a highlight and a good choice for the free day. It is easily accessible by bus or on foot. The Citadella is a wonderful piece of medieval architecture.

The day trip to Malta works w ell, although there isn't enough time to do the sights of Mdina and Valetta justice.

Amazing Nepal - a challenging bike ride!
Pokhara to Kathmandu Mountain Biking
We had an amazing action packed trip, started of by white water rafting near Pokhara followed by 9 days of superb X-C mountain biking. Pramod and the Nepalese cook team looked after us exceptionally well and provided a wide range of meals. Nights were warm and days were hot (up to 35C), so definitely no need for any warm kit. The X-C biking included a real mix of jeep track, single track downhill, a few k's of tarmac, the choice was limitless. Wild camping with bathing in the rivers was ju st amazing, the fireflies in the evening were just magic. Cycling through villages that were destroyed by the earthquake 12 mounts ago was a humbling experience, the local always greeted us with the customary greetings and welcome. A must-do adventure.
