An excellent holiday.
Guatemala's Magnificent Seven

I have real problems with the ke website and brochure. What is the point of a brochure that doesn't! Detail holidays? What bright spark thought that up? Why doesn't the website allow seamless searching? All of which is a pity as our holiday to Guatemala was one one the best we have been on. Great guides, great itinerary, a holiday to remember. Worst part was transiting through Houston. Would recommend a non-us flight.

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review and we are glad that you enjoyed your experience, climbing Guatemala's magnificent seven volcanoes. We are proud of our new-look brochure which is full of interesting stories and inspiring images from our own staff and leaders who know the countries we visit like no-one else. Brochures which are nothing more than a catalogue of trips more easily found online, are no longer as useful as they once were and this was the overwhelming feeling of our clients from our survey conducted in May 2015. We will continue to improve our search facility to make it as easy as possible for you to find your perfect trip every time and we are happy to read that your latest holiday with us was such a success.

Great cycling!
Road Cycle Tour of Toubkal

As was the case with our Catalonia trip, our trip to Morocco was fantastic. Ben Walker and Ahmid are highly professional and sociable guides. Most of us rented bikes and the bike store was top notch. We had brand new Cannondales. The trip itself was amazing. The High Atlas are beautiful, and the contrast between the High Atlas and the desert is stunning. I highly recommend this tour.

A brilliant trek to an iconic place
Everest Base Camp Trek

A great trekking trip, led by a superb leader. Arriving at Everest Base Camp and the next morning climbing Kala Patar was awsome

Wonderful trek in the mountains of Morroco
Peaks and Valleys of Jebel Sirwa - Morocco
Fascinating trip to a mountainous region to the south of the Atlas. The walk was very varied, from walks through villages to scrambling up mountain peaks. Fabulous views, amazing scenery and a great crew and guide. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
We walked for around 6-8 hours a day. Despite some quite rough sections and loose scree, the walking seemed quite easy. Our guide paced it very well to suit the group and we always had time to look at points of interest and, of course, ha ve a lovely lunch!!

Fantastic trip. Stunning scenery. Remote and relatively untouched by tourists
Shey Gompa and Inner Dolpo
This remote region of Nepal is spectacular. The terrain is varied and provides much contrast, from alpine forests, to high passes above tree line, to dry, tibetan high-plateau. We saw only 3 or 4 other trekking groups. Culture is relatively uncorrupted by contact with westerners, esp compared to Annapurna and Everest regions.

Ben Walker was an excellent guide. Cheerful, fun, and very attentive to needs of the group and staff.

Highly recommended!

A superb experience in a fascinating country
Buena Vista Cuba
BVC is an excellent trip introducing visitors to Cuba. This is a Caribbean island which is set to change in quite a major way in the coming years. Go now, while it's still very authentic.

The accommodation on this trip surpassed our expectations - particularly the time spent in Vinales and the Playa Ancon hotel (with all-inclusive being a bonus!). Also, the food is much better than the trip notes suggests: there is quite a lot of choice (difficult, though, if you are not a meat-eater) and the service is friendly. Some people may be a little put off by the cuts of meat provided, or with the lack of fresh fruit and vegetables. What has to be remembered is that what you often eat in Cuba is what is in season - so we got a lot of pineapple but no coconut, for example! Go at a different time of year and you'll likely get beautiful mangoes and avocados.

This trip involves quite a lot of moving around but the roads are pretty good and the transport was fine (but there were only 4 of us so there was plenty of room to spread out). Our guide, Amauris, was friendly and the driver, Alfredo, very sweet. It's worth noting that not all activities in the trip notes are definite. For example, we didn't get to go on a Russian lorry drive and the optional salsa lesson was never offered. Cuba works quite differently to other countries and things do change at last minute. As long as you're prepared to accept this and go with the flow, you'll have a super time!

All in all, this was a great trip. Go with an open mind and soak up everything this country has to offer you. Don't be put off by some standards you might not get in the developed world - having said this, many places we visited were as good as, if not better than, what we would find in the UK. And make sure you enjoy the mojitos: they're good!

amazing trip
Inca Trail and Machu Picchu - Private Kalla Group

The Inca Trail is truly a once in lifetime experience. KE puts together a splendid tour which is organised extremely well - our guides Ruben and Louise went out of their way to make trip seamless and amazingly special, they are extremely knowledgable and nothing was too much trouble.

the hike itself is not too difficult although it is harder to breathe at the high alititude. despite this the whole group managed well.

i would highly this if you are looking for an adventure holiday

Discover Vietnam from south to north on a bike - an amazing experience
Cycle Saigon to Hanoi - Vietnam South to North
Before I left, I knew that I was going to like it .... I actually loved it ! This was my first cycling holiday, and I will no doubts have many more holidays similar to this (although I think it is going to be difficult to ever be as good as that one !). Cycling is a great way to discover a country, and has been really good to cover the full length of Vietnam from south to north, on back roads, enabling us to have an insight of the authentic life of the Vietnamese people. I will always remember t he little kids voices screaming "hello" from the back of their houses as we were passing by, or the smiles on the people faces when we were going through countryside villages. This trip is quite challenging and you should come prepared to some serious cycling in very hot temperatures - or you always have the option of the air conditioned van ;-) ! The trip is very well balanced, with the longer and more challenging rides at the beginning, easing up as the time goes when you become a little bit tired. The days off the bike are welcomed and ideally located too. Everything is done for you to enjoy the experience and well thought - from the choice of the hotels, the transports (like taking a plane from Hanoi to Dalat to avoid wasting too much time in the van) and the food your eating, the days were you are free for your dinner so you can have western food for example. There is a good balance between time on the bike and time to rest and the itinerary is great to be challenging but yet achievable to enjoy like a holiday. Last but not least, our guide Tuan was absolutely top star. He is a wealth of knowledge and was able to answer all our questions with humour and authenticity. He has been able to adapt to our small number and our expectations. He proposed us slight changes to the programme to be able to squeeze more fun in - which was greatly appreciated. He seemed truly and honestly pleased to show us his country and opened up on every subject. The driver in the south - Djun was great too, always waiting for us at the next stop with our favourite drink or fruit (which was different for all of us !). In summary, I greatly appreciated : - the format of a cycling holiday that was perfectly planned - the way it was organised : not too much, but not too few, with enough rest but also action, and the possibility to see the main cultural highlights - the tour guide - the comfort of the hotels - the great food : very varied from street food to high end restaurants I can only recommend it to anyone willing to see Vietnam for the first time off the beaten tracks, associating sport with cultural discovery :-)

Fantastic. We'll run and superbly managed by Miguel our local guide.
Camino de Santiago Trek
A fantastic adventure. The group was brilliant and Miguel our guide was superb. It really was like walking with life long friends. Despite the weather which cannot be guaranteed each step of the way was so enjoyable.
All meals at each stop over were superb. The accommodation was also great at each stop. Only one slight downside was at our next gets stay at the Pension de Rei in Palas de Rei, the bedrooms as well as the entire building were so so cold. All of us found this to be the case . The staff did turn up the heating but I spite of that a cold night was had by all.
Overall I would recommend this trek.
Well managed and run.
This being my second trek with KE I would have no hesitation in also recommending KE as a company to book an adventure with.

Thank you

A really enjoyable MtB trip and a great way to experience life in rural Nepal
Pokhara to Kathmandu Mountain Biking
This was a 9 day sustained MtB journey with overnight camping so be prepared for a couple of tough days towards the end of the trip.

It was hot and humid in March/April so we didn't need any warm clothing, even at night. The humidity meant misty weather. We only saw the Himalayas on one day, on the transfer day to Pokhara, but that was a great sight. The trail-side scenery and rural life is very varied and continuously interesting.

The aftermath of last yea r's earthquake is evident in the Gorkha region but it was amazing to see how resilient and cheerful the villagers were. They locals are just so open and friendly despite having very hard lives (particularly the women). I found it quite humbling and would encourage others to go to Nepal and help to restore the levels of tourist spending.

Our group was four riders and five support staff. It was extremely well supported by Katmandu-based Mountain Expeditions. Their bike guide, Pramod, is a top cyclist and all-round great chap. The chef and camping team were very good too.

Thoroughly recommended.

A fantastic introduction to Central America
From the Pacific to the Caribbean
This trip exceeded our expectations. It was a fantastic mix of culture, history, wildlife and activities (surfing, zip wiring and boarding down an active volcano). We visited beautiful cities such as Granada and Leone in Nicaragua and Suchitoto in El Salvador. We learnt all about the recent political struggles in these countries. However, we all also visited Mayan ruins In El Salvador and Copan in Honduras. The trip is very relaxed and there are opportunities to swim as some hotels have pools an d we were often staying at the beach. There are some long travelling days however the trip is so well organised that these days were punctuated by stops at interesting quirky little towns or volcanic crater lakes. El Salvador is a hidden treasure, we were often the only tourists staying at hotels and in local towns. The beaches in El Cuco were expansive with few hotels, the sea was warmer than the shower in the hotel. We released 1 day old turtles which was particularly memorable. During the course of the trip we frequently referred to our guidebooks which in my opinion were very negative about Honduras. We did not experience any difficulties on this trip, we went to local bars in the evenings and people were warm and welcoming. We felt safe at all times. Our guide Joaquin was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about everywhere we visited. He took us to local traditional restaurants and in Suchitoto we went to a bar which is frequented by rebels from the civil war which was a really interesting experience. He was kind and responsive and did his best to make our holiday memorable. We have travelled extensively and have been to Central (and South) America many times. However, if you are looking for a holiday which has a relaxed pace with a mixture of history, culture, activities and wildlife. I would strongly recommend this trip. KE have done a first class job putting the itinerary together.

Different experience!
Edge of the Sahara Trek
I’ve always had a preference for mountain landscapes, places where scenery, climate and altitude vary along the way. This new experience has been very different, the uniformity of desert landscape is only broken with an endless sea of dunes, admirable and majestic dunes that are filled with shadows at dusk. The Sahara Desert is different, beautiful and violent; a merciless sun exhausts the hiker, the evening wind comes loaded with sand, sand flowing through tents and clothes that reaches every where.
A searing and cruel landscape, a vivid and infinitely beautiful landscape that you never forget.

Excellent autumn cycling experience
Tour of Gran Canaria

Great road cycling. I hadn't been to any of the Canary islands beforehand. Much more scenic inland than I was expecting. Challenging but doable climbs every day. Excellent local bike hire. A great week of relaxing cycling.

6 days of great road cycling on quiet roads under blue skies.
Cycle Cheeky Cols of Costa Blanca
After the surreal experience of cycling through Benidorm at 10 am on a Sunday morning it inland for most of the next 6 days. Brilliant quiet roads. Hard to believe we were so close to the Costa. The Cols were certainly cheeky but never too steep or too long. Relaxing stops for coffees and traditional lunchtime food made for a great experience. Can't thank Jose and Angel enough for everything. Especially the paella. Local bike hire was reasonably priced and efficient. I broke a spoke on the first day and had a new wheel on the bike to start riding from first thing the next day.

A breath taking experience
Inca Trail and Machu Picchu - Private Kalla Group

Our group of 12 did the full Inca trail with KE. We were treated with amazing service and absolute professionalism. Our guide Ruben and assistant guide Luus with a crew of 20 were just amazing continuously surprising us with amazing gourmet style food, making every effort to cater to all our needs. The organization was incredible, and the team was flexible. KE communicated perfectly with all of us. Thanks for a memorable experience.

An itinerary jam-packed with unforgettable experiences of a lifetime...
Tigers, Temples and the Taj Mahal - Easter Special - Family
Wow !...what a fantastic experience and family holiday. The itinerary covered so much we felt that we had been away for much longer than the 10 days we were actually in India. As well as seeing those iconic Indian sights we enjoyed the unforgettable experiences of visiting a village primary school (no tables or chairs let alone IPads or computers) where through our fantastic guide, Manoj, the children enjoyed games and singing; and a fantastic evening in Jaipur with an Indian family who taught u s to cook some of their traditional family recipes. Manoj was fantastic with our 8 year old who, as a result of Manoj's ability to engage with her on a level that suited her, was engaged 100% with what the trip had to offer. It cannot be denied that this trip is anything other than full-on with many early starts and little down time, but the rewards are well worth it... you can sleep when you get home.
