Everest Basecamp Trek
Everest Base Camp Trek

Extremely well organised. Sonam was an extremely professional, knowledgable and experienced guide. We also enjoyed evening talks on topics such as Buddhism, mountaineering and the caste system which enhanced our knowledge and understanding of Nepal. Sonam made this a once in a lifetime holiday! Highlight - The journey itself, following in the footsteps of mountaineers and learning about the sherpa people.

Lovely limestone, ancient terraces
Secret Sierras of the Costa Blanca

Everyone loves limestone landscapes and this series of expertly-curated walks provides plenty of interest. The extent of ancient terracing is remarkable. Food is generally very good. A KE grade 6 meant I was adequately stretched (I usually go for higher grades).

Desert Days
Edge of the Sahara Trek

Fantastic experience that far exceeded my expectations. Dark desert nights under amazing star filled skies, dreamy desert vistas and great food. This trip spent just the right amount of time in what can be quite harsh conditions. The journey to and from the desert is quite long (7+ hrs) but plenty of interesting landscapes to pass the time.

Our crew were great , even during Ramadan which was quite challenging for them. Our group bonded from day one and we had a lot of fun.

Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek
Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek
Annapurna Sanctuary was a beautifully organized trip, all parts working. Great communication, great staff throughout. Jangbu Sherpa was beyond outstanding in every way. He knows exactly what he is doing, maintains a beautiful self-effacing sense of humor and quiet confidence even as it soon becomes obvious that he sees everything and knows how to help along the way in a graceful way that responds immediately to both group and individual needs. A very impressive and friendly man; I would trust hi m to take me anywhere.

Amazing varied trekking holiday
Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek

A great experience exploring a very varied part of Nepal. The local team of porters and guides were amazing, and the scenery was the best we have seen anywhere - especially our days in the snow at Annapurna base camp.

Fantastic scenery
Walking Cape Verde - Santo Antao & Sao Vicente

Great walks along old established tracks and paths passing through fantastic scenery, irrigated terraces growing coffee , sugar cane etc, and local communities. On longer walks the conditions underfoot made the a bit more than ' leaisurely'.

Magnificent Adventure
Spires and Ice - Trekking Patagonia

KE was amazing from beginning to end: flights, transfers, accommodation and entry to National Parks all worked like a dream. We had a very able competent knowledgeable guide who was always calm, approachable and went the extra mile on many occasions, from glueing my husband's shoes to kicking stones out of my way when I hurt my ankle, all done with kindness and good humour. We were also blessed with amazing weather so every day was a delight, not least the amiable company.

An amazing holiday
Secret Sierras of the Costa Blanca
I had an amazing holiday. The mountains and terrain were spectacular and felt a million miles away from the tourist resorts on the coast. We had three holidays in one with the different accomodations, each of which were of good standard and special in their own way. In particular hotel Serella where we were treated so well and the meals were exceptional. The walks were well planned and adjusted for our needs. The day off in Althea was a treat with a beautiful old town to explore, stunning views and a hotel right on the beach. I can’t speak highly enough about the fantastic team that looked after us. Miguel and Chippy guided us on the walks and Jose oversaw the transfers and accomodation and arranged our paella meal on our day off. They were all incredibly supportive, encouraging, informative and fun. They really made the holiday.

The Classic Paine Circuit
Patagonia - The Classic Paine Circuit

KE offer what I consider to be real wilderness experiences. Luis is a true gentleman showing considerable care for his group and support team. Excellent idea to show us what he was carrying in his rucksack prior to our departure to Paine. Knowledgeable of his country.

Good communication on the whole and well organised holiday. Our guide Luis was fantastic, he as well as Juan and Yasser made the holiday very special. Nothing was too much trouble and Luis's knowledge of flora and fauna was amazing. He had a genuine enthusiasm for nature. He helped out with making sure arrangements were in place and made the holiday go smoothly.

Cape Verde
Walking Holiday on the Captivating Cape Verde Islands
This was a trip with some of the best hillwalking and mountaineering I have ever experienced. Our guide, Odair, was superb both as a mountain guide and as a source of information about Cape Verde.The ascent ( and even more the spectacular descent ) of the active volcano of Fogo was
amazing, with its drama, scenery and sheer exhilaration. The walking
on Sao Antao was truly memorable with walks through lush tropical valleys culminating in the stupendous Balcony walk. This was all s
upplemented by excellent food and accommodation most memorably at Leticia’s place at the base of Pico de Fogo.
The trip was not without its problems however. There were serious problems with flights getting off Fogo, back to Praia and on to Sao Vicente. The lack of information as to what was happening over a couple of days was frustrating and worrying. Odair made heroic efforts to deal with these problems but some part of the trip was lost.
In short an excellent trip but it might be advisable to do internal travel using the excellent and punctual ferry service rather than travelling by air. It might be difficult however to visit both Fogo and Sao Antao without having to resort to the unreliable and unpunctual internal air services.

It was a fabulous holiday made so good because of the group leaders who provided a very connected service, their hand-overs were good, and things were explained well in advance. there was lots of good humour and fun. Great photographs and films taken by the guides meant our memories are safe forever. Food was excellent, and we had an excellent Paella lunch in a restaurant hosted by Jose, which was great fun and much appreciated. An excellent holiday.

Excellent introduction to a lovely island
Walking Around Madeira
A very enjoyable self guided walk on a lovely island which was well organised on the ground. The hotels were fine and all the transfers worked well with helpful and friendly drivers. We were fortunate with the weather - warm and sunny with only one really wet day (Day 6). On that day we caught the bus rather than extending the walk into Funchal. We found the walks are not difficult though there is a steep road descent on day 5 down to Calheta. There are always taxis around offering their s ervices! By the end we'd perhaps had enough of levada walking which is lovely but inevitably gets a bit samey. We were disappointed on Day 2 to only do a half day walk on the Kings Levada and not along the coast because of erosion (?). The Kings Levada was superb at the far end but we were not sure why a longer walk could not have been devised while the path is being repaired. The GUIBO app was excellent and we rarely looked at the paper map and route instructions. We arrived a day early because of flight times on the Day 1 we did the alternative Day 2 walk from Portela to Porto da Cruz which was a really nice first walk though a steep descent into the town. As an introduction to the island this self guided walk is definitely recommended.

Cloud Forest, sunshine, and great company, on La Gomera
La Gomera - Jewel of the Canaries

A wonderful week of varied and well planned walks. Enekoiz is a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide who looked after us well and taught us a lot about the island. From the cloud forest to coastal paths there was always something new to see. La Gomera is a very beautiful island with a stunning range of flora.
Many thanks to Enekoiz, and our fellow travellers, for a memorable and hugely enjoyable week.

Variety is the spice of life on Spires and Ice
Spires and Ice - Trekking Patagonia
My first adventure with KE and I will jump at going on another.
Overall, everything went as promised and this itinerary has been well thought out. The 'W' circuit was hiked from West to East, which made for a gradual start with shorter and easier hikes to the climax of the last day view of Torres del Paine, a well earned treat. We had a rain and strong Patagonia winds on our ascent up the French Valley, and those with proper rain gear fared well. Note: those that took inferio
r rain jackets suffered, but the guides helped with extra clothes and aid to warm up.
Accommodation: We did 2 nights as planned at the Paine Grande and this was the least favourite as 6 people in 3 bunkbeds per room. Very difficult if you lucked out and got the top bunk as no guard rail or extra handles to go up the ladder. Quite loud - take earplugs. But this was near the start so soon forgotten. Next 2 sites were in a 'car' tent up on a platform with a sheltered ladder to access. I really liked this over the traditional crawl on the ground into the tent. It was comfortable but don't forget your headlamp as very dark inside. Other lodges were all very cosy and comfortable with private bathrooms.
Food- WOW, if you love lamb or beef, this is the tour for you. Every included dinner was exceptional, often with all you could eat lamb, cooked to perfection. Lunches on the trail included a large sandwich or empanadas or both, salad, dried or fresh fruit, trail bar, nuts. We often had too much and would give back the excess. Even the heartiest eater did not ever go hungry. We often joked we were eating our way through Argentina and Chile, and glad we were hiking to wear off excess calories.
Guides- We had 2 Chilean guides while on the W circuit, and 1 Argentinean guide for Fitz Roy area and all were exceptional and interacted with everyone in the group. I can't say enough great compliments about our KE guide- Louis. Exceptional, making friends with everyone as he met us on day 1 at the airport to saying goodbye. He melded the group and catered to everyone's needs and always made sure we were having the time of our lives. My vote for Guide of the Year. His daily explanation of what we were doing and what we should expect was often repeated. A best friend to all of us.
Hints- Chile and Argentina have different plugs. Take small bills for tips- US dollars also works everywhere, including the W circuit, but need to be in good condition. There are electrical outlets at every site on the W circuit.
