Well organised

GR20 Corsica - The Complete Route

Hard to think of any ways it could be improved. Well organised, good communication and swift responses to queries pre trip. The itinerary - It was tough! Lovely to have swims in the rivers. Our guide Paulin - Really would like to score 11/10. Felt Paulin really looked after us well- felt very safe. His love of Corsica, the plants, animals, insects, birds, mountain way of life made us appreciate the landscape even more. Gave some good tips on moving quickly over the terrain. Food - Impressed by ... the vegetarian options!. Corsican cheese in the mountains tasted SO good. Plenty of food. Basic but good.

All in all it was a lovely experience and lived up to our expectations

Walking in Catalonia

We wanted a coastal path walk and we weren't disappointed. The terrain was rugged, but we were able to dip our feet in the Med during the day to cool off. Most of the routes passed through little resorts, beaches and harbours which broke up the day. The evening coastal village locations were lovely and there was always somewhere to eat out. Collioure is beautiful and we could have spent more time there exploring but due to transport issues we got there later than we had expected. Cadaques is ... also wonderful and the extra day there was well worth it.

Trek of a lifetime

GR20 Corsica - The Complete Route

This was the trek of a lifetime for me. Its success flowed from Paulin's leadership and the individuals within a well balanced group. I would book with KE again.

Whilst challenging, the GR20 was an exciting and enjoyable experience; all I could have wished for. So much of its success was due to our guide. Paulin's expert knowledge, tutoring, team building building skills, meticulous planning and energy created the conditions for a perfect trek.

The grading was accurate. Description of the ... refuges might have been better. The itinerary was very good, especially the adjustments offered by Paulin in response to opportunity and weather. It was a delight to be given such good quality fresh food. Catering at the refuges was a revaluation!

GR20

GR20 Corsica - The Complete Route

Been very happy with each of the KE trips I have taken. Great guide and a first class chap. Extremely knowledgeable and managed our trip fantastically. Nothing too much trouble and his relationships with the refuge owners and hotels was invaluable.

After 39 trips, I have no complaints.

Turkish Delight – Cycling in Cappadocia

I really enjoyed it. The scenery far exceeded my expectations. I never got tired of looking at the various rock formations. This was my first visit to Turkey, and certainly won't be my last. The Turkish people were friendly and the food was outstanding.

Faruk was a rock star! We were treated to a history lesson every day with him. He is extremely knowledgeable on many subjects and I really enjoyed talking to him. He took good care of us on the trails and made adjustments for those of us who ... did not want to undertake some of the more challenging terrain. I would highly recommend him to anybody travelling to Turkey. A great guy!

I usually lose weight on these trips. I actually gained weight on this one. The dinners were outstanding with numerous starters and sauces and great bread to dip in the sauces. Plenty of lamb, chicken and beef and fresh vegetables. I really liked the food.

I feel that KE offers good value for the money. That is one reason why I keep booking with you.

Excellence of service in all respects

Icefjords and Remote Villages of East Greenland

Really don't want to use all the usual superlatives here - this trip made my heart sing - such an enlightening sense of a whole other part of the world - lots of surprises, sharp intakes of breath, gasps of awe. Weaving among the icebergs down the Sermilik Fjord through an early mist that cleared to searing blue and a startling ice bow.... wow.

As an experienced but not 'top level' hiker/trekker, the itinerary was for me a good challenge without being overly daunting, so I felt stretched ... really positively! [Our guide] Einar is an absolute star - so good as a Leader!! Really enjoyed his company, the huge education he gave us on Greenland, his oh so dry humour, and all his practical care, not only when trekking, but in all our mornings and evenings together. Just brilliant, a joy to have got to know him. [The accommodation] was basic, but perfectly fine and if anything, better than I was ready for. I expected a bit of roughing it and enjoyed that. Anything else would not have felt right! If anything the food was more substantial than I expected, so that was a pleasant surprise. I would have been just as happy with lower quality and quantity, but as it was, delicious and delightful. And fun to prepare it together!

Many thanks for all your team behind the scenes!

Fabulous

GR20 Corsica - The Complete Route

Tough and exhausting but a fabulous once in a lifetime trek through breathtaking scenery. Available staff to talk to pre- trip, amazing guide who liaised with his local agency on our behalf when needs be.

Our guide Paulin - Absolutely excellent…. In every respect. Passionate about his country and keen to pass on knowledge. Looked after us all very well, focussed on those less confident if needs be, safe at all times and planned the days around the predicted weather. Great sense of ... humour…. Managed group dynamics well. Could not have wished for a better guide.

Tough walk , I think graded correctly. Could warn people of many very early starts and basic accommodation in tents. Refuge food was varied quality depending on road access to bring in supplies which is understandable.

Timeless Trails of Portugal's Algarve

Our week with Jonathan, Violeta, Isabella and Dylan, organised by KE Adventure, was the best holiday we’ve ever spent. The setting was idyllic, the accommodation lovely and the warmth of the company – both family and other guests – something to treasure.
We devoured every scrap of Violeta’s amazing food, ranging from fresh fruit platters, hot rolls, warm croissants, pastel de nata and pikelets, cold meats and cheeses, and hot dishes in the mornings, generously filled rolls for lunch, ... and extraordinary evening spreads with homegrown vegetables and salads, lovely meat and fish dishes and delicious puddings. Only the fabulous tapas, that went along with an impromptu wine tasting laid on by Jonathan, were so plentiful they eventually defeated us.
We spent five days walking amid spectacular coastal scenery, four of them in glorious sunshine, led by Jonathan or Isabella (sometimes accompanied by Alana the dog) and driven to and from by Jonathan and Dylan. On our free day we explored the nearby historic town of Lagos.
It was in so many ways a holiday that delivered more than was promised. We walked along perfect beaches, swam in the sea and in a neighbouring lake, went body boarding twice (taught and looked after by Jonathan and Dylan), did daily stretch or yoga classes led by Isabella and a local yoga teacher, enjoyed professional massages by Isabella, scoffed afternoon beers and ice-creams in cafes, and ate out at a couple of excellent restaurants.
If you’re thinking of visiting Portugal’s beautiful Algarve and enjoy walking, there’s no better way to do it.

Excellent

Icefjords and Remote Villages of East Greenland

Excellent service and advice. [Our guide Einar] - He was just amazing. A mine of information, helpful and a good cook. [The accommodation] - It was just simple houses. But what I expected and I loved the experience. Excellent doesn't necessarily reflect the facilities but the houses were clean and atmosphere good and just lovely.

Scandinavian Beauty

Walk West Sweden - Island Hopping

KE prepared an interesting itinerary and our trip was enjoyable. Highlights included warm sunny weather allowing sea swimming, comfortable hotels with excellent breakfast and good locations near public transport. The Västtrafik app was essential as per KE instructions - it provides accurate timetables and cheaper, hassle-free ticket buying. Public transport runs on time.
Minor issues: there was miscommunication about spa reservations (despite being advised of booked times) and a picnic was ... prepared a day early. Talking to reception upon arrival helped sort these.
One criticism: KE trip notes weren't fully accurate. Day 5 in Smögen offered a trip to Bohus island or a Kungshamn-Tullboden hike. Bohus island visits are only possible July-August; September's single ferry had a 2-hour limit, making the 10km walk impossible. The second hike lacked route notes and was unsupported (apparently forgotten in trip notes). We improvised and we completed this hike anyway. It was a good circular hike, the trail was well marked.
Knowing island visit limitations beforehand might've led us to travel in August instead of September. Smögen's small so we managed well with our own hike plan.

Secret Sierras of the Costa Blanca

The whole week was well thought through - the routes, meals, accommodation and overall grade - superb.

An outstanding trip, the itinerary was perfect and the grading spot on.

Across the High Atlas Trek

One of the best treks I have ever been on. It fulfilled all my dreams and expectations, crossing the High Atlas had been on my bucket list for decades and finally I had this wonderful opportunity. My first KE trip was in 1999, when I joined The Great Karakorum Traverse, which I see you now no longer offer. I followed that with Aconcagua and the Cordillera Huayhuash in later years, however I hadn't travelled with you since 2004. I was relieved to find that your pre-departure comms, and the way ... in which the trip was run was still of a very high quality, and I am very pleased that I decided to choose KE again after a break of 20 years!

Well organized, knowledgeable guides, safe traveling on some unusual routes

Across the High Atlas Trek

I loved the trip and despite it being really hard I would recommend to all my hiking friends. It was a really interesting adventure. Our guide Mohamed Rezki really took good care of us and his leadership was excellent. He had a great relationship with the muleteers also and everything went smoothly and we had a lot of fun.

Across the High Atlas Trek

Wonderful country to visit, the trip was tough, but had many highlights - colourful landscape, silence of the wilderness, passing through remote Berber communities, some remote campsites, ascents of M'gon and Toubkal

An interesting adventure

Icefjords and Remote Villages of East Greenland

This trip is for those who are strong, able walkers. Granite scree and boulder fields make for long, tough ascents and walks need good balance. You must be able to adapt to very basic and sometimes unhygienic, unmanaged accommodation. The decline in innuit culture is obvious, but non the less interesting to witness. Boat transfers across fjords are thrilling and scenery spectacular. The boat trip where we saw a sperm whale was definitely a highlight. We were blessed with good weather but ... things could be pretty bleak here if not. Overall, an interesting trip and to my surprise, with a (great) group of French speaking clients. I was the only client from KE so my French quickly improved! If you couldn’t speak any French this could have been a very long two weeks!

Successful trip

Cycling Amsterdam to Bruges

The trip was extremely well organised and more or less went without a hitch. Being self guided felt we had been given all the tools we needed to have a successful trip - bikes, maps , luggage transfer, good accommodation with helpful staff and useful information and ideas of places to visit. A bit daunted by the size of the navigation/ route notes but impressed by the amount of information the booklet contained. It was useful to have the numbers on a separate page. Great to have the app too. ... Only problem was that it was heavy on the phone battery. Wished we'd brought a power pack with us !!
