Inca Trail
Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
This was our second trek this year with KE following La Gomera in January, and we again had an unforgettable time. Any pre-trip questions were answered promptly and satisfactorily. Airport/hotel transfers were efficient. Our extra days in Cusco before and after the trek were a (photographic) joy. And then there was the trek itself: while tough at times (altitude plus the steep, stepped trail in places), it was all worthwhile for the mixture of landscape and Inca culture/history, culminating in ... arriving at the Sun Gate, gazing onto Machu Picchu for the first time and then being able to spend the afternoon and the following morning there, Though busy, it never felt crowded – except at the bus stop, although even that was an incredibly efficient operation. But the success of the trip was also, and especially, down to our excellent guide Uriel (so knowledgeable and friendly and with such a great sense of humour) and our outstanding crew of porters and cooks. It’s often the little things that set the tone and stay in the memory; for example, our crew introducing themselves to us (we returned the compliment!) at our first campsite, the individual bags containing our snacks on day 1, and the bowls of hot water delivered to our tents at the beginning and end of each day . Did I mention the food? Our 7-strong group contained omnivores, vegetarians, pescatarians and a vegan. All expertly catered for with a tasty and varied menu of meals. Tempted? You won’t regret it!

Beautiful Armenia
Armenia's Trekking Highlights
KE Adventure delivered another fantastic trip, this time in Armenia. The itinerary was well-planned, striking a great balance between culture, hiking, and camping. Our tour guide, Mariana, was incredibly knowledgeable and a wonderful ambassador for Armenian culture. She worked seamlessly with our hiking guide Gor, and the team dynamic was great. The food (while camping) was also delicious, thanks to our talented chef Srbuhi.
The first half of the trip went smoothly, but the second half's
... hiking and camping segment was impacted by the weather. On the second day, we woke up to heavy mist, which delayed our departure from camp by nearly three hours. However, we made the most of it by gathering in the main tent, enjoying coffee, tea, and cakes, and sharing laughs together. It was a great bonding experience. And we manage to complete the planned hike despite this delay.
We visited some stunning monasteries and got to sample delicious local food and wine. It was apricot season, and the local apricots were incredibly sweet and juicy - a real treat compared to the ones you'd find in UK supermarkets! The scenery was breathtaking too, with beautiful flowers carpeting

Fantastic Weeks Holiday
Walking Trails of Chamonix
Just returned from a fantastic week of walking in the Chamonix Valley. It was my first time Chamonix. The scenery was magnificent and the walking very well guided by our excellent guide Paul. He made sure that the pace each day was well within every ones capability. His knowledge of the area and it's history was first class. The highlight was definitely the visit to the L' Aiguille du Midi and the trip back on the train. An amazing holiday and well recommended for anyone who wants to explore ... the area.

In our many trips with KE my wife and I have always had excellent experiences - outstanding guides, fair price, accurate depiction of trips, excellent administrative support. Our guide Marion provided excellent leadership, good narrative, attention to safety, and responsiveness to the needs of each individual.

Many thanks for a great tour
Best of the Tour du Mont Blanc
It was our second trip with KEA and everything is so easy, with great communication, and the personal guide for the week was just the best. The KEA team were always very helpful when I asked any questions and the guide for the week was always clear with her instructions and always helpful with local knowledge. A great experience. All our accomodations were excellent on the tour - we felt spoilt at times too. Food - Absolutely first class in my opinion. Always a great selection and the quality ... in a few places were just superb. Our guide Marion was so helpful and knowledgable. A great asset to the company. She was always checking up on the group members, whether we were ok in regards to pace, comfort and happiness. She was always precise with her communication and always explaining her actions and decisions whilst on the tour. In my opinion great value for money as the quality of the accomodation and food was superb throughout.

Fantastic itinerary
Fjords and Fjells of the Lofoten Islands

One of the best holidays we've had. The great weather helped, and of course the amazing scenery of the Lofoten Islands! Our group worked very well together, led by wonderful Charlotte. Can't praise Charlotte high enough! Enthusiastic, knowledgeable, resourceful, great coaching skills, patient, great fun!

Salt flats and volcanoes of Bolivia
Salt Flats and Volcanoes of Bolivia

Excellent varied trip with great scenery and cultural content. Tough trekking to 5000m but the scenery was amazing. And the guide Juan was a great ambassador for all things Bolivian, mountaineering, flora and fauna. If you want to experience one of the most scenic countries in South America, go on this trip.

Lots of spring flowers
Levada Trails and Peaks of Madeira
Spring is a good time to visit Madeira. The wild flowers are at their best and water is flowing through the Levadas (probably does so year round)

Not having done enough research before the trip I wasn’t aware that Madeira was quite so hilly which made for interesting travel. Around the coast masses of tunnels have been burrowed through, but away from the coast the roads are steep and very twisty. If you are not a good traveller, you will need plenty of Gravol.

The hikes were a good
... mixture of ups and downs, with the reward of great scenic views and some level walking alongside the Levadas, and of course the flowers.

Hotels were comfortable and meals good and plentiful. Nice to have 2 nights at some stops.

Then Andreas “drink more water”, the guide. Full of knowledge, stories and advice. He kept his eye on the laggards (me) with help, while chatting with those we passed on the trail, especially the youngsters. He clearly loves his job.

Fantastic week's walking, with a first-class guide
Walking the White Mountains of Crete
Crete exceeded all expectations and the mountain walking was brilliant. The whole trip was made very special due to the competence, knowledgeability and sense of humour of our guide throughout the trip, Alice. She smoothed any minor issues, using her charm, good Greek and existing relationships with many of the taverna and resaurant owners. We were lucky in that the Sahara sandstorms and earthquakes which occured during our week didn't derail our plans - but if they had, Alice was well able to ... sort out alternatives. The ascent of Gingilos (1980m; located above the Samaria Gorge) was a great start - quite challenging terrain but a straightforward route. Very spectacular views. We stayed two nights in a family-run pension in Omalos. On the second day, our descent of the Samaria Gorge was delayed until most of the crowds had gone - making it a pleasant walk and cooler than earlier in the day due to the sun angle. A semi-rest day at Agia Roumeli (staying in another family-run pension) allowed for swimming and a local walk to a fort. Next morning we set off on a very scenic coastal walk, stopping at a taverna with no road access for a wonderful lunch. The coastal walk then continued to Loutro, where we caught a boat to Sfakia, where we stayed in a pension run by three brothers - who were great hosts. Just beware the raki; an appearance after every meal! Our first day's walk from Sfakia was ascending Pachnes, which is the highest of the Lefka Ori peaks (and only 5m short of Crete's highest mountain, Psiloritis). This involved a ride up to Anopolis, then onward up the shepherd's road to the roadhead at around 1800m. The landscape is quite special, with a high-altitude karst desert. The local shepherds move their flocks through this unique landscape - and the only thing which has changed in millennia is the use of pick-up trucks rather than walking. After the descent, we had a wonderful lunch in Anopolis, at the taverna I visited in 1982, when we presented the owner with a survey of the cave Drakolaki (Dragon's Cave) which we'd explored and surveyed the year before. It was fantastic to see that the survey was still on the taverna wall. The shepherds we walked in the mountains with all those years ago are now gone - but we met their sons, as well as the son of the original owner of the taverna. Quite a magical afternoon! The final walk was the Aradena Gorge, accessed by boat, followed by another excellent lunch in Anopolis - then a modest climb up before descending the zig-zag path to Loutra. The Aradena Gorge is much less busy than the Samaria - but just as spectacular. This is quite a flexible day; anyone wanting to could get a lift down from Anopolis, or a boat from Loutro - or walk the coat path to Sfakia. The final night was followed by a drive back to Chania in a growing dust storm! We actually spent the week before the walking holiday on Crete (Agia Galini) and the week after in Chania. I was maybe concerned that Crete might have lost some of its charm - but it really is as fantastic as it was 40 years ago.

Timeless Trails
Timeless Trails of Portugal's Algarve
Good range of trips, well organised on the ground, plenty of pre-trip info, office team helpful & knowledgeable. Lovely location & very peaceful. Cabins were simple but comfortable & clean. Jonathan & his family were very welcoming & hospitable. Violeta's cooking was outstanding - a real highlight. The walking was relaxing & low level (as befits the grade) but very enjoyable. Days were well laid out - Isabella provided a 45 minute stretch class before breakfast (an unexpected treat) & we had a ... leisurely start to the walking day. Often there was a swim stop at lunch time & we usually finished at a bar for a welcome cold refreshment.

Walking the Islands and Volcanoes of Sicily

Trip was perfectly planned, travel was seamless, good variety of activities and good meals covered by cost. Full days with a variety of activities, and good amount of personal time. Very well organized. Tony was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable, approachable, and enjoyable to be around. He truly cares about the guest experience. He went above and beyond and helped us with some post trip planning too.

Walking Camino - The Portuguese Way - 2 Weeks

A KE-er of many years I have always found KE to be excellent - everything works and the leaders are great. The range of standard hotels and exceptional guest houses etc on the Portugal Camino route was excellent. The best were undoubtedly the converted old buildings etc - a real taste of grand old Portugal / Spain.
