Wonderful Crete
Walking on Crete

We had never been to Crete before, but this trip was a wonderful insight into the history, culture, cuisine and scenery. The walks were a mix of mountains, hills, coast and gorges and we enjoyed it all. Accommodation and food were superb throughout.

A great time at the Amalfi Coast
Trails of the Amalfi Coast

Had a great time at the Amalfi Coast. Our guide Tancredi was excellent. Very knowledgeable and always went the extra mile. Hotel was good. The pizza making night, winery tour and limoncello night all added to the holiday. Seeing Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii was highlight of my trip.

A good walking holiday
Through the Heart of the Balkans

This is a holiday for serious walkers who want a snapshot of the Balkans, the long days walking do not allow for a lot of time amongst the local people but the travelling between the overnight stops does show off the different countries. We were blessed to have humorous local drivers with a good knowledge of the areas we were passing through.

Great days walking in good company
High Tatras Trekking - The Carpathian Mountains

I had some great walks, in good company, through two countries that were completely new to me. Our guide, Jakub, was cheerful and communicative. Factors beyond his control, including the weather,
meant he had to work harder than expected to ensure we had a great trip. Copious amounts of food. In fact, more than I needed for lunch. A great place for the final night of the trip. Fairly close to the station to the airport.

Lovely Scenery
High Tatras Trekking - The Carpathian Mountains

A challenging but enjoyable trip. We had inclement weather for the last 3 days, so the days were moved around to accommodate an ascent of Rysy earlier than planned. The scenery is magnificent and it is a very clean environment with everything looked after. The trails though pleasant were much busier than I expected.

Exceeded my expectations
Trekking The Transylvanian Alps

We had perfect weather, a stimulating group and Gabriel is an excellent guide. The scenery and challenge of the trek exceeded my expectations and the cultural interludes were interesting. Observing the bears was expensive, but I'm glad I did it!

An amazing adventure
The E5 Alpine Crossing - Oberstdorf to Merano

This isn't like any holiday I've been on before but I loved every minute / mile of it! The scenery is exceptional, the walks are varied, the hotels are gorgeous and the spa's are a great reward after a hard day. You also meet some lovely people that are like-minded. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

A great trip to some of the iconic places in southern Africa
The Great Southern African Lodge Safari

This a long trip with a lot travelling which gets to be quite tiring, but there are many magical places and moments which more than compensate for the discomfort.

Great experience
Walking Highlights of the Canadian Rockies

Alex the guide looked after us very well and those Rocky Mountain vistas are terrific. Camping was comfortable (only me in my tent) with self-inflating mattress to sleep on. Food through the days was good, tasty and healthy.

Some of my favourite days hiking ever.
Trekking The Transylvanian Alps
The Moldoveanu trek, staying overnight at Podragu hut, offered two of the best days of hiking/scrambling I have ever had, in absolutely beautiful mountains (and sunshine). And our guide, Gabriel, was fantastic: extremely capable and companionable. I highly recommend this experience. The rest of the trip was good, with a balance of walks and sightseeing: maybe a bit too sightseeing heavy for me: I just prefer more hill time. BUT if you get the opportunity to visit the hide at the place where the ... rangers feed wild bears (an optional extra), I would definitely recommend going: a highlight of my trip. When thinking about booking this trip, definitely make sure that you take note of the long descents and be aware that you will be sleeping on the second night in a very basic mountain hut without running water or an inside toilet (excellent food though!). In September we needed lots of warm clothes overnight there (3C outside). The second hut has basins and inside toilets, but very basic food. Trip food was generally really good (delicious BBQ meat in Bran) and there's plenty of it, but very limited veggie options. I recommend adding a day before /after in Bucharest if you haven't been before (book the Ceausescu mansion and the Palace of parliament in advance if you want to go). The trains between Bucharest and Sinaia (start of trip)/Brasov (end of trip) are frequent and cheap and offer an alternative to the airport transfer for flexibility. Romania is beautiful - highly recommended.

Many thanks to all at KE
Trans Kalahari Camping Safari

Wonderful trip. Clear info. Great customer relations. What a wonderful trip. Very very tiring but we knew that. Not for everyone but lived up to our expectations due to staff, wildlife and sense of adventure.

Finally reached the summit of Rysy
High Tatras Trekking - The Carpathian Mountains
Third time lucky for us trying to do this trip, thanks to Covid. The trip has evolved significantly since our first booking. These changes are very much for the better, eg as the Polish side of Rysy is incredibly busy (think of the recent news stories on the top of Snowdon) and has become more objectively dangerous (stone fall). The pay off was spectacular mountain scenery which lived up to expectations. Guide Jakub was very enthusiastic and keen to share his knowledge of the area. This ... enthusiasm was helpful as the team negotiated heavy rain and no views in the second half of the week (such is the life in the mountains!). Note the walk descriptions of Day 2 walk isn't accurate eg height gain (1300m), 24km, 10 hrs but it is a great walk. At times we felt the trekking was somewhat rushed - a quick pace and not enough time to take a break or photos.
The guide worked hard to rearrange the schedule so that we could successfully climb Rysy given the poor weather forecast. The team very much appreciated this change as it gave the team an excellent summit day. The Slovak guide Veronika was especially helpful on the summit day.
Overall the accommodation was very good especially the hotel in Zakopane and first two mountain huts. The last mountain hut was packed and had no drying room! The group hotel in Krakow is well out of town / not near city centre or train station cf cheaper hotels that are nearer and quieter eg Cracow Central Aparthotel we booked for ourselves prior to the holiday. We were disappointed with the last night meal where we were overcharged by 20% and did not get a chance to agree the set menu in advance (which turned out to be a very poor choice both in terms of what was available and people's dietary requirements).
Some additional notes you may be useful:
If arriving ahead of the group note it is easy to use train from airport to city centre when you know that you can buy your ticket on the train from a machine or conductor.
A visit to the Wieliczka salt mine is well worthwhile and is easily reached on the train.

A great and varied walking holiday
High Tatras Trekking - The Carpathian Mountains
The High Tartras is a stunning mountain area with good paths and signposting, perfect for a walking holiday, but also very busy. Jakub was a very enthusiastic and knowledgable guide and It was much appreciated that he was able to change the days around in order to climb Rysy on a sunny day before the bad weather arrived, when this would not have been possible. At times the trek felt too rushed for lunch and toilet breaks, photo stops and just enjoying the dramatic scenery. The mountain huts ... were of overall good quality and the food provided was always excellent and abundant. However, the last meal in Krakow was a disappointment and the hotel not very well located for the restaurant choice or for exploring Krakow.

Madeira
Levada Trails and Peaks of Madeira

All transfers to and from airports and from hotels were on time. The hotels were comfortable and the meals and picnics were always good. The walks varied in their scenery and our guide was very knowledgable of the area and the birds and plants, and he looked after us well. We had a great time.

Great trip with beautiful scenery
Mountains and Lakes of Kyrgyzstan

A really good introduction to Kyrgyzstan and the Tien Shan mountains. Great itinerary with some good, challenging walks. Yurt and tent camps were much better than expected, especially considering the remote location. The food provided was good. Having all meals included made everything easier and was good value for money

Great trip, tough hiking but worth it
Mountains and Lakes of Kyrgyzstan

Good company, trip was well run. A few things didn't go as planned, taxi etc, but food and accommodation was good and the hikes were good.
