Fantastic trip - a real alpine experience away from the crowds
Secret Switzerland - Tour des Combins

Overall, a brilliant trip. Absolutely stunning mountain environments, (if you like the TMB but want a quieter alternative, you'll love this). The
right amount of challenging, a wonderful team of people, and good food to power us on each day. You'll need to be prepared for a bit of very simple communal living in the mountain huts, but it's 100% worth it.

AMAZING scenery - absolutely spectacular. Lifetime memories.
Across the Julian Alps to Triglav
One of the very best trips we have ever done for interest and scenery. The Triglav National Park is beyond spectacular. The Slovenians are lovely people. The KE notes need to be more upfront about the restricted food, scarcity of water, and the inability to shower due the extremely dry environment. Masa worked very hard with a diverse group. Very good pacing and clear about breaks which were well spaced and timed. Very kind and helpful - very clear about procedures etc at the huts. Calm and ... positive. She even got a little vegan food sent up for me. Very good local knowledge and history.

Stunning scenery and delicious food
Tastes and Trails of North Macedonia

Really enjoyed the walking, although for me the level was challenging. Some parts are very steep - not helped by the hot summer. But it's magnificent scenery, and Ohrid is lovely too.

And outstanding adventure, with the most beautiful scenery, and a true sense of accomplishment
Secret Switzerland - Tour des Combins

I am so happy that I did this adventure because it proved to me what I'm capable of and I feel like the sky is the limit now and I can't wait to join many more adventures!

Great short trek
Secret Switzerland - Tour des Combins

This trek lives up to KE's description as being less busy than the TMB. Superb scenery amongst rugged mountains. All the huts are in super locations with great views and the opportunity to stay at the hospice at the Grand St Bernard col at the end of the tour offers a different experience.

Incredible trip
Gran Paradiso Summits - Trek hut to hut in the Italian Alps

A fantastic, scenic, tough hike through the Grand Paradiso mountain range staying in great mountain refuges led by our superb guide Mark Charlton. A wonderful holiday.

Wonderful trek with historical add-on
The Ultimate Fann Mountains Trek
The Fann mountains offer wonderful trekking for moderate effort. The campsites we stayed in were in stunning locations, which we often had to ourselves. The lakes are a great focal point and are refreshing to dip in - seriously cold, though. Uzbekistan looks and feels more prosperous than Tajikistan - both are interesting. In July/August, it got up to 40 degrees in Dushanbe and Samarkand. Did not need any of the cold weather gear in the mountains, but that doesn't mean you won't! Bukhara is an ... easy and worthwhile add-on to the trip - less than 2 hours from Samarkand by train, visitable in 48 hours without rushing, and also served by Turkish airlines. 42 degrees there, but doable. Two Stans for the price of one!

Fabulous walks and scenery
Fjords and Fjells of the Lofoten Islands

The walks were interesting and fairly challenging with some scrambles and a few short sections of chains to help pull you up. On good weather days the views were stunning. On wet days, prepare to deal with boggy conditions! We had more than the usual amount of wet days I think, but I still enjoyed every minute and the views we saw were certainly worth the effort.

Had a great week in Lofoten
Fjords and Fjells of the Lofoten Islands

We had a great guide whose love for the place was infectious and kept us in good spirits even on the wettest days, and showed us the breadth and beauty of the landscape and culture.

A fantastic trip in the Caucasus mountains
Trekking in Georgia and the High Caucasus
I would highly recommend this trip, Georgia is a great country with lovely people, beautiful countryside, good food and a rich history and culture. The trip took us through some outstanding mountain areas with very good walking on good paths in great scenery. The walking was well paced with quieter days between the longer walks. Kote was an excellent guide, with very good English and a deep knowledge of the mountains and history. The support team was very good and looked after us well in the ... camps. If you can, I would recommend and couple of days in Tbilisi before joining the group to allow time to see more of the city and get over the travel.

Views over Africa
Climb Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro
This combined trip to take in the views over Africa from its two highest peaks was an amazing experience. The first week in Mount Kenya will of course help with acclimitisation for the ascent the following week of Kilimanjaro. However, it offers much more than this and is a true wilderness experience with significantly fewer other trekkers in comparison with the following week (brace yourself for the numbers on Kilimanjaro!). The scenery in the Mount Kenya National Park is stunning and some of ... the campsites are incredible locations so enjoy it for what it offers. The second week by nature is much more controlled as you ascend up the Machame route but the views are still incredible as you slowly gain height up Kilimanjaro. Summit Day is by necessity a long one. However, with the right mindset you'll achieve your dream of summitting the highest point in Africa and all the personal rewards this brings you so don't be put off by how long the day will be and any discomforts likely to be experienced - you'll make it!
Some practical advice includes: Unless the trip notes are updated ensure you bring along your Yellow Certificate Inoculation Certificate, otherwise you'll need to pay $50 at the border crossing into Tanzania (and have a new inoculation!). Also, whilst the risk of malaria is very low/non-existent on both mountains you should still take anti-malaria tablets for the full duration of your trip. Check though with your Medical Travel Clinic for the latest advice before travelling. If your back in Nairobi at a reasonable time from Mount Kenya (say mid-afternoon) you should be able to get some laundry done at the hotel before you leave the following day to Tanzania. Don't underestimate how cold it can get whilst camping so play heed to the trip notes regarding the need for a 4-season sleeping bag. Also, ensure you've the right type of warm clothes for evenings and summit day where you'll be climbing overnight. During the day though be prepared for warm conditions. Take some wet-wipes for keeping clean on Mount Kenya although some of the camping locations are close to lakes (if you're brave enough to wash in very cold water!). On Kilimanjaro, warm water in a basin is provided most days.

Beautiful Georgia
Trekking in Georgia and the High Caucasus

I did this hike as part of a longer holiday in Georgia, including a bike tour and some of my own travel. I have fallen in love with Georgia and the hike was everything I hoped for as part of this. Scenic mountains, lush wildflowers, friendly people who are so proud of their country with its eventful history. Konstantin and the whole support crew looked after us really well and we were privileged to visit some of the remoter parts of Georgia.

If you love the Dolomites you'll adore the Picos
Traverse of the Picos de Europa

A spectacular range of jagged limestone peaks and plunging gorges, often draped in low clouds from the Bay of Biscay marine inversion. Real eye candy for mountain lovers. Moreover, it is a unique experience, as the absence of conifers gives the Picos an aspect unlike any high mountains in Europe, or for that matter, any high mountains in the north temperate or boreal regions. Highly recommended for all fit enough to tackle the terrain.

Unspoilt corner of the world
Celestial Mountains Snow Leopard Trek

If you want to trek somewhere that feels untouched, this is the trek for you. Often there are no paths, the only people you see are your crew and a couple of shepherds and the scenery is stunning. Beautiful wild flower meadows, crystal clear rivers (that you have to wade across multiple times!) and amazing passes with views of the snowy Tien Shan. I can't recommend highly enough.

Come for the dunes, stay for … well, everything!
The Great Southern African Lodge Safari

My friend and I had the trip of our lives. Constantly changing scenery; experienced, knowledgeable and fun guides, excellent accommodation (cannot rate my decision for buying single supplement highly enough!) - the list goes on. We both got what we wanted from the trip (elephants and hippos for her; the red dunes of Sossusvlei and loads of giraffes for me). I'd recommend you go just for the sunsets.

Pristine trekking in a fascinating destination
Celestial Mountains Snow Leopard Trek
This is a very special trip to a very spectacular but unvisited area. The scenery is stunning with lush grasses and wild flowers, and beautiful clear rivers and streams common place. High passes give splendid views to 7000m peaks including Khan Tengri and provide access to remote, more mountainous areas. We saw no other trekkers but met numerous local nomadic shepherds who offered hospitality willingly which enriched the trip immensely. The local crew were fabulous and the camping extremely ... comfortable in beautiful locations under the most starry skies. An exceptional trip that we cannot recommend highly enough.
