Beautiful islands

Fjords and Fjells of the Lofoten Islands

Honestly - I am having a hard time choosing between Charlotte Markus and the famed Lofoten Islands - not sure which was better!!!! She was PERFECT - excellent guide, cook, and helped me so much on the challenging parts of the hikes plus gave me excellent technical instructions and tips to make my experience easier and better.

Trip of a lifetime. Fulfilled. Thank you Bart & KE.

K2 and Concordia

This was a trip of a lifetime for me. I had wanted to go for a long time. I found the KE process very helpful from the outset from advice about the visa etc to booking very easy. The actual trip was great. I achieved my objective off getting to base camp. The guide Bart was great. The food excellent. Overall a very positive experience thank you.

Always exceed expectations

K2 and Concordia

Our guide Bart is an expert on the Karakoram. I am delighted that he led the trip. He is upbeat, motivational and also caring. He did so much to keep the group happy over the course of the 3 weeks. It was a tough trip and this was reflected in the grade. The food was good considering we were camping for 14 days.

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!

Classic Haute Route July 2025

Classic Haute Route

Excellent trip and great support from our guide Mark Charlton. Scenery was amazing and we experienced all weather conditions from hot and sunny, to thunder & lightning, and snow storms :-). Each days pace was comfortable and steady, huts were comfortable with good food options provided. Would highly recommend

Harder than expected, but a spectacular hiking area.

Trekking Austria's Dachstein Circuit

Unfortunately we were forced to abandon the holiday after two days walking due to (minor) injury, but based on those two days we would say that this trip is harder than the trip notes and the 5 (moderate) rating would suggest. It appeared that the paths had suffered some storm damage and in places they were tricky to negotiate which meant that we took a fair bit longer to complete the walking than the trip notes suggested. This contributed to our decision to cut the holiday short, together with ... the very wet and stormy weather. The trip is advertised as an alternative to the Tour du Mont Blanc, but we have done that trip (my husband twice!) and would say that this is harder. We are, admittedly, in our 60's, but have done a lot of walking in the Alps and elsewhere, so we thought we knew what to expect. Having said that, this is a really spectacular area, and we intend to return some time.
Travel from Salzburg to Gosau is very easy using the excellent Austrian public transport system, and as we stayed in Salzburg for a night on arrival we were given a guest card which also paid for the cost of the transport to Gosau. The hotels and mountain hut that we stayed in were comfortable and welcoming. Who knows, had we been able to continue, we might have rated this trip a 5!

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review Caroline. As you know from our direct correspondence with you at the time, we were very sorry that you had to abandon your trip due to Steve's injury. We tend to agree with you that had you completed the trip you would most likely have rated it 5 stars. We hope Steve is recovering well and that you will both soon be back in the mountains.

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

Just what we were looking for

Walking in Cinque Terre

We found KE Adventure very easy to communicate with and very quick to respond to any questions we had. The maps, and route notes and GPX files made it very easy to follow the suggested routes. We enjoyed our walking holiday and it was just what we were looking for. We liked the self navigating element of the trip.

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.

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.
