An unforgettable cultural and trekking experience
The Druk Path Trek
Our first visit to Nepal and Bhutan. We were lucky enough to see Everest from our aeroplane window on the flight to Paro. What an experience. Some sightseeing days are long with some lengthy drives and the roads are not great. Our group gelled really well with most of them having multiple trips at altitude. We all looked out for each other. The trek is basic and not for the faint hearted. The porters do an incredible job of rustling up 3 good meals a day and snacks in between. You will not need ... to supplement any food on the trek. The scenery is outstanding and after a very soggy hike to Tigers Nest, we were rewarded with long sunny warm days for our 5 day trek. The hotels were mostly excellent throughout and any niggles soon rectified. Our guide Yassi was brilliant showing care and concern for the group and he was very informative on the sightseeing trips.

Bhutan
Festivals of Bhutan

I had been hoping to visit Bhutan for quite a few years and when I finally visited the country, it did not disappoint. The culture, festivals, mountains and the Tiger's Nest to top it off was wonderful. The experience was also very educational.

Gorgeous Albania
Hiking Highlights of the Albanian Alps
This self guided walking holiday in Albania was my first visit to Eastern Europe and I hope will be one of many. We felt safe and welcomed, and everything went smoothly, with kind friendly people looking after us. The scenery of the Albanian Alps was superb and we liked having different options of walks where we had two nights in the same location. The lesser known walks off the beaten track were preferable to the very well known and busy (but beautiful) Valbone Pass. The farm stay at the end ... of the trip was fascinating, with delicious food. Thank you KE, another great trip to add to my memory bank.

Wonderful walking with fantastic hosts
Timeless Trails of Portugal's Algarve

The walking was wonderful, fantastic coast line. But what made the trip extra special was the way in which our hosts welcomed us into their home and family. Nothing was too much trouble. The rustic one centre holiday in such a beautiful location was wonderful. The walking was just challenging enough. The food and relaxed atmosphere provided by our hosts was the icing on the cake!

A 'Bostin' bicycle tour in The Balkans!
Balkan Trilogy Road Cycle Tour

This is a varied and challenging cycle tour with fantastic views of the Adriatic coast when riding the challenging climbs. The architecture and geography are interesting, the food and accommodation enjoyable. We had two guides who were both competent and accommodating in supporting the cycle group throughout the tour, which is highly recommended.

Great Hosts and a Wonderful Guide
Walking Wild Tuscany
I enjoyed everything about this trip: another great KE experience. The accommodations were first rate and the dinners delicious. Our hosts were charming and helpful. Our guide was up there with the best. Wild Tuscany is every bit as beautiful and interesting as advertised. This was a doable but challenging hike for me, given the elevation gain, which is accurately disclosed in the trip notes. I've always loved Tuscany and it is so rewarding to have discovered another side of this wonderful ... region.

Amazing scenery
Walking in Cappadocia

We had an excellent time - the walks were varied and the scenery spectacular. The ancient churches were fascinating. All the luggage transfers and hotel stays were well organised.

Levada Trails and Peaks of Madeira

Another fabulous trip
Peaks and Valleys of Jebel Sirwa - Morocco

Another truly memorable trip. We came across sculptural rocks that gave off a spiritual feel; a farmer planting his saffron and nomads tending their flocks. The muleteers worked hard and looked after us very well. Alli the chef went out of his way to prepare lovely meals and Younes, our tour leader was excellent, I definitely recommend this trip.

Amazing scenery
Mountains and Deserts of Kazakhstan

This trek lived up to expectations of varied and amazing scenery. The trekking was harder than expected and there were some long travel days, but well worth the experience.

Lazar was an extremely conscientious leader. He made sure everyone was safe on the trails and instilled the confidence in the group to complete the steep climbs! I appreciated his style of leadership.

A real adventure!
Victoria Falls to Cape Town

This trip is a real adventure through parts of Africa. A fast pace but well worth the time and great value for money. The days can be long but we saw so much and the stunning landscape and wildlife made the cycling so enjoyable and special.

Friendly people, Rugged land, Big days
High Peaks of the Balkans
I believe that 'variety is the spice of life'; which is why I chose the Balkans to trek, experience and learn. ... So glad that I did. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The landscapes in all four countries are rugged, peaceful and mostly remote. We trekked for 7/8/9 hours a day for four days; full mountain days, but not every day. In Kosovo, I had a wonderful steak, individually prepared at the table for me in an excellent 3* hotel. (!!! ... intrigued to go back and explore Kosovo more). On ... the Albanian border, near a high pass beneath Zla Kolata, we sat outside a very simple rustic mountain hut/cafe/'homestead' enjoying fresh local bilberries in a homemade sheep yoghurt = delicious. The summit of Gjeravica was a highlight and the boat ride on a bus route was fun!! Loved every minute of it. And as I've come to expect and trust ... ... K E give you a detailed and accurate description of the trip, followed by exactly what you were promised. Well organised and wonderful but here's the critique; to follow the itinerary and visit all four countries, there is a fair amount of travel in mini buses during the first 2/3 days. Not a complaint, but maybe the itinerary could be reviewed to reduce or spread this out? However, the four days mostly "Out There in wilder places" were excellent. Unfortunately, our Guide set a pace for the fastest trekkers, not the whole group and this was annoying. On occasion, we were spread out over 1/2 a mile or more in wild places and that was not good. In every other regard he was excellent ... so I'm hoping KE will "have a word". Other than this ... 5* ... again.

Peru has won our hearts
Ausangate Circuit Trek and Machu Picchu
Peru was simply magical. Ausangate Trek our chosen trip, 9 days hiking & camping at altitude is not for the faint hearted. Your body works harder, your sleep & appetite might be disturbed but the images of glaciated mountains, the bluest of lagoons,the views changed everyday,as did the terrain.The wildlife. The culture. The people we encountered.We were hiking in high remote mountain terrain & felt alive yet peaceful all at the same time. We enjoyed the horses & horsemen accompanying us each ... day, every member of the team from our guide Ever, to the kitchen team, Diego. George & Christian, to Abel, Roman & Rosses ( horsemen) worked SO hard to make our trip comfortable and unforgettable.The food produced surprised us each day, the small touches like a hot water bottle after dinner, which was definitely needed as the nights felt cold ,ice settled on the tents but revealed a sky full of stars.To them baking a birthday cake for my husband & presenting it in chef whites! To the music. & laughter shared each day. This was a trip of a lifetime for us which did not disappoint. The icing on the cake, a trip to Macchu Piccu. Peru perfection & a piece of hearts will remain there. No one singular adjective could do justice to the team or the experience you have to go there to see it, feel it & believe it's true.

Wonderful ridge walking
Across the Julian Alps to Triglav

Although the weather prevented us from getting to the valley of the six lakes and Triglav, the first half of the week was great trekking through stunning mountains whilst the second, wet, half was enjoyable walking through tranquil woodland. The accommodation was comfortable and sociable; it was good being able to stay high in wonderfully situated huts.

Slovenia is a beautiful country
Across the Julian Alps to Triglav

Slovenia is a beautiful country but the steep, rocky and slippery trail conditions require concentration and physical stamina. We had little time to enjoy the scenery or to learn about history and geology of this area. I really enjoyed my fellow hikers! This may be an ideal trip for people who are looking to test their conditioning and concentration.

By Gail from Enumclaw, WA | 04 October 2026

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review Gail. We understand that your group experienced some unseasonable weather which prevented the ascent of Triglav and, by the sound of it, also made for difficult underfoot conditions requiring some extra effort and concentration. We are pleased to read that despite this you found the scenery of the Julian Alps to be beautiful and that you enjoyed being with your fellow trekkers.

Excellent introduction to the Silk Road
Samarkand and the Silk Road
Nicely paced trip taking in the major historical sights of Uzbekistan with some time in the mountains. Accommodation is functional rather than luxurious with the exception of the excellent hotel in Samarkand. The highly anticipated "Mountain Resort" is actually a renovated soviet era children's summer camp with bunk bed dormitories. Although we had a dormitory per couple and the staff did their best to look after us and provided excellent food, it was a disappointment. We did not go hungry on ... this trip (buffet breakfasts and 4 course lunches and dinners) and learned a lot about Uzbek cuisine - particularly plov! If you like spicy food bring your own hot sauce - Uzbeks don't use the spices that they sell in the markets!
