Thought provoking, educational and challenging

Mount Damavand and the Pearls of Persia

The trekking was tough as expected but the mountain guides were very experienced and inspired confidence. They were also great people. The cultural part showed up my ignorance of the great Persian empire and Persepolis was an outstanding archaeological site. The stand out memories of the trip will be the welcome we received from ordinary Iranian people who seemed genuinely pleased to see us in Iran and the group itself which was very supportive and fun to be with. Excellent holiday

Expertly planned and executed holiday.

Ultimate Tour du Mont Blanc

The entire holiday from choice to booking to experience went superbly. Our fellow trekers were excellent company and our guide Keith was invaluable. The accommodation from huts to hotels was of a good standard as was the food; despite the high calorie usage I actually gained a couple of pounds! I'd recommend KE to anyone.

AWESOME !!! TRIP OF A LIFETIME

Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

We had a great Trek along the Ancient Inca Trail. The trip was well organized and the airport connections and transfers were seamless. Although we rarely "repeat vacations" , if we did, we would certainly re-book with KE Adventures to do it all over again. Go to Machu Picchu !

The first 'Ultimate Tour' for me.......I'm ready for more!

Ultimate Tour du Mont Blanc

The day usually began with an ascent ( usually one of two or more!), except from the back door of Cabane d’Orny at 2831 when we descended through cloud! We were blessed with perfect weather and walking conditions and a tenacious, professional, good humoured guide, Rob, a mountain gem! The Refuges were excellent...a view, beer, shower, swiftly served hearty, delicious 3 course meal and a comfortable bed......all a tired, happy body could ask for. Luggage transfer was also efficient but we relis hed the last 2 nights back at Yeti Lodge and the chance to unpack completely and air the bags!! Each day a new chapter and physical challenge with the ever present simply awesome scenery. The lungs and legs gained capacity and strength and I was sad to finish on day 10! The Haute Route now beckons!!

A Wonderful Week in an Untouched Corner of France

The Ecrins Circuit - GR54

I have just returned from a wonderful week of walking in the Ecrins National Park. The trip encompassed long, varied walks, with significant ascents each day - but it was well worth some thigh burn for the spectacular views! Our guide, Myriam, was extremely competent as a leader; knowledgeable, approachable, and organised, adjusting the pace of walks as required by the group. She also had a wonderful sense of humour and very much enjoyed giving us melons to take up the mountain each day for our picnic lunches! Highlights: amazing views especially during the 3 cols day, staying overnight at a remote mountain hut (with hot showers!), Myriam's delicious lunchtime salads, excellent company of 5 other wonderful hikers, and the quietness of the routes (meaning regular marmot and chamois spotting!) Notes to other hikers: take all weather gear (we had blistering sun, pouring rain and snow showers across the week!), take a lunch pot with a well fitting lid (to avoid any beetroot disasters!), take any extra snacks (especially fruits) from the UK as you don't get to go to many/any shops during the week, embrace drinking coffee from a bowl (it is delicious despite lack of mug!), and note that the sleeping sheet liner and towel are needed most nights so don't get your towel dirty paddling in a stream on the first day! I highly recommend this trip for anyone wishing for: spectacular, high-up views; remote, quiet routes; happy shoulders (main luggage transported so day pack can be relatively light) and an overall wonderful week in a magical, somewhat untouched region of France.

Reliving memories

Best of the Tour du Mont Blanc

First completed TMB independently in 1982. This was a fun way to revisit highlights, to share the experience with some Canadian friends and to learn more about the environment around Mont Blanc. Ronan was a cool guide, always willing to share his knowledge and with time for everyone in the group. Variety of accommodation - special mention of the Buvette du Soleil in Les Champieux - and some great local cuisine. And, we were lucky with the early September weather. Recommended!

My first trip with KE and it will keep me come back to KE for more Adventures.

Lake Como and St Moritz

This was a trip of a lifetime and one made especially great due to our very knowledgeable guide Furio. He was attentive to each group member and worked well helping us whether we had questions about the region, the hiking route, vegetation or the geology; Furio was well read in all areas. The hikes that we did daily were done at an easy pace, that said the duration was a little longer than most of us in the trip expected and we all agreed that the trip might be better of with a slightly higher r ating. I loved every day and have not a single complaint. Luckily everyone in the group was fit and able to complete the hikes each day. There were a couple sections in Italy and also Switzerland where the drop offs that we walked along were a tiny bit steep so it is important that one doesn't have a fear of heights. The views were truly spectacular and I would recommend this trip to anyone who loves a physical challenge. I managed the trails just fine and I have a torn ACL. Most of the footpaths are level and not very technical. The hotel in Bellagio was lovely and close walking distance to the shops and ferry. In St. Moritz the Hostel was well above what I was expecting. The hostel is not like any Hostel I have ever stayed in and was extremely clean. The only negative about the Hostel would be that there was only wifi in the lobby but on the plus side it then brought us all together again for apres hike cocktails and much needed downtime. The buffet breakfast at both accommodations was great. Over all, anyone who wants to trek these parts, don't hesitate. I am so glad I found KE and this tour. Thank you KE for putting such a superb trip together! Chantal

A great first visit to Africa experience with excellent game viewing.

Botswana Wildside Lodge Safari

We chose this tour because it wasn't full-on camping, but did offer some camping in the Delta, which was one of the highlights, largely made special by the local people used to ferry us into the Delta by Mokoros, keeping the camp fire going, guiding the walking safaris and providing fantastic entertainment on the last night, which they clearly enjoyed as much as us. There were so many WOW moments when it came to the animals and birds. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5, but also had time to watch and observe. In particular, the free afternoon in Moreimi at the gorgeous Hyena Pans Lodge, when we just watched elephants (literally hundreds!) coming to the waterhole all afternoon. The second leopard we saw was stalking prey and again there was time to stop and watch something very special. We not only saw White Rhino, but Black as well, who saw fit to scratch itself on the side of the 'Red Elephant' - this being the name given to our very comfortable form of transport. There are some long days on the road, so the comfort of the 'Red Elephant' was welcome, along with all the gear for delicious lunches along the way. The long trip into Moreimi and back is by open-sided safari vehicle, which can be chilly in the mornings (blankets provided) and also dry and dusty - we bumped into 3 of our party all buying vaseline for our dry lips on our return to Maun. The optional flight over the Okavango was very worthwhile - lots of game to be seen and it helps understand the delta area. Your pictures of the salt pans are out-of-date, as they are now filled with water again, after very good rains, so some good bird-watching and buffalo herds around and a great place to watch the African sunset. We didn't expect food to be a highlight of the trip, but the meals prepared by the guides and the meals out in restaurants were varied and delicious, though vegetarians may struggle with the meat-oriented menus. The meals and accommodation at Hyena Pans was wonderful - the glamping much-appreciated after the camping. We weren't sure about how to tackle a safari holiday, but knew we didn't want the experience of 20 vehicles, racing to see a lion. Yes, we did share the viewing of a leopard and a male lion with a kill, but only with 3-4 other vehicles and all were respectful of the animals, so we just watched their natural behaviour. So an excellent choice for a first trip to Africa

NOT value for money

The Ecrins Circuit - GR52 - Private Sadler Group

This was the third consecutive annual trip I have made with KE. This trip was NOWHERE near the standard I expected based on the two previous trips and for the money we paid for a nine person private trip. 1/ The first and last night's accommodation you rated as a hotel. A bit of a dump I have to say offering NO evening meals. This is not an hotel. 2/ At one Gite/Hostel we had to do our own clearing and washing up after breakfast. No one in attendance. 3/ At Turin airport we were picked up b y a minibus who's driver had to use MY credit card to get out of the airport carpark and also a colleague's credit card to pay one of the tolls (we were reimbursed by our guide). The mini bus driver obviously had no idea how to get from Turin airport to Briancon a journey which took well over the two hours allocated for the trip. This journey included a number of dangerous manourvres en route. 4/ With one or two exceptions the accommodation was substandard. 5/ You had a private booking of 9 people making maximum profit but in my opinion you ripped us off. On the positive side our guide Antoine was excellent and very professional. Alan McPherson

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review. As you will know from our private correspondence with another member of your party, we have now dealt with the matter of your driver. He was a replacement for our normal driver (who was taken ill) and we are sorry that this seems to have spoiled your trip. We are sorry that you feel this trip was not value for money but pleased that you found Antoine to be excellent and very professional.
