Excellent itineraries and guides
Secret Trails of the Tribal Heartland

I’m glad the tour was in tribal areas with few tourists groups. In fact during the hiking sections we did not come across any other tourist hikers.

High Level Pyrenees Snowshoe Holiday

Francois really looked after us. Constantly checking we were all okay and prompting and encouraging us with aspects of technique. He was also very friendly and good fun.

Jebel Sahro Walking Holiday
Jebel Sahro Walking Holiday
Dealing with KE from beginning to end was an absolute pleasure. Very helpful and professional staff. The holiday was way up there as being one of the best. It exceeded all my expectations, was so spectacular that I almost felt as if the description on the website did not actually do it justice. Omar was terrific! An absolute gentleman, SO proud of his heritage and was so happy to speak to us at length about his Berber culture. He was very alert and attentive at all times, checking in on us and ... always highlighting where we needed to be extra careful etc. He has a terrific command of the English language, is so polite and has a great sense of humour. He was clearly very supportive of his entire team and always looked out for every ones' welfare. He always reminded us of having sufficient water, sunscreen etc. He knows his role really well. We felt as if we were in very good hands at all times.

Adventure of a lifetime!
Kilimanjaro Northern Route Traverse and Circuit
What an adventure! Our group of 10 was made up of both singles/groups and couples, and what a fantastic group it was. Our guides, cooks and porters worked tirelessly to ensure we were comfortable, safe and well fed. Special thanks to Onex (lead guide) & Saidi and Joseph (assistant guides) they ensured everything ran seamlessly from arrival through to departure. There was a slight change to the itinerary, missing out Lava tower in favour of extra acclimatisation time at School Hut, which in my ... view and that of the other trekkers was a great call from an experienced leader. As mentioned above we were well fed with some great meals of which there was always plenty. The trekking was varied with a real mix of terrain, culminating in what was a tough but rewarding push to the summit. Once again the support of the guides ensured that all 10 of us reached the summit, with some encouraging bursts of song along the way. Overall this was one of my most memorable and enjoyable treks, filled with memories that I will cherish forever.

Great holiday
Costa Rica Walks and Wildlife

Great holiday thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, which was a credit to Walter our guide. It’s busy, some early starts but you’ll also sometimes finish mid afternoon which provides time to relax and absorb the beautiful atmosphere and surroundings that you’re in. Walter is a very experienced guide. His experience enabled us to feel relaxed with the knowledge that he knew precisely what to do, what to say, and when.

The perfect snow
Finland Wilderness Snowshoe Adventure

I enjoyed the holiday very much. Our guide Petri is a quiet unassuming man who enjoys passing on his knowledge of ourdoor survival in an interesting way. He worked hard every day to organise us and see to our needs. An exemplary leader.

The highlight was the entire trip!
Heritage Trails of Rajasthan

Having been on many KE trips, this was one of the very best in all respects. Katen was exceptional in all respects. He added so much to the trip in terms of knowledge and experiences, and it was a pleasure to be in his company. One of the best tour leaders we have ever known.

Walking in Madeira
Walking in Madeira

Excellent communication; prompt, helpful responses; and a thoughtful, well-organized walking trip! Nuno was an exemplary leader and person. We felt safe, not coddled; informed, not condescended to; respected, not dismissed. If there were not a zillion other places I'd like to see, I would take this trip again and again: the island is gorgeous and full of surprises, Nuno is a passionate advocate for his native land, and my fellow travelers were charming and enjoyable.

You can always rely on KE holidays to deliver over and above their descripiton. They are always well organised with excellent guides, researched accommodation, hygiene, and great value for money. Ketan was brilliant -his knowledge was impressive and he showed real enthusiasm in getting across to us the many aspects of Rajasthan.

Excellent local guides. Well-planned, full itinerary, a little different to the standard offering. Good, varied interesting, local accomodation wherever possible.

Ketan was highly professional. Always very approachable and helpful. Gave way above what was expected of him- eg extra outings on the first (rest) day. Highly knowledgeable and able to share fascinating information about all aspects of India in an engaging way. Good fun to be with.

Outstanding walking trip for beginner/intermediate walker/hiker
Levada Trails and Peaks of Madeira
Guide Nuno Portela was outstanding. He took care of and managed a group well that ranged from someone on their first hike to highly experienced hikers and made us all feel comfortable and at home. His knowledge of the flora fauna and mountain geography was exemplary. Details of each day were provided and I never felt stressed or under pressure on the trip. Food and restaurants selected were outstanding especially last night. Hotels were fine 4/5. The mountains and Levada of Madeira provide ... outstanding scenery. I would thoroughly recommend this trip for all hikers. To get a sense of distance covered each day here are the miles for each of the 6 days: 9.76, 8.95, 11.62, 8.29, 9.45, 11.57. Note you will be going up and down some significant mountains during each walk.

Excellent weather & stunning views
Snowshoe Traverse of the Chablais

Paul was a brilliant guide, who looked after the group very well & provided lots of useful information about the wild life & the natural environment. His interaction with the group was excellent and everyone had a great time. We also had the benefit of Cheche (Cecilia), another guide who was earning the route, being part of the group, which gave us an even greater pool of knowledge to draw from.

Temples and Tea Trails of Sri Lanka
Temples and Tea Trails of Sri Lanka

Wonderful trip, everything went smoothly, blended together seamlessly. Hari is the best leader I have come across to date (with any company). Always smiling, friendly, relaxed, in control, hugely knowledgeable, enthusiastic. Went above and beyond the call for some in the group. Very approachable, accommodated different needs/requests. An asset to his employers, 5*, exceptional. It was such a lovely trip that I will be keen to return to see more of beautiful Sri Lanka if I can.

A great introduction to walking Madeira
Walking Around Madeira
This was our first trip to Madeira. We visited in January 2024. The weather started off good but then we had a significant amount of rain, on some days we had amber/orange weather warnings for rain. The walks still went ahead and we were glad we had planned well and taken all wet weather gear including waterproof gloves, socks, Gortex clothing. Although the trip is self guided the ground agent works with all nationalities and we shared transfers with a German Couple. They were not prepared for ... the weather and on some days did not do the walks. Even when it wasn’t raining the paths along the lavadas were wet and muddy. The walk on the second day has been cut short due to erosion. It’s now just a lavada walk, there and back. This was the least enjoyable walk - it’s easy to do with car hire and not the kind of walk you pay for on a trip like this. This walk needs to be changed to something more exciting.
The hotels were all great. One small and practical, one very blingy, a perfect one in Porto Moniz but the Savoy Saccharum being our least favourite as we were given the worst of rooms. It looked out into a damp courtyard - lots of mosquitos in the shade. We found it difficult to dry out our gear as there were messages to not hang anything on the balcony. I suggest up grading at this hotel to a sea view.
After the trip ended we rented a car and a house and stayed on the island to do another 5 independent walks.
I recommend the trip for first timers walking on the island as an introduction.

A perfect trip
Antarctica In Depth Expedition

This was already a perfect trip, but what made it even better is that KE included an extra night in Ushuaia for the same price that others paid when booking with different companies without the extra night.

Fabulous self guided tour of Vietnam
Highlights of Vietnam Explorer

Had a marvellous time with some wonderful experiences. From south to north, I would repeat in a heart beat !
From crazy Saigon to Hanoi, night trains, Mekong Delta, beaten HoiAn, Hue and Halong Bay, this holiday got the balance just right on culture and adventure.
