A perfect way to do the TMB

Best of the Tour du Mont Blanc

4th trek with KE Adventure and another excellent trek with great partners. Always a few special surprises. Very well organised, good accommodation and meals. Not cheap but trusted. A perfect way to do the TMB, a great balance all the highlights, with comfortable accommodation and meals.

Everything I hoped for

Best of the Tour du Mont Blanc

The tour was everything I hoped for, and then some. Very well organised from initial enquiry to execution. The accommodation, food and guide made this a pleasurable experience rather than a trial - good company on the tour cannot be guaranteed, but my fellow travellers topped it of. Grading the trip is extremely difficult to do. I was concerned that I wouldn't cope, but shouldn't have worried. Itinerary was well explained. I'll be looking at other KE Adventures for more 'bucket list' memories.

Monte Rosa Trek

Tour de Monte Rosa

Really good communications, description of the walk is spot on, accommodation is great, the guides are great, and the walks are great. Lovely walk, quiet, fab paths, loved the refugio Theodule the most. Amazing amazing view of the matterhorn. Tracey was absolutely excellent. she judged us all really well and gave those that were able to walk a bit quicker the freedom to go on ahead if safe and also managed to get the slower ones to speed up when required. Knowledgable, endlessly enthusiast, ... kind, happy and selfless. Very easy to get on with. Chatty when required but also happy not to talk.

Fann Mountains

The Ultimate Fann Mountains Trek

This was both our first trek and our first trip with KE. It was everything we hoped it would be. We had great guides and a great group - a splendid time was had by all. Well planned trip, thoughtful schedule combined culture, sightseeing and trekking, fantastic guiding, and good head office support communication.

Extremely well planned

Rising Sun Japan Walking Explorer

We absolutely loved our holiday which gave us a chance to experience Japan on a more local level as we were warmly greeted by nearly all of the hosts exceptions being larger establishments. An excellent mix to allow city and countryside living. We tagged on a few days at the end to allow time to properly see Osaka. All of the establishments we stayed in provided excellent meals and service. Dining out in Japan was much cheaper than we had imagined. Once there it was up to the individual to ... spend as much or as little as they wanted. Many of the establishments were not only exceptional but also provided us with lasting memories.

Fabulous mountains

Trek the High Taurus Mountains and Cappadocia

Ibrahim was our guide - we were very lucky . He is passionate about his country and gave us loads of information on history , peoples and traditions and wildlife . 5 of us were ill and he took us to drs , made sure we ate and helped in an way he could - a superb guide
The Taurus mountains are truely awesome - sparse , arid and stunning . I feel I need not visit the Grand Canyon as I can’t believe it could be more beautiful . The mountain lakes were magical and warm enough to swim .
The ... first day walk was minimal and we arrived at camp at 2 with nothing to do - KE should arrange a longer first walk as we all had energy . The next two days were pretty walks but nothing special for experienced walkers . Cappadocia walks were fabulous - a real other world and I have never seen anything like it - well worth every moment in the heat of 34 and again Ibrahim went out of his way to help us and to give loads of history and information . His enthusiasm was infectious

Camping and hotels were good but food was totally appaling and inadequate - not suitable for 7-10 hour treks . We had to ask fur porridge and were given a bag of oats and hot milk . Three x we had eggs in the morning .
Lunch was exactly the same - bland cheese , tinned aubergines/ beans tuna - cake in a packet and a chocolate bar and juice drink and piece of fruit . No meat and monotonous as was dinner - virtually the same each night . I counted the meats the vegetable stew one night - 3 morsels - after a 10 hour trek . When we did have meat - that was it with pasta - a meat stew - apart from the day after we complained . Every night bar one - dessert was watermelon . The cook was lovely but he either had no idea or had been given a minimal budget . KE NEED TO SORT THIS -the fact that I was ill was only aggravated but the poor food and diet offered . The evening food was booked at the hotel - a set menu and very very bland and boring . The only good food was when we had lunch out in cappadoicia and the final day of the trek - Ibrahim took us to amazing restaurants and cafes
For this reason I have given this a 4 star and i I’ll suggest anyone planning to book , first check with Ke If this has been sorted
Also — FYI- KE do not help woth arranging hot air balloons but the hotel can do this easily . Ibrahim was amazing in that he helped us to see shows - The whirling Dervish , that we wanted to see

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review Kanika. We are pleased that you had a fabulous trip with a great tour leader. It is most usual for us to receive complaints about the food on any of our trips to Turkey and, as you will be aware from our private correspondence with you, action has been taken to ensure this does not happen in future.

Amazing trek through picture postcard Switzerland

Via Alpina Trekking - Meiringen to Lenk

A really good trek along the Via Alpina route through Switzerland - the views were absolutely stunning in all directions and we were constantly saying "Wow" to each other! Routes extremely well marked / signposted in addition to the app directions so very easy to follow and logistics seamless with hotels and luggage transfer. Definitely some tough days with long, steep ascents and descents, but there are shorter / easier routes available on most days also to account for potential bad weather. ... Not a cheap place to visit eg bus fares were crazy, but definitely worth it

Family Adventures in the Algarve

The range of activities was brilliant and the amount of challenge was tailored to individuals to keep us all learning new skills. The team looking after us were superb and ensured that we were all having fun. They really seemed to enjoy seeing us all enjoy ourselves. The whole holiday was a lot of fun and we were incredibly well looked after through all aspects of the holiday. It felt like being welcomed into a new family. The eco-credentials of the holiday are very sound.

A superb trip to a wonderful country

Salt Flats and Volcanoes of Bolivia

Our trip to Bolivia was full of amazing destinations and experiences. Lake Titicaca was magical, the Salt Flats unbelievable and the walks in the mountains, although high at 5000 metres were unmissable . Our group was small, very friendly and our leader Juan was a wealth of knowledge and experience. Our accomodation was varied and always good and transport between destinations comfortable and very safe. This is a tour we would not hesitate to recommend and like us you will thoroughly enjoy.

Not for Beginners

Svalbard Sea Kayak and Hike Expedition

This is a really great trip. [KE's local agent] are hugely experienced at running wilderness trips in Svalbard. It was a tough but memorable trip providing wildlife and arctic experiences like no other. However, this is not a trip for inexperienced kayakers. If you want to learn to kayak, would you choose the arctic as the place to get instruction, and would you expect to be paddling a fully-laden kayak on one of your first trips out? . 4-6 hours of daily kayaking in cold temperatures would ... be demanding for any experienced kayaker. With only one guide for 12 people, it was difficult to keep the group together and safe in difficult conditions. In fairness, even the beginner kayakers got the hang of things by the end of the trip- especially when paired with more experienced kayakers. In our case, arctic winds meant daily kayaking wasn’t possible, so we did more hiking. The hiking was fine, and we learned a lot from our guide on all of our day trips. Highlights were kayaking in the sunshine amongst the sea ice at the base of a glacier. A day hike gave us a wonderful experience with reindeer, arctic foxes and birds. It was a privilege to be in their world.
We didn’t get much fresh fruit and veg - this was understandable given the logistics of transporting and cooking the food. Packet (dehydrated) food was often the best practical option when we got back from a trip and needed to eat hot food quite quickly. It was a huge undertaking for our solo guide - and he did admirably. One of the big constraints of having only one guide was that we all had to do the same thing at the same time - so someone with an injured hand had to complete each day trip in the kayak as there was no other option. The kit list provided by KE was too general and at points contradictory. They need to be more specific about what [the local agent] provide (they have been running these trips for years). Personal kit needs to equip you for winter conditions - although it can feel warm in the sunshine (and the mosquitoes bite) , when it rains, or the winds howls in over the glacier, it feels very cold. Likewise, although you won’t be camping directly on snow, the permafrost a couple of feet beneath the tent means you’ll need a good thermal layer for protection. 24 hr daylight is a key feature of the trip, which coupled with polar bear watches means you take your sleep when you can.
We didn’t get to Barentsberg as they had to use alternative transport ships for both the outward and return journeys. This was a big disappointment.

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review Carole. We are very pleased to read that you had a truly memorable trip. KE's local agent in Svalbard describes this as a 'beginners' trip. However, we have taken on board your feedback and have now made it a requirement for future participants to have a familiarity with the techniques of kayaking. We have also reviewed the equipment list in light of your feedback for which, many thanks.

The Portuguese Way

Walking Camino - The Portuguese Way - 2 Weeks

The walking holidays provided are well graded on their degree of difficulty. The arrangements are clear and straightforward. Finally the KE staff are friendly and helpful. The accommodation was consistently very good throughout the holiday. All four of us enjoyed the walk, in a part of Portugal and Spain, which we hadn't previously visited.
