KE Adventure Travel Traveller Reviews

We walked up 3 4000 metre peaks over 3 weeks, the scenery was amazing and the guide could not have done more for us.

They contacted me personally to discuss the trip and were always at the end of a phone or email.

An excellent tour of Bulgaria and Romania, taking in the culture, history and stunning scenery where we enjoyed walking in the rural and remote locations, and seeing how the local people lived and worked. We experienced living with the people of these countries and sharing in their ways of life. The city tours and sightseeing were brilliant and so interesting.

Very helpful, adequate information and prior to the trip, and the trip notes prepared us for the holiday.

KE adventures organised everything, all I had to do was get to Sofia, 12 of us walked for 6 days, covering 75km, climbed 5300M, decended 5600M, climbing the 3 highest peaks in Bulgaria. Musala Rila peak 2925M Vihen Pirin mountain range 2914M Kutelo Pirin mountain range 2908M Amazing, exhillarating and challenging hike, in the company of "Kofe" our truelly excellent guide and a group of 11 other KE adventurers. I experienced some of Bulgaria at it's best, stunning unspoiled scenery, clear refreshing mountain springs, solid hearty Bulgarian food all in the great company of a diverse range of fellow travellers.

KE adventures were amazing, very helpful & organised everything. They have an amazing professional local guide who really made the experience work so well & navigated the challenges of group diversity so very well.

I am an experienced mountain walker and trekker but have always wanted to do a Via Ferrata holiday. I booked this holiday at the beginning of the year to do a hut to hut Via Ferrata trek in the Dolomites. It was a group of 8 with 1 guide. The guide was extremely unprofessional. He was an unhelpful, rude, volatile, aggressive bully. He excluded 3 people from the trek after the 1st day because he did not think they were quick enough. (They had travelled from the U.S. and Oz) Each day was like a forced march with the guide's aim to get it over with as quickly as possible and be at the next hut by lunch time. He completely ruined my holiday.

KE Adventures

170 km and around 10,000 metres of ascent/descent while walking around the Mont Blanc massif may sound like hard work, and at times it was. But every step was a joy, opening up new high alpine vistas. Glacier views most days, and interesting contrasts between the valleys in France, Switzerland, and Italy: you could definitely tell when crossing a frontier. You need a reasonable standard of fitness (and some determination) to complete the tour but its well worth it. Proof also that European mountains stand comparison with the Himalaya and the Andes.

Trekked with KE many times, across 4 continents. Always good, often great.

This is a great cycling adventure across 4 amazing countries. The variety is incredible, the scenery breathtaking and the cycling challenging: 4 countries, 2 deserts, one canyon, 1100-1200km of cycling! Epic! The leader is excellent and everything is well organised, from travelling and cycling to the food and snack stops... Also, given the length of the trip there are enough off days and I loved the 2 days safari in Moremi, flight over Okavango delta and also a great day canoeing on the Orange river... Arriving in Capetown on the last day was the highlight of an incredible holiday! If you are not a big fan of camping (like myself!) I managed half the time in rooms rather than the tent. Most campsites were excellent, at least half with Wi-Fi and good facilities for shower, hot water etc. Arriving at Capetown was an incredible sense of achievement! an incredible experience - trip of a lifetime!

I have traveled with KE before and I think they are excellent: all holidays well organised, excellent leaders with in-depth local knowledge, environmentally and culturally sensitive. Trip notes reliable, good food, reliable!

A perfect blend of challenging hiking, sight-seeing and relaxing. Bjartur, our guide was knowledgeable, skilled and pleasant company. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The mountain huts were comfortable and warm, and the food tasty and plentiful. We saw some amazing mountains, glaciers and waterfalls, relaxed in hot springs and marvelled at puffins, seals and other sea birds in their natural environments.

KE went out of their way to make everything perfect. They arranged medical clearance for my 80 yr old mother to participate in limited activities, they made special arrangement to accommodate my 2 teenage children, and also made sure of communications to ensure my son could access his GCSE results whilst in the mountains.

My husband and I travelled with our teenage sons on a very interesting, fast paced trip around some really varied and interesting national parks in Costa Rica. The terrain and wildlife was varied and ever present. Our guide was good humoured, knowledgable and adaptable. As well as the wildlife we enjoyed white water rafting, zip wiring, river swimming, surfing in the pacific ocean and even an evening yoga class in a bamboo yoga studio. We enjoyed all the marvellous wildlife and were astounded at how close we got to turtles, monkeys, caimans, iguanas, many , many spectacular birds. The distances travelled were short and our accommodation varies and interesting. A marvellous experience.

We think KE's itineraries are more imaginative then their rivals and that their holidays are really effective at giving their clients excellent engagement with the country and the best it has to offer. They often manage to include trips and experiences which are just a little different from the standard offering. We like the fact that the tour price often covers many meals. We find that this makes budgeting just a bit more straightforward and that the holidays are excellent value for money.

A superb and challenging trip taking in incredible peaks and glaciers in Italy and Swittzerland.

KE did an excellent job in terms of decribing the trip and the logistics of acommodation and transport were flawless.

Two centres in Northern Spain, with some in Picos de Europa: trekking & canyoning. Then some by the beach, with paddelboarding, horse riding, cycling. That gave us a very good 'best of both worlds'. Great food & drink - all included which is a nice extra. We had two teenagers (18,16) who can be tough critics, but they had a great time.

They did a really good job. Despite the handicap of a guide on adventure holiday who had broken her leg!
