Brilliant, friendly, knowledgeable guide.
Small company giving personal service. Beautiful and varied scenery, just what we wanted.
We had a great trek and overall the holiday and arrangements were superb - I think it was the best written briefing we have ever had.
Interesting trek, seemed like an excellently judged itinerary. Good company, excellent trip leaders, trekking cook and team.
I enjoyed the opportunity to undertake such an amazing route far from the tourist areas. Also, having a hard working and very knowledgeable guide who could give me a deep insight into Berber culture, organised every aspect of the trip excellently and was very helpful.
We had a really enjoyable time in Jordan and feel that we saw and experienced all of the stuff we wanted- and more. Experiencing the canyons, desert and wilderness of Jordan was undoubtedly spectacular.
The standard of care given by your local agents was excellent. Our guide was absolutely amazing. Not only was his knowledge of all things Ethiopian amazing, but his interaction with people we met added a great deal to our understanding of local issues and generally added to our enjoyment of this trip. He looked after our interests with a passion and was very intuitive to our needs. All the staff were first-class throughout.
This was extremely well planned and executed. The route, length of time and critical use of a rest day were all improvements on competitors' similar treks. The whole experience was enjoyable, a thoroughly planned route, a very compatible group of an ideal size, a flexible approach by the local tour leader and service provider. The trek leader and local guide were both exemplary in providing information and looking after the welfare of every member of the group. I have been on many, many treks but few as well organised as this one.
We had a very pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable local leader. He listened to people's comments and was very attentive. Good knowledge about flora, fauna and history - an excellent leader. We enjoyed the combination of culture and mountain trekking - other companies did not offer this.
My first time with Mountain Kingdoms and the holiday was BRILLIANT. The trek leader Kura and support staff couldn't have been more accommodating, knowledgeable or helpful. All the people we met were just delightful. The standard of vegetarian food on the trek was superb. It was the small surprises that really made the trip special - the camp crew greeting us with singing and dancing when we got back from Ras Dashen and the coffee ceremony that was prepared for us.
