Midnight Sun and the Mountains of Lofoten
This is a lovely week in wonderful scenery, comfortable accommodation with excellent meals provided by Katya. The trip was well graded and our leader was first rate.
Great routes and great guides
The 'mechanics' and organisation was up to MK's usual high standard. The Trek itself was probably the most enjoyable weeks walking I have ever done. The scenery was stunning and the guide was excellent. My 8th trip with MK and the as a complete week the best I have been on. I would recommend this ever changing landscape to anyone.
Mountains of Lofoten
We had a great trip and it fully met our expectations. Roope modified the trip to make the most of the excellent weather that we were lucky enough to experience. The views from the peaks were stunning.
Amazing Sacred Valley trip!
It is evident how much work has been done to team up with local operators who are able to deliver the quality and blend of daily activity that combine major sites with equally important ones which are off-the-beaten-track. The hotels are good quality, without being luxurious and food generally was better than expected. Transport arrangements were all excellent, as was support from your head office team.
Fantastic Cruise
Everything about the cruise was fantastic. Each day presented a new experience with a variety of activities on offer. Both guides were very good at explaining what would be happening and their insight into the islands and wildlife made each trip a worthwhile experience.
Amazing Sacred Valley trip!
I cannot praise enough the staff who made our holiday so enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and it is an experience that neither of us will ever forget.
Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and the Galapagos
Peru is a complete delight and Moray was a particular highlight, I have never seen anything quite like it!
Nyika Plateau & Liwonde Walking Safari
It’s not difficult to see why travellers return from Malawi with warm memories. Around every turn I was greeted with welcoming smiles and spectacular scenery.
Ecuador and the Galapagos Safari
This trip combines exploring on foot in the north of Ecuador, staying in magnificent haciendas steeped in history and of course experiencing all the Galapagos Islands have to offer. Actually staying on the Galapagos Islands and being able to stroll around in the early mornings and evenings really added to the experience of being here. It was a time to chat to local people, relax and reflect on the days activities. As an alternative to a cruise I would really recommend it.
Clarée Valley Walking Holiday
This was such a wonderful trip and a very special place! The Clarée Valley has got to be one of the most beautiful areas I have been to. It is hiking and photography heaven. Antoine is a brilliant guide, very friendly and a fountain of knowledge. I would love to go back!
Ecuador and the Galapagos
What a fabulous trip! This holiday offers one of the most inspiring and varied experiences of any of Mountain Kingdoms’ many trips. One day you are wandering the colonial streets of Quito and staying in great lodges and hotels, while the next you marvel at the stunning wildlife of the Galapagos Islands, have close encounters...
Walking Ecuador & Galapagos Cruise
Everything about the cruise was fantastic. Each day presented a new experience with a variety of activities on offer. Both guides were very good at explaining what would be happening and their insight into the islands and wildlife made each trip a worthwhile experience.
The beautiful Balkans
What a wonderful trip! The scenery was spectacular. I loved hiking in remote places and staying with lovely local families. The food was fantastic as well. Semir was a great guide who taught us a lot about the region and its history. I can definitely recommend this trip and I am looking forward to returning to the Balkans soon.
Private Trip Matterhorn
Holiday was trip of a lifetime experience with the guys from Mountain Kingdom tailor making this trip to make it as competitively priced and feasible for us to achieve. Their hard work and dedication pays off every time and we are never disappointed with the level of service. They provide the right people to give you the right experience and it's all the subtle things they do behind the scenes that really makes a difference. I would never choose anyone else.
Classic Luangwa Walking Safari
This is an excellent trip. We have been on safari before but not with the same amount of walking. Being on foot, the guides could give much more information on how the ecosystem works from lion to ant lion.
A great week of walking with spectacular views
A most enjoyable week in which we clambered up some of the Lofoten's peaks and were rewarded by stunning views in fine sunny weather. The trip fully met our expectations.
Dolomites Trek
The best one week walking trip I have ever been on. Whatever you do add the Dolomites Circuit to your "bucket list". The scenery is stunning, the route well planned and the mountain Refugios all had a bar with ice cold beers to salute the end of the day.
Camino de Santiago
The Camino del Norte has many treasures to discover; the friendly local people, the wonderful local delicacies at fabulous, atmospheric hotels such as Parador de Vilalba and Pazo Santa Maria, walking through rural Northern Spain through pretty forest trails, and of course, arriving at the imposing Santiago de Compostela, to complete the pilgrimage.
Nakasendo Trail
This was a lovely holiday. Travelling everywhere by public transport, staying in a ryokan, minshukus and a temple, and walking every day were unexpected highlights. As well as the Nakasendo Trail itself, we particularly enjoyed our stay at the temple in Koya-san and walking the Yamanobe No Michi trail, as well as visiting Nara and Kyoto.
Wonderful holiday to Cambodia
This was a well organised and wonderfully varied trip. The conversations with local people about their country were part of what made it special for me as well as the many amazing sights. There were some added delights that were a complete surprise, like seeing fireflies on the river at Kampot, delicious food and delightful hotels.
