Mongolian Wilderness Trek
Transport worked well, leader was knowledgeable and food was good. Route was good with a feeling of remoteness.
Excellent guide in Mongolia
What we liked was that you use local people with their specialised knowledge and love of their country so we experience a more in-depth view of a place and its people. It was such a relaxing holiday because from the very beginning we had complete confidence in both our driver and tour guide. It was refreshing that they both ate and shared meals with us and we were able to treat and call each other friends. It was an excellent trip!!
Silk Road to Samarkand
Well-planned trip and well-organised. Helpful local staff.
Japan is a fascinating country
Japan is a fascinating country, and it was particularly nice to be able to explore on foot, walking through beautiful unspoiled rural areas. I very much enjoyed immersing myself in Japanese culture, sleeping on futons and bathing in outdoor hot spring baths. Experiencing train travel was another bonus, especially negotiating the Tokyo underground at rush hour, thankfully led by our wonderful Japanese guide.

Hospitable staff at the Tea Trails Bungalows
I loved the Tea Trails Bungalows. These genuine colonial bungalows offer something completely different to staying in a hotel. I was very well looked after by what felt like my own staff, and nothing was too much trouble. I could happily have stayed here the rest of my life.
Definitive Cultural Tour of Tibet
A really well thought out itinerary - good choice of monasteries and a stunning drive back to Lhasa on the final day.
Excellent, knowledgeable guide
Office staff organised when we liaised with them. Kevin O'Neale was an excellent guide and the package was amazing in terms of the mountains we summited and mountain huts we stayed in. Kevin's agenda and efficiency for the week was superb and although we not did summit Mont Blanc due to the weather we did achieve three 4,000m+ summits. A truly memorable and awesome week - our thanks to Kev and to Mountain Kingdoms for employing his services.
Brilliant adventure
The trip was excellent, everyone was nice and we swapped stories of our life adventures. For the next week we climbed 3 mountains - it was BRILLIANT. I am so glad I did this and will be doing it again. Thanks to Kevin O'Neale and Mountain Kingdoms.
Enjoyable trek in Mongolia
This was an amazing trek and we thoroughly enjoyed it, particularly the opportunity to meet nomads in the remote areas and partake in their hospitality. The guide in Ulaanbaatar was excellent.
Amazing holiday in Mongolia
It was an amazing holiday and we enjoyed every minute of it. It was made even more special as our guide and driver were such lovely people. Having travelled with your company many times we know we can rely on you to give us the best possible experience on our holidays.
Markha Valley Trek
Personal service when we emailed or phoned. Efficient pick-ups etc. during the trip. No compromises on quality.
Excellent service
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.
Lofoten Islands - pleasant holiday
An extremely good trip with pleasant company and great weather. Accommodation and food was of a high standard. Amazing scenery, great holiday! Thank you.
Lofoten Islands - great scenery
All the meals and snacks after the walks were of very good quality, quantity and variety. The scenery and the walks were first-class. All went without a hitch. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The group got along well.
Excellent guide
The trip was extremely well organised by Alessandro whose extensive range of local contacts made all the difference. He was a very knowledgeable and comparable guide and we cant' speak too highly of him.
Our guide was excellent
We cannot praise Veronica enough for her professionalism and attention to detail regarding her clients' comfort and needs, she also made us amazing lunches.
Beautiful walks
We met very interesting people and all got on well together. The walking, although difficult, was beautiful. Our guide Veronica was excellent and made our trip.
Excellent guide
Absolutely brilliant. Good value for money, but real benefit is the quality of the guides locally. Antoine was a superb leader, his general knowledge was excellent.
Brilliant guide for Verdon Gorge
Antoine was excellent - brilliant guide, knowledgeable/assessed the needs of the group. One of the best guides ever.
