Amazing pagodas
The Bagan, Mandalay, Inle Lake itinerary couldn't fail to impress with the history, culture, scenery & amazing pagodas. Our guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic & seemed to know everyone in Burma, so he would stop & chat & introduce us to all sorts of people along the way. He gave us an insight into the everyday life of the villagers that most tourists don't get the chance to experience.
Unique insight into Myanmar
What we enjoyed was the walking as well as sightseeing. An excellent and charismatic local guide who gave us a unique insight into the life of Myanmar's people.
Good choice of activities
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.
Perfect country for cycling
I have been lucky enough to ride my bike in many different countries around the world and I truly struggle to think of a country more suited to exploring by bike than Burma. The rolling landscape and the traffic free back roads and farming tracks all help to make this an amazing way to see this incredible country.
Gentle Walking Ladakh & Kashmir in Style
Mountain Kingdoms never fails to deliver! We are already thinking about where our next Mountain Kingdoms destination will be and would like thank you for making our holiday such a fantastic experience.
Well-organised
The whole trip is so well organised from start to end. I have full confidence using Mountain Kingdoms for any trips. They are very helpful and go out of their way to answer any queries or concerns. I have never encountered any difficulties.
Enjoyable trip to Ethiopia
Everything is so well organised. I felt cared for and safe. The itinerary was interesting and varied; the accommodation good. Your staff are all god. You bend over backwards to make a trip enjoyable.
Great variety
This trip offered a wide variety of sites and experiences. You ended each day feeling that no time had been wasted. We visited a local school, this was an excellent experience and gave us a chance to give something back to the delightful people of Ethiopia - an excellent 'add-on' to a delightful trip. Everything is very well organised.
Fabulous adventure in Finland
Fabulous adventure. Excellent trip itinerary away from the main tourist routes. Guide Pirjo was outstanding, her cooking for 3 full meals a day was second to none, she was patient and always upbeat.
Excellent trip leader
Pirjo, the leader, was excellent, so well organised and efficient. Her cooking was amazing.
Faultless
The cruise with couldn't be faulted. Great staff, organisation and food.
Torres del Paine - lots of wildlife
Liked-minded group. Our guide was helpful and cheerful. We liked the way we had our own porter for our kit and tent. We saw more animals/birds/plants than we ever thought we would. We appreciated that there were no extra costs.
Chin Hills and Kalaw trek
Really good holiday, packed a lot into the time. Both treks were lovely and Nyi Nyi is an excellent guide.
Stunning countryside
All of it was perfect. So well organised. A great balance between basic living in the homestays and the luxury of a hot shower and toilet with a seat in hotels and lodges. The boat rides across Inle lake came as an unexpected surprise. The trekking went through stunning and varied countryside. Nyi Nyi the guide was awesome. Outstanding subject knowledge, sense of humour, very very kind and caring, astute to the individual needs of the people in the group. Hugely professional and conscientious. A true Buddhist. Thank you very much for providing a trip to the remote world in Chin.
Did not disappoint
Peru is a country that does not disappoint, from the vibrant city of Cuzco to the Inca ruins that surround it, there is something for everyone. Machu Picchu was a definite highlight, with its majestic nature, historical past and brilliant views.
You get to see real Burma
What I enjoyed was the opportunity to walk in rural areas and see "real life", the fact that you use local guides and services, and that meals are included which reduces the stress of finding somewhere to eat.
Well organised
Very good standard of hotels and food. I enjoyed the quality of flexibility and organisation. Experiences provided very well organised. All staff were very helpful.
Brahmaptura and Bhutan
The holiday was lovely, thank you for your organisation. The tour leader and driver in Bhutan were lovely people, couldn't have had better. Boat staff and management on Brahmaputra were all exceptionally lovely, thank you to all.
Nepal and Bhutan - amazing scenery
What we enjoyed was the amazing scenery combined with the happy friendly people of Nepal and Bhutan. Our guides were excellent, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and punctual.
Attentive crew
The standard of food and hotels was very good throughout. The size of the group was just right. The guide, driver, and assistant were always helpful and attentive. All round good experience.
