Amazing route far from the tourist areas
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.
Spectacular experience
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.
First-class staff
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.
All-round enjoyable experience
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.
Excellent tour leader
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.
Accommodation leader and crew
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.
Faultless
All in all, it was a great success!
Wonderful tour leader
Kuru our tour leader was efficient, caring & great fun to have around. He had excellent English.
Well thought out itinerary
It was a well thought out itinerary and as on previous holidays with Mountain Kingdoms, the in-house tour staff were very efficient. The information in the pre trip dossier was very helpful.
Knowledgeable guide
Excellent organisation and use of superbly knowledgeable tour guides.
Enjoyable
I thoroughly enjoyed the trek. The guide was fantastic.
Great all-round
All aspects good - no praise too high!
Epic experience
Walking in to the canyon is the best way to appreciate the epic scale of this natural wonder.
Fabulous holiday
We had a fabulous holiday and it was amazing to find each National Park different, with a separate special interest; was well organised.
Efficient organisation
Seamless service; literature comprehensive and delivered in timely fashion.
Excellent itinerary
Comfortable transport, good organisation by our Tour Leader, who was always willing to help. Good accommodation and excellent itinerary.
Best adventure holiday I've been on
The trip was absolutely brilliant. By far and away the best adventure holiday I've ever been on and hugely exceeded my expectations. It had it all - beautiful snow capped mountains, stunning cloud forests, historical sites (not just Machu Picchu), great trekking trails, star filled nights and excellent company (fellow trekkers and tour staff). I'm already missing it!
Outstanding service
The itinerary itself was great. Overall I found the level of service to be outstanding.
Excellent organisation
Mountain Kingdoms and your local agents in Peru did an excellent job of organising our holiday.
I loved it all
The trip was brilliant, I loved it all. The Sacred Valley was an unexpected delight, the trek was just heaven, especially the Emerald Lake and Salkantay Pass, and the trip to Puno and Lake Titicaca was another delightful contrast. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity for such a wonderful experience - thank you for making it possible in such comfort!
