Silk Road to Samarkand, Uzbekistan (with Fergana Valley extension)
Taking a small group holiday which was well planned and excellently organised must be the best way to experience this part of the Silk Road. From train journeys to small vehicle travel and a local internal plane made the sightseeing varied and gave the opportunity to meet so many friendly local people. Architecture and history came to life with a very excellent local guide. It was fun too and even a 'cooking lesson' in a local home was provided at our request! The whole visit expanded our knowledge of the Uzbeki country, its local communities, its religion and heritage. I highly recommend it!
Cultural Tour of Sri Lanka
Visiting the north of the island while it still has few tourists was a privilege and greatly interesting and enjoyable. It was an authentic experience and to be encouraged for anyone who is not afraid to go off the beaten track a bit.
Up Close and Personal With The Power of Nature
There are no other places in Europe where you can experience the real power and majesty of live volcanoes like Stromboli and Etna. Hiking both of them is a tremendous feeling. When you add in great scenery, great food and a great guide, you have an unbeatable mix. There are not so many holidays where you come away feeling privileged ( as well as happy) to have had the experience but this is one of those.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Three Peaks of the Balkans
Well organised, wonderful scenery, remote places and a superb guide - Sameer was just the best and it was clear that whoever he met along the way really liked and respected him.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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!
