An outstanding mountain experience with a professional guide
We walked in three different countries: Kosovo, Montenegro and Albania. There were ascents of over a 1000m and descents of up to 1400m. The views were outstanding, the itinerary was fantastic; it was a great balance between walking and visiting the sites plus appreciating the culture. The guest house in Albania was exceptional for location and service - this should not be missed. Our guide, Semir, was exceptional. He was professional and fun...

The guest house in Albania was exceptional for location and service - this should not be missed. Our guide, Semir, was exceptional. He was professional and fun. You could trust him implicitly to look after the group and put our needs and comfort before his own. He knows the mountains intimately and has a huge respect and knowledge for the environment. It was a pleasure to spend a week with him.
KE Adventure are a professional company that deserve to do well. They have chosen excellent holiday destinations giving comfort and security whilst still being able to see the more rural locations. They have given superb personal service which is what I look for nowadays. I love supporting the smaller independent travel companies as they care more about their customer; KE Adventure certainly live up to this reputation. I would not hesitate to recommend them as a very trustworthy and well-organised tour operator. They will certainly have my business in the future.

Diverse trekking, stunning scenery, a great introduction to the Balkans
This was my first walking trip and I found I managed all the treks and enjoyed them immensely. This trip gives you insight into the culture, terrain and history of the Balkans and is a great way to get to know more about this region. We trekked over a huge range of terrain, from forests to steep rocky ascents, meadows, snow, rocks, scree, mountain ridges, rivers, valleys... It offers a great experience of a huge range of hiking. I was lucky ...
This was my first walking trip and I found I managed all the treks and enjoyed them immensely. This trip gives you insight into the culture, terrain and history of the Balkans and is a great way to get to know more about this region. We trekked over a huge range of terrain, from forests to steep rocky ascents, meadows, snow, rocks, scree, mountain ridges, rivers, valleys... It offers a great experience of a huge range of hiking. I was lucky to have a lovely group of people and a wonderful guide, Milan Rakoc, and this really made the experience.
Everything was well organised and thought of, accommodation, transfers and restaurants were well chosen and smooth running. They were helpful during the booking process and I had a good experience with KE.
