Kudu Travel: Walking in Greece in the Steps of Paddy Leigh Fermor
This was an imaginatively designed walking trip taking in mountainous and the Peleponese regions of mainland Greece in a party of 12 or so. We knew some but not all of the others whom we found v congenial. The lead guide was outstanding, reliable and delightful. The hotels and meals were excellent. The variety of experiences good. The only problem was 3/4 days of rain - some v heavy.

This is our only experience so far of Kudu who seemed reliable and imaginative. The main plus was the excellent guide.





Understanding the impact of the Traders, Invaders and Persuaders
Gaining insight into an "unknown" part of the world and events that have taken place there, some of which have impacted on Western Europe. Seeing and experiencing those places with magical names heard in childhood.

Thoroughly committed to ensuring that every individual member of a small group feels their needs and expectations are met. Each trip is carefully researched and balanced and attracts other tour members who provide excellent company. All the pre-trip help and information is readily available.





Walks and Music in Austria and Hungary, with Opera in Vienna
A wonderful combination of walking, concert going, museums and sight seeing. This holiday was partly in a popular city and partly off the more beaten tracks. We also enjoyed local cuisine and drinks. It was most enjoyable to visit the small town of Rust on the Neusiedler See and see the storks and to travel by ferry into Hungary and interesting to see rural Hungary. The stay at Schloss Kapfenstein was magical.

A specialist company, which provides a range of holidays. Most holidays have a degree of walking, but not necessarily strenuous. The trips often combine a range of interests, history, architecture, music, flora and wildlife, local culture and cuisine.





A very well thought-out itinerary and an excellently-led trip.
Kudu devised a very well-balanced itinerary with a good mix of culture, walking and local lifestyle (wine tasting, cheese tasting, olive grower visit, flamenco performance etc). Our hotels were delightfully characterful and Kudu arranged excellent restaurant visits enabling us to sample a wide range of dishes and wines. The holiday was not cheap but, with all the attention to detail by the organisers, was good value for money.

Too much time spent motoring on a non sailing yacht
This holiday was advertised as "sailing and walking the Dalmatian coast". In reality the yacht was a motor boat dressed as a sailing boat. We spent a lot of time motoring in order to cover the distances between idestinations leaving very little time for swimming, snorkeling or walking and site seeing on shore.

We previously used kudu to travel to Granada and Córdoba and found the trip we'll run and informative. By comparison this trip was shambolic.

A great company that puts the client first





Places and experiences that I could never have managed as an independent traveller
Wonderful meals, lovely local hotels, excellent leaders and experiences that I would never have managed alone - the stand-out and unforgettable memories are of walking in the Bieszczady hills (and a wonderful hotel in Wetlina) and a visit to the old synagogue in Lancut.

Superbly organised from start to finish - from the booking experience to the journey home.The sort of interesting independent hotels that I would have chosen myself as an independent traveller and wonderful food and drink showcasing the local cuisine. A small group and experienced knowledgeable leaders. Everything was smoothly and flawlessly organised, while still letting us feel that we could move independently if we wished.





Poland Culture and Walking
Mixture of cultural activities and mountain walking

Small operator, always show concern for clients, attention to detail.





Amazing Azores
We spent 8 days spent exploring 3 of the Azores islands and we could have spent another 8 days. These are hidden gems, packed full of wildlife, history, geographical features and island charm.

Kudu Travel go that extra mile and find unusual places to stay and lots of varied activities to do each day. The new hotel in Pico was outstanding in every way. Kudu thoroughly research every detail and make sure everything is of the highest quality. They find amazing restaurants and with all meals and drinks included you can spend all the time enjoying the holiday to the full.





An outstanding week of mountain wildflower walks and chamber music concerts
We stayed in an excellent Swiss hotel near Gstaad. Each morning, after a superb full breakfast, we used the wonderful railways and mountain gondolas to enjoy alpine wildflower-bedecked walks and picnics. In the early evenings door to door transport was provided to and from four excellent concerts after which we could enjoy the hotel's outstanding selection of cheeses and desert.
