Challenging and rewarding
Two of us in the office have been to the summit of Norway's highest peak - this is a challenging trip in incredibly wild mountains and you will come back with a good solid sense of achievement.
Excellent organisation for our holiday to Montenegro
Mountain Kingdoms staff was excellent for knowledge. Our guide on this trip was very competent too. What we enjoyed was the pre-planned, guided routes in out of the way places. Enjoyable to do with a group of like-minded people. Good support and backup.

Brilliant white villages
Walking the south coast made my heart sing - the rugged interior, brilliant white villages, ruins of an ancient past and turquoise sea.

Excellent guide
Absolutely brilliant. Good value for money, but real benefit is the quality of the guides locally. Antoine was a superb leader, his general knowledge was excellent.

Startling turquoise waters
The plunging descent down the Imbert stairway, some exciting tunnels and the startling turquoise waters of the Verdon were my personal highlights from walking the gorge.

More than lived up to expectations
I have fond memories of rock climbing in the Verdon Gorge when I was in my 20Õs. I remember belaying my climbing partner perched on a tiny ledge and looking down into the gorge below thinking Òmy God that looks nice down there, I must come back and walk through it one day.Ó It took 40 years to cure that small itch and I can tell you the trek more than lived up to expectationsÓ. Do it, because it really is fantastic.

Beautiful scenery
This is a great gentle cycling holiday that is open to cyclists and non cyclists alike. The pace is very easy and the focus is very much about experiencing the beautiful scenery, the wonderful relaxed pace of life and the delicious cuisine that this region has to offer.

Challenging yet rewarding
This trip is designed for the keen road cyclist who gets out regularly on their bike and wants to be able to challenge themselves, whilst at the same time cycling through some of the best scenery, and enjoying the food and drink that the French Riviera is known for.

Pleasant walks
The walks were always very pleasant with ever varying scenery, taking us through picturesque villages, meadows carpeted with wild flowers, gorges with soaring limestone cliffs, and beech and fir forests. The history of the Cathars was fascinating and we got to explore many imposing castles including Peyrepertuse castle, which was the most impressive.
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.
This was the best experience I've had travelling with Mountain Kingdoms. Our knowledgeable expert guide, the pristine wilderness and our energetic husky dogs made this an exceptional active adventure.
Well organised with a very experienced leader. Good and comfortable hotels made all the difference.

Thank you!
Enjoyed quality of trip, including the leader, the hotels, the Definitive Route and the really good daily description and small rucksack version of the itinerary. Thank you for a great trek.

Perfect acclimatisation and support
The pre-Mont Blanc climbs were more demanding and more useful than on a previous (unsuccessful) trip with another company. Liked the provision of technical kit e.g. crampons.
