KE Adventure Travel is a large UK based company that began with hiking expeditions and now offers self-guided walking holidays in Europe, including some island options in the Azores, Canary Islands and Mallorca. The bulk of their trips, however, are guided and they are all over the world. KE Adventure bought Mickledore in 2018 so they have a huge list of offerings.
Review of KE Adventure Travel Website
At last check, KE Adventure offered 245 walking and hiking trips (51 of which were self-guided), so finding exactly what you want can be difficult. If too many options causes you anxiety, we don’t recommend this site. It is a good choice, however, if you like having a lot of options and don’t have a destination in mind. They have some of the best search filters we’ve seen, allowing you to filter by very specific locations, activities, family trips, center-based, featured highlights and more. Itinerary details vary, depending on the tour operator supporting that trip, so some include lodging details and others do not.

Note about Large Tour Companies
While we love and support large walking holiday companies because they make searching a breeze, we will always encourage you to try and book directly with local tour operators. They are the ones operating your trip at the ground level and booking directly with them keeps more money at the local level and gives you a more customized experience. Use our search tool on the home page and filter by Special Category–Local Choice or Company Type–Local Operator to find these hidden gems.
