Jordan trip was brilliant- I’d wanted to go to Jordan for years… being able to pay in instalments made it possible; the itinerary was packed with interesting visits and experiences from ancient ancient desert and biblical sites; a new take on the crusades; star gazing; Petra and on it went ; walking into Petra from the desert, although painful on the knees was fantastic. Knowledgeable guide about history, geography and contemporary politics. great support from the BL guide. Fab food. Never done a group tour before and no way I coukd have got all this together solo!
Thanks 😊 – Fiona Nov 22
What Our Adventurers Have To Say About Us
We've helped a lot of people experience some great things over the years, here are what some of them said about their experience with us.
My partner had previously been on a trip to climb Mount Toukal in Morocco with the Bucketlist Company, he came back raving about it and eager to book something else. Not wanting to miss out this time, it was to our delight that we discovered they were running a new trip to Jordan. It coincided with my partner’s 60th birthday and as it was a lifelong dream of his to visit Petra, this was perfect.
As the trip approached and having never remotely done anything like this before, I felt a strange mix of excitement and trepidation. However, my fears were completely unfounded. From the moment we arrived at the airport to be met by the wonderful David, what followed was 10 days of memory making that will last a lifetime. The people, the places we visited, the knowledgeable guide, the variety of accommodation, the food and challenging yourself to take on things you might not consider you are able to do and feel totally supported by the group is just wonderful!
In short, because it really is too much to write in a review. I would highly recommend both this trip and the Bucketlist Company. Can’t wait to do another one, the only problem is choosing which one! – Sheryl Nov 22
The trip that keeps on giving…words I kept saying on this Jordanian trip. Everything was unexpectedly unique and interesting in its own right. Loved the country, the people, our group, the adventures, the learning and the hummus. Our trip leader ‘Dave the Legend’ proved once again to be just that. The in-country guide was outstandingly knowledgeable and gave us an amazing insight into his country.
A trip I highly recommend. – Gillene Nov 22
We’ve had Petra on our Bucket list for years, but we wanted to do more, we wanted to get a real feel for the country of Jordan. When the Bucketlist Company launched their Trailblazer to Jordan we jumped at the opportunity to book. The 10 day itinerary was great and this would be our 3rd trip with this Company so we knew we would be in good hands. This trip overdelivered even on our expectations. The sightseeing, historical and biblical sites just blew us away. Amazing sunrises and sunsets. Lashings of great food, a fantastic group of people, fantastic trekking, simply THE most knowledgeable in country guide in Osama and the wonderful TBLC guide Dave kept it personable and enjoyable for everyone. This was a trip that just kept giving. We enjoyed stargazing, desert storms, Red Sea snorkelling and a lovely Dead Sea Spa experience. This is all before we reflect on the wonder of trekking to Little Petra and trekking into Petra through the back door. A truly amazing adventure that is still just sinking in. Very much looking forward to travelling again with this Team very soon. – Andrea Nov 22
I did the Lares Trek to Machu Picchu and it was amazing! From the beginning, our Bucket List guide was helpful and understanding, showing us all the local sites and sharing recommendations. They were really knowledgeable, and used local companies to add to the experience: putting on guided tours and excursions where we could get really immersed in Peruvian culture. We didn’t see another soul whilst on the trek – the Andes to ourselves! It was well worth the early starts and late nights to experience everything Peru had to offer. Would 100% recommended this trip to anyone who wants the challenge and dreams of visiting Machu Picchu. You may not get the Sun Gates on arrival, but you get hot springs, good company and even more diverse views! Just book it already! – Kirsty Jun 22
A long awaited trip that was originally scheduled for August 2021, however due to covid was moved with great easy by The Bucketlist Company to a future date that suited us. This then gave us the opportunity to add on the Galapagos Islands trip. What an amazing adventure. Every aspect of this itinerary was full of adventure and excitement. A blip with a flight delay departing Cusco gave us a few ongoing flight headaches but all were sorted by the flight company. Peru was amazing and our guides Gareth and Alex were fantastic. The trek was challenging in places but very enjoyable, the scenery spectacular and the sense of achievement was awesome. The time spent in Cusco acclimatising was perfect to ensure successful trekking at high altitude. Being immersed in the people and the culture of Peru was fascinating. The food was great. We experienced Lima, Cusco, The Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu and spent time in Aguas Calientes before heading off to Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands. A trip that had elements that I had dreamed of experiencing since childhood. This almost 50 year old was not disappointed at all. Highly recommend the itinerary and the Bucketlist Team to make your travel dreams come true. – Andrea Sept 23
My recent trip to Peru with the Bucket List Company really lived up to the brand – what a bucket list adventure!
Visiting Lima, Cusco, a 4 day trek of the Inca trail and to top it all off a trip to the insta famous Rainbow Mountain. We packed so much into this 10 day experience.
Considering all the experiences we were packing in the logistics were perfect. Transfers and tours all scheduled and were brilliant.
Not only was the experience of visiting these new places amazing but also the quality of guides we had. Their local knowledge and insights really added to the experience.
Highlight for me was (maybe obviously) The Inca Trail. The scenery was spectacular and the service and knowledge of the guides and porters was second to none. Some of the best food I ate was at 3600m on top of a mountain 😅
All in all it was a trip of a lifetime that was made even better by the group of people on the trip with many friendships and memories made.
The Bucket List Company put it all together perfectly and their service was second to none. As someone who was sceptical about going on a group tour before this trip I can safely say I’m converted and will be looking to book the next one with The Bucket List Company very soon. – Eoin May 22
Fabulous trip from start to finish. The Guides, both in the UK (Jake) & Peru (Alex), were professional, well organised and very friendly-everything was well planned and executed. The Inca trail was a truly once in a lifetime experience, and i wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this trip and this company-5 stars all the way. – Fiona June 23
I fell in love with the idea of going to Easter Island nearly 50 years ago at primary school. Only now finding a tour group who does the ideal trip for what I wanted. Walking, cycling and a city trip in Chile, into the desert, climbing volcanos, and then off to the magical Easter Island. TBLC did the best trip possible, yes it’s expensive, but oh my so very much worth every penny. – Jane Jan 23
A wonderful company to entrust your adventures and bucket list desires too.
Excellent team in the office, wonderful company leaders who have years of adventure experience and in-country guides who are the best in their field.
I climbed Kilimanjaro with a group of people I met at the airport and have made friends for life.
As well as being unbelievably organised, friendly and great fun, Kris, our group leader, is an expert in adventure travel holidays and her knowledge and expertise were freely shared with us all.
Whitey and his team, the in-country guide team, were excellent and looked after us expertly every day and ensured that we all made it to top!
This is the company to use if you are looking for a holiday that is a little bit different, whether your are a solo traveller, in a couple or a group. – Ann June 23
The bucket list company do exactly that, offer bucket list trips. Just come back from climbing kilimanjaro with them, Keith was there the whole way through to guide and advise us, he used exceptional porters and guides on the mountain to make our experience just that “bucket list” can’t fault them
Overall a solid 10/10 from me – Craig Sept 2023
Kilimanjaro had been on my bucket list for a number of years but COVID really accelerated my focus to getting it done. I researched a number of companies but settled with The Bucket List Company (TBLC) due to the detailed information provided, including podcasts and videos and the provision of a UK guide on the trip (to assist with any issues that may arise) and a fantastic Tanzanian Team. My decision couldn’t have been better. Once booked I was given access to the Vamoos app which provided so much trip information, including day by day summary, flight information, packing lists, videos, reading suggestions and so much more. Excellent. Any other queries (few and far between) were answered quickly and effectively by the ever friendly and helpful office staff. The trip itself was just incredible. So well organised, everything worked like a well oiled machine. Safety is a priority of TBLC. Importantly the trip included an extra acclimatisation day. This really increased the chances of a successful summit by reducing the effects of altitude. Sats and health were checked daily and monitored closely. The fabulous Tanzanian guides, porters and cooks placed safety at the centre of everything; ensuring everyone walked slowly whilst gaining altitude and taking regular sips of water. (Very important) and eating excellent meals with plenty of carbohydrates for energy. However, they also made sure that not only was this a challenging trip but that it was also great fun, with lots of laughs, songs and dancing. Work hard, play hard. The last ascent to the summit was slow and cold. Warm socks and gloves/mittens are essential, but wow! What an achievement to reach Gilmans Point for sunrise! That really is special. I really can’t recommend TBLC highly enough. This trip was everything I’d hoped for and more, spent with such an eclectic, lovely group of like minded people. If you’re after a once in a lifetime trip that is safe, fun and leaves you with a happy glow of memories, I wouldn’t look anywhere else than The Bucket List Company. Maximum Respect. – Sharon Sept 23
I recently embarked on an extraordinary adventure with The Bucket List Company to conquer Kilimanjaro via the Marangu route, and I can’t stop raving about it! From the moment we landed in Kilimanjaro, our journey was nothing short of amazing.
The Bucket List Company made sure that every aspect of our journey was meticulously planned and executed. From the start of our expedition in Kilimanjaro, we were well taken care of. One highlight of our trip was the visit to an orphanage, which added a meaningful connection to our adventure.
The accommodations at the lodge were absolutely stunning, providing us with a comfortable and relaxing environment to rest before and after our trek. The attention to detail and the service were top-notch.
What truly sets The Bucket List Company apart is their commitment to creating unforgettable experiences. This Kilimanjaro trek was another adventure for me; having previously conquered Everest Base Camp with them, I can attest to their consistent excellence in organising and guiding these remarkable journeys. I’ve already booked several more trips with them, and I can’t wait for the next adventure. If you’re seeking a travel company that goes above and beyond to ensure your journey is exceptional, look no further than The Bucket List Company. Highly recommended! 🌍🏔️✈️ – Candice Sept 23
Wow what an experience and what a brilliant company.
I went on the Kilimanjaro trip Marangu route 5/09/23. Everything about this trip from start to finish has been brilliant. The team at the Bucket List Company always on hand via email or phone call to answer any questions.
The trip itself was flawless from start to finish, from arriving at the airport and transfers to the hotel. Briefings at each stage of the climb so as not to get too overwhelmed. The porters, the guides, the cooks all amazing.
I especially need to thank the guides and Keith for making sure I reached the summit and the altitude sure did affect me and summit was a struggle. But with the help of all the team I made it along with all 18 other members of the group.
If you’re wanting a once in a lifetime experience you should definitely use this company to care of everything for you. I might not be climbing any mountains any time soon but you bet I’ll be booking another trip with the bucket list company for sure. – Helen Sept 23
Joined ‘The Bucket List Company’ for a Kilimanjaro trek in September 2023 on the Marangu route. I came across the company by shear chance but booking with them was the best thing i could have done! Using their payment plan for booking made a trip possible that i may not otherwise have been able to experience Booking the trip as a solo traveler for the first time left me a little anxious about what to expect but from the moment i met the group and Keith at the airport that all disappeared. The whole trip was so well organised from meeting at the airport to finally reaching the summit felt smooth and the daily briefings kept us well informed. The relationship and respect that the local guides have with TBLC speaks a 1000s words through their actions and goals to help you get through even the toughest of mental places on summit night!! Memories and friends made for life!! Already booked my next trip with them and cannot wait to add to the above. – Paul Sept 23
Just back from their Kilimanjaro to Ngorongoro Crater Cycle Tour, what an amazing experience. A brilliant trip, where you really got to see all parts of Tanzania and immerse yourself in the country’s incredible culture. Keith runs a brilliant company here, and our UK guide Jake (who met us at Heathrow, and was with us until we returned to the UK) was fabulous, really knowledgeable and helpful with all aspects of the trip, a great asset to the Bucket List team. The company they use in Tanzania for actually running the trip in country (Ahsante Tours) were simply great as well, nothing was too much trouble for any of them.
Already booked to climb Kilimanjaro in 2024 with them, and also now planning which trip to do in 2025, couldn’t recommend them enough! – Ben Sept 23
