I had the pleasure of travelling to Nepal with The Bucket List Company. From attending a training weekend in February right through to our final landing at Heathrow after our trip to base camp in October, everything was thought out and carried out in a non pressurised professional way. I would highly recommend this company to anybody.
Absolutely amazing from day one to the day we finished hiking up to Everest base camp. The bucket list is certainly up there in the top 10 Organisations and they are brilliant at what they do. I have had so many amazing memories of climbing to Everest base camp as well as climbing Kilimanjaro. I would highly recommend as without their input, I would never have had these amazing memories and experiences I’ve had.
I am so glad that we chose to climb Kilimanjaro with the Bucket List Company!
Before our trip the team were quick to respond to any queries (including very last minute kit queries!) and provide assurance.
Our trekking group was fairly large (20). This provided a great social experience but did not impact the superb level of individual support/service provided to each member.
Everything was extremely well organised from start to finish – which is very much appreciated on this sort of trip. I am thankful for this experience and will definitely book future adventures with the Bucket List Company!
Fantastic trip to Kilimanjaro with the Bucket List company. It was a thoroughly professional and well thought out travel experience, that attracts an eclectic group of
I booked this trip on a little bit of a whim back in November last year. Although I am fairly well travelled have never done a trip with a company in quite this way before, generally I book and arrange everything independently. The Bucket List Company made everything super easy and took any stress out of planning for the trip (except maybe the training – but they even run training weekends for those who may be interested).
The whole experience ran smoothly from start to finish. Yes summit night was as hard as, if not even harder, than I had ever imagined but we had a 100% success rate to the top (which was far higher than some other similarly large travel groups going up at the same time as us). This was purely down to the quality and dedication of the team of guides and porters that Keith uses on every expedition. Our head guide Whitey was one of the friendliest and happiest individuals I have ever met, he had all of our names memorised on the first meeting and kept everyone motivated, smiling and feeling very safe throughout the expedition.
Either side of the expedition we were taken to see some of the local area, a market pre hike and a local school thereafter. This was not a tourist trap, The Bucket List Company has genuine links to the local area and is making a very real difference to the school. This part for me was one of the unexpected highlights and being able to spend a while playing with the children one of the more emotional parts of the trip. Such little extras are for me what makes a company like this and the whole experience even more special. I would 100% recommend The Bucket List Company. I have made some fantastic new friends, some wonderful memories and am already looking at making my next booking! Thank you Keith and Co.
Having never traveled abroad before I chose The Bucket List
Keith and his team are clearly experts in the world of adventure and I can’t recommend them enough. Kilimanjaro was fantastic and I’m planning my next adventure already.
Just got back from an awesome time in Tanzania climbing Kilimanjaro. Can’t recommend this company enough. Keith and the team from Day 1 kept me updated with everything. This really is the all under one roof service. All I had to do was pack and turn up at the airport!! I wouldn’t use any other company for an adventure holiday now! Will be booking my next one very soon!
Keith, Whitey
I have just returned from the most epic trip to Kilimanjaro
We enjoyed the hustle of the local markets, the
From start to finish this trip was pieced together using the finest detail. All we had to remember was our kits and to get to the airport on time!
With the help of the team at The Bucket List Company, the guides, the porters and a lot of team spirit, 20/20 individ
You also can’t go all the way to Africa without the add on
This is by far the best experience I will ever have. If it wasn’t for Keith and his bucket list company, I would be sitting here saying “I wonder
Wow… what can I say? This was one of the hardest but most enjoyable trips of my life. The Bucket List Company were a pleasure to deal with from the word go, and the support Keith offered on the trip was just amazing, backed up by Whitey and his merry band of porters.
Booking with The Bucket List Company was easy – the only thing you have to think about is packing and turning up, they
I cannot thank The Bucket List Company enough, and look forward to booking my next adventure to Peru shortly.
“Signed up and hiked EBC in 2018. The trip was very well organised – staff, sherpas & porters were all excellent. I really did have the trip of a lifetime… so much so that I’ve signed up for a second trip back to Nepal through The Bucket List Company, this time to climb Mera Peak.
A big plus for me was having the option to pay off my balance in affordable monthly chunks – otherwise I couldn’t afford trips like this. I also liked having my own individual web portal/log-in where I could access all the details of my trip.”
“When you go on the adventures of a life time, you want to travel with a company that cares. I went on the Sahara desert trek in Morocco. 104 Km over 4 days is an endurance test, but we were taken well care of with food and brakes plus we had a designated emergency camel for anyone with knee or foot problems to take the load of for 20 min.
The views were as amazing as what you would imagine and the stars at night the grandest show on earth. If you dream of sitting on a sand dune watching the sun set over the Sahara after a good days trek, this is the trip for you.”
“Both my wife and I booked last September to climb Kilimanjaro. The experience was unforgettable with so many good friends made for life. We enjoyed the experience so much we have committed to another two trips with the same company in September 2019 to Mount Toubkal in North Africa and the Salkantay trip to Machu Picchu in 2020.
The trip up Kilimanjaro was absolutely fantastic, the trip was well organised and the porters were superb. I would recommend this company to anyone who would like to achieve their goals and aspirations and to tick a superb challenge off their Bucket List.”
“Great experience with great people. Easy payment method. Trip was well organised. Knowledgeable guides and beautiful surroundings.”
“I recent went on the Sahara Trek and it was one of the best times of my life. That sounds so cliche but it’s the easiest way for me to describe it.
The Bucket List Company made the whole experience stress free. I highly recommend what these guys are doing!”
“Brilliant Everest Base Camp trek with outstanding customer care from start to finish. Loved it so much I’ve just booked a Sahara trek and Kilimanjaro for next year!”
“Fantastic time with fantastic people! The trip to Morocco was amazing, from the markets of Marrakech to the summit of Mt. Toubkal. The team were knowledgeable and friendly, prepared us well, and accommodated all my dietary needs well (not the easiest when all food is carried with us up the mountain!). Would definitely use The Bucket List Company again, just as soon as I’ve saved for my next trip!”
“Well organised and very welcoming! Keith and the team were very welcoming and helped with my bucket list trip from beginning to end!”
“Kilimanjaro – the highest mountain in Africa! The whole experience from start to finish was first class. Amazing people – organising the flights, hotels and food! Would highly recommend to anyone, and I have now booked Everest Base Camp for October 2019.”
“Had a fantastic time on the Sahara trek. It was well organised and the guides were always there for advice and information. Both me and my husband have booked for Mt. Toubkal next year with fellow team members from the Sahara trek.”
“I’ve been on two trips now with the bucket List Company, first to Peru and second to Nepal, both magical experiences.
If you’re looking for an adventure holiday I can’t recommend The Bucket List Company enough, they’ll ensure you have everything you need and are prepared before you go on any of their trips, as Keith and his crew have a wealth of knowledge and experience in making sure their customers have an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.
I’m looking forward to more trips with them in the future!”
“Great adventure made even better by the team at the bucket list company. Nothing was too much and their calm heads when there were some challenges helped everybody have an amazing time. If you’re going to Base Camp, choose these guys as you are in safe and friendly hands.”
“Went to Morocco with The Bucket List Company. Not only was it an amazing trip it was lead by an amazing company. Everything was sorted for us from the flights to accommodation. Having a UK leader with us the whole time made the trip effortless.
Having someone with experience of the country and the trip certainly made it effortless. I would not hesitate recommending or using this company again myself.”
“Could not have asked for a better trip . Everest base camp with TBLC was a most memorable epic adventure.”
“A very easy company to work with – super open, knowledgeable and deep expertise.
Having just come off the Sahara trek, I was impressed with the logistics and just how much fun this was as a single traveler.
If you want to do something cool, irrespective of your own experience, then this is the team to do it with – highly adaptive to individuals with a very pragmatic approach.”
“Just got back from the Everest Base Camp trek. It was an absolutely amazing experience. Would definitely recommend The Bucket List Company. Their UK leaders and local guides made sure that everyone was safe and well looked every day of the trip. I have been on two training weekends prior to departure, which were also very well organised and took place at great locations in Wales. Everyone at TBLC are super friendly and ready to answer your questions any time before, during or after the trip. Booking in advance and being able to spread the payments meant that I could afford the trip of my dreams despite being a uni student. No hidden costs, kit list received well in advanced so again it was easy to tick everything off it over a longer period of time.
Already booked two other trips. Huge thanks to the whole team, especially Keith (company owner) and Jake (best “not a tour guide” leader) for making our trip unforgettable! Can’t wait for the next adventure with the Bucket List Company!”
“This has been the first time I’ve used this travel company. I would like to say it has been a fabulous experience , the staff are both friendly and knowledgeable. The whole trip was well planned, but their was scope to change the itinerary at the last minute to include other travel arrangements and visits. Nothing was to much trouble. I would definitely use this company again and would be more than happy to recommend it to my friends. Thanks for a great holiday.”
“Fantastic trip to Everest basecamp from start to finish. Can’t fault Keith and his team both English and Nepalese for the help and guidance they give throughout the tour. I’m already planning my next trip with the bucket list company. I would 100% recommend them not just for the trip itself but the knowledge and experience you get before, during and after.”
“Faultless Everest Base Camp trek in March 2019. When you book a trip on your bucketlist its a once in a lifetime experience and you want to have the best experience ever.
With the Bucketlist Co. you come to realise that the careful planning and thought that goes into their trips ensures you get the experience you want. The whole trip ran without hiccups and everyone from guides to fellow travellers helped make this the trip it was.
Would not hesitate to recommend this company or book another trip with them in the future.”
“Great staff, very helpful throughout the whole process, they have a very good payment method which makes any trip affordable! Even to a student like myself!
The trip was very well organised, and any question was answered with confidence there and then, showing great knowledge of the country and trek we were doing.
The staff were also very motivating, I don’t think I would’ve made it to Base Camp if it weren’t for Keith helping me… All the guides were amazing, working throughout the day, and then in their breaks making sure we were all comfortable with food and drink (included in the price).
I do not have a bad word to say about the trip, and I will be booking another one with the Bucket List team in the close future!
P.S. ‘Rate Keith’s Jake’ 9.56/10. With .44 taken away for lack of beard.”
“When you book a Bucket List experience you want the company you book with to understand that for you this is once in a lifetime event and make it that little bit different. Having travelled with three other ‘group travel’ companies I can say that TBLC understand more than most that the little things matter. The pre travel part is stand out; from a welcome gift on booking, monthly installment options or the excellent training weekends you get an early impression you will be looked after and when on trip you certainly are. I recently returned from EBC and the organisation an execution of the trip was excellent, once travelling you don’t have to think about a thing
And the care and attention from both UK and local guides cannot be faulted. A couple of days I found the going very hard but I always had someone by my side for reassurance and encouragement which I have to say probably got me to Base Camp. I would have no hesitation
in recommending TBLC to others, they’re a first class company who helped me tick a biggie off that bucket list!”
“Everest base camp 03/19. Easy booking system, monthly payment option- perfect. Always pleasant, knowledgeable, happy to help/ chat if any queries on phone, email, social media. Straight forward contact with lead guys Keith & Jake from airport and throughout trip. Made it so easy to simply turn up to all overnight stays, tours etc. Appear to have established good contacts/ company in Nepal. Everything ran smoothly throughout, no issue, would book with the bucket list company again.”
“It was an amazing adventure with amazing people. Lovely, caring leaders and guides. Today, I couldn’t imagine my life without having this great experience. Thank you all.”
“Fantastic lifetime experience. Easy and affordable payment options and you are looked after start to finish. Very knowledgeable guides, nothing was too much trouble for the porters. I would 100% recommend the BLC for your dream trip. Even when we returned home we had a package waiting, thanking us for choosing BLC, and T-shirts. Thank you Keith and Jake!”
“Absolutely fantastic from beginning till end highly recommend this company staff were perfect in every way couldn’t of made it without them I will be booking up in future again and met new friends for life.”
“One of the best things I’ve ever done! An incredible trip with an amazing group of leaders and guides as well as great people. I can’t recommend this trip enough. The Bucket List Company made this holiday stress-free, easy and enjoyable. I loved every second of it!”
“This bucket list ticks all boxes!
What can I say? I just back from the Mount Toubkal trip and it has been the experience of a lifetime.
Since I booked this trip, The Bucket List Company have kept in contact with me, asking if needed any help with anything and keeping me updated as well.
On the trip they really do look after you and you get great value for money. They make sure they hire the best local guides to help look after you and those that have the best local knowledge. What I liked about the company is that they help you on the trek and make sure that, if you are struggling a wee bit, they have guides there to encourage you on or go at your pace without rushing you.
If you are looking to tick stuff of your bucket list, they are the ones to make that dream happen. I have already booked Nepal for 2020 and will be looking for a trip in 2021.
“Keith is an expert in his field, with a vast knowledge of the world and what it has to offer… The team put together that I went with on the trip, where amazing and I could not of asked for a stronger team to push us all to the top and conquer our dreams… even I as a solo traveller felt like I fitted in as good friends would… His guides he puts together have first hand experience, which give great technical knowledge, and valid information at each evening briefing. So everyone knows what is happening, and know what to pack for each day… all in all I give this company 5 starts, and would definitely use them again for another trip…”
“Had a great trip to Nepal trekking the Annapurna Circuit in March this year with these guys. So good in fact I’ve just signed up to climb Mount Toubkal with them next year…”
“What a brilliant trip! Well organised and well paced, it allowed us to enjoy the experience of being in Morocco, whilst taking on the challenge of Mt Toubkal. We came away feeling happy and motivated, and we are planning two more trips already, having had such a great time. Thank you so much Keith, and all the team!”
“Morocco trip was truly wonderful. These guys have done their homework and have great knowledge and experience. It’s really hard to put into words how amazing this trip was. Stress-free experience from the second you meet at the airport. I’m booking my next trip with these guys this week. Life’s too short.”
“The trip was well organized and the crew running it who came out with us were brilliant. Would book another holiday with them for sure. Had an amazing time doing Everest base camp and meet some amazing people thanks to the crew loved it.”
“What a fantastic experience of a lifetime made even better by the wonderful people from The Bucket List Company. As a first time trekker and travelling on my own I was a little nervous about what to expect. I needn’t have worried. From the moment I booked the trip everything was taken care of and communication from the company was excellent.
Once on the trip our guides Keith and Dave from the UK and Mo & Mohammed our local guides were brilliant. Encouraging and supportive and ensuring that you had the best time while achieving the goal of reaching the summit of Mt Toubkal.
Brilliant… I’ll certainly be booking another trip with The Bucket List Company and would have no hesitation in recommending them.”
“I still can’t quite find the right word to describe my experience with The Bucket List Company. Had the most incredible time, met some amazing people, and experienced things I never thought I would. I’d recommend both Peru, Machu Picchu and The Bucket List Company to anyone – you honestly will not be disappointed. Thank you so much for a life changing 10 days.”
“Rocking up to the airport ready to meet the other “bucket listers” who signed up to the same adventure; I felt nervous of what was ahead and who would I be spending the next 10 days with.
My nerves were put at rest instantly. I now have 10 new awesome friends!
We were welcomed by Keith at the airport and from then on in, everything was wonderfully organised. So much so that Keith even helped us find a TV to watch the Arsenal game during the trek when were in the middle of Lares. Totally going above and beyond!
The knowledge and passion to travel really shone through and made the entire experience a true dream. The Bucket List Company are smaller than other companies in this market; however don’t let that put you off, this is a strength!
They are a super knowledgeable company, led by people who have a real passion for what they do. It was all about my bucket list of activities and ticking them off – this was their main objective. They were also happy to tweak plans to fit others needs; this level of flexibility (including the payment plans/options) is not so welcoming in larger companies.
I would encourage everyone to jump onto the adventures The Bucket List Company offer – go on do it now!
I am already signing up to my next adventure with the Bucket List Company!”
“Just got back from Gozo where my partner and I completed our PADI open water course through the Bucket List Company. After doing Everest Base Camp earlier this year, we knew it would be a well organised trip, but it exceeded our expectations. Keith, who is a divemaster himself, picked out the best dive centre on the island for us. Ritual is a new dive shop in Gozo with a brilliant group of instructors who could not have been more friendly and supportive throughout this holiday. Thanks to them and the Bucket List Company, we are now qualified divers. The highlight of the trip was the all day boat trip to Comino, where we went diving in the caves and around a ship wreck.
Already booked my third Bucket List Company trip (Kilimanjaro, 2021) but thinking of booking a few more.”
“My first Bucket List Company experience has just ended after scuba diving in Gozo. The whole process has been great and we’ve been so well looked after by Keith and his team, I can’t recommend them highly enough. I will be booking with them again!”
“Recently went to Gozo with the bucket list company for a week to learn to dive and obtain a padi open water certificate. It was affordable and the option to pay in instalments made it even more so.
The trip was well planned, so much fun and something I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Just returned from my first The Bucket List Company (“TBLC”) group holiday, diving in beautiful Gozo and I was not disappointed. I was happy with the information provide before the trip and found it to be very helpful. The whole trip was wonderfully organised and left me without a worry in the world. TBLC is great for a group of like minded (solo) travellers to travel and explore together. I’ve made some friends that I’ll be keeping in touch with.
Gozo was friendly, stunning, had great food and provided great diving locations full of aquatic life and filled with one amazing experience after another. The dives were arranged locally by Ritual Dives, with amazing instructors whose enthusiasm, knowledge and passion for Gozo and diving simply rubs off on you. They also managed to get the entire group their PADI Open Water certificates and two of us also went on to obtain our PADI Advanced Open Water certificates all in the same week. The trip ended on a high with fun dives which included a wreck dive, plus a night dive for the Advanced divers.
I am so glad to have gone on this amazing fun adventure with Keith and TBLC. Being able to pay in instalments and having flights included in the price makes TBLC even more appealing. I’m already planning my next TBLC adventure; but Gozo definitely deserves another visit. Can’t wait to return and dive again with Ritual and my new friends.”
“Just back from a weeks diving in Gozo, the whole experience was amazing, a lovely bunch of people on the trip, strangers at the start but great friends within days. The diving instructors were very professional, friendly, patient, supportive and good fun.
Every aspect of the trip appeared to run like clockwork thanks to Keith and the staff at The Bucket List Company, if there were any problems, I was not aware of them. Just need to sort my bucket list and then book with them again. Nice surprise when I got home. Thank you The Bucket List Company.”
“Fabulous trip to Gozo. Scuba diving around the island. Very well organised and managed. The Bucket List Team were extremely professional and the diving course was simply amazing.
You will meet lots of different people on the trip all doing the same thing and I have made some life long friends. I have already booked to go back on the next diving course in June 2020.
I can’t recommend it enough. Get booking.”
“I can’t fault this trip, from the ease of booking and paying in installments through to the seamless travel transfers and information throughout the week – thanks Keith!
All the team at Ritual Dive were professional and great fun throughout the PADI course, and the fun dives exploring a cave and wreck were hassle free on board and amazing down below! Our group were mixed in age and experience, however, all like-minded and adventurous with firm friendships formed and future plans made… including already booking Gozo 2020! Hi
ghly recommend this trip and I’ll be checking out more trips to tick off my bucket list too! Thanks team!”
“I loved the ability to be able to pay in instalments so that I could tick Learning to Dive off my Bucket List. The company gave us all the info we needed before we left and were quick to respond to queries.
Keith couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful whilst we were away. The staff and instructors at the diving school were very professional and still managed to be great fun. They were very supportive and made sure the whole group gained our qualifications. The location on Gozo was fabulous and, although the accommodation was a bit tired, I understand it’s going to be completely refurbished so, if you’re on the next trip, you’re in for a real treat!”
“The Bucket List Company never fails to impress! Whether trekking to Everest Base Camp or Scuba Diving in Gozo, they have the skills, knowledge and enthusiasm to make every trip unforgettable.”
“One of the best trips I’ve ever been on. Amazing location, excellent diving company, and the best bunch of people. I would highly recommend the Bucket List Company and their Gozo scuba diving trip.”
“We recently returned from a fantastic Scuba Diving trip in Gozo, This was our first time using The Bucket List company and we were really impressed with everything from booking the trip to the return flights home, it was all so easy with no stress. Everything was perfectly organised, the group – 18 of us, got on really well and the trip leader, Keith, was a great host. We’re already planning our next trip with The Bucket List Company.”
“I just got back from Peru after doing the Lares Trek to Machu Picchu (and Rainbow Mountain) and have had the greatest experience. From the chaos of landing and being woken up by an earthquake in Lima to meeting awesome kids in schools and on the trek, there was a grin stuck to my face at every turn. A camera simply does not do justice to the sights you will see during the excellently varied itinerary.
If you happen to be on the fence about booking a trip with The Bucket List Company, get off now and do it. You will not regret it, trust me. Many thanks to Keith and crew and the group I was lucky enough to be in.
Warning: the depression upon return is real!”
“I’ve just come back from doing the Lares trek in Peru. This was a trip that just kept giving and my mind is still catching up from everything I experienced.
This trip had everything and feel privileged with the experience that bucket list company arranged.I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of booking a trip, they are well organised and the experiences are once in a lifetime, pictures just dont do it justification, seeing it with your own eyes is a thousand times better.
Massive thanks to Keith and his staff for sorting it all out!”
