Kilimanjaro trip

I had an incredible time on my recent Kilimanjaro trip.

Choose a Challenge were really helpful with how to prepare and the support from Harry during the flight there and at the hotel was smooth.

The local guides were amazing and couldn’t do enough to support the team to the summit.

I would highly recommend a trip with Choose a Challenge

Colombia Lost City + Kilimanjaro

I have been a challenge leader at chooseachallenge for 2 years now and both trips I've done (Kilimanjaro and Colombia) have been unforgettable! Have felt very well taken care of and gotten to do things most tourists haven't been able to thanks to chooseachallenge's connections with the local communities. Another positive is that it's certified B corp etc, highly recommend especially if you're a student!

Morocco experience

The most amazing thought out experience. From the very start there was support with any questions asked. Everything is so thought through for the whole trip from flights to dietary requirements. Doing the Morocco challenge was life changing, meeting so many new people and becoming such close group, so much so all 5 of us have decided to continue our journey with choose a challenge and become leaders for next year. Couldn’t reccomend enough.

Morocco Trek

The Morocco trek was very well organised - all details about the trek were well communicated by choose a challenge and the entire trek experience went very smoothly. During the trip, we were always taken care of by a cohort of amazing guides, as well as a choose a challenge representative, which made the experience feel that much more secure and allowed for creating incredible lifelong memories.

A life changing experience and a very good networking opportunity

My daughter was in the Atlas hiking trip, organised by Choose Challenge London with some of her colleagues and friends from the university. Everything was very well organised, we have received all the information enough in advance to have time to get prepared, all instructions were clear as well. The trip went very well and she was so happy about it and it was a life changing experience. Such an experience offers you the opportunity to see the life with different eyes and be more responsible. Also, she made a lot of friends and I am very happy about that as well because they are all ambitious and determined in everything they want to do in their life.

3 peaks for charity

Challenge succeeded, was a great opportunity to complete an event (3 peaks) that I've wanted to do, in the name of a good cause and amongst some amazing people. Mike and Rhiannon were great leads, providing support and motivation throughout, and the guides were great. Overall this was well worth the effort and would do it all over again.
Big up Mike for the bus music taste.

The reps Mike and Rhiannon totally made the challenge a lot more worth it and appreciated the feet of the challenge we were all doing while having the best possible team experience. Also the music choices by MC Mike on the first days trips were undisputed.

Machu Picchu

I’ve just returned from a fabulous 2 weeks in Peru - trekking the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu and then heading to the Amazon Rainforest. Everything was organised and taken care of by in-country staff and provided to the highest quality - including being provided 3-course vegan meals while on the trek! Valencia Travel were fantastic from start to finish with our guides Frank and Luis and the rest of our team who made sure everyone was looked after throughout.
