"Excellent Istanbul/ Cappadocia holiday"
Just returned from an excellent well organised Istanbul/Cappadocia trip. Very knowledgeable guide entertained us and cater for all our needs. Fantastic sunrise balloon trip with loads of cultural, historic and scenic activities.
Great hotel in Istanbul right in the heart of the city near the grand bazaar within easy walking distance of many city attractions.

"Excellent adventure holiday experience, with a company who really do it extremely well."
The Bucket List company works well because it is personal, responsive and friendly. On our recent trip to Istanbul and Cappadocia, The group size was small, making communications and organisation simple before and during the trip. Travel arrangements were faultless. The vehicles and drivers were very good. The accommodation and food provided were very good. Keith accompanied the group, providing added reassurance and explanations when needed. The guide was well chosen for his knowledge, responsiveness, language support and friendliness - a genuinely kind and helpful person, who was well organised and led the group well. Well done and Thank You for a holiday which was as special as it was advertised to be.

"Gozo Scuba Diving"
Booked this trip looking to do my open water and advanced and it didn't disappoint. As standard with The Bucket List Company things ran smoothly. Pick up from the airport, ferry and check into hotel. The hotel was fantastic the rooms having a kitchen etc if you didn't want to eat out all the time. The diving and tuition was outstanding in all aspects. After completing my open water I seamlessly moved onto my advanced after guidance from Aaron the instructor and Keith . Couldn't fault anything throughout the trip would certainly recommend 👌

"Croatia & Montenegro Adventure"
We went on the Croatia & Montenegro Adventure just recently and least to say the trip was amazing.
The organisation of the trip was definitely well thought out, everything that needed to happen, happened in a very well thought out way.
The trip in itself I would highly recommend, the beautiful scenery that you get to see, the experiences you experience are once in a life time and overall it was just amazing!!
Also Dave who came with us from Bucket List company was amazing, he was able to meet all of our needs and any time we were unsure or wanted more time he made it possible. Not one ask was too much for him.

"What an experience of a lifetime"
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

"Kilimanjaro a Bucket List Adventure …"
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.

"Kilimanjaro Marangu Route Trek"
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.

"Wow what an experience and what a…"
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.

"Couldn't have been better"
I recently returned from my trip to climb Kilimanjaro with The Bucket List Company - and to keep it short and sweet I'd give them 10 stars if I could. From start to finish they were amazing, from booking and communication from staff, to being willed on to reach the top of the mountain by the amazing team on summit night, everything was top drawer. On the mountain we 100% had the best team of porters and guides and cooks. Keith from TBLC was with us on the trip and did everything possible to make it a once in a lifetime experience. On top of that, Keith and his team got all 18 of us to the top of the mountain on a route where the summit is by no means a guarantee - that says it all. If you're wanting to put a big tick on your bucket list then then the clue is in the name - use the Bucket List Company!

"Kilimanjaro adventure!"
My husband and I climbed Kilimanjaro in June of this year. It's quite difficult to put into words exactly how we felt about the trip, but in essence, it was outstanding, from start to finish.
The Bucket List Company were brilliant in organising the whole thing, leaving no stone unturned. The Vamoos app was fantastic however if we needed some extra info then Ellie was on hand to answer. Our Rep Kris was brilliant, organising, answering questions, informing of the day ahead and herding us up if we went astray.
We met most of our group at the Gatwick (some were flying in from elsewhere), and all I can say is what a lovely bunch of humans, all on the same wavelength and supportive of each other.
The Merangu route was beautiful, with views that were amazing. Plenty of sunshine although it got very cold on the upper slopes. The route was fairly easy to walk although when you factor in the altitude, that really made a huge difference. Summit night was difficult. Tiredness, the cold and darkness made it all seem a bit surreal. It still feels surreal now to be fair. Our guides were fantastic in keeping us motivated when things got tough. But reaching Gilmans point when the sun came up made up it all worth while. Then onto the summit... can't describe it, but what a feeling.
The porters and guides were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble for them.
The final night back at the lodge ended the trip off perfectly, a real celebration.
Thankyou Bucket List Company for organising the faultless trip and thankyou to our fellow climbers. It was an epic adventure that we will never forget.
