Surprised by Albania

I expected Albania to be quite pretty, I was not prepared for breathtakingly beautiful scenery around every turn. The scale of the relatively untouched wilderness is staggering. Ok getting to see all this wonder does take a bit of climbing which my husband loved, I loved the well maintained e-bike which made the whole trip much more enjoyable. The decent on the second day was possibly my favourite bit but the whole holiday was a joy. We received a warm welcome wherever we went, especially in the guest house and the freshly prepared food was a bonus. Well organised, mostly quiet roads, if you don’t like climbing – do it on an e-bike!

Most Inspirational Moment

The staggering scenery.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Erlis was excellent.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The second night in the mountains was long trousers and a jumper chilly at the end of April.

Suggestions

I was very happy with my decision to use an e-bike, my husband loved the climbing.

Exceded my expectations

This was my first trip with Exodus and it was so good I’m ready to book my next. It all went so smoothly and the activities and people involved were wonderful. It was also my first ever solo travel experience and having other solo travelers in the group was a plus. The rest of my group was also super friendly and welcoming.

Most Inspirational Moment

Hard to pick. I loved riding the e-bikes on our free day and enjoying the beautiful landscapes once we would reach the top in our hikes.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Give Vania a raise! Vania was excellent. She was always patient, knowledgeable and energetic. She set a positive and enthusiastic tone in our group. She went above and beyond and even loaned me some of her own warn clothes when the weather got chillier so I could participate in our last hike. After speaking with other travelers who had gone on other Exodus trips, it’s clear the guide makes a huge difference so I feel very fortunate to have had such a wonderful, fun and kind leader.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This was at times pretty challenging physically. It’s called the Prosecco hills after all! Worth the views and Prosecco but be prepared for some climbs.

Wonderful week in Jordan!

I loved Jordan. I loved all of it. Such ancient land with complex history, there were moments where it felt like time itself was staring at you. Petra is magnificent; Wadi Rum calms the mind; the river Jordan nourishes the spirit; and local people’s hospitality warms the heart.

Most Inspirational Moment

I remember the moment I fell in love with Jordan: we were wandering around in the Amman citadel and just after 4pm the call for prayer came, in that moment I knew I was in trouble. I left a part of my heart in Jordan and I've come back heartbroken.

Thoughts on Group Leader

We had an amazing leader, Abdullah, who was warm, kind, humorous, and who made everything that much more special.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't worry about anything, just enjoy it!

Simply the best time ever!

The most amazing holiday filled with wildlife, fun and culture

Most Inspirational Moment

Finding out that the anteater was my new favourite animal

Thoughts on Group Leader

Glenda had the eyes of an eagle and the knowledge of David Attenborough, she was so enthusiastice about her country, culture and wildlife

Advice for Potential Travellers

This trip contained way more than the amazing items on the itinerary. Bring a good camera and a waterproof case for it. Just enjoy!

Great views, fabulous scenery and lots of history.

A really good trip with excellent walking. Our guide Gizzer was very knowledgeable and good company.

Most Inspirational Moment

Kantor Castle and the walk that day.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Gizzer was informative, has a good sense of humour and made us feel looked after.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Remember good walking boots with ankle supports. Also the weather can be hot so be prepared for this on the longer walks.

Suggestions

Our driver Omer got us about the mountain roads safely and calmly.

Walking in Puglia and Matera (April 2024)

A very interesting range of regions, from the picturesque trulli houses of Puglia to the peace and quiet of the Masseria Morrone and finally the amazing cave dwellings of the Sassi district of Matera. The walks ranged from paths through fields dotted with ancient olive trees to shady forests and finally to wide open vistas in the Basilicata region

Most Inspirational Moment

The walk along the Murgia plateau with horned cows complete with cowbells, Spring flowers everywhere and beautiful views across to the Sassi district of Matera.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Tancredi was a very knowledgeable and helpful guide who always kept us informed of the programme for each day. The hike across the suspension bridge was not possible due to weather conditions, but Tancredi handled the change in programme very smoothly and also went out of his way to assist with suggestions for our free time, including an unscheduled visit to a beautiful rock church and a Benedictine Abbey on our last morning which was really special.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I used cash rather than credit card more than I had anticipated but this was not a major problem as ATMs were easily accessible.

Suggestions

A lovely holiday - highly recommended!

Walking in Cappadocia - great trip, poor accommodation

This was a wonderful trip and one I would highly recommend to keen walkers. The scenery in the different valleys was stunning and the guide went above and beyond to offer extra evening activities for us to take part in. Unfortunately, Dreams Cave Hotel let the trip down, as it had several issues, including no/limited hot water, limited outdoor seating, and leaks in the room when it rained.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking through Red Valley on a nice warm day with the sun accenting the various coloured rock.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The leader was great and very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to offer additional activities and adjusted the itinerary to make the most of the weather and conditions.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The description of the trip as 'moderate' is fair as the walks were not particularly challenging. However, some of the ascents and descents are quite steep, so take walking poles to provide support on these sections.

Suggestions

I'd highly recommend the trip - walking around every corner revealed another awe-inspiring view and the scenery is completely different to anything you'd get anywhere else.

Excellent trip

Enjoyed all aspects of holiday, accommodation and hotel staff, excellent and friendly guide, welcoming local people, beautiful countryside, interesting facts on Bear , Wolf and other wildlife presence.

Most Inspirational Moment

whole holiday

Thoughts on Group Leader

excellent

Advice for Potential Travellers

If travelling via Vienna with Austrian Airlines be prepared for rush between terminals. As travelling at weekend if bag in cargo hold misses flight you are not likely to get it back until Monday at earliest, so have walking gear and essentials with you in cabin.

Truly Grande Experience

A very well planned, well managed, varied, exciting, tour of a fascinating island

Most Inspirational Moment

endangered tiny jewel like snails cared for by a local man, supported by a tourism initiative

Thoughts on Group Leader

fantastic, a kind, patient, man with a enthusiastic, encyclopaedic knowledge

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you like rice, rice and beans, mixed salads, fresh fruit, lean meats and fish, cassava and bananas, and an egg for breakfast every day you will eat well. If you are looking for sugar free or caffeine free drinks bring your own. Cuba runs on proper coffee and sugar. If you are bringing medical supplies to give away, children's medicines seemed particularly appreciated.

Suggestions

The Cuban people that we met were very polite, very welcoming and very resilient considering the economic difficulties which Cuba is experiencing. I would have like this tour to be longer, there were so many places along the way that I would have like to spend a week or at least a few days in to really explore. If I could suggest one real improvement it would be to arrange the flights on a better airline and charge a little more. I was not impressed with the food (awful), the state of the toilets or the cramped conditions on the long haul flights.

Amalfi highlights

Really well organised and great insights due to knowledge of our excellent group leader

Most Inspirational Moment

Several.. first glimpse of Amalfi coastline driving down to Amalfi on first day. Ravello and walking round gardens of Villa . Trip to Capri. Walking Path of the Gods. Trip to Pompeii / Herculaneum .. all amazing!!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Veriano our group leader was brilliant. So much knowledge / fun and guided us sensitively with humour without making us feel we were on a school trip !

Advice for Potential Travellers

Check you are happy with a group approach especially at the hotel .. dining together every night .. not high quality of food or drinks

Suggestions

Felt the hotel was overcrowded due to number of tExodus tours .. did not like communal institutional type dining and felt sheer numbers compromised food/ drinks and service . Also for first time in life felt age discrimination .. I am a very fit energetic 60 + person and felt we had all been lumped into the elder group .. better to mix up more .
