Excellent well planned visit including towns cities music and countryside and coast. Not too much driving which is a bonus. Glorious scenery and interesting places visited. Good choice of venues for dinner and accommodation.
Douro Valley with the port tasting and boat trip. Superb lunch at the vineyard. Also loved the Monestery at Batalha.
Excellent her enthusiasm for her homeland was infectious. Great deal of information given at each venue and questions always answered to clarify our understanding. Always smiling and a delight to travel with!!
Sturdy footwear to cope with all the cobbles which can be slippery
If you think you’ve only got one big trek in you, this is the one to do!
The satisfaction of completing the ascent of Dead Woman's Pass. The night sky and sunrise at every campsite. The meals provided during the whole trek were incredible. How the team could bake a cake at the top of a mountain I still don't know! Excellent food, hearty portions, and catered to very diverse food preferences and allergies. The porters were really made to feel like part of the family and it was lovely to hear their stories, as well as the stories of our local guides.
William was exceptional. His experience, love of the mountains, professionalism and care for both clients and porters was outstanding. He was mentoring assistant guide Luis, who is well on the way to becoming an excellent lead guide. They both had to deal with two medical events on the trek; this was done efficiently, safely and with no impact on the rest of the group. Their local knowledge was so extensive, ranging from local flora and fauna, to culture and history. In particular, William's recollections about his grandmother being a local healer, the love for his mother, and his beliefs in the traditions of the circle of life was both emotional and thought provoking.
Exodus's itinerary is what sets it apart from the other companies. The choice to leave camp 3 later on day 4 of the trek (rather than around 3am like the other companies) so that you can rest in Machu Picchu town before touring Machu Picchu site is what sets this itinerary apart. We couldn't imagine having to do the trek, tour the site, and travel back to Cusco on the same day. Luggage note - This is not an Exodus issue. We flew with Iberia and were told emphatically at Heathrow by their staff that luggage would go all the way through to Cusco (final destination). However, on arrival at Lima (and after leaving the baggage hall) we found out that this information was incorrect. It was a little stressful to retrieve our luggage before the next flight. Our advice would be to check the carousel before leaving the baggage hall to save the stress.
A well-organized trip with an amazing guide and driver. The sights and sounds of Morocco will not disappoint. The various landscapes, depending on where you are in Morocco, are breathtaking. This trip will not disappoint.
There are so many incredible moments from this trip, but a highlight for me was the Sahara Desert and the camel ride.
Our leader was Ait Lmouden Mohamed. He was very knowledgeable, kind, caring, and patient. And he had a wonderful sense of humour.
Some of the accommodations are sparse, but they are clean.
Thank you Dinis, Ines and Philipe our guides and support for a great holiday. My friends and I decided to do this trip on e-bikes as we were a bit out of cycling practice to say the least. We found the e-bikes comfortable and they made getting up hills and covering ground really easy so we could concentrate on the fabulous landscapes we passed through. Half the week the weather was lovely.We encountered a May Day parade in one village and were invited us to join them but we had to press on to get to our next stop. We had too many impossible to resist pastries and Dinis guided us to some great restaurants. For those who love fish and seafood this trip is heaven. Good selection of hotels and great company, we were 16 with people from US, Canada and tbe UK. I’m trying to think of a highlight. Maybe the fish restaurant on the cliffs on the fourth night, but really so many fabulous views and interesting places and so diverse it’s hard to list them all. A few days of bad weather and the country wide power cut were quickly forgotten. All in all an unforgettable trip.
Seeing storks nesting and the breathtaking waves on the Atlantic coast or was it watching my friend enjoy an extra large pastel de nata?
Dinis
Ok- it did rain and sometimes very hard and for several hours. We improvised with plastic bags in our shoes and under our bike helmets. So take a few.
For much of my life I’ve enjoyed the musical genres originating in the Southern US. What this trip did was to put it all together – the evolution of music set against the political and economic history of the area. Fascinating and enjoyable.
Hard to pick one. Preservation Hall and Grand Ole Opry were musical highlights. The Civil Rights Museum was so moving - located at the motel where MLK was assassinated - and very comprehensive. The Country Music Hall of Fame was worth at least half a day.
Jay quite simply, made the trip. The bus journeys were enlivened with his knowledge and fabulous playlist designed to accompany the history and progression of musical styles as we journeyed north. He joined in the group banter in the bus, drove safely, worked hard, unloading and loading luggage, and was very helpful at ferrying us around even to optional activities.
Book ahead for Preservation Hall and the Grand Ole Opry. Some of our group were disappointed not to get in or be seated r standing at the very back. The food was not to my taste - deep fried pecan pie anyone? And vegetables were hard to find with limited choice. I bought supplies at a health food store for my lunches (there was an ice box in the bus) Some prices were a shock . My last night dinner (1 course with veg and 2 glasses average wine) was $62 - then with sales tax, 20% obligatory gratuity and an extra tip for kitchen staff, the final bill was $93. The trip notes suggestions for tips for the guide are way out, considering that he drove, hauled luggage, saved us some taxi fares. $12-$15 pp per day is a more like it. Given the shocking amount of plastic waste (polystyrene plates and plastic cutlery) you might want to consider taking some travel cutlery with you.
I would definitely recommend this cycling adventure.
The extraordinary coastline and breathtaking views around every corner of the beautiful Atlantic ride are priceless!
All the leaders were professional,thoughtful and caring .
Do this ride!
This country is so diverse and exodus shows you that from the start! We started on the Caribbean side at Tortuguero and basically got soaked the whole 3 days we were there, it rained and it rained but our group got on with it with a smile. That area would have been wonderful if the weather hadn’t been against us but it was what it was!
We still suffered a bit of bad weather at Arenal and i never got to see the volcano as the cloud was on top of it all the time, the walk was lovely up to it though and the landscape is beautiful.
The weather started to improve as we travelled over to the pacific side , the birds and the wildlife are abundant , we saw that many sloths on this trip we stopped taking pictures of them ha
There are some long drives in this trip but never more than a couple of hours on the road without stopping, lots of views to look at and of course we stopped if the driver or guide saw anything interesting to see as well, (a couple of macaw’s were spotted and we pulled over to get some great photos)
The wildlife is all around you if you take the time to look, the leaf cutter ants and the ant highways through the forest floor , the frogs , the sloths… so much to see!
Whilst you don’t have to be a fitness fanatic for this trip , i would suggest that you are able to walk long distances and tackle some steep slopes. You can always sit by the pool if you don’t want to go on the hikes but you would miss out on the whole point of the holiday if that is what you aim to do.
Exodus pull it out the bag every time with the accommodation , all the rooms were lovely and well chosen , its one of the reasons i have booked with Exodus 4 times now.
I loved the boat trip, the birds were fantastic to spot and we saw turtles and crocodiles as well. Also the Esquinas Rainforest Lodge was the most basic room of the trip but the best location , you are surrounded by forest , the birds and the wildlife are wonderful and a dip in the pool in the middle of it all was so special.
Pedro was very knowledgeable and passionate about his country and what they are doing towards tourism and re-forestation.
Take good walking shoes , something that will dry out because you are likely to get them wet, and a fold up rain jacket that goes in your bag. Plugs were American type plugs. I got an e sim and it was a great idea, i had internet all the time and signed into wifi at the lodges ( which were all wifi friendly) I took colonies but everyone accepted dollars , in fact it seemed to be the best form of money, your cards are accepted at all the restaurants its only for tips and small venders that you need cash. Even though it rained i still wore shorts as it was better to have wet legs than wet trousers ha ha and its still hot!
The Dolomites are a beautiful region and this trip is a fun way to explore it by skii. The itinerary struck a perfect balance between physical activity and relaxation. Each day offered scenic ski routes through pristine, snow-covered landscapes—peaceful forests, frozen lakes, and charming alpine villages. Our guide Michele was not only highly skilled and knowledgeable about the terrain but also enthusiastic and encouraging, making the experience enjoyable for skiers of all levels. Whether you were a first-timer or an experienced skier, you felt supported and challenged in all the right ways.
The hotel was cozy and we ate delicious meals—exactly what you want after a day on the trails.
Getting to ski in the same arena as the Olympians at the Nordic Arena in Dobbiaco! There were even some teams training there whilst we were there it was very cool!
Michele was amazing, his knowledge of the area was great and he was very good at planning our days and decided what valley or track was best to go depending on the weather.
it is so worth trying if you want to learn a new activity and you don't need previous experience just a good level of fitness! you do a lot of different tracks so will get to try different things throughout the week. bring layers as it can get warm and waterproof shoes for your day off so you can go for some nice walks to the other towns!
I got back from this trip 5 days ago. Everything was great! I don’t know where to start with my rave reviews. Our group leader was Ilham and he was amazing! His English was great and he helped us with translation at the restaurants and vendors. I loved stopping to eat at very local and family places. One place for Turkish pizzas had the whole family pitching in and we were outside near the brick oven with chickens and ducks running past us! I really appreciated that our money went to LOCAL and FAMILY run businesses! Ilham would download the tickets to the sites on his phone in advance, he made our entry so quick. He was always one step ahead of the game! Logistics were flawless, because he knew when to get to the various sites to avoid the crowds as much as possible. I enjoyed the modest hotels, once again family run and usually very convenient to the town center. This trip fulfilled all my expectations and then some! Ed
Sitting in a mosque in Istanbul when it was nearly empty. The call to prayer was soothing and reassuring.
Ilhan
Outstanding Tour — visiting important military, historical, cultural, and religious sites. Wonderful group of travelers who watched out for each other, were on time, courteous and kind.
Swimming in the Mediterranean Sea
Ilhan was a great group leader. Smart, engaging and patient, he kept us safe, on time, and informed.
This trip is classified as "easy" but you'll definitely get your 10K daily steps in and many of those will be up and down stairs. Perfect for the traveler interested in Greco/Roman/Ottoman architecture, artifacts, history and ruins.
