Reviewed July 2022 Jim Watson Massive Hailstones The Dolomites are special. Even when we were caught out by thunderstorms with massive hailstones on two days the enjoyment wasn't diminished. The choice of walks ensured that we enjoyed a variety of views of a unique area.What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? Going up Piz Boe with some of the other walkers who were nervous of the cables but thoroughly enjoyed the experience.What did you think of your group leader? Paul, who I've walked with was his usual extremely competent leader. He didn't hesitate to discuss options with us to cope with some weather difficulties. He provided some good information including telling folk tales including some singing!Do you have any advice for potential travellers? Make sure that you have really good waterproofs as the weather can change extremely quickly.

Fun was had in abundance and it was definitely the best group of people I've ever met and walked with. In fact I'm laughing to myself as I'm writing this I had that much fun!

Reviewed September 2020 Chris MillwardSuperb trip You get out of something what you put in, and that is 100% the case for this holiday. The walking was challenging but so rewarding in terms of scenery and atmosphere. The weather was excellent bar one afternoon and the leaders (Paul and Louise) and the other people on the trip made the holiday outstanding. Plus, finally, the fact that you're in Italy - what more could you ask for.What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? The scenery, stretching for miles all around near the summit of one of the mountains. We stopped as a group for a minute or two, on a rocky 'plain' before the final steepish climb to the top with the sun warmly shining in blue skies and I thought (and said out loud), 'it doesn't get any better than this'.What did you think of your group leader? Paul and Louise were outstanding - knowledgeable, helpful, great sense of humour and highly professionalDo you have any advice for potential travellers? There are two levels of walks so don't be worried about whether it will be too hard. You'll be fine.Is there anything else you would like to add? I've already asked Exodus, 'where to next please?'
Reviewed September 2019 Angela EdwardsAmazing Experience This trip was an amazing experience. The guides were excellent and the scenery was like something out of this world. The trip wouldn't be great for someone that surfers from vertigo as there are some steep drops, high mountains, mountain ledges and some mountain ridges. There are some steep ascents and also steep descents however the guides were very patient and gave even the least confident walkers the confidence to tackle the more difficult bits. The guides made this trip one i will remember for ever. Thanks to Albert and Martin. You were great.What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? Being given the confidence by the guides to tackle some difficult ledges on some steep mountains. I wouldn't have been able to tackle these with our them.What did you think of your group leader? The group leaders, Albert and Martin were brilliant. Their positivity, encouragement and sense if humour made this trip an experience i never want to forget.Do you have any advice for potential travellers? Be confident with steep drops on some very high mountains. If you suffer from vertigo or are afraid of hights you may find this trip mentally challenging however the experienced guides would give you the confidence to tackle things you may never have thought you could. We did this trip the second week of September and there was snow on the higher mountains which added an extra level of difficulty to the walks.

Reviewed August 2019 Nicol LumsdenA wonderful week in the Dolomites An excellent week's walking in the dolomites from a charming centre in Campitello. The walks were always interesting and the grade 5 walks were all comfortably doable to anyone with experience of walking in the Scottish Highlands. The use of lifts meant that we were always walking with excellent views and could spent more time at high altitude. Most of the trips were well planned to use the excellent local refugios for lunch which added a bit of luxury to the day's tramp. The hotel was very comfortable and the food was generally good.What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? It was all very pleasant. The scramble to the summit of Piz Boe was fun.What did you think of your group leader? Martin and Albert were great. Professional, good humoured and patient. Also interesting fellows to talk to, which is what I have come to expect from Exodus over the years. Made us feel instantly welcome and at home.Do you have any advice for potential travellers? Eat, drink and be merry!Is there anything else you would like to add? This trip had a wonderfully mixed group of people, Irish, Australian, American, Scots. Oh, and some English who were actually really nice!
Reviewed August 2019 Sam SegarExcellent walking trip This was one of my favourite holidays so far. The guides, Martin and Albert were knowledgable, supportive and enthusiastic. The hotel was hosted by the best staff and owners. The hikes led us into the most amazing scenery you can see in Europe. They were suitable for the level 3 and 5. It would be a good idea to put some training in for both. The days were long but therefore fulfilling. The breakfast and dinner were plentiful provided by the hotel. There was a good bar for evening socialising before an early bed for the next days activities. If you go on this trip you will not be disappointed.What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
