I had a brilliant experience walking and wine tasting in Tuscany, led by our fantastic guide, Jordan. This trip has a good balance of picturesque walks, wine tasting and city days and offers a great introduction to one of Italy’s most beautiful and historic regions. Our itinerary ran seamlessly and there was never a moment where I felt it was too full-on, as we were given plenty of free time between activities. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat!
Visiting Florence - a city steeped in history and culture!
Fantastic - Jordan went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our holiday.
Plan ahead for the free day. There are activities you can book through the hotel but availability can be limited.
Costa Rica Adventure truly lived up to my bucket list expectations, from zip-lining in the cloud forest to staying in an eco lodge in the middle of the rainforest, we were immersed in a paradise of wildlife.
My personal highlight was a sunset cruise along the coast of Carillo with a pod of dolphins swimming in the bow of the boat. We were also lucky enough to see multiple families of sloth at our farm to table culinary tour at an organic farm.
We were so lucky to have the lovely Glenda as our tour leader. I learned so much from her about Costa Rica's unique biodiversity. Glenda's knowledge of Costa Rica and her ability to spot wildlife was incredible, her enthusiasm about her country was fantastic and she was great fun, making us laugh everyday. She made sure the tour was extremely well organised and everyone had a great time!
A good camera is worth bringing as the wildlife spotting opportunities are endless! would recommend bringing plenty of insect/mosquito repellent, quick dry clothing and a higher SPF sunscreen than you'd usually use.
Well organised and planned trip. Group size was only 7 but the smaller group was better. Scenery and sights were fantastic. Our guide had very good knowledge and took us to great restaurants.
Alvaro Jimenez, was brilliant. He was extremely knowledgeable, passionate about travelling, good fun and looked after us so well.
Switch off from everything & enjoy every moment. Listen to the advice your guide gives you on what to wear to work with the weather conditions. Always good to have a second pair of shoes or boots. Blister prevention is key.
A most charming part of Italy, well worth exploring by bike. Passing through picturesque villages and ancient towns laden with history, every place has something unique to offer. Architecturally impressive churches, cathedrals and basilicas dominate the landscape. The cuisine is delicious and there is plenty of culinary variety to satisfy any preference. The accommodation was good and very good throughout the trip.
Most inspiring places were Matera, Alberobello and Lecce.
Our tour leader Claudio was attentive, organised and looked after the group well. At the end of each day, he offered suggestions for places to have dinner at and a summary of the following day.
Having been on several 'medium' rated cycling holidays with Exodus, i would say this trip is on the lower end of 'medium'.
I unfortunately had to join this trip last minute due to my previous trip being cancelled with a different operator. It was the best available alternative but meant I missed out of Mount Fuji which I really wanted to see. I ended up leaving the group at Kyoto to include a trip to Fuji san and caught up with them in Osaka.
Nikko was beautiful .
Hitomi was amazing. She couldn’t have been more helpful.
Don’t be scared to do your own thing. Japan was much easier to navigate than I thought and Hitomi was so helpful in answering any questions I had.
8 bikers and our wonderful guide Sara enjoyed a beautiful week visiting the Cilento National Park and Amalfi Coast.
All our riders completed the five days of biking covering more than 240 km of undulating terrain and with vertical climbs totaling over 4000 meters. None of us needed to use the support van at any time during the rides.
Sara was a very knowledgeable and experienced guide who provided us with much local knowledge and insights. She made sure that all riders were doing well and staying safe along the challenging route. Sara also provided us with optional walking tours in addition to the standard itinerary. Sara showed genuine enthusiasm for her work.
As others have stated, it would be very helpful to try to prepare on some hills. The electric bike may be a consideration to take a little of the edge off the longer climbs.
We had a wonderful adventure visiting four countries in Africa with our excellent guides Petrus and Ende. They worked tirelessly to ensure we were safe, well fed, comfortable and happy. Our group consisted of 8 of us plus the 2 leaders which made for a very comfortable time on the Bruck as we had lots of space. Our tents were new and very easy and quick to put up and take down. The campsites were all different and it’s hard to choose a favourite as they all had something special about them, they all had swimming pools and free WiFi (very slow and usually only at reception or bar). The showers and washroom facilities were sometimes excellent and sometimes basic but always adequate. The meals were varied with plenty of vegetables and salad and huge portions. This is an amazingly diverse itinerary, so well thought out, and you get to see the a range of different landscapes and incredible wildlife.
Each day had its own highlight but the stand out moments were: seeing the leopard stalk its prey, the rhinos at Etosha waterhole at night, being up close to the hippos on the Mokuru boat trip, Victoria Falls, climbing Dune 45 for the sunrise, the stunning African night sky and the clarity of the constellations, the White Lady paintings at Brandberg, our first sight of Table Mountain, the penguins at Boulder Beach, walking from Cape Point to the Cape of Good Hope.
Petrus was our leader but really Petrus and Ende worked as a 2-man team and both were excellent. They clearly had a good relationship and were 2 parts of a whole. Ende had a great sense of humour and infectious laugh but was serious regarding safety and daily briefing. Petrus and Ende had a wealth of knowlege about the wildlife and the countries and took every opportunity to share. They were working every moment of their waking day and their key focus was our safety and enjoyment.
1)Do the optional excursions particularly the safari drive in Chobe ($70) on the afternoon you arrive and in Etosha ($60) on the day you move from one camp to another in the National Park, you wouldn't want to miss out on the wildlife sightings. 2) The sunset cruise in Victoria Falls is a must and includes unlimited alcoholic and soft drinks and hot snacks, great value for money. 3) The wine tasting at Highlanders, just before dinner, is a great way to end the last night of camping before heading off to Cape Town. 4) Binoculars are essential. 5)The Bruck has wildlife and bird books but your own copy of WILDLIFE OF OKAVANGO by Duncan Butchart would add to your enjoyment. 6) It was quite cool overnight in some camps so ensure you take some thermals to sleep in if you feel the cold rather than a thicker sleeping bag. 7) If you're going to wash any items the sinks do not usually have plugs so I used the cap of a large water bottle that I found. 8) The trip notes discuss optional tipping but the tips are expected and the amount is prescribed. It's $5 or the equivalent in local currency per person per activity lead by local guides so make sure you have lots of $5 or $10 bills. 9) Namibia accepts South African Rand so we only got SAR. Credit cards are widely accepted. 10) Go up Table Mountain the moment you see the clouds lift otherwise you might miss out on the opportunity. We went on the afternoon we arrived in Cape Town. 11) Some long Bruck journeys on gravel roads so I found listening to Audible Books really useful when I couldn't read. 12) If cocktails are your thing I'd highly recommend visiting Victoria Falls Hotel for a cocktail on the terrace with a view of the Zambezi Bridge and the mist from the falls. Cocktails were £8 with nibbles. We went in the afternoon around 15:30 and there was no need to book.
The actual holiday was amazing, but the prep support was poor.
Great cycling routes & amazing scenery.
Alan Skulic was a brilliant guide - calm, supportive & always ready with a smile to lighten the moment. He was very kind & helpful to me, as the slowest member of the group, & he made the experience a pleasure rather than a competition. The driver was also excellent & very organised.
Bring your own saddle!
A full on trip on the Silk Road , visiting three countries (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan).Former Soviet countries enjoying their independence, but not quite shaking off the influence of this former ruler. The clash of Soviet and Persian culture is fascinating. Travelled through enormous unspoilt landscapes, sometimes mountainous and sometimes vast plains , once a dried up sea 200 million years ago. The iconic Persian buildings of Samarkand and Bukhara were breathtakingly beautiful . There was also great group dynamics . Loved it.
There were many . Waking up in the mountains in a Yurt and seeing the sun rise. The stunning tomb of Amir Timor in Samarkand. The floodlit Madrassas and Mausoleums in Samarkand. The ancient bath house in Bukhara.
We had two. Both were extremely knowledgeable, Vitaly in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and Dilshod in Uzbekistan. A good leader helps the trip go well and is so important. No complaints at all with these two excellent leaders
This journey is exciting and well coordinated but is full on so very much an adventure rather than a holiday to rest . Bring a power pack for your phone for the night in the Yurt and also overnight on the train. Bring warm weather and cold weather gear and good walking shoes. debit cards are widely accepted and US Dollars for changing to local currency .
This trip was fast paced, very active and jam packed but stunningly beautiful! I am not sure what i was expecting from Crete but it wasn’t this, this was even better! We got to swim in crystal clear waters, hike the famous Samaria Gorge, as well as visit archaeological sites, it had a bit of everything.
Walking through the Samaria Gorge, definitely. It really was stunning!
Enthusiastic and friendly, we visited his home town which he was very excited to show us and very passionate about, it was nice to see a snippet of his home life too!
It gets hot, with not a lot of shade on some walks, bring your hat and carry plenty of water - Oh, and also always have your swimmers handy in your bag just in case you get a chance to cool off!
