Our trip was amazing, can’t believe we did so much! Leaving the hotel by 8 each morning we seemed to do a week’s worth of adventure in one day! Our guide was brilliant, he was informative, fun and had great English. The hotels were much better than I expected, the one in Hoi An was particularly good.
We went to a local house for a meal. Not only was the food the best of the whole trip but it was really interesting to meet the family and to gain some understanding of their way of life.
He was excellent. I don't think he could have been improved upon. Clone him!
Do it!
A brillant holiday. Amazing views. Some walks are harder than others for example. Good. Path of God’s you really do need a head for heights and be prepared to doing some mini rock climbing.
The accommodation was brillant. The owners are lovely the food was amazing. The great location. A nice quiet area instead of being in the hustle and bustle of almafi town.
The views, the food and having a good local guide to show us the almafi coast.
Severio was great very knowledgeable and great to have a local person doing the job.
Take Plenty of money with you. It's an expensive area. Take good walking shoes/boots and be prepared to be walking up and down loads of steps.
Never a dull day, so much to see. Even on the chill out days we took on the optional tours just to maximize the experience. It’s a great place and the areas are so diverse from the coast, desert, mountains to the cloud forest.
There were lots of them but the build up was all about summiting with Macchu Picchu, initially disappointing, too many people, too many clouds totally obscuring the view and it rained. That was the morning in the afternoon the crowds cleared out, the skies also cleared so we had sunshine and Macchu Picchu to ourselves, well almost, it certainly felt like that.
Aleks was a great guide, he kept everything on track, what more do you need from a guide?
Before taking Essential Peru on please consider the following: - It is no holiday, early starts, different location every night and loads of places to visit really mean there is little rest time. - It's a very big country which means many miles to cover which clearly means you will spend a lot of hours on the bus - Much of the trip is at altitudes most of us do not regularly experience, you maybe fit and will no doubt acclimatize but nonetheless any exertion will be hard work, so bear that in mind. - When the sun comes out it is fierce so make sure you have plenty of lotion. - The ATMs generally work but we found a lot of them to have a S400 limit which only equates to £100. You can change up Sterling but US dollars are the preferred currency.
The trip was an excellent way to see a sample of the best bits of Costa Rica. We had an excellent guide (Jorge) , who managed to find loads of animals and birds for us to watch.
For me, this was being in the cloud forest and rain forest - being able to see all those things you have heard about on nature programs and geography lesson!
Jorge was a superb leader. He was very knowledgable about the country, the wildlife and the places we visited . He was really good at considering and involving the children and teenagers. Restaurant choices were good value and suitable for our family group. Jorge was very friendly and considerate. I would like to thank him for his excellent tour and personal dedication.
Guidebook temperatures are only that - a guide. We travelled in early April and temperatures were over 30 degrees C. Mosquito repellent is important . Drink bottled water. Do go if you can as it is fascinating country with lots of wildlife to see.
As an American who grew up in the 60s, the American war in Vietnam was a painful episode in our history. The exodus trip did not shy away from some the sites that caused me some personal pain. That said, I welcomed the reflection. For me it was not a trip entirely about lounging, great food and shopping. And I am grateful to our gracious guide for that; and the amazing Brits who were my traveling companions.
Taking a side trip to a war memorial in Hue. The peddle car driver opened up to us that he lost a father and uncle in the war. He was very kind about your mutual loss.
I can't say enough about Binh our leader. He let us know that all subjects were acceptable to ask questions about. He wanted to share information about his country ; political and cultural. He told us his own personal story, which reflected the hardship after the reunification of Vietnam. His honesty and kindness are qualities he did not have to share with a bunch of tourists, but he went there. The first day he called us his little family. A two week family.
The itinerary is touristy. There are masses of people at each site. There are painful reminders of the war at several places.
Great trip with some stunning sights however, various aspects were not up the the usual excellent Exodus standard. Safety in various places on the wall could have been improved by having another guide at the back of the group. A member of the party was asked to do this which was unfair, this was a position for Exodus to fill. Fortunately, we had a fantastic group and no one was left behind on their own. Goodness only knows what would have happened in the event of a mishap, having only one guide who was ahead and seldom waited for people to catch up.
Also, the itinerary was changed, which Exodus reserves the right to do, but we were given no explanation and very vague information on the following days walks.
The city tour was a huge disappointment as our guide gave us very little time to take pictures and did not wait for the whole group before giving information or issuing instructions.
Seeing unrestored parts of the wall and having it all to ourselves.
Nice chap but fairly unenthusiastic and very vague. Overall not up to Exodus usual excellent standard.
Make sure you're reasonably fit as there are plenty of steep climbs. Vegetarian food it quite hard to come by but what there is, is delicious.
I am a grandmother of 56 who went on this trip with my 7 year old grandson. It was brilliant, my grandson played in the snow all day when not on other activities. He build his own igloo, sledged and generally messed about in the snow. It is a really safe environment for children and he was never bored. Any optional excursions that he was a bit young for (snowmobiling) they catered for him by coming up with a safe alternative without us having to miss the activity i.e. The main man pulled a sledge behind his snowmobile which was safe for my grandson and also fun for him and this allowed me to take part in the snowmobiling (which was great).
The area is beautiful
She was lovely and so helpful
Take a scarf, it does not say to but you will need one
I felt we experienced the best of Vietnam with this varied, action packed and scenic trip.
The two cycle climbs and descents - awesome views!
Fantastic.
Don't hesitate to book, you will not be disappointed. I had 5 first hand positive referrals before booking so my bar was high and it was even exceeded.
Trying to entertain an energetic 11 year old and their mum is no easy task but this holiday did exactly that! A perfect blend of culture and activity along with an experienced tour guide on what level of information to give, what pace to go and keep the interest of all ages.
We loved it! Molto Beno
Climbing Mount Vesuvius
Eduardo was just great. You can tell he is very experienced and really made the holiday!
Its always a little cooler on climbing the mountains so make sure that you pack a jumper/coat for that day!
This was an amazing trip! Lots of Tigers (including cubs), lovely fresh food, a great group leader and of course sunshine!
The Tigers were by far the best part for me. They are beautiful and we were so lucky to see 18 including some cubs too. The rest of the wildlife was also really good from leopard, sloth bear, Peacocks, monkeys dear, and countless birds! For me the countryside was lovely.
Krishna was our group leader and he definately made sure our holiday was a great one. He was very knowledgable and couldn't do enough for us. He arranged extra game drives, joined in with the group and gave us plenty of information along the way! Excellent guide.
Although this is stated as a leisurely holiday, the early starts make it a long day but well worth it!
