Having personally completed over 8 Exodus cycling trips, this one to the Patagonia region of Chile and Argentina rates as one of the best – a fabulous route through stunning scenery of snow capped mountains, volcanoes with lava fields and vast lakes. Highly recommended
Cycling over the Andes mountain pass between Chile and Argentina, with the later visit to the Conguillio National Park and the Eco-lodge
They were all great - thank you to the local team Marcello, Taiel & Jero
Most days had good weather, but you should also pack proper rain proof gear, as the weather can be erratic
This was a really enjoyable trip. Although the group was the maximum (16 people) and the bus could be a bit cramped at times, it worked really well. The trip used a local driver and guide both of whom were excellent (Ritza and Andree) and in particular Ritza was able to inform us about the wildlife and different aspects of the culture of Madagascar. The other guides used in the national parks and at the accommodation were also very good. Madagascar is an amazing place and the range of landscapes and wildlife is extremely varied. I also found the local people to be very friendly.
There were many highlights including the following: 1. Hearing the early morning cries of the Indri lemurs in Andasibe. 2. Seeing mouse lemurs and the rainforest in Ramofana. 3. Seeing ring tailed lemurs very close. 4. The amazing landscapes and the "black pool" at Isalo. 5. Travelling to and from Nosy Ve by a traditional dhow. 3. The welcome given to us by the villagers when our bus broke down and we had a 90 minute delay while Andree fixed the bus.
Ritza was excellent. She was very friendly, enthusiastic and approachable throughout the trip and gave some very good talks on the bus on Madagascan life. The dealt with the bus breaking down crisis brilliantly and got the ladies on our trip dancing with the villagers.
Be prepared for some long drives on some poor roads (although most of the roads outside the Tana to Fianarantsoa section were fairly decent) but that is realistically the only way to see the number of attractions which are covered by this trip. The accommodation was very good throughout but I would try and although the food was generally fine I would try and eat outside the hotels whenever possible. The town close to Isalo has an amazing pizza restaurant about 200 yards from the hotel.
The wildlife was incredible, the colours, the sounds, the variety, the landscapes…
Seeing sea turtles being born and seeing their journey back to the sea.
Superb! Knowledgeable, patient, enthusiastic, with great command of the English language
Excellent trip with the major highlights being the gorilla trekking at the beginning and the wildlife safaris in Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara at the end (and we got to see all of the Big 5). Uganda was slightly disappointing, as we had to miss the Lake Mburo stop due to weather, although I did enjoy the white water rafting in Jinja.
The crew were excellent and the accommodation was good throughout and it was a great group. Overall I had a fantastic time.
The gorilla trekking was the definite highlight, to spend that time so close to those magnificent animals was incredible. I was amazed how close we got, which made it very special.
Kip was an excellent leader, knowledgeable, helpful, efficient & friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Along with the rest of the crew (Dan, Ken & Amos) he made the trip run like clockwork.
Bring long sleeves, long trousers and long socks for the gorilla trekking. Also a $50 note to exchange money at the Kenyan border, you get a better rate with larger notes (this is not mentioned in the trip notes)
A fantastic trip with wonderful views of mountains in the Everest region.
Seeing Everest for the first time, getting to base camp/summiting Kala Pattar the following morning. Meeting a great bunch of people on the trip.
Sukman was excellent. Was very organised, got on very well with the group, had a wonderful knowledge of the region and he did everything with a great sense of humour. He had a wonderful support team in Ming Ma/Gami/Geljen/Yak Man (apologies don't remember his name).
Walk slowly on the ascent to allow your body to acclimatise, drink plenty of water and enjoy the wonderful views that are around you. To be honest, the teahouses and the food was better than I had expected based on what I had read on the internet. Chips and beans was very enjoyable at Gorak Shep.
What a wonderful experience. There is so much history in Vietnam, and to visit all the sights with a knowledgeable tour guide just makes it so much more interesting. Loved that we had a small group of 12 and everything ran smoothly, weather was great. Thanks to our tour guide Phat for a great holiday.
I enjoyed the biking days. Riding through the small side streets you get to see how the locals live away from the tourist areas. The overnight on the boat was a great experience, Halong Bay is beautiful.
Wonderful walks, fabulous views in a beautiful Country.
I think the most inspirational moment was visiting Pompeii and walking the upper crater rim of Vesuvius. This volcano sits quietly at the moment but you know that it caused such destruction in its wake all those years ago, its quite awe inspiring.
Paul was our tour leader and he was fabulous, full of knowledge about the area, very organised and a great sense of humour. He made the trip what it was and worked really hard to ensure that everyone was looked after and having a great time.
This is a leisurely paced trip however the walking is definitely a level 2 purely because of all of the steps that you have to walk, there wasn't anyone in the group that didn't feel it in their legs at some point during the trip. I'd recommend doing some training prior to the trip to build up your stamina for the walking if you are not used to it.
A superb trip with a great hotel, lovely staff and a fabulous tour guide.
My favourite part really was seeing the bears it was truly magical, cute and cuddly. The heart did pound a little as we walked to the bear hide but knowing they are more scared of you than you are of them helped a lot. We saw many bears over 10 in fact including a mum with her two cubs, truly amazing.
Udi our group leader was fabulous, he was very knowledgeable and insightful with all that he shared. I particularly loved that he knew so much about all the flowers and birds it really added something to the trip for me.
If you get travel sick at all then take travel calm tablets with you. There's not much travel involved but if you suffer its really helpful to take them, once I did I didn't suffer at all. I travelled with KLM via Amsterdam from Leeds and they lost the luggage on the way out so make sure you have flights that allow at least 2 hours transfer otherwise they will struggle to transfer your bags for you.
This was a trip arranged at very short notice as my trip to the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia was cancelled. I viewed it as a consolation prize but it turned out to be the exact opposite. The desert scenery was stunning, the walking was pitched at the right level and the itinerary was superb. The icing on the cake was that the whole group was lovely.
I loved the desert scenery. I was expecting sand.... but I got beautiful imposing sandstone mountains and rocks which looked strangely like melting chocolate in places. So, the most inspirational part of the trip for me was the day spent scrambling up the hills to a rock bridge where a bit of a climb enabled me to stand on the bridge to make the most of the views. I also slept outside with amazing clear sky's full of stars.
He was superb. Very knowledgable about the history and culture of Jordan but also had an amazing ability to check out how the group were feeling. He made the trip run very smoothly.
You may wish to take a little more money than the trip notes advise. All meals were usually less than 15 dinars, but with snacks and tips I spent £150 altogether. Not a lot for a week away, but if I had wanted to buy presents (I didn't) I could have been left short of cash. Be aware that debit or credit cards are not widely used at all.
I had always wanted to visit the Amalfi Coast and wasn’t disappointed. The weather was sunny and warm all week, despite it being late October. The hotel staff were fab, the food plentiful and of a really high quality – and they catered brilliantly for my gluten/dairy free dietary requirements.
We visited all of the main sights and had knowledgeable but fun guides at both Pompeii and Vesuvius. Herculaneum was another highlight, as was the the Walk of the Gods.
Severio was great - really knowledgeable about the area with excellent English. He also rearranged the itinerary to ensure we got to Capri as the ferries were stopping running that week. He also arranged for us to join the hiking group staying at the same hotel to save us money on a trip to Pompeii.
Wear hiking boots on the Walk of the Gods, not just waking shoes.
