Great walking in the Andalucian countryside!

A lovely holiday in relaxed accommodation with good food, nice walks and a day visit to Seville!

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking in the countryside with its undulating hills, whitewashed villages and local relaxed bars provided an authentic experience of this part of Spain!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Chris did a great job by ensuring everything was very well organised and sharing lots of useful local knowledge during the walks.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Remember to take something warm if you are travelling in March as I did as it can be quite cool in the mornings!

Walking in Andalucia

We had a wonderful week walking in Andalucia. The trip was well organised and the level was just right.

Most Inspirational Moment

The whole trip

Thoughts on Group Leader

Chris was an excellent leader and Tina added to the trip also

Land of the Tiger - Excellent Trip

Had a wonderful first trip to India. Vijay Chansoria was an excellent guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing tigers in the wild. Seeing the diverse wildlife and birds. Getting involved in the culture.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vijay Chansoria is an excellent guide. He imparts his vast knowledge of the wildlife and India with ease.

Great experience

A condensed package deal of the diversity spectrum of Japan. Full on city life, ancient culture and traditions. Good variety of things to see and do.

Most Inspirational Moment

Really loved Matsumoto. Quite place to stay, beautiful cherry blossom and the black tower was amazing.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ryoko was a fantastic group leader. She got the balance right with her information - the key points were clearly stated (and illustrated) without her droning on. She listened to the group and took on board what they wanted - for such a large group she kept us together, informed and safe brilliantly.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for a lot of walking everyday. If you do not like spending a lot of time on your feet then do not book this trip. However, the walking is a great way to fully experience this fantastic country.

Highlights of Northern India

Fabulous advice and guidance, ethical and sustainable throughout. The Taj Mahal was amazing and the boat trip on the river Ganges was inspirational an unexpected highlight. The whole trip was well planned, felt very safe as a solo traveller.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing a tiger in a wild was memorable even though there was only a 50% chance.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent tour leader, especially on the overnight train, as the train was on time and the majority of the group were still sleeping, we could have missed the station in Delhi if he was not there. Couldn't have had a better tour leader, as he was indispensable on this trip.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take a small sheet and travel pillow for the overnight train.

A fantastic trip

Superb, challenging cycling; outstanding scenery; amazing wildlife in a fantastic country.

Most Inspirational Moment

The best moment has to be when we saw the leopard in Kruger NP - a truly amazing creature - we had a fantastic view of him - I won't forget it. Cycling-wise there were lots of brilliant rides with just amazing scenery to inspire and keep you going up those hills. The best day for me was the one billed as the "toughest" day which was indeed challenging but included some real treats en-route - the best of which is swimming in the Mac Mac pools - cooling you down for the final climb!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Wynand's knowledge of all things South African was extensive - be it the flora and fauna, the countryside, the history, the people. He was always happy to share his knowledge and answer all our questions. He knew all about the cycling routes, the bikes and I felt he gauged just right how far to push us with the correct balance of encouragement and support. He dealt with bike issues quickly and efficiently. Wynand and the team also catered for the group most breakfasts and lunches as well as several evening meals - they did an amazing job of producing delicious, hearty, fresh meals again and again - including local foods and even a BBQ lunch on one cycle ride! He did a great job of bonding the group together and making us feel like a team. Throughout the trip I felt relaxed and confident that we were in safe hands.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't be fooled by what appear to be quite short distances - most days involve quite a lot of climbing, which when you factor in the heat can be quite tough. It's all do-able but do some training before you go to make it more enjoyable.

Cycle Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama - SUPERB!

Absolutely amazing! Loved every moment. Roberto our guide was fantastic and this made our holiday extra special, nothing was too much trouble. I have been on many Exodus trips and the standard of guides is usually good, but Roberto was exceptional.
The itinerary was very varied, full on, and I enjoyed the switch backs between the Pacific coast and the Caribbean. A snapshot of the best of the three countries within two weeks. I also really enjoyed the island stays, boat rides, dolphin watching and snorkelling. A real mixed bag, but in particular the cycling was fantastic.

Most Inspirational Moment

The climbs and running into the sea after a day's cycling!

Thoughts on Group Leader

The best!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Book it, you will not be disappointed.

AMAZING TREK TO MACHU PICCHU

This is an excellent trek through the lush, green mountains of the Andes. Our guide, Willmer, was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, he answered all our questions and nothing was too much trouble for him or his team of porters. The pace was leisurely with some steep climbs, there was no pressure or hurry to get to the top.

Most Inspirational Moment

Unzipping our tent on the second morning of the trek and looking down into the stunning, cloud filled valley - an experience that made the whole trip worthwhile.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Willmer Delagdo was brilliant! His knowledge, help and patience made certain that the trip was a pleasure for everyone. He also had a wicked sense of humour!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Insect repellent and a slow, steady, uphill pace.......!

Best holiday I've ever had

We’d never used a tour group before but decided to give it a go for this holiday as we wanted to make sure we fit plenty in. Straight away we knew that we had made a good decision. All of the hotels and Ryokans that we stayed in were excellent. We managed to go to a lot of places and learn a lot about the areas. Having all of the technical details taken care of meant that we could really enjoy our time in Japan.

There was a good mix of places to go and things to see and although there is a lot of walking the pace is quite slow so it’s not to bad. The balance between group and free time is very well struck so you can definitely fit in the things that you want to do outside of the tour.

Most Inspirational Moment

I can't pick one so maybe three, the Inari shrine in the early hours of the morning, it was so quiet and tranquil. The peace park in Hiroshima, it was quite harrowing but inspirational at the same time. The cherry blossoms, I've seen cherry blossoms before but there is something about the Japanese attitude towards the blossoming of the trees that was truly amazing.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Absolutely excellent. I couldn't imagine someone doing a better job. Yuri was friendly, efficient and helpful. She had an incredible amount of knowledge about the areas we visited and Japan in general meaning that she was able to answer pretty much all the questions we posed. She made excellent recommendations for places to visit during our free time and usually purchased train tickets for us to get where we wanted to go so that we wouldn't have to figure the system out. She also arranged meals every night which was a huge help since my boyfriend is vegetarian and as such ensuring there was something he could eat was a bit difficult at times. The food she picked out was always amazing, I'm very glad that we had her advice as otherwise I wouldn't have tried half of the food that I did. All in all I really can't sing Yuri's praises enough.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just go for it, it's worth having someone to guide you around, there is so much we would have missed without someone who had experienced it all before and knew how to get everywhere easily. Also take comfortable shoes (better yet ones that you can get on and off easily) and something warm and waterproof, it could get a bit cold at times, particularly in the mountains and although it only rained once on our trip we got soaked. When it comes to the public baths just have a go, there were a few members of our group who weren't sure but honestly it's something that you absolutely shouldn't miss.

Everest: beating all expectations!

A fantastic trip, great scenery all the way up, amazingly close views of the world’s highest mountains, good food, wonderful local people and a great group of fellow travellers.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing Base Camp down on the Khumbu Glacier, after an early start and tough hike over rough ground covered in fresh snow. Also the stunning early morning view of Everest from Kala Pattar.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ngima G Sherpa was a great leader, wonderful sense of humour and totally dedicated to our safety and enjoyment.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure you are at least reasonably fit, some days are tough, eat the local food and just do it!
