No disappointments with the accommodations, food, transportation or schedule. The guide Augustine was remarkable. He is a gifted leader- his skills were first rate with communication, integrity and the ability to unify complete stranger into a team.
When Augustine made us laugh and join together.
A skilled leader in addition to knowing about the history of guiding equipment, flora , fauna and animals. He kept us happy, care free and those of us with sore muscles on schedule.
Don't hesitate go!
Agu was a kind, thoughtful and generous leader throughout our time together. He quickly assessed everyone’s ability and guided us accordingly. This was truly an incredible trip with the most breathtaking views I’ve seen. The accommodations were first class with home cooked meals by our amazing chef! Highly recommend this trip for anyone looking for a great time in the mountains.
Mt Blanc trekking was a bucket list trip for me. I could never have picked a better guide, chalet hosts and group to check this off my list with! Augustine, our guide, was amazing and fun. He planned amazing treks each day and provided excellent commentary. Carolina and Sebastian were awesome hosts, the meals were amazing and they were always available when needed a d gracious. Our group became great friends on the first hike and we laughed, joked and enjoyed every step of the hikes. Everyone was very supportive and entertaining! Thank you all for an amazing trip.
Every view, every hike and every laugh.
Augustine was excellent! He was well organized and kept us on track while joking with us. He was thoughtful, helpful and encouraging. Augustine is a true professional with a great personality!
If we could give Augustine, our guide, a million stars, we would! He took us on some extraordinarily scenic hikes, and expertly tailored it to our own individual skill levels. We appreciated that! Augustine created a great team spirit, and his knowledge of mountain and climbing history, along with his humor, added to the enjoyment! The chalet hosts, Sebastian and Carmelita, were utterly amazing. Their humor and generosity with their time and the excellent meals, created a light and fun atmosphere. It could not have been a nicer, more relaxed and fun experience.
The AMAZING VIEWS!!
If we could give Augustine 1 million stars, we would! His climbing skills, hiking skills - he even taught us how to tape our knees - and knowledge of the mountains and climbing history, made it an utterly incredible experience. He’s the best!
Do this experience ASAP!
The trip provided an overview of three Nordic countries each unique in its own ways. It is a busy trip that makes use of local ferries, ground transportation and of course walking as part of the orientation to allow you to explore the cities and sights. Given a couple of train rides and an overnight ferry and you can say you have experienced the countries.
My most enjoyable moment of the trip was on Day 4 when we took a ferry in Gothenburg to Varango Island. It was nice to be out of the cities and to walk with a local guide and hear about his island and its history
Gigi, well, she is as good as they come. She dealt with the rain and late trains and made sure we didn't miss any highlights. At our initial group meeting she provided us with a two page outline by day that showed us the city, the hotel, our itinerary and other details. There was also a column for notes that anticipated questions one might have for that day. She interacted extremely well with the group and encouraged questions. Just a great personality to have in a guide.
Think carry on for your luggage. You will have 6 changes of lodgings, plus long distance train rides and trams to deal with in between. Comfortable walking shoes and hiking pants that have a lot of zipper pockets is perfect. It was cool and rainy and layers worked the best. A smaller backpack for the city walks is all that is needed. Credit cards worked fine--never needed cash. If you want cash from an ATM ask the guide for their locations. At the initial group meeting inquire of the guide which currency would work the best for a gratuity. This trip has a lot of free time built in. During the 10 days you will have 5 group dinners and 2 lunches. On certain days your free time may start before lunch and you may not see any group members until the next morning. While restaurants in cities may be recommended it may well be your individual decision as to when and where you go. Each city has a colored map with all the touristy sights identified. Doing your homework before the trip will help you prioritize the various sites. The accommodations and hotel staff could not have been any better. Our group flight arrived at the hotel after 5 pm on Sunday which only gave one day to see Oslo. You may want to arrive a day earlier to have 2 days to explore the city. Easy train connection from the airport to Oslo Central Station and than a 15 minute walk to Anker Hotel.
This has to be my best trip with Exodus for the beauty and unspoiled nature. It was awesome.
See the green forests and the bears in their natural habitat.
Sebastian also known as Sebi was very knowledgeable, friendly and always available to support us.
Walking poles are essential and be prepared to beauty and adventure in this quiet place. Accept note there are bells around the sheep and cows for everyone’s protection.
What a wonderful adventure on the island of Sicily. There is everything you could want there – history, culture, scenery, food and wine! There was a good mix of everything on this trip, and I felt that I got to see so many amazing things that I wouldn’t have had I been holidaying on my own
Probably being in at the Valley Of The Temples and learning all about these ancient Greek structures that have stood the test of time!
Alessio is a true gem. He is such an enthusiastic and passionate guide who really made the trip what it was. He showed us the 'real Sicily' and the group adored him. What an asset to Exodus he is!
You cannot drink the tap water in Sicily, so if you have a water bottle with a filter then bring it with you! and bring good walking shoes for Zingaro as it's a rocky coastal path
Just back from hiking in Northern Tuscany’s little known Garfagnana region. Varied walks and terrain with incredible views and a great sense of satisfaction. Really enjoyed the company of our group, the lovely views, pool and family welcome from our comfortable argriturismo and trying lots of traditional Italian food.
Reaching the final summit at the end of the week having hiked almost 140,000 steps! Tired legs but happy.
Sara Bull is a very experienced trekker and leader who knows this region inside out. She gave each of us confidence in our own abilities, lots of tips on hiking and equipment and she brought us together as a group.
Bring decent footwear that you're comfortable hiking in. If you aren't a regular walker try to do some beforehand as the trails are steep in places. Poles are a good addition!
This was our 6th Exodus cycling trip. Portugal is a lovely country with very friendly people and excellent food and wine. Porto was great for 3 nights – have a Port tasting (included) and don’t miss the Station and Time Out Market for a wonderful lunch, take a boat ride on the Douro too. The ride starts flat and follows the coast south, lots of cycle ways, wonderful beaches, great lunches and very good hotels – the waves were huge so swimming is difficult but a splash is refreshing! The second part of the ride is more hilly and interesting venturing inland for a while before joining the coast again – again very good and safe cycle ways. The last day is the best in terms of views and terrain but it is quite tough (but OK for a 72 year old mountain biker). Then we arrived at Obidos the final riding destination – beautiful walled town. Our guide/leader Dinis was superb. The Portuguese people were friendly and really seem to like us Brits, coffees out of the main cities are excellent and about £1 as are the bottles of ‘Super Bock’ beer ( much more in Porto and Lisbon!). If you like fish you will eat well – the restaurant Salgáboca in Praia de Mira is excellent and not that expensive, not to be missed, and watch the beach fishermen landing their morning catch around 9.00am before you set off the next morning
The view from the old Nazaré village and the historic village of Obidos was also memorable
Truly excellent leader, great briefings, happy nature, very safety conscious, backed up by a great team
This ride is easy for the first 2 1/2 days, then tougher for the next 2 1/2 days. The final day is the longest with the most steep hills
