Escorted Holidays

Our escorted tours offer unforgettable experiences for those seeking adventure and cultural discovery. From uncovering India’s cultural wonders with trips to the Taj Mahal to making the rewarding climb to the Everest Base Camp in Nepal, Exodus creates immersive journeys that cater to a wide variety of interests and abilities. Group sizes are intentionally kept small, ranging from 8 to 16 travellers, because smaller groups allow for a more personal experience and it ensures that we travel responsibly, and tread lightly in the places we visit. Smaller groups also foster a friendly dynamic, bringing together people from different backgrounds with a shared passion for travel. 

Every escorted holiday is led by one of our expert local guides who offer invaluable insights into the places you visit. They’ll reveal the stories behind the sights, introduce you to local customs and flavours, and take care of all the logistics—leaving you free to enjoy the adventure. 

If you’re looking for cultural immersion, Italy’s colourful Amalfi Coast and Hoi An’s lantern-lined streets in Vietnam are fantastic options, where rich history, delicious cuisine and warm hospitality await. For a once-in-a-lifetime walking adventure, why not trek the iconic Inca Trail through cloud forests and mountain passes before arriving at the world-renowned ancient citadel, Machu Picchu? Wildlife lovers can explore Costa Rica’s lush rainforests, zipline through jungle canopies, spot exotic animals like sloths and monkeys, and relax on pristine Pacific Coast beaches. Wherever you choose to go, our escorted holidays promise extraordinary experiences every time.

Rest assured, wherever you stay, we ensure it’s a welcoming and convenient base for your adventure.

Absolutely! Over 50% of our travellers choose to travel solo, making it one of our most popular ways to travel. Escorted tours are perfect for solo travellers looking for a safe, sociable, and structured way to explore the world. You’ll meet like-minded adventurers from all over who share your passion for travel, and our group sizes are small enough to make everyone feel included.

That said, age is just a number—our trips appeal to anyone with a sense of adventure and curiosity about the world. It’s the perfect setting to meet people of all backgrounds and walks of life, and many stay in touch long after the adventure is over.

How physically demanding are the escorted holidays?

Our escorted tours are graded to suit different fitness levels, ranging from easy walks and relaxing cycles to more challenging treks and rides with steeper inclines. Some trips involve more physically demanding activities, while others focus on sightseeing and cultural immersion. Each trip’s difficulty level is clearly marked on our site and in our brochures, so you can choose one that matches your comfort level and activity preference. We aim to offer adventures for everyone, so there’s a great range of trips depending on what you’re looking for. 

What should I pack for an escorted tour?

What you pack depends on your destination, the time of year you’re travelling in, and the activities planned for your trip. For most tours, we recommend lightweight, comfortable clothing suitable for a range of temperatures, durable walking shoes, a hat, a waterproof jacket, and essentials like sunscreen and a camera. If you’re unsure about what to bring, our trip notes will provide detailed packing lists based on your specific tour, ensuring you’re fully prepared to get the most out of your experience. 

How much free time is included in an escorted tour?

While our escorted tours are designed to maximise your time exploring, we always ensure there’s plenty of free time built into our itineraries so you can unwind, make use of your accommodation’s facilities or explore further. You’ll have time to stroll through local markets, enjoy a meal with new friends, or discover hidden gems at the beat of your own drum. The balance between structured activities and free time gives you that perfect balance of both guided exploration and personal discovery.

This trip was an excellent way to see a lot of Sri Lanka in 2 weeks. There was so much variety in the places we visited and the activities undertaken. We were able to experience culture and history in the temples and towns and then enjoy the wildlife on the safaris and the cycling trip. The Sri Lankan people were very welcoming.

Ann Gordon Discover Sri Lanka

Established and well thought through tour of a beautiful desert with spectacular night skys.
Accurate depiction of comfort and difficultly levels, comfort level was possible a bit better than expected given the tents were always assembled and taken down by the support staff and the portable chemical toilet worked well.
Everything ran on time, we weren’t super fast, I was in fact the slowest of the group (my pre trek training disrupted unfortunately) however we still made good time (if you can do several back to back 20 minute miles on a treadmill and have good balance you should be fine).
Several kinds of desert flowers were in bloom, Argan trees and Thyme were abundant.
