Brilliant trip

This was a superb trip! The group support from the 15 trekkers was truly fantastic and we helped each other through any challenging bits. We had excellent guides and porters, and the teahouses were relatively comfortable, with a more varied diet on offer than I'd expected. I was genuinely surprised at how good the teahouses were – not luxurious of course, but certainly homely and welcoming. The views at all stages were stunningly beautiful and I felt truly humbled by the magnificence of the Sanctuary itself – it was very emotional getting there.

Cape and Winelands Cycling Tour

Very enjoyable trip. Wynand, the guide, was good company, very informative and kept the group well organised throughout the trip.

Beautiful country, particularly enjoyed the coastal areas and Cape Peninsula.

As usual, large group meals can be restricting.

Cycling in Cuba

A really fantastic trip, varied and very interesting the trip notes do describe it well.

Amalfi coast with the kids

We took our two children, age 5 and 6, to Italy for the first time. In his words, my son Ben’s verdict was ‘Wowzers!.

Walking the Amalfi Coast

The 4 walks were all excellent and brilliantly led by our leader. The sight seeing days were also excellent, with opportunities to visit Pompeii, Vesuvius and Herculaneum. The hotel was fine – nothing luxurious, but everything worked and the staff were very friendly. Food was good, including the vegetarian options.

Jordan trip

This was a trip of a lifetime. Just loved it so much. We had such fun against a breathtaking desert backdrop. I also felt I learned so much about the geography of Jordan. It was more than I expected it to be and I would go back in a camel’s heartbeat.

A Great Trip

This is a fantastic trip. It is really varied and you see so much of the country and experience so many different things that you feel like you have been away for a lot longer than 8 days

Essential Peru

AMAZING! This has been a fabulous trip encompassing all of the best parts of Southern Peru in a great order, giving time to acclimatise to the altitude. It was a hectic, tiring but exciting whirlwind of a trip as we did so much in two weeks, particularly the first week and everything was well organised. We even managed a few nights out! After initial nervousness about going on my first group adventure on my own and my first Exodus trip, I would definitely go again – right now!

Cycle Indochina and Angkor

I found the first there days a little tedious with not much to see and little in the way of cultural experience but if you want to get some cycling miles in then it works! But I went on this trip to see the Angkor Wat temples which did not disappoint. The short bike ride on arrival in Siam Reap to the local market was great fun as this was the first time we came across any real traffic on this trip. The support teams in all three countries were very good and especially in Thailand provided some great snacks at rest breaks. But Vietnam offered the best cultural experience
and the best cycling through backstreets and along the canals

Everest Base Camp Trek

I’ve traveled extensively on mountaineering expeditions in the past. The Everest Base Camp trip was one of the hardest and most enjoyable. The Exodus team throughout was fantastic. Our trip leader Lhakpa Lama was by far the best leader I have traveled with. His team of Kami Sherpa, Endeva Sunvwar and R.B Sunvwar were superb. We were a team of 16 trekkers and they looked after each of us like we were family.

However, you don’t really know how good your leaders are until you run into trouble. I’ve climbed all over the world and had been over 6,000 meters in the past with never any problems. On this trek, right below Base Camp, I developed pneumonia. The care I received and the medical skills demonstrated by Lhakpa were unforgettable and life saving. It was decided that I should be evacuated by horse to the emergency medical facility in Periche. It took us over 3 hours down those steep mountain trails to get there and every step of the way I was accompanied by Kami who was always looking out for my condition on that horse, helped me walk when I needed to and was by my side until we regrouped with the rest of the team. I recovered and was able to rejoin my team on our trek down and have made it safely back home.

I will never forget my team but especially our team leader who has now become “little brother” to me.

Exodus does so much in that part of the world and they are recognized as one of the best. And, I fully agree. I would not take that trek with anyone else. The Exodus team has earned my highest level of trust and respect.

If there is a bit of adventure in your heart, go. But go with Exodus, you will not regret it.
