Discover Uzbekistan

Exodus organisation was very well put together and the tour guide, Sergey Matrosov was the perfect person to lead the trip. He immersed himself into the group and had a passion for his country and was extremely knowledgable in the history of all sites visited.

Most Inspirational Moment

It is difficult to single out particular highlights as the itinerary had so much variety to offer that everything we experienced was a highlight in itself. But one place that stood out for me was the Aya Kala Forteress in the desert. This place has a special energy and was well worth including on the itinerary.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sergey Matrosov was the perfect tour leader. He fully immersed himself into the group, was very well organised, had a passion for his country and was extremely knowledgeable about the history and facts of every place on the itinerary. His friendliness and social persona was well received by the whole group and everyone held him in high regard.

The Inca Trail

Thoughts on Group Leader

Amazing, friendly guy. Font of knowledge and clearly enjoyed showing others his country/culture

Exceptional

Having booked somewhat last minute, we were anxious approaching our first multi day trek, mostly about our fitness (particularly for me as an energetic 57 year old weekend walker without any training regime), but also about travelling with strangers for 8 days. We need not have been. It was hugely challenging, especially with the unseasonably hot weather (34-36C), but the demanding ascents/descents and long days were achievable and gave us a huge sense of achievement at the end of each day. Campsites were amazing, from dusty village to green (but mostly dry) oasis and awe-inspiring mountain plateau. We barely saw a soul during the days and only small numbers of villagers at night. Seeing the little group of green tents already set up below us as we made our final descent of the day and knowing that the wonderful Exodus team would have a absolutely delicious dinner on, a brew and biscuits (or sometimes pancakes straight from the pan) on arrival was a fantastic reward at the end of each day’s walking. It was a real privilege to be looked after by such experienced, dedicated and kind people – and a hardworking mule. We always felt safe and our guide Mohamed ensured that the pace was regulated to push us onwards, but give decent rests. Lunch was a welcome reward each day, and quite extraordinary given the environment to have a hot dish and a beautiful spread of salads and fresh bread with mint tea. Shade was our one issue during the day, this is a dry landscape that is suffering as a result of climate change. But our team always found lunchtime shade and encouraged us to lie down and rest on carpets after we had eaten our meal! Our group were great, lots of different characters and ages, from multiple countries, travelling as couples, friends or individuals; everyone looked out for each other and the conversation was endless and enriching. We felt exceptionally lucky to have made our last minute decision – it was 100% one of our best ever trips.

Most Inspirational Moment

Sitting in our tent doorway looking out at an endless vista of empty desert mountains as the sun set.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Kind, motivating and hugely expert in the field, Mohamed was a man you could trust.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Camping is comfortable on thick foam mattresses. We rented v clean sleeping bags from Exodus and took silk liners which freed up space in our luggage (we were heading onwards to a week of r&r in Essaouira afterwards and needed extra clothes etc). Food is superb, fresh and v suitable for vegetarians. Toilet tent is fine for a group of 13, and not too grim! We didn’t use walking poles and were fine, but plenty of others did. Take 2 x 1l water bottles, refilling is always possible, but we got through a lot. Definitely worth taking energy bars and/or trail mix, they do provide some snacks, but you burn a lot of energy and it can really help push you over the next pass!

Highlights of Morocco

One of the best Exodus trips I have experienced. Exodus was able to select the best locations of Morocco to provide an experience not to be forgotten for a long time. We were 15 in our group and we were all quite fun and enjoyable with each other during the long bus rides and tour walks and meals together. We enjoyed the tours of Marrakech, Fez, and Essaouira. Quite thrilling to ride the camels on the Sahara Desert. The sunrise and sunsets on the Sahara were spectacular.

Most Inspirational Moment

Tours of Fez (tannery, porcelain shops, Medina and the souk). Camel ride in the Sahara Desert and seeing the sunrise and sunsets while staying at the Bedouin campsites. Our group leader took us to his family’s village in the High Atlas region was heartwarming.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mohamed was the best ever. He was energetic, full of information, extremely helpful, resolved our concerns and a great person to have met and be with. I don’t know how he was able to find and retrieve the phone of a member in our group who dropped it in the Sahara Desert ! A miracle!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for long bus rides (but with frequent stops for driver rest, coffee and toilet breaks). Almost all of our tour members got stomach problems so be prepared for this to occur. I was one that didn’t have issues - use bottled water for everything (brushing teeth, washing hands, and drinking liquids). Be aware when showering or washing face not to get the water in your mouth. Food is great but be careful in eating fruits and vegetables that was not washed with bottled or filtered water.

Petra & Wadi Rum by Bike

Brilliant group of fellow travellers. Our leader Mohammad was so knowledgeable and friendly. Hotels satisfactory. Excellent food. Great mix of cycling and culture.

Visit to Petra. But everything was amazing.

Most Inspirational Moment

The acropolis, pillar and the gorge walks had great scenery and just that little extra difficulty we were looking for.

Most Inspirational Moment

Going to the elephant sanctuary.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Rhat was just the best! Made me feel so comfortable and was so easy to talk to and get to know and was able to answer any questions we had for her. She also helped to introduce us to more local snacks while travelling between places as well as able to recommend more local foods when in restaurants.

Great guiding- Fantastic country to visit

I loved my trip. Both the guide Andrea and driver Tani were helpful, kind and knowledgeable. Despite being henpecked by the other ladies in the group he stayed calm polite and helpful. The route was tough but doable and lots of stops along the way. It’s a gorgeous country and I was happy to see it before it gets over touristed.

Most Inspirational Moment

Climbing Llogara pass. I didn't think I could do it but the other riders were super helpful and encouraging and Tani was waiting at every turn to help if I gave up.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Andrea was patient, kind and helpful. I would be thrilled to have him as my guide in the future. Exodus is lucky to have him!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Train early and train often. It's worth it.

Wonderful Trip Around Morocco

This wonderful trip is great for people who want to see more of Morocco. The culture, people and landscapes will be something i won’t forget for a long time.

Most Inspirational Moment

Camping in the Sahara! I knew before going on this trip that the Sahara would be beautiful but I was still blown away. Our leader organised a 4x4 jeep ride through the Sahara which made it extra special.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Khaled was amazing. He couldn't do enough for our group and was always up for a laugh. His passion for his country and knowledge comes through in abundance.

Advice for Potential Travellers

There are some long travel days so bring a good book or something to do/watch.

A Week in Jordan

Everything is planned and organised so you don’t have to worry about anything – much easier than trying to organise it on your own,.

Most Inspirational Moment

The High Place of Sacrifice - on Mikhled's advice we did a circular route up and down, which meant we saw much more, and we met very few other people.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was very knowledgeable and could answer any questions we had. He got on with everyone in the group, and helped those who needed a hand for support etc. He was very helpful regarding when we needed to tip for things not covered by the kitty, how to negotiate with sellers etc. He seemed to know everyone, wherever we went, so I felt we were in safe hands. An all-round excellent leader.
