The immersive experiences exceeded my expectations. Muhammad, our Guide, was excellent at sharing knowledge, culture, history, providing cultural awareness around our movements/behaviours and remaining involved and engaged with all of us. We felt safe, happy and able to see and do things far beyond what we could organize on our own.

Also, we purchased some items at the Fez tannery and a rug at the High Atlas womans cooperative. I especially loved my time at the cooperative. The tour of the ceramic cooperative was a bit too high pressure sales which felt out of synch with the rest of our trip. The food was wonderful! And the tea too. Muhammad always made sure we had plenty of water. I don't eat bread normally so that was a change in my diet, especially in the morning.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mohammed is kind, authentic, smart, informed and funny. He represented the country and culture extremely well.
The guide (Mahommad) was fantastic. Extremely informative and caring. Very professional and an excellent risk manager. You have an amazing resource there. The driver (also Mahommad) was a pro. I sat near him the entire trip and saw how he managed the vehicle and passenger safety (and comfort). Again, a true pro. Rare.
Most Inspirational Moment
Meeting the children in the mountain villages. See the architecture. Learning about the culture and history.

If I could hire this man to work at my company in Canada, I would. He is exceptional. I very much appreciated how he took care of my, my wife, and my family that were on the trip with us.
Had a great time over the six days through Brittany and Normandy. Yannis made the trip enjoyable, relaxed, well organised and interesting. It was run at a good pace, nothing felt to long or to short, was plenty to take in and see. Cycle routes were interesting and kept us off a lot of roads where possible. Food stops and restaurants that Yannis took us too were all lovely with plenty of options to try. The trip to the cidre distillery was a nice stop to break up some of the heavier history stops. We covered a good amount of history, was just the right amount. Hotels were all well located, bathrooms were a little odd in some as would have been nice to have a shower after long rides, but had to make do with baths in a few. Bikes were easy to ride and adjust where needed. Overall would be more than happy to travel with Exodus on another cycle trip, hoping more locations in France become available as guided trips as prefer these over self guided options.

Mont Saint Micheal was the reason for booking so to see this was the big highlight. Glad we had enough time to go in and have a look around the church.

Yannis was a great tour leader, he keep everything well organised, relaxed and interesting and managed our rides well. Was always very helpful and considerate. Also picked good restaurants with plenty of options to pick from. Brough great energy and joy to each day. Thank you.
Everything was perfectly arranged during our holiday, the tour guide Yannis Brousset was excellent and took care of all the arrangements during our holiday, so we were thoroughly able to relax and enjoy the beautiful areas we visited with Yannis providing with just the right amount of detail at the numerous interest spots we stopped at. The various events organised were brilliant.

Thank you so much Yannis you made our trip so enjoyable and looked after us extremely well
Ecuador was truly a holiday of two halves. Mainland Ecuador was beautiful to explore, but the Galápagos was an absolutely unforgettable experience. I could have easily spent two weeks there. The wildlife was incredible, with so much to see and experience. Swimming with large sea turtles was a real highlight, and I still can’t quite believe it happened. Watching the birds, playful sea lions, sharks, and iguanas up close felt completely surreal. It would have been nice to see Kicker Rock, but I understand that sightings of hammerhead sharks can be hit or miss. I did feel, however, that the physical rating for this trip wasn’t entirely accurate. It was listed as Easy to Moderate, but I think it should be highlighted more clearly as closer to a level 2 to 3. Our group included a mix of ages, four under 50 and the rest over 60, and many found the hiking, snorkelling, and walking over uneven volcanic rock quite challenging. Despite that, everyone was an absolute joy to travel with, such a great group. The guides were fantastic, but Richard, our Galápagos guide, truly stood out. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome in his home country. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and great sense of humour made every day special, and by the end of the trip, we felt like one big family. Richard’s organisation was exceptional. His daily updates and schedules on WhatsApp kept everyone informed, and he shared wonderful group photos, wildlife pictures, and videos throughout the trip. We always felt safe with him, especially during snorkelling excursions. He was constantly smiling, approachable, and full of positive energy. He even ended the trip with a thoughtful gesture, gifting each of us a Galápagos Islands fridge magnet, which was such a lovely touch. Overall, an absolutely outstanding trip and experience truly unforgettable.

Snorkelling with Sea turtles. Watching the sea lions, the "stray dogs" of the islands. The giant tortoises.

Both leaders were great, but Richard was truly exceptional. Then again, the Galápagos Islands have that special effect on you.
I had a great time on the trip. Although the bike tour was challenging, it was very interesting and I felt that I was in good hands. The guides were friendly, competent and fun. My only negative comment would be that we could have had a free day to relax and rest up a bit from the constant movement from hotel to hotel. In spite of this, I felt that the trip was well worth the expense.
Most Inspirational Moment
The beautiful scenery and the challenging riding conditions.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jannis and Pascal were always friendly, calm, patient, helpful and fun. I felt like I was part of a family as we toured through Normandy and Brittany.
It was a wonderful experience – as rich & varied as Sicilian culture. The group comprised people of remarkable experience,from diverse backgrounds & cultures and our mutual enthusiasm for the highlights helped bond us. So it was a happy tour facilitated largely by Francesco whose passion for his region was matched by his knowledge.

Mount Etna / the Cathedral at? Mont Real outside Palermo was truly inspiring /
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was charming and facilitated the bonding of the group. Very knowledgeable and always willing to share & respond to questions - Fabio the driver also deserves a shout out for his care and his assistance.
