A Week in Jordan
Great programme, excellent guide – Ibrahim. Exodus really put customer service first. From the first telephone call to being met at the airport and our amazing tour guide throughout the trip. The personal touch really makes a difference.
Cycling Puglia & Matera
Manni excellent leader – see later. Great place to visit and well thought out itinerary
Most Inspirational Moment
Multiple - places like the rock hotel and the trulli houses, lovely cycle routes through great countryside, the area and most importantly a great leader.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Manni was great - a gentle. careful and knowledgeable leader who was always willing to help, had an intimate knowledge of the region and was a great person!
The Silk Road
Variety of sights was very good. Our guides were exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable.
Most Inspirational Moment
The night in a yurt, scenery, the quality of food everywhere was unexpected, architecture and history (especially Uzbekistan).
Thoughts on Group Leader
Both Vitaliy and Dilshod were personable and helpful. Their knowledge was exceptional, and helped us understand their culture in a part of the world which I did not know. Sometimes the talks were a little bit long as there was a lot of information to take in.
Mont Blanc Hiking Highlights
Tim Stephens was a great tour leader, very professional and organised as well as very patient. It also helped that we had outstanding weather.
Most Inspirational Moment
The hiking was outstanding with good paths and routes and amazing views.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Great guy who was unassuming but always knew what needed to be done and communicate it well. His excellent photos were a bonus.
Perfect combination of walking and gardens
Mixed walks along the stunning French Riviera coastline coupled with visits to some of the most famous gardens in the region. Opportunity to learn about the history of the area and a must for garden lovers. Warm enough to swim in peaceful Med sea in October. Menton, the resort were stayed throughout our trip, retains the atmosphere of genteel aristocratic tourism. The Italian influence is strong as the town is just a few kilometres from the Italian border. Most of the restaurants serve Italian food.
Most Inspirational Moment
Every time we turned a corner to see another beautiful view of the Med, the coastline and the azure sky. The visit to the Ephrussi villa and garden owned by Beatrice Rothschild early last century with its 18th century interior and immaculate gardens with the sea on either side stood out.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Gee was amazing from start to finish - friendly, informed and very helpful with walking techniques. She always went the extra mile. For example, she joining our group every night for dinner even though the dinners were not part of the trip.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Just go! This is possibly the most beautiful of the 10 or so walking holidays I've been on in Southern Europe (not all with Exodus). Take your walking sticks and a good pair of walking boots. Part of one walk and the walk on the last day were down tricky rocky slopes which were too difficult for me and I think more difficult than the Level 2 of the trip. The guide arranged for those of us who didn't want to join the difficult walks a way back on the bus. This did not detract from my overall delight with the trip.

Wonderful trip!
The wild Algarve and its people are wonderful! The hikes along the high cliffs were truly gorgeous and inspiring. We love learning about the places we travel in, which is why we keep returning to Exodus for tours. The leaders made frequent stops along our walks to explain about geology, history and even the arts of the area, including why the music genre of Fado was so important during the rule of Portugal’s dictator (when we were looking at a town’s murals of a singer).
Most Inspirational Moment
Meeting the people of Portugal, especially all the interesting and talented crafts people and artists who are keeping important traditions alive.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Both Rafael and Francisco were awesome! They were always patient and supportive. Francisco took many opportunities to stop and explain about the geology, history or the arts of the area, asking 'why is this important?' which really engages the listener. We learned so much about Portugal!
Advice for Potential Travellers
We only had 1 day of rain but were very glad we were prepared with rain proof ponchos (be sure and check beforehand that your jacket is truly rain proof!). Be sure and train going up hills, there were some long climbs.
Jordan: Culture & Nature In Depth
We had an excellent guide, a superb group of like minded travellers, very satisfactory accommodation (as described in the literature) and an extensive programme. Every day and every location was spot on.
