Our trip met and exceeded all our expectations. The area was wonderful, and the itinerary was really well designed. The transfers were all very well organised in clean and safe vehicles with experienced local drivers. Most importantly, the tour guide was highly competent and experienced. He made the trip a huge success.
Most Inspirational Moment
Too many to mention. The first day's walk over the viaduct. The stay in Matera. The stay and walks from the Masseria in Puglia. The friends we made.
Thoughts on Group Leader
An outstanding group leader. Highly knowledgeable and a great communicator. Passionate about conveying the history of the regions. Very caring and respectful of the group. And excellent organiser. And a great sense of humour. We left very good friends. We would love to do another tour with Gabrielle. He's a great ambassador for Exodus.
The sandstone cliffs in Latvia, fascinating. Views of Riga from Hotel Island, and unexpectedly travelling with the Estonian Prime Minister.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Andrius was excellent, knowledgeable, great company, well organised and caring. He dealt very well , and diplomatically with all situations
Advice for Potential Travellers
Try it, you'll enjoy and learn a lot about the troubled history of the baltics.

Pretty comprehensive tour of what Morocco has to offer
Excellent itinerary to see the best of Morocco in 2 weeks. Inevitably that means some longer days in the bus but always many stops at points of interest to keep your enthusiasm alive.
From walking in the High Atlas Mountains to a camel ride on the edge of the Sahara to bustling Marrakesh and Fez and surprisingly clean and lush Rabat, this trip has it all.
The ‘in comfort’ part of the tour title needs clarification- all have comfy beds with clean sheets but some accommodations struggle to provide hot water or even a decent shower curtain. Having said that, hotel/riad staff were all very pleasant and helpful as are the Moroccan people generally
Most Inspirational Moment
The hammam visit was particularly memorable and is not to be missed!
A sudden flash flood blocked our road to our hotel in the high Atlas Mountains with large boulders and debris but all car drivers and bus passengers helped clear what we could before the heavy machinery arrived to finish the job. No panic and everyone got on with it and the road was cleared in 30 mins- unimaginable in the UK!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Hamid was an absolute legend. We have been on many exodus trips and he was without doubt, the best guide we have ever had. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he could anticipate our needs without having to ask. He even arranged with hotels/riads in advance to avoid any delay for us on arrival. He is a real credit to Exodus
Advice for Potential Travellers
Just book the trip - you won’t regret it but don’t expect 4/5 star accommodation

Walking, sightseeing and swimming in North Cyprus
Fun week with a diverse group of like-minded people. Good balance between walking, sightseeing and relaxation. Good quality hotel with swimming pools and pleasant bar area.
Most Inspirational Moment
A few: views from hilltop castles, Roman ruins at Famagusta with excellent tour by our guide, swimming in the sea and/or pool after a day’s walking, fun with the group
Thoughts on Group Leader
Good, experienced and knowledgeable leader.
Advice for Potential Travellers
A bit more challenging than expected due to September heat. Could maybe go a little later in the season but while the hotel pools are still open. Trip notes are a bit out of date as regards costs of optional excursions and meals out.
This was an enjoyable trip. Nothing spectacular, but consistently pleasurable and interesting. Learning about the Bosnia’s past and current conditions from our guide, Boris, who lived through the Bosnian War, was fascinating. The landscapes of Bosnia were also appealing, especially that of Sutjeska National Park. Further, the lodgings were more than comfortable, with the exception of that in Sutjeska, which was, for lack of other options, a Soviet-era experience. The food was excellent, too. Lost no weight on this trip. The only serious hiking on the schedule was the climb of Maglic. Unfortunately, we were not able to do that because of heavy rain and lightning. Thus, I would rate the experience I had as moderate, rather than moderate-challenging. Finally, let me give a shoutout and thanks to the other clients on the trip, who greatly added to my enjoyment.
Most Inspirational Moment
I cannot think of a moment that I would call inspiring.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Boris, our group leader, was outstanding. He really made the trip. A Bosnian Serb and a journalist, he had extensive knowledge of the country's complex history which he related with clarity, candor and a nice sense of humor (in flawless English).
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you haven't been to Dubrovnik before, you might think about scheduling an extra day there before or after the planned itinerary. The city is well worth a full day's visit.
As an Exodus Employee, spending two weeks in Costa Rica getting to explore the country’s most beautiful and diverse sites was one of the most incredible adventures I have been on. The fact that all places are so unique and diverse from one another and getting to see incredible wildlife throughout the trip was fantastic.
Most Inspirational Moment
Getting to meet Aurora in the Copey Valley and learn about her family history of the farm and have an authentic interaction and share a meal with her.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Johnny Villalobos was unbelievable. His passion for conservation, social impact and this trip shows throughout every fibre of himself. He provided some incredible insight into the history, geography and sustainability of the country and just contributed to the overall brilliant trip itinerary!
Advice for Potential Travellers
This is a brilliant trip to go onto if you are a solo traveler or are traveling with a friend where you want to see the highlights of the country and have a love for wildlife of all shapes and sizes.
In addition to my earlier comments, I would add: Efficient transfer service and, most importantly, an extremely good, friendly, helpful, good English-speaking guide “Sebi”. Sebi (short for Sebastian, I believe) deserves a lot of praise – please ensure that he receives this feedback.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing twenty + bears when we went to the bear hide. Wonderful scenery. Sebi, the local guide. The other members of the trip.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was fantastic. Please ensure that he receives this feedback.
