Mont Blanc Highlights
Put simply, one of the best holidays I have ever been on! I cannot recommend this trip enough as a complete de-stressing and uplifting break away. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful and the walks (although a bit shorter than I had imagined!) let you see some of the highlights of this stunning area. The chalet is a good size for relaxing in the evenings – and the hot tub is a nice extra feature (we had it seating 8 of us). The afternoon tea and delicious evening meals prepared by Rich and Sarah also truly make this holiday something very special. I fully recommend this trip to others.
Most Inspirational Moment
I enjoyed all the walks but in particular the Aguiles Rouges and Aguilettes de Houges were for me the most breathtaking views. These walks were around the 2.5-4 hour mark of walking with some steep sections but plenty of breaks,a nice lunch stop and time to take in the scenery made the day longer. Other than our group, we barely saw any other people at Aguilettes de Houges which was very special.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Bring a sunhat!

Walking in Sardinia
We had a super time on this holiday. Sardinia is a beautiful island, the walking was very enjoyable and the hotel used was perfect for this trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
Arriving in Dorgali to find a 2 day festival taking place. It was a joy to behold.
Also, walking to Tiscali high in the mountains and discovering this ancient place.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Alexis is an excellent leader. He guided us with great care, fun, expertise and consideration for all.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take walking poles as they can be very useful on the stony paths.
Be prepared for all weathers.

Cycling in Greece
All accommodations were excellent
Bikes were in good condition, two flat tires reported the entire trip.
Some group members thought they were to heavy.
Snacks and meals were delicious, a good selection of Greek foods.
Side excursions good as well
Most Inspirational Moment
Personally I loved Poros island, the dinner we had on the seafront, with the sunset, and our toes in the sand❤️
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide was great (Niovi), she was always smiling and cheerful, she was able to turn us into a relaxed cohesive group.
We had lots of laughs.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be aware of the climate when you are planning to travel. Our trip was mid September and we rode in temperatures in the mid 30C.

Siena cycle trip review
organised and well supported cycle trip through beautiful tuscan countryside with visits to Florence and siena.
Most Inspirational Moment
Not one specific thing but generally enjoyed the challenge of the cycling with a nice group of people coupled with the rewards of the beautiful scenery, plus nice food and wine.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Both group leaders were professional, organised, and supportive of individuals and the needs of the whole group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This tour is on the harder side of moderate rating taking in to account the height gain coupled with the heat at certain times of the year. Travellers will need a good level of fitness for this tour to complete the hill sections.

Disappointing
Having travelled with Exodus before, I was looking forward to this trip. However, although the scenery was spectacular and the hiking was enjoyable, Exodus was disappointing and if I went again I would do the trip with someone else. Some of the accommodation was very poor, being smelly and dirty. The leader’s time management and communication was also poor, with some days having a very long period between breakfast (7am) and lunch (3pm) with no advance warning, no snacks provided and limited water provided.
Most Inspirational Moment
The views from the wall when we were out in the wilderness.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Definitely not the best tour leader I have had.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't do this trip with Exodus.

Mont Blanc seen from all angles
Each day we walked, trekked, and climbed up a different mountain to get a view of Mont Blanc. Some breathtaking views and we were incredibly lucky with the weather, only one cloudy day the rest was sunny and great. We stopped at chalet Chamonix and our hosts were Sarah and Richard. The itinerary said “dinner provided”, but what it didn’t tell us was that Sarah and Richard prepared a magnificent meal for us each evening, themed from different countries they had visited. It was excellent.
Our guide was Shaun Rhodes and his personality and knowledge made each day on the mountain great. He was laid back but still kept us on time, and I enjoyed my chats with him
Thanks to Shaun Sarah and Richard for making it a truly enjoyable week.

Fantastic Trip
It says it’s challenging and it is – but the effort is worth it. The scenery is fantastic – at times it felt like “cycling through a postcard”… hard climbs and fun descents. The food is great – really fresh and vibrant; lots of good fish, local vegetables, cheese and meat – delicious and plenty of it! An interesting and beautiful country – I’d definitely recommend it – if you are up for some long steady climbing!
Most Inspirational Moment
Getting to the top of the long climb on the last day (even tho I wimped out of the first part of it...) it was still long and amazing views.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The leader was organised, efficient and friendly.
Advice for Potential Travellers
get some hill practice in before you go.

A great cycling holiday
This is a wonderful trip through beautiful and historic villages, town and the cities of Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest. And a beautiful countryside between vineyard, sunflower fields and a peacefull forrest. Our guides Dana and Peter was excellent. Great humor, knowledgeable, friendly and a rock on the bike.
Most Inspirational Moment
The visit to the wine cave. A very fun evening with tasted of many good wines.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Dana, Peter and our driver was very good and professional.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take this trip if you have any interest in central/eastern Europe. The countries have undergone a fantastic development after the cold war and the fall of communism.
