Ancient Egypt & Nile Cruise
Trip was well managed, accommodation met expectations, nice group of people, superb guide, knowledgeable and organised.?
A fantastic country to visit
Colombia is the second most bio-diverse country in the world behind Brazil. The landscape is truly breath-taking. Hilly / mountainous and very green and lush. A bit like New Zealand only with lots more trees, really beautiful. We felt safe the entire time, it’s reputation for being a “dodgy place” is no longer justified, the days of drugs and violence are in the past.
Most Inspirational Moment
Many things. The Tatacoa desert (not strictly a desert) is an amazing landscape, the likes of which I have never seen before. Also really loved Communa 13 in Medellin and Cartgena.

Advice for Potential Travellers
Book it, you won't be disappointed. Be sure to take binoculars, there are so many birds here!
Discover Morocco
I really enjoyed the tour and seeing Morocco this way. Long days on the bus, but so worth it to take in the sights and scenery along the way. Exceptional guide and the logistics are handled extremely well. We were able to enjoy the trip knowing that all of the small details were taken care of.
Most Inspirational Moment
Marrakesh was amazing and the Sahara was beautiful. The final stop in Ouirgane was beautiful and a relaxing way to close out the trip.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ayoub was really amazing. He led us with 100% professionalism and was extremely kind and knowledgeable. The Ramadan holiday must have been quite challenging for him to be energetic and present for the first 6 days, but he was doing a great job at all times. This group had a huge age range and he managed the 20 to 80 year olds with great ease.
Vietnam Adventure
Thuong, our guide in Vietnam was excellent and truly the highlight of the whole experience. She was extremely knowledgble and exelled in imparting us with her personal experiences to help us learn more about the Vientnamese culture and history. Her ability to keep a lively crowd interested and engaged demonstrates excellent emotional intelligence. The trip explored a complex country from North to South, giving ample opportunities for each individual to tailor the trip to each individual need (some were interested in more physical acitivites while others prefered to a more peaceful time), We experienced the various means of transport in Vietnam: van, train, boats, canoes, bikes, and in some case rickshaws).
Most Inspirational Moment
As note, meeting our guide - Thuong, She really was the highlight of the trip. As were the other travelers. There was a great sense of comraderie, in large part by our guide. Of the locations, I ready enjoyed the unique beauty of Ha Long Bay as well as the quaintness (when there fewer tourists) of Hoi An. And of course, the amazing food in Vietnam - the variety, regional diversity and specializations. It's all good!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Thuong was truly the best part of this wonderful experience. Her knowledge of history and culture was presented in such a charming and thoughtful manner. She shared individual stories about her and her family to help the group understand the cultural diversity and history of Vietnam. She provided ample and thorough food and activity options. Responding quickly and accurately to questions about the various options in towns, helping us to individualize the trip to our own needs and abilities.

Thoughts on Group Leader
Mohamed was a very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful guide. We all liked him.
Highlights of Kerala
The trip had just the right mix of cultural experiences & free time. Our guide, Biju, made the trip. His knowledge, story telling, help & advice meant we felt safe & supported, and could concentrate on just enjoying the tour. Without him it wouldn’t have been as good.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking safari in Periyar, public laundry in Kochin, fish market in Kovalam, the hills in Thekkady, the houseboat tour, weighing the babies in the snake temple, cooking with the family.... and all the unexpected moments- religious celebrations in the street, local children, the meals, the sunsets, the bonding as a group.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The success of the trip was entirely down to Biju. He was organised & clearly communicated the itinerary each day. He helped answer questions, solve issues & pre-empted our needs. He made sure the activities were enjoyable for all 4 people on the trip, catering to different abilities & interests with care & humour. His stories & cultural knowledge really bought the places to life & gave us a unique insight into the life of the local people. I would highly recommend him as a tour leader.

Egypt: Alexandria to Aswan
I just returned from Egypt and it was one of the best trips of my life. Mohamad Shabaan, our guide, was excellent. His love for Egypt is evident and he shared his passion with us. The shear number and impressive extent of temples, tombs and sites visited were incredible. What a heritage Egypt possesses; it was a life long dream to see the pyramids and the country. My 12 fellow travelers were the coolest people in the world: Brits! Love the trip and will be recommending it to everyone.
Most Inspirational Moment
The GEM, the pyramids, Abu Simbel, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak and the many other sites. A surprise highlight was the Natural Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), with the mommies. A treat for anyone who appreciates what the Egyptian culture has brought to humanity.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The passion and love of Egypt was evident in Mohamad and was contagious with the whole group. A very jovial person, Mohamad improved the trip immensely.

Egypt: Alexandria to Aswan
The overall experience from our trip was excellent and surpassed our expectations. In particular our guide, Mohamed, was superb, we felt well looked after by Exodus in every town and the quality of the hotels surpassed our expectations.
Most Inspirational Moment
Cairo: The GEM and Pyramids - worth visiting Egypt just to see these! Alexandria: The Metropole Hotel - a special place to stay despite the extreme traffic noise, and we enjoyed wandering around the night market on our free evening. Aswan: the visit to the Nubian house and Elephantie Island and lunch on the Felucca (even though it could sail due to the high winds); Abu Simbel & Philae Temple.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We cannot praise Mohamed highly enough. He gave 150% to the group; he was always on time, friendly and open to our comments. We were particularly impressed by his energy and good humour as he was observing Ramadan for most of our trip which can't have been easy, especially with several of the group wanting coffees (his favourite drink) at every opportunity! We will be recommending him to any friends wanting to visit Egypt.
