This was one of the most spectacular walking holidays. The Dolomites are even more impressive in person, and walking among their jagged peaks gave me a real sense of adventure. I particularly enjoyed Tre Cime di Lavaredo and exploring Monte Piana. Hotel Adler provides a relaxing end to the day with excellent meals and a great drinks list.
All the best bits of hiking but without the rough and tumble! Gorgeous mountain scenery with both lush meadows and dramatic dolomiti peaks, picnic lunches, 10/10 views. Except this time its followed up with an Aperol Spritz in the village square in the afternoon sun to celebrate a day well spent. Then a quick swim and sauna in the beautiful hotel spa before you settle in for a four course dinner and appertivo in the wine cellar. The ultimate best of both worlds!
This was my wife and my third holiday with Exodus, and without a doubt it was our favourite. From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well organised. Our guide, Mark, was outstanding—knowledgeable, supportive, and especially encouraging when my wife felt nervous on some of the more challenging sections leading to the summits. Hotel Adler was fantastic. Our room was clean and comfortable, the food was fresh, plentiful, and delicious, and the staff were consistently polite, friendly, and professional throughout our stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this trip.

The highlight of the trip was reaching the summit of Dürrenstein, closely followed by the breathtaking Tre Cime and the stunning Lago di Braies. Another real highlight was the group itself. It was a pleasure to spend the week with such a friendly mix of people from different backgrounds and of varying ages. Although we were the youngest in the group, we never felt out of place.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mark was fantastic throughout the entire week. From the warm welcome at the airport on arrival to the support and encouragement he provided during the more challenging sections of the hikes, he consistently went above and beyond. He made a genuine effort to get to know everyone in the group, joining us in the evenings and taking the time to chat with each person throughout the day. His communication was always clear and informative, and he was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional at
The trip was well organised by our fatastic Guide Thom, and met the description outlined in the brochure.

Excellent communicator, knowledgeable, great fun with a sense of humour. Excellent time keeping. Concerned about how we are coping with some of the walks and adjust the pace accordingly with rest stops.

The big highlight was a sense of immersion in the mountains and the scenery. The hikes were brilliantly selected and guided to get maximum experience of the mountains. The hotel was fabulous and extremely comfortable to return to after hiking.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Thomas was very engaged with the group, had genuine passion for his local area and its history that he shared with enthusiasm. He was clearly technically a skilled hiker and we felt safe with his guidance. He was very skilled at leading a diverse group and generating a positive group dynamic. He gave a clear impression of having passion and commitment for his job.
We had a wonderful experience on our first hiking tour, The hikes were wonderful and our tour guide, Rob Mason, was amazing, very knowledgeable and attentive to the entire group. In addition, Hotel Adler staff and accommodations were excellent.

Seeing the Dolomites and meeting the people in the group and along the hikes.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Rob Mason is a phenomenal leader who ensured that we were prepared for the coming days activities by imparting details of what to expect and what would be needed to prepare us for success. In addition, his knowledge of the area, to include history, sites, monuments and nature, was amazing.
Organisation was great from booking through to the holiday throughout. The hotel was lovely, with comfortable rooms and excellent food. Our guide Anna was wonderful and the walks were all amazing.

I particularly liked the Monte Piano walk, which was the most challenging but they were all good.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Anna was very knowledgeable about the local area, geography, history, flora and fauna. She was enthusiastic, shared dinner with us in the evening and briefed us on what to expect from the next day's hike. When one lady slipped and suffered a minor cut on her leg she was quick to administer some first aid. Overall, she really helped to make this a fantastic trip.
Loved the hikes…views and Villabassa and surrounding areas were charming villages

Thoughts on Group Leader
She was great. Patient answering questions. When needed she took the lead to ensure the safety of the group. She was able to assess strength and weaknesses of individuals and accommodated. Overall she did a great job and I am grateful to have met her. Very interesting and honest individual.
The buses provided were comfortable, clean anddrivers drove safely on mountain roads.. I liked that Exodus included tipping of drivers and hotel staff into the price of vacation – unlike previous Exodus trips.
Most Inspirational Moment
In no particular order - Our 2 bedroom suite. Every hike was it's own highlight. Getting to know our group. Stiina., our guide
