I recently returned from the Belize Reef & Ruins trip, and it was an unforgettable experience. The incredible wildlife and the rich local history truly blew me away. Visiting the Mayan temples was a highlight, especially Lamanai, which felt very special. All of the sites being less crowded than expected, you could really immerse yourself and imagine how life might have been centuries ago.
I also want to commend our excellent guide, George. His deep knowledge and engaging storytelling brought the history and culture to life for our group, making the entire journey even more meaningful. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a mix of nature, history, and adventure.

We had a great 2 weeks in Saudi with guide Abdu, laughing and learning all the way. This small group was well traveled, many with Exodus. This was our 3rd Exodus trip, though we’ve traveled a lot independently. After Saudi we flew to Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar (where we “celebrated” our 100th country visited; we recommend adding these places for independent travel). But Saudi Arabia is big, complex and we were so happy to have a guide like Abdu to explain everything. We peppered him nonstop with questions and he was informed and forthcoming on any topic. Had we not toured with a guide and group we would have missed a lot. We never found the bus rides (or train rides) overly long or taxing and felt very safe even on some (gorgeous) winding mountain roads. We enjoyed every meal, hotels were very nice with comfy beds, etc. And the farm stay, sleeping pads on the floor, was fantastic. Don’t be put off by thinking it’s too rustic! During our travels we found infrastructure to be modern, clean and efficient, English spoken widely.

I’ve wanted to do this trip for over 20 years and it exceeded all my expectations. I did this trip with my 16 year old son in the long summer break after his GCSEs and it was the most perfect father-son time we’ve ever shared. The views are incredible, the air as clean as it comes and the team were just outstanding. Our guide, Wilmer, led the group expertly despite different walking speeds, and the porters were just humbling. This trip ticked every single one of my boxes and we look back on it with both the sense of achievement and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This was our first time with Exodus and we are already looking for our next trip. Essential Peru was an amazing adventure packed with sights, sounds, smells and experiences that would be hard to beat. We saw so much and experienced everything from thunder and rainbows at Machu Picchu , to haute cuisine, to historical sites, high mountain passes, thousand year old plants, vicunas, llamas, and alpacas, sailing on Lake Titicaca, staying with a family on Amantani Island, hiking, and condors.

The trip was a wonderful way to see some of Southern Africa, we enjoyed the safari’s and boat trips. We had wonderful accommodation across the whole itinerary. The people were very friendly and the food and wine along the way was of good quality and plentiful. The coastline is amazing and the weather in October was pleasant. Our group was small , but it meant we had the opportunity to get to know one another quite well. Our guide Marco was very knowledgeable and good company.
