It was a really good way of getting a flavour of the Dalmatian coast and Croatia without the hassle of researching and organising it myself.
I had no idea how lovely Dubrovnik is - until I got there.
The group leader was an experienced and well-informed guide who never imposed but was always there when I needed information or help. He also had a good sense of humour!
It is helpful to know that the season in these parts doesn't begin till May. In April you will miss the crowds but lots of the restaurants and tourist attractions are closed.
A Brilliant holiday , well organised and with good accomodation. We stayed in two really amazing places and the rest of the accomodation was good. The holiday has a lot of riding and is low on bus transfers. We visited lots of temples, a tea factory and wild life park and all added to the experience.
The most amazing day was the ride through the tea plantations, the sun was shining , the women were out picking the tea and the whole area looked perfectley manicured. There were also some numerous undulations which made a great ride.
Peter the leader was absolutely great. Our trip was the second one run and he was continually tweeking and asking for feedback.
It Can be very hot for the April/May departure, a camelbak is usefiul to keep hydrated. If you feel you might be suffering from het exhaustion don't be afraid to use the airconditioned bus.Using hand gel before eating and for after loo stops wise. We had no serious stomach problems despite all the roadside snacks we sampled.Lots to photograph on the way so a camera that fits in the pocket is much more useful than a SLR ATM,s were a bit haphazard and sometimes it was necessary to try three before getting any money. Probably useful to have some hard currency just in case. In Kochi the palace and symague are closed Friday /Saturday so if you want to visit go Thursday, when you arrive.
A superb walking holiday, with great daily walks – and a brilliant guide!
It's difficult to say one inspirational moment. I think it was all of the walks, each dealing with varied terrain - but, always led by Alvaro, a guide that couldn't be better.
Superb! Alvaro really loves the Picos de Europa; he knows a lot about the area and was always happy to share his excellent knowledge of local flora and fauna. Also, he had a very good sense of humour so there were a lot of laughs!
Going in late March can result in inclement weather. It was forecast to be wet all week, on and off. However, we did have 4 excellent, mainly dry (and quite warm) walking days. Our 'day off' in Llanes was very wet - and our last walking day - lots of snow! Potential travellers should be aware that walks are not always as advertised; they have to change due to weather, particularly early or late in the season. The optional activities for the day off may change, too, according to the weather - for example, our only (and preferred) option was a day trip to Llanes on the coast. If you are likely to get travel sick, avoid the back row of the minibus - the winding mountain roads are likely to bring on nausea if you are susceptible.
A really fantastic trip in so many ways. Although only a week we packed so much into it that it felt like longer! It truly provided a great taste of Cuba.
Every day there were inspirational moments - the beautiful Vinales valley, swimming in the Bay of Pigs, the stunning architecture in Cienfuegos, Trinidad and Havana, our guide reading a letter from Che to Fidel as we drove to Santa Clara to visit Che's mausoleum - just to mention a few. And of course the dancing (which we participated in!) and music everywhere we went!
Our guide, Tony, was also inspirational. The perfect combination of professionalism and great fun. He was always willing to organize any extras for us and shared so much knowledge about his wonderful country.Our driver, Alex, also deserves a mention. Not only was his driving excellent but also his salsa dancing!
Change more money at the airport than you think you'll need. I certainly managed to spend a lot. Perhaps it was all the mojitos!
After the cold UK weather an ideal break at this time of year, warm and mostly sunny, a mix of pleasant walks, fine food, a touch of sightseeing and not too crowded this early in the season.
The stunning walk from Fira to Oia on Santorini, dazzling ever changing views of the caldera, finishing with the while marble streets of Oia.
Well organised, knowledgeable, easy going, delightfull company.
Certainly this year in early April a light jacket for the evenings was useful.
A great trip taking in some fantastic and ever changing scenery along largely very quiet roads. Not only do you get to experience the hustle and bustle of Marrakech’s bazaars but you get to cycle the through towns and villages that few tourists ever see. A great leader and a great group.

A great leader
Go for it!
This was an amazing introduction to the variety that is Vietnam – every day had its special memories so it is impossible to identify a single highlight. The guide, Chinh, was brilliant and his passion for his own country was contagious. The peoples of Vietnam must surely be the most charming, friendly, smiling and laughter-filled peoples in the world!
As is obvious from the above, picking out one individual memory above all others is impossible. Should it be the Marble Mountain Pagoda? The homestay and preparing (or at least attempting to be of some help with our efforts) the evening meal, the war museum in HCM City, or the ready laughter and good humour of the Hanoi shop keeper as my wife attempted to haggle a bargain price? Or the Cu Chi Tunnels, Halong Bay, the overnight train from Hanoi to Hue, the ...? I can't choose.
Absolutely excellent in every regard. He was instrumental in creating this memorable holiday and a large factor in so many of the warm memories we carry from it.
Pack light. Buy any extra clothing you need when in the country. You'll be glad you left room in the case for your purchases. And don't be put off by accounts of the traffic and road-crossing experience. It's actually quite exhilerating.
Very relaxing family trip
Enjoyed Pompeii and the beautiful villages on the Amalfi coast. The walk of the Gods was fantastic too.
Excellent
Travel sickness pills/bands for boats and windy roads.
Beautiful villages to explore with spectacular views and a hotel right on the beach – what more could you ask for?!
Realising our hotel was overlooking the sea. It was wonderful to be able to walk from the hotel and stroll along the promenade whenever I wanted. It was also fantastic to finally see the sun!
Stephanie is a superb leader, extremely knowledgeable and experienced, we all felt very lucky to have her as our guide. Her English is brilliant but she is very happy to chat in French for those who wish to practise their language skills.
There is lots to see and do in Menton, several of our group visited the Jean Cocteau museum and reported back that it was great. There is also a fantastic food market and limoncello shop so leave room in your case if you want to take some treats home.
Fantastic holiday – we did 5 walks that were all between 8-16km (with one day off in beautiful Funchal), and these are, IMO correctly graded as "Moderate". They which were challenging enough so you’d feel sufficiently tired and like you’ve accomplished something by the end of the day, but not too hard, so you don’t need to be an experienced mountain climber to cope. Our group got along really well, and the weather was perfect for walking – sunshine on most days, 20 degrees and a warm breeze. A success all round!
Watching the sun come up at the top of the mountains. We were above the clouds - magical!
Our guide was superb – a local who had grown up on the island, and who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about its beautiful landscape, nature and culture. Everything was extremely well organised, our guide looked very well after us (both in terms of safety and general advice on where to eat, shop etc.). Friendly, funny and very patient. A real credit to Exodus.
April/May seems a good time to visit - not too hot for walking and lots of flowers and plants in bloom. Madeira is still a bit of an unknown in tourism, so not too overrun. Do bring a swimsuit even in April - even though it was only 19 degrees, the humidity meant that it felt warm enough to go for a swim!
