DISCOVER COSTA RICA

A jam-packed fortnight filled from beginning to end with good company, new destinations and exciting wildlife. Not your typical holiday and certainly not many occasions for putting your feet up but definitely interesting, informative and thoroughly enjoyable.

Most Inspirational Moment

Our two nights in Tortuguero on the north Caribbean coast were wonderful. The boat trips, the cabins, the food, the beach and the turtles ... just perfect.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader was an absolute mine of information, always keen to provide us with the best experience possible of his country. Tricky questions were answered honestly, his manner open and friendly.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for the rain - there can be lots of it! A good waterproof poncho or jacket is a must, consider a decent umbrella and walking shoes. Sandals during the wet season are not suitable in every situation, boots can be a bit much.

PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI

An amazing trip. Great accommodation in the heart of the Masai Mara with excellent bush camp staff and wonderful food. Brilliant game watching led expertly by Paul and his team of very knowledgeable guides. A close connection to the wildlife and breathtaking photo-opportunities. And all done with sensitivity for the environment and respect for the local communities.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were so many but the single best moment was seeing a female leopard with her three cubs high in a tree and no more than ten yards away from our Landcruiser. This was followed no more than two hours later by a massive wildebeest crossing, one of natures great spectacles.

Thoughts on Group Leader

A very knowledgeable and highly expert wildlife guide during the day and a great raconteur during the evenings with a constant stream of highly amusing jokes and anecdotes. A larger than life character.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just sign up and enjoy a fabulous holiday. Once in the Mara the experience is faultless. Be prepared for periods of relative inactivity during the day, the wildlife does not perform to order, but on our trip there was always a spectacular sighting in the offing to maintain a high level of anticipation.

MOUNTAINS & VILLAGES OF EVIA

I didn't know quite what to expect never having been on an organised trip before and being a bit of a loner. However the holiday was amazing. Not only was the walking good, although I might have liked something a bit more strenuous, but the accommodation was just right with lovely views from our balcony room and our guide was wonderful, providing history and stories to enlarge our visual experiences. All in all it was a most satisfactory holiday which I am still thinking about long after my return. Thank you Exodus,

Most Inspirational Moment

Loved the Demosarios Gorge walk also swimming from a lovely bay.

Can't speak too highly of Thanos. Not only was he interesting and entertaining but also very dependable.

WALKING THE GREAT WALL

The itinery worked well never a dull moment. Everything went smoothly. Fantastic guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

We first entered the wall at Mutian Yu by walking up through the fields and trees from a small village. This was a great way to experience anticipation and then the wow factor.Leaving the restored wall and continuing onto the crumbling parts being taken over by nature and having long sections to ourselves, breath taking beauty of the scenery. Beyond Gubeiku toward Jinshinling a thundery sky bringing the mist to settle in the valleys and the wall peeking above with layer upon layer of purple peaks-magical!

Thoughts on Group Leader

A great big thankyou once more to Kevin Wang (Wang Shengrong) our local guide who was fun to be with and funny, patient and caring, informative and did his utmost to make everyones holiday special. Well done Kevin you succeeded in making my holiday memorable! The itinery worked well never a dull moment.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you are expecting some time to yourself theres not a lot."Shopping" opportunities are rushed alsoIf you like English style tea (ie. Tetley/Builders type) bring Teabags and powdered milk. However, Jasmine tea does grow on you! If you fear using the chop stick bring a spork but its mighty good fun getting to grips with them.The Chinese massage is almost torture, the Kungfu show a mixture of martial art demonstration, acrobatics and ballet dance to a story and music- fabulous and the opera exactly as I knew it would be an experience! Other members of our group that went to the Acrobatic show were well impressed. I would have gone to them all if I could have. You should try at least one.

SIERRA DE AITANA TREK

Fantastic views and you hardly see a soul on the walks. They are hard treks on rough paths and a fast pace is needed to complete the walks in the time. The food was excellent in all three places in which we stayed.

Most Inspirational Moment

* picking almonds and walnuts straight from the trees* views from the tops* rock formations

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was superb. Organisation was excellent in all aspects. His command of English and humour were fantastic. He was justifiably very proud of his area.

Advice for Potential Travellers

We think that it must be a hard grade B and you need to be fairly fit to keep up and enjoy the pace.Paths are rather rougher than many found in the Alps.

WALKING THE AMALFI COAST

A very enjoyable walking holiday with lots of interest from watchiing cookery demos to visiting a small cheese production factory. Walking was graded correctly.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the coastline from the top of gorges- a definite WOW factor!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Carung toughtful and very well prepared for all eventualities!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Must like walking down many steps on a hot day! Walk to Amalfi has many steps.

DUBROVNIK & THE DALMATIAN COAST

A warm welcome greeted us at the airport by our fantastic tour leader Sanja Reiter. I knew from the beginning that the trip was to be a fun and informative one. First stop was the UNESCO pretty town of Trogir, from there we took in the sights and sounds of Split, Korcula (great island and do try the vino from the region), Mjat and the gem of a city Dubrovnik. The optional day trip to Mostar in Bosnia did prove quite a contast but an important one to see.

Most Inspirational Moment

Our tour of Dubrovnik was very interesting and sad in some respects based on the recount of the destruction of Dubrovnik during the homeland war. It was inspirational to see how both the city was rebuilt and also how the tourist trade is again flourishing.

Thoughts on Group Leader

One of the best tour leaders around I would say. Sanja is a treat to meet, full of fun, pertinent information, she worked well with all members of the group who ranged in age from 70 to 32. What struck me most about Sanja is her conscientous nature and love of her country, people, song and culture. Exodus travellers you are in for a treat if you travel with Sanja.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The holiday is not too active, it blends a few good walks with plenty of relaxation time. My tour went in October, which was a lovely time of year to travel in, the hot months of July and August might not be best time to travel.

CYCLING THE DALMATIAN COAST

Best Exodus cycling trip so far, Brilliant rep in Ana, beautiful country, outstanding views, great group of like minded people. Would recommend this trip as a must on anyones ‘wish list.’ Just loved the whole experience cycling in sunshine with my daughter and new group of friends.

Most Inspirational Moment

Boat trip to Mljet and cycling around the lakes plus swimming in beautiful crystal waters. Lunching on fresh mussels over looking the lake.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ana was amazing, strong, fit and just a wonderful personality. Made the trip for us. Local knowledge re the rides and local resturants. Very confident and organised. 10 out of 10 for her enthusiam.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I am a mature lady and just cycle for pleasure, you just need a reasonable level of fitness and confidence on the bike. This trip is just the most amazing way to see Croatia.

DISCOVER COSTA RICA

What a fantastic trip to a country with such diverse habitats, wonderful birds and mammals. Providing the opportunity to experience coast, mountains, cloud and rain forest, which although wet was at least warm!

Most Inspirational Moment

Difficult to highlight one in particular as there were so many, but perhaps the two that stand out the most are Tortugeuro beacuse of its natural beauty, peace and tranquility as well as the abundant wildlife and the cloud forest at Savegre looking for the elusive Quetzal among other things.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Gustavo our guide was excellent. He spoke very good English and had an in depth knowledge of the very different areas that we visited. He was also a very good spotter of wild life and had a broad knlwledge of plants, birds and animals. Orlando our driver was also excellent, spotting our first Sloth up a tree on the roadside, truly incredible as we all got out of our minbus and spent quite a few moments before we could identify where it was.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take a small collapsible umbrella for the rains and be prepared for your clothing to feel almost constantly damp during 'the green season' due to the high hunidity. Other than that, don't spend too long thinking about it, book it and go! What an experience.
