It was a fantastic holiday, the guides were excellent, and the holiday was organized very well.It was just a excellent experience from start to finish.
I thought the trek was going to be the best but it was the whole experience, not one thing.
I have nothing but praise for him, he did a first class job.
Get 97% det in the mosquito repellent.
I cannot believe how much i saw of China and the culture in 3 weeks, amazing.
The Great Wall was amazing and travelling 4 hours to see it in a place where there were not so many tourists (hardly saw another tourist at all) was more than worth the time it took to get there.
I cannot say enough good about her, she was brilliant. She was informative about the culture and people of China, if we needed anything she helped us get it. She was fun, friendly, interesting and a genunely nice person to be with. She made sure we were booked into sleeper berths together and any issues we had she resolved, not that i can remember there being many. We were called Emma's family and she certainly made us feel like a family. I needed help with 2 personal things (one of which was getting a set of false nails fitted the day before i came home, vain i know) she helped me find a beautician who could do it for me, expained my needs and waited for me whilst they were done, really girlie time, great.
You need a sleeping bag liner for the 3rd overnight sleeper train, i would take a mosquito thingymagig for the hotel rooms but i would not bother with a mosquito net. I packed far too much - for the time of the year I went Sept/Oct some shorts and strappy t-shirts were all that were needed for the days, we did not really dress up at night, so jeans, light weight trousers etc., but i would say no high heels (streets are a bit uneven). A fleece and lightweight waterproof jacket is also must. Lemsip as well, lots of our group caught colds. A kindle to pass the time on some of the journeys between sites is also something i used a lot. A packet of baby wipes, squat toilets take some getting used to especially on a moving train.
A really enjoyable trip. Fascinating cultural experiences in the tribes, spectacular and relaxing Halong Bay, the madness of Hanoi, and the sights of the rest of Vietnam. A couple of days of trekking, but more walking after that. Still tiring due to the heat/humidity, early starts and some long bus rides. Well worth the experience.
The hiking through the hills out from Mai Chau was great even though it was incredibly hot. Very interesting visiting the tribes and hearing their stories. Also the boat trip in Halong Bay - the seafood dinner, the kayaking, the swimming, the relaxing on the ship's deck, the scenery. Awesome. Cu Chi tunnels. Really interesting while also a little freaky experience.
Linh was great. Organised us really well, and looked after us well with pointing out good restaurants etc when going to be on our own, and taking us to really good restaurants when with him. We ate REALLY well! Was really informative, explained a lot about how the hill tribe people live and their past etc. Ended up telling the same things a couple of times, and sometimes would go off on a tangent, turning a piece on the pagoda etc we were at into a long winded story of his childhood. But mostly told good stuff. Is a little quirky, which made it entertaining with some of his songs. Has a lot of character, which has left us with a great memories to retell amongst group members. Overall, Linh was really great value.
Take a light weight jacket with you in case it rains at any moment (even though it'll likely only be brief). Say so at the beginning if you don't like fish (or anything for that matter), you'll get well catered for with other food for you. A few people on our trip didn't say so until halfway through, after a number of entrees and meals with fish, so didn't eat as much those times.
This is an outstanding trip – from the quality of the hotels, variety of the experience, and country you are travelling through I simply cant recommend it highly enough.
For me the best moments came after the longest days in the saddle. I loved the feeling of achievement after a long hill climb. The down hill runs afterwards were great fun too!
Our group leader was an absolute star. Knowledgeable, approachable, and a can do attitude were everything your could have wanted or expected from someone leading the tour. I'd add that the conduc of the three support staff who were on the trip we similarly noteworthy.
It sounds an obvious thing to say but this is a trip for people who have good fitness. If you dont, you wont enjoy it.
Thankyou Exodus for another wonderful trip. I travelled to Sri Lanka 7 years ago a few months after the Tsunami. I had an amazing and emotional trip that time and wondered if the 2nd trip would be as good? I need not have worried. Sri Lanka is a beautiful island with a very varied landscape.
The most inspirational part of the trip was seeing how the people of Sri Lanka have carried on with their lives since the Tsunami. It was wonderful to see the fishing boats back in the bays.I was also inspired by the rest of the group. Its wonderful to be with such a mixed age group and to experience the activities together.
I was lucky enough to have Roshan again as the leader of the group. He truly loves, and is proud of his country. He is so knowledgeable about all aspects of Sri Lanka, its culture, its history and its people. He cares about the people in the group and demonstrated this continuously. Nothing was too much trouble. He has a great sense of humour and made the trip fun.
Enjoy every minute of the trip and listen to the guide. Take plenty of mosquito repellent.Think twice before taking travellers cheques. They are difficult to change.
Wow, it is a must to do this trip. Not only is the scenery really great, the weather in October was also fantastic. Michele and Enrico were the most hospitable hosts, knowledgeable and a lot of fun to be with. We had some amazing food, stayed in great places that were clean. We slept like champs each night after cycling. I’m a road cyclist and found the hills challenging but I will say that if you ride often, you will find this fun and challenging and easy on the flat days.
Enrico's picnics! They were made with love. The weather! But the hosts were awesome - Michele and Enrico.
Make sure you practice some hills before you come. Have an open-mind about the day - some long days but enjoyable, some shorter days. Bring a bathing suit as you will be in the beach almost every day. Just enjoy and relax. There is WiFi at every hotel, but take a break from the news and have a vacation.
This trip easily achieves the claims made in the overview’s description: beautiful landscapes, enthralling historical sites and outstanding food. There are some interesting cycling routes which include a few hills but you’re allowed to get up them in your own time and they provide some magnificent sights and fun downhill runs follow your effort.
If you have the least interest in classical history and culture or enjoy spectacular Mediterranean seascapes you will find this holiday inspirational. Some of my highlights include: glimpses of the Acropolis as one cycles through Athens in the morning, the bike ride to the sanctuary of Hera at Melagavi, the home-cooked food at Mycenae, but every day provided more than one unforgettable high point and each evening the pleasure and enjoyment of good company.
Christiana and Christos are excellent hosts for their country and great companions on the road and in the relaxed evenings. Christiana is very knowledgeable about the classical sites we visited and also a great guide to the gourmet events which were dinner every night. Christiana can teach you to dance (in the spirit of Zorba) too.
If you can manage it and you haven’t been there before: a couple of extra days in Athens are worthwhile. There’s obviously much to see and it’s a very lively city. And did I mention that the food and wine is plentiful, inexpensive and good?
This was my frst trip with exodus and it was brilliant. The walks took us up mountains, downs valleys, through forests and into the stunning towns of Amalfi and Positano. I managed to find plenty of time to chat and take photos while walking. I’d recommend it to anyone who likes to go walking.
Floating in the warm sea at Amalfi looking up at the town. The view from the top of Vesuvius. The moon shining brightly over the twinkling lights of the bay at Ravello. My favorite walks were The Walk of the Gods and the Valle de Ferriere NP walk.
Our group leader Jo was friendly and approachable. Jo explained what each day would entail and what we would need to take with us on our walks. She helped us to arrange excursions outside of the itinery for our free day or if people wanted a break from walking and was good company all week. Our guide for Pompeii was excellent and helped to put over the story of the people who lived there.
Book it and go, you will have a great time !! I went at the end of August which was very hot. Walking in 35 degrees is something I have never experienced before, however I still did all of the walks and loved it. I get travel sick so travel sickness bands or tablets are a good idea for the winding roads. Finally there really are a lot of steps!!
A wonderful mixture of visiting the Thimpu Festival, trekking in the Himalayas and sampling life in this fascinating country
Several. The festival for me was the highlight plus some of the views on the trek were stunning. Oh and the walk up to the Tiger Monastery and the Paro Dzong and oh yes the Druk Air flight back to Kathmandu with out of this world views of some of the tallest mountains in the world including Everest!!
Both Pasang and Dorji were absolutely wonderful. I have been on several of these group holidays and these guys are the best. I certainly haven't had better.
The trek from Paro to Thimpu goes to over 4,000 metres and is quite strenuous in places. Having said that though, all 16 of our group made it but take your time.
It really is difficult to put into words how fantastic this trip is. Vietnam is a perfect country to see on a bicyle and the trip massively exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was busy but I felt was just about right, so as we could see everything of interest. The country is jam packed with breathtakingly beautiful scenery, very friendly people, lovely food and an all round great atmosphere. Finding a holiday to top this is going to prove hugely challenging.
1. Young children rushing out onto the streets to greet and high five us as we're riding through the villages. As a group, we never got bored of this, even though it was a constant throughout the trip!2. Halong Bay is simply stunning.3. 30km cycle descent through breathtaking scenery.4. Hoi An was my favourite city and it was great to chill and have a relaxation day there.
Our group leader (Lam) was the loveliest bloke you're ever likely to meet! He totally got our sense of humour and as well as him, the drivers and mechanic were an integral part of our group.
Don't hesitate, just book onto this trip as soon as possible!
