A WEEK IN JORDAN
A well planned week to make the most of the time we had in Jordan to do & see as much as possible. A great guide who looked after us all brilliantly. Good variety & great fun.
Most Inspirational Moment
The night in the desert with the Bedouins is a great experience & very different.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The leader looked after us all with care, consideration & patience. Khaled is passionate about his country & generous with his knowledge.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Go check out Jordan. Petra is brilliant and the trip offers so much more too.
CYCLE KERALA & TROPICAL INDIA
Way beyond my expectations, the trip just got better every single day, very well organized with some great cycling. Had done a previous cycle trip through another company and Exodus way surpassed in every aspect. It was adventurous, fun, action packed, a gastronomic delight just everything you would want out of a cycling trip and more. Thanks Exodus
Most Inspirational Moment
Getting to top of Ooty Hill. The amazing descent, back streets of Kerala, the many smiling faces along the way. The houseboat. Just too many to mention
Thoughts on Group Leader
Nice relaxed well organized, loved the driver he was very warm friendly and helpful. Also the guy sweeping at the back was very informative
Advice for Potential Travellers
I took my own pedals and saddle was maybe more comfy
DISCOVER SRI LANKA
One of the best experiences of my life. It’s very hectic, but worth it. A beautiful country and a wonderful tour guide.
Most Inspirational Moment
Riding an elephant. The guides are amazing, and really go out of their way for you to enjoy the trip. The elephants are beautiful and clearly well loved.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leader was amazing. Very informative and very funny. Kept the group together and went out of his way to ensure a great time.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be aware of how active the holiday is. It isn't restful, but it is beautiful. You see so much.Climb Adam's Peak if you get chance, but it is hard work.
CYCLING CUBA
A great introduction to Cuba, away from the beach resorts. The cycling is easy and the general arrangements were very good. Good hire bikes. On the down side the Havana hotel (Occidental Miramar) is truelly awful and should be replaced with something much smaller and much more central. The group size of 16 is too large, suggest limit to say 8 people (I realise this could increase costs but the benefits would be well worth it.)
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting the smaller town en-route. These are a real joy with something of the way of cuban life accessible.Some great music and dancing that was not just a show for the tourists.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very good (refering to Hose, the local leader who accommpanied the trip throughout). Clearly passionate about Cuba and really knew his facts. Very jovial and enjoyable company. He did show a few signs of fatique and maybe he is being overworked with so many back-to-back trips. This will inevitably reflect upon performance in due course.No idea of the purpose of the Havana tour rep. Lucy. Whilst pleasant enough she was not at all necessary as far as I could see.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Find your own resturants/bars/music etc. rather than just follow the leader or the whole group. There are very many to choose from, Cuba is easy to get around and safe, so just go for it.Carry some loo roll. Many toilets dont have any.Be prepared for a few failures eg power, menu options etc. Nothing serious however.Learn some basics of Spanish and Salsa dancing if you need to.They use a lot of rum in the cocktails so beware.
CYCLING CUBA
If you think you might enjoy this trip – you will. Cuba, cycling, cocktails, Che, camaraderie. If possible, go before the Castro brothers are out of the picture.
Most Inspirational Moment
Difficult to pick one, but maybe it was the arrival en masse at the beautifully located hotel that awaited us at the end of the last day's cycling with everyone in the highest of spirits.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ramon worked ceaselessly on our behalf. Jose-Luis was a permanent ray of sunshine. Tomas was totally reliable and a very careful driver. The crew are an integral and very important part of the whole experience.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Just go and enjoy it.
FINNISH WILDERNESS WEEK
A great trip with varied activities each day and the opportunity to use the equipment in the spare time, meant no time for boredom. This along with the fresh air and great, constantly changing scenery, due to the weather, led to total enjoyment
Most Inspirational Moment
Without doubt the best moment for me was the Husky sledging, lovely sunny day, great scenery and dogs who looked like they were having a great time.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Martti was keen and always helpful and always had plenty of willing and able colleagues to assist when required
Advice for Potential Travellers
They really do supply all the winter clothes you require, a change for a relaxing evening is all you need to take. Always able to slip the winter gear over this if the Northern lights make their appearance
CYCLING CUBA
I’m not a keen cyclist but thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience . the only way to see the real Cuba . It would have been better if they’d cut out some of the boring long flat straight days against wind & done more in the central & east Cuba which is far prettier & interesting . More east to west would have avoided the prevailing [ & strong ] winds too .
Most Inspirational Moment
Cycling in the Sierra Maestra [ day 9 ] . Quoted by exodus as being the toughest day but no worse than some of the others & far more enjoyable due to scenery & hills .
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ramon was excellent in every way . i've been on a few exodus trips now & he was up there with the best .
Advice for Potential Travellers
I'm not an enthusiastic cyclist so found 65km against the wind & in 32c tough going but don't feel bad about jumping in the bus for the last few klms !
MARRAKECH & THE SAHARA
A great introduction to Morocco with a fantastic group of fellow travellers!
Most Inspirational Moment
I appreciated the contrasting landscapes -- rocky, desolate desert --> stunning mountains --> the buzz of Marrakech's medina.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mohammed found a good balance of guiding and letting us take things in on our own.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Prepare for some long days of driving, especially in the beginning. The upside is that you'll gain an appreciation for desert life.The desert camp and mountain gite were more luxurious that we anticipated. My husband and I were almost disappointed to find ourselves in a private room with access to Western-style toilets!When you arrive in Marrakech, hop a taxi and have dinner in the Medina. We ate near our hotel which I regretted after visiting the Medina the following night - the buzz is amazing! And try a hammam!
MARRAKECH & THE SAHARA
I had a fantastic holiday. The programme of events were tremedously varied allowing you to get a good insight into the country. The tour guide and group of travellers were also excellent
Most Inspirational Moment
I enjoyed the sahara by night experience and also the atlas mountain climb
Thoughts on Group Leader
The guide was vey informative and an excellent guide. The trip notes were also very imformative and help prepare you for the trip
Advice for Potential Travellers
The holiday really gives you an experience of some of the key highlights of morrocco. Some days are long and the coach transfer are long on occasions. However you get a great experience of the culture food and people of morrocco. The sahara experience was excellent however the overnight accomodation was slightly more sophisicated than maybe published. I would really reccommend this holiday
