Escorted Holidays

Our escorted tours offer unforgettable experiences for those seeking adventure and cultural discovery. From uncovering India’s cultural wonders with trips to the Taj Mahal to making the rewarding climb to the Everest Base Camp in Nepal, Exodus creates immersive journeys that cater to a wide variety of interests and abilities. Group sizes are intentionally kept small, ranging from 8 to 16 travellers, because smaller groups allow for a more personal experience and it ensures that we travel responsibly, and tread lightly in the places we visit. Smaller groups also foster a friendly dynamic, bringing together people from different backgrounds with a shared passion for travel. 

Every escorted holiday is led by one of our expert local guides who offer invaluable insights into the places you visit. They’ll reveal the stories behind the sights, introduce you to local customs and flavours, and take care of all the logistics—leaving you free to enjoy the adventure. 

If you’re looking for cultural immersion, Italy’s colourful Amalfi Coast and Hoi An’s lantern-lined streets in Vietnam are fantastic options, where rich history, delicious cuisine and warm hospitality await. For a once-in-a-lifetime walking adventure, why not trek the iconic Inca Trail through cloud forests and mountain passes before arriving at the world-renowned ancient citadel, Machu Picchu? Wildlife lovers can explore Costa Rica’s lush rainforests, zipline through jungle canopies, spot exotic animals like sloths and monkeys, and relax on pristine Pacific Coast beaches. Wherever you choose to go, our escorted holidays promise extraordinary experiences every time.

You’ll meet like-minded adventurers from all over who share your passion for travel, and our group sizes are small enough to make everyone feel included.

Each trip’s difficulty level is clearly marked on our site and in our brochures, so you can choose one that matches your comfort level and activity preference. We aim to offer adventures for everyone, so there’s a great range of trips depending on what you’re looking for. 

What should I pack for an escorted tour?

What you pack depends on your destination, the time of year you’re travelling in, and the activities planned for your trip. For most tours, we recommend lightweight, comfortable clothing suitable for a range of temperatures, durable walking shoes, a hat, a waterproof jacket, and essentials like sunscreen and a camera. If you’re unsure about what to bring, our trip notes will provide detailed packing lists based on your specific tour, ensuring you’re fully prepared to get the most out of your experience. 

How much free time is included in an escorted tour?

While our escorted tours are designed to maximise your time exploring, we always ensure there’s plenty of free time built into our itineraries so you can unwind, make use of your accommodation’s facilities or explore further. You’ll have time to stroll through local markets, enjoy a meal with new friends, or discover hidden gems at the beat of your own drum. The balance between structured activities and free time gives you that perfect balance of both guided exploration and personal discovery.

This trip was amazing from start to finish! It was such a great mix of culture, history, food, and scenery – every day felt different and full of new experiences.

South Korea really surprised me with how diverse it is. From busy Seoul to quiet temples and mountain hikes, there was so much to take in. The trip was pretty full-on at times, and I’d have loved a bit more free time in Seoul or Busan to explore on my own, but overall it flowed really well.

We arrived in Columbo to rain to be met by our smiling guide for the trip who introduced himself as Suresh. From there on, everyday was different, due to the time of year the weather was a little chilly in the hills but improved greatly as we descended to the lower levels. Suresh was amazing and everyday, he showed us something different and made sure our holiday experience was amazing. Suresh’s ability to spot wildlife on our cycling trips was unbelievable, almost as if he had planted the wildlife!!. I have taken some amazing photographs from the holiday and Suresh has provided us with his amazing photographs also. Suresh always seemed to go out of his way to make our holiday experience better and better, he is a star. The whole team was incredible, nothing was too much trouble and they were always looking out for our best interests, including keeping us safe. Best Exodus cycling trip yet, amazing wildlife, amazing Sri Lankan experiences, amazing leader, amazing team.

Having booked somewhat last minute, we were anxious approaching our first multi day trek, mostly about our fitness (particularly for me as an energetic 57 year old weekend walker without any training regime), but also about travelling with strangers for 8 days. We need not have been. It was hugely challenging, especially with the unseasonably hot weather (34-36C), but the demanding ascents/descents and long days were achievable and gave us a huge sense of achievement at the end of each day. Campsites were amazing, from dusty village to green (but mostly dry) oasis and awe-inspiring mountain plateau. We barely saw a soul during the days and only small numbers of villagers at night. Seeing the little group of green tents already set up below us as we made our final descent of the day and knowing that the wonderful Exodus team would have a absolutely delicious dinner on, a brew and biscuits (or sometimes pancakes straight from the pan) on arrival was a fantastic reward at the end of each day’s walking. It was a real privilege to be looked after by such experienced, dedicated and kind people – and a hardworking mule. We always felt safe and our guide Mohamed ensured that the pace was regulated to push us onwards, but give decent rests. Lunch was a welcome reward each day, and quite extraordinary given the environment to have a hot dish and a beautiful spread of salads and fresh bread with mint tea. Shade was our one issue during the day, this is a dry landscape that is suffering as a result of climate change. But our team always found lunchtime shade and encouraged us to lie down and rest on carpets after we had eaten our meal! Our group were great, lots of different characters and ages, from multiple countries, travelling as couples, friends or individuals; everyone looked out for each other and the conversation was endless and enriching. We felt exceptionally lucky to have made our last minute decision – it was 100% one of our best ever trips.
