The trip was a little drawn out. I thought we spent a day too long in the Amazon rainforest as there wasnt really anything to do & seemed to be going on a long walk for the sake on doing something. I also thought the Inca trail walking cold have upped the pace a bit & been a day less. We also spent a day travelling for 10 hours & then flew back so why couldnt we have just flown there & saved time as did make a few stops but of little interest which again felt like stopping for the sake of it. The day before we flew home we didnt get back to the hotel until late because had a flight back at night so again was spent filling in a day with not much, we could have got an earlier flight & hada really good last night with the group.

An "interesting" trip but a little disappointing as it did not really cover the area in any depth.You really only got a "through the bus window" view of the country!
The panaramic view of the tea plantations
Ajay Gupta was an efficient leader but with little passion or interest in the area - South India.He is probably more at home in North India where he comes from.One of the things that struck some of our group was his complete lack of understanding about where we came from so that he had no point of reference to know where our interests may lie. One thing Exodus should consider is letting all their long-service guides visit the UK - it would help the guides understand the people they are dealing with.
Don't take much in the way of extra clothing as it really isn't required. Get a good road map of the area to be visited as the Indian ones are poor. If you want some decent drinks - gin, vodka etc., buy at the duty free in the Indian airport of arrival prior to customs.
A really breathtaking landscape with that wonderful Exodus combination of good company, great food and plenty of fresh air and exercise.
The marriage proposal at the top of Mt Toubkal was a really wonderful climax to a great climb.
The leader was a genuinely nice guy who wanted everyone in the group to enjoy getting to know Berber life. He worked hard to ensure that everyone had a good time, although his goat like fitness & energy left some of us shame-faced!
This was my first trip with Exodus for about 12 years and I had worried about whether I would be up to the trip. Although the pace was demanding at times (many of us later confessed to doubts after the first two extremely hot hours!) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this trip to anyone with a reasonable level of fitness. Being alcohol free, eating very healthily and walking every day was a great detox from ordinary life and I would defy anyone not to enjoy the experience.
An excellent middle eastern adventure, organised and excuted by travel experts with a near perfect itinerary. Set at exactly the right pace so as not to be exhausting, yet always interesting and enjoyable.
The whole holiday; culture, country and people were inspirational. For me the history - throughout this land's existence from ancient times to the present is fascinating, and yet the geography managed to eclipse it all - just. A wonder of a country. The itinerary cleverly kept us interested and open to contrast - for example, the fine culture of Jeresh & Petra, then travelling onto the arid, magical dessert of Wadi Rum, followed by the sun and fun and sea of Aqaba. Brilliant!Another bonus, were the people I was lucky enough to travel with - they were in themselves inspirational and very interesting and I ended up learning a lot from them too.
Ali is a top flight leader, hugely knowledgeable, confident, capable and thankfully with all our many and eager questions... patient. The other two team members also deserve a mention- our driver and our tourist policeman are also excellent. All three are charming, friendly utterly helpful and had a good sense of humour. We all felt very safe and well looked after without being hurried and with freedom to go at our own pace.
A) Do read the 'Trip Notes' before leaving. Bring a good warm sleeping bag and clothing for the dessert and in winter and a good walking footwear for Petra. B) Book this trip!
I loved this holiday. Beautiful mountains, incredible desert vistas. It was varied and interesting, and the amazing group made it even more memorable.
The mountain mini-trek was beautiful. Incredible views, some level of challenge but adapted to meet the needs of our group.
Moustapha was very knowledgeable and calm and helped to make the experience so memorable
It was colder than I expected in April. Although this didn't spoil my trip, I probably would have packed differently in retrospect.
We’ve now been back from Morocco for some time, so it’s about time I contacted you again to thank you and your team for organising what was, I believe, a most successful adventure. All the Chetwynde School Sixth Formers, and Gill and I, loved it.Mohamed and Abdullah, the local mountain guides, were great andinspired the group with confidence. I must also mention the cooking staff who did a brilliant job at all altitudes! Please see below for the comments on our wonderful group leader Rich Astridge. Again, thank you.Andy
Reaching the summit of Mt Toubkal, I don't think any of us had climbed anything like as high as this.
I wish to compliment Rich Astridge, our Principal Tour Leader, on theexcellent job that he did for the group. Rich is a great advert for Exodus. He is clearly a most experienced and talented leader, who wasmodest about his achievements and engaging with his anecdotes.
It's very hot in July, up to 50 C when we were there, but we all survived. Make sure you wear some headgear, however dodgy. Anything from stylish Berber wrap arounds to upside down shorts will apparently do!
Wonderful 9 days with lots of fun!
Cycling to the Dead Sea. The way to the Dead Sea was very hot and challenging. But when I reached to the Sea, I felt very glad. And, finally I floated on the water, which was one of my dreams.
He always thinks of tour members and how he tells the history of Jordan.
Drink a lot of water and have fun.
Amazing experience and great way to traverse three fascinating countries. Great group and team of guides too.
This was a great trip. Very well organised and a good ratio of Guides to Trekkers. The climb is challenging but worth it for the view from the top!
Summit day
Very good
Buy an insulated water bottle for summit day. After 12 hours of hiking, it is nice to have unfrozen water to drink
Brilliant combination of cycling, walking, culture, good food & great company!
Petra - everyone has seen pictures of it but until you are there it is impossible to get the scale of it.Wadi Rum - amazingly shaped & coloured rock, full moon lit walk at night.The day four of cycling - great hills (up & down), amazing scenery.
Danny is a great leader. What he doesn't know about Jordan is probably not worth knowing. Very well organised and always happy to assist with extra requests from the group.
Take warm clothing if you go in the winter months. The temperatures are close to freezing first thing in the morning and at night. And comfortable shoes to allow 8 hours of walking in Petra.This trip is graded moderate but all the cycling (apart from the last day) is either steep down and uphill. So go slowly on the downhills if you're not used to it. And beware of the sheep on the road!
