Most Inspirational Moment

The desert experience was absolutely unforgettable. Standing amidst the vast, golden dunes of the Sahara, we witnessed both a sandstorm and a thunderstorm as the sun set—an awe-inspiring moment that felt like nature’s own symphony. It was humbling, powerful, and deeply moving.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our guide, Abdullah, was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. He ensured the group was well-informed and safe throughout the journey. While his cautionary advice was well-intentioned, it occasionally created a bit of apprehension among the group. Nonetheless, his dedication and care were evident every step of the way.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This tour is ideal for those seeking cultural immersion rather than luxury. Come with an open heart and mind, and be prepared for simple accommodations and the occasional “creepy crawler.” The beauty of Morocco lies in its people, traditions, and landscapes—not in five-star comforts. If you're flexible and curious, this trip will be deeply rewarding. One suggestion: consider swapping Rabat for a visit to the enchanting Blue City of Chefchaouen—it would be a magical addition to the itinerary.

Terrific, knowledgeable, organized.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I'm not sure what the difference is between walking and hiking anymore. I liked the walk, but be prepared for a more difficult walk than the Trip Notes indicate.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking across the legendary El Caminito del Rey gorge and bridge - a bucket list item ticked off.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mike was amazing - always enthusastic, friendly, and a bottomless font of knowledge about the local area, Spanish culture and the walking itself. His trick of pouring ice water into your hat to keep you cool is the stuff of legend.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take lots of cash as not many places accept bank cards.

Walking thru the Sun Gate and seeing Machu for the first time!

Thoughts on Group Leader

William Mirano was the best Exodus guide I’ve ever traveled with. Assistant guide Ronald’s wealth of knowledge of native birds and fauna added to beauty of trip.

Focus on aerobic conditioning to lessen symptoms of altitude

Most Inspirational Moment

Every day presented us with something unique, but the ride along Amalfi coast was the jewel of this trip

Thoughts on Group Leader

Of cause this trip would not be that great without our group leader - Paolo. He made sure we've been treated really well at every place we went to.

Most Inspirational Moment

No single moment, but some enjoyable stand out experiences - the views along both Cilento and Amalfi coasts, the delightful lunches we enjoyed especially near Pisciotta with a wonderful host and at the buffalo farm, the views from Ravello after hiking there from Minori. All very enjoyable.

Thoughts on Group Leader

I had seen many positive praise of Paolo in reviews and he lived up to them all. A true gentleman, skilled and sociable guide, who did his best to give us the very best experience.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Definitely worth doing. Take a range of clothing as the weather in mid May was unpredictable but temperatures made for comfortable cycling.

Most Inspirational Moment

The final day hiking was particularly good and included a boat ride. It was a really pretty coastal hike, much of it is through forest. There was a good mix of terrain. The beach was beautiful and so interesting with the caves. We had time for a refreshing sea swim.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Michele is up there with the best guides I have met. He was engaging, informative and funny. He was helpful when it came to advice on our free time and at advising us on the planned days. He spent time getting to know us all and made sure we were all coping and comfortable. You can tell how much he loves his job.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The hotel and other restaurants we visited catered well for anyone with dietary requirements, and the food was always delicious. I recommend going to the Shepherds dinner which is an optional extra. It was one of the highlights. I think the moderate/level 3 rating for the trip is right. I hike and run a lot so had no difficulty but the hills will stretch some people not used to the terrain or heat. However the reward for any effort needed is the beautiful scenery.

Most Inspirational Moment

The long climb up through Durmitor NP was challenging, but the post-lunch ride all the way down through the mountains to Rudinice was incredible!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Rei (guide) and Rimi (driver) were both fantastic and nothing was ever too much trouble. They both are proud Albanians and were always happy to share stories and their culture with us.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pack for all weathers and prepare for the hills! The temperatures on this trip vary a lot! We had cold mornings in the mountains but very hot days once we were cycling the bay of Kotor. And as others have mentioned it requires a good level of fitness, otherwise definitely invest in an E-bike to enjoy the holiday :)
