The whole holiday came up to expectations. Our guide Sara couldn’t have done more for us and adapted our walking to suit the weather per4fectly. The accommodation was comfortable and welcoming and their food delicious. The walking was challenging for me but achievable and worth the effort. Having the company of Elvis the dog on some walks was an added bonus.
Walking the ridges on the last couple of days was lovely, the sun had appeared and it was great having constant wonderful vistas and knowing that I could manage the terrain.
I couldn't fault Sara. She was thoughtful, competent, efficient and caring.
Go.
Climbing Kilimanjaro was an adventure for me. i wasn’t sure what to expect, but found that the trip exceeded my expectations! We were all so well looked after and the whole experince was fantastic. Getting to the top of Kilimanjaro is not guarenteed, but as a group we all made it, which is a real testimony to how well we were looked after and supported on the trip.
Standing on the top of Kilimanjaro with my friend - we had been planning it for a year and had trained and prepared together for it all. We raised £4600 for charity in taking on the challenge, and the sense of acheivement and fulfilment standing at the top of the mountain together was amazing - I will never forget it!
So well qualified for his role. A man full of wisdom and understanding for the job he had to do - I felt we were in very safe hands.
Be well prepared for the trip - kit, training, medical advice etc - the better prepared you are the more likely you are to suceed and the more you will enjoy it!
Oliver, the leader, was unenthusiastic, like an office clerk doing the same job for years. He was difficult to understand, sometimes snappy but foremost, I felt like on a school trip when a teacher would scold you for anything. It was obvious he had some bad experience in the mountains, because even when you tried to keep walking, tired of stopping all the time, and stayed ahead of the group, he panicked and would brag about safety in the mountains for hours &days! Food was quite basic, we all craved for veg and fruits and had to stock up ourselves with those things. Last but not least, it didn't feel like grade B+, there were too many stops, you couldn't get into the rhythm of walking because of the guide stopping with his dog every 5 minutes! That was quite annoying as we didn't pay for a stroll with a dog in the park.
the scenery was breathtaking
disappointing and spoiling the whole trip
if you are a slow walker, don't mind eccentric guide and basic food, you will enjoy it.
Oliver has been an Exodus leader for many years and his knowledge and experience are of the highest level. He regularly scores very highly in our client feedback survey and as can been seen from other comments on this review page, clients have been extremely happy with him and the trip as a whole. Oliver also leads winter itineraries for us and you will be able to see many 4 and 5 star reviews on these also: Trip codes CEB, CEC and CYC. For any leader client safety on the trip is essential and this means ensuring the group do not become too spread out on a walk. This can be more tricky to manage in a group with varying abilities but all our leaders are experienced at managing this situation to ensure that the group are happy and enjoy the trekking pace. Please note that this itinerary is Grade B and not B+ and the itinerary has been set to reflect this. Elaine, Oliver’s wife prepares a delicious menu throughout the week and again you will see from previous reviews that this is well received. With each evening meal there are normally 3 different vegetables served and breakfast and lunch usually include fruit. Dylan their Fox Terrier does accompany some of the walks and has proved a popular addition. He is extremely friendly and loves having his photo taken!
We have learned a new meaning for the term "undulating", but to be fair, we knew in advance that Tuscany is hilly. If you wish to cycle every km of this trip, then a reasonable level of fitness will be required. That said, the effort is well worth while. The scenery is fantastic. The road surfaces are excellent. The gravel paths are great fun and the hill top villages and towns are stunning. We were blessed with the weather to match and a fantastic group of people to share it with.
Cycling the final climb into Siena, after a 70km ride, to arrive at the famous Piazza, then to be guided through the Siena streets by Allessandro. A most memorable day. Wonderful.
Already voted for the awards! Excellent.
Although this is described as "B" Moderate, there are some climbs (otherwise described as "undulations") but the idea is that you go at your own pace and enjoy every moment of every day and especially the wonderful scenery. There is absolutely no pressure to keep up with anyone else in the group. It is very much a "no pressure" trip, but if you are willing to push yourself, it is a great fitness challenge. ps padded cycling shorts are a must!
The trip was fantastic! The route was beautiful, the group friendly, and the leader outstanding.
It was great to see everyone make it to the top of the hill on day two. And the decent wasn't bad either.
Ana was exceptional! She was organized, accommodating, and fun. She went out of her way to make sure the needs of everyone in the group were met and that everyone was enjoying themselves.
While the trip is graded "moderate," there definitely were some difficult hills. I recommend doing some hilly training rides if you're not a regular cyclist.
A thoroughly enjoyable holiday. Kudos goes to a very engaging and professional guide, a great group and lovely food, but the real star was Croatia itself; gorgeous scenery around every corner, beautiful green sea, scented with herbs and flowers and, especially on the islands, a very friendly people.
Probably climbing the steepest hills and letting go for a gloriously fast descent.
Bojan was very good indeed. He challenged the fastest, supported the slowbies and found lovely restaurants for every meal.
A little cycling practice won't go amiss - some of the hills are steep, but by no means long or difficult, and it's useful to know how gears work, when to change gear, what to do when it's rocky or to have a little bit of confidence in your ability to ride for a few hours. oh, and padded cycling shorts are a good idea. Also, our bikes were very exactly sized - to the inch rather than 'small/medium/large' - so tell them your correct height or you may get a bike that's slightly too small!
I can’t fault this trip! Beautiful sights, amazing history and a wonderful group made this holiday one of the most memorable I’ve been on. Also a huge thanks to both Danny and Sadam who took care of us during this tour – both informative and friendly!
There were several moments during this trip which I will remember forever. Floating in the dead sea and snorkelling of the boat in Aqaba were great fun.However the best bits for me were sitting around the camp fire listening to stories from Danny whilst looking at the gorgeous night sky in Wadi Rum and also getting to the viewpoint in Petra and looking out at everything. Truly astonishing holiday.
Danny Haddad was a fantastic tour leader. He was informative, friendly and passionate about the subject which made it all the more excellent.
I'd thoroughly recommend doing the snorkelling boat tour in Aqaba. The lunch on the boat was wonderful - grilled fresh fish, fresh salad, potatoes...and then snorkelling off the boat was excellent. Well worth the price!
A wonderful trip with some excellent experiences.
Swimming with Sea lions, penguins and rays!
Extremely knowledgeable.
Don't think twice - do it!
A fantastic trip through Jordan. Very well-paced to allow plenty of time in Petra and Wadi Rum.
Hiking as a group in Petra without seeing any other tourists.
A great tour guide--professional, fun, and educational
Take this trip! Unlike others where you get a day in Petra, this trip allows for you to immerse yourself in this incredible city.
A brilliant way to get away from it all at high altitude. Spectacular and diverse scenery.
Reaching the top of Salkantay pass....seeing two seperate valleys dropping away, and the snow clad mountain was simply stunning.Walking along the canals at approx 3000m and stopping to soak our feet in the ice cold water.
Wilfedo could not do enough for us, he was so informative about the surrounding areas, always willing to help, and fit into our 3 person group :)
Go with an open mind, don't sweat the small stuff...don't take too much stuff, remember the horses and the porters have to carry everything up hill!!!Even if you have a hydration pack take a metal bottle as they serve as a overnight hot water bottle (it gets cold at night).Most places we visited prefered the local currency (Solis), you can pay with dollars, but you will get a poor rate of exchange)
