A great trip!

I’ve not travelled with Exodus before but booked after recommendations from friends. This trip lived up to the hype and I found the trip to be well run and very enjoyable. The week I went was a Solo departures week with only one couple. The mixture of people was great and I felt happy to chat to every single one of the 15 people in our group (16 inc me). I’ve made some good friends and I only wish some of them were closer to me so I could keep in touch. If you’ve not travelled as a solo traveller before, go for it! – You won’t feel awkward or disappointed.

Most Inspirational Moment

It was great to accomplish the fairly long (18-19 mile) final walk from the village up to the lake! Although it's a long walk, it's relatively flat and we had quite a few breaks on the way. Nobody in our group failed to complete the walk and for only 100 dhirams (£8) you can hire a mule for the day, which we did (as a group) just in case anybody got tired.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Hassan is a great leader - very friendly and knowledgable with a good sense of humour. At the time of writing the poor chap has never left Morocco and I hope Exodus can sort him out with a free flight to visit the UK at some point as he says he'd love to come over.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I'm not sure the Exodus supplied kit bag is the ideal bag for this trip. A medium sized wheeled suitcase would be far easier to pack and move around than the Exodus kit bag (which doesn't even have a shoulder strap). Many in our group who'd travelled before brought suitcases or rucksacks instead as these are far easier to move around the airports with. Bring a decent torch.

THE AMALFI COAST

I finished my holiday with a big smile on my face and plans to book my next trip as soon as possible.

Most Inspirational Moment

I loved the fact that each walk is different in terms of terrain and spectacular views. The walk to the nature reserve, which in itself is another sight to behold, was my favourite with the dappled sunlight, passing mule trains and waterfalls. I also enjoyed the occasions of taking the local bus back to our hotel (sit on the left hand side!) and twirling ever upwards round the hairpin bends, beeping frantically as you go. We did one trip at night and looked back on Amalfi twinkling in the dark - perfect!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Albert was a safe pair of hands as a group leader. He gave the group the freedom to find their level in terms of fitness and speed and kept us all together.

Advice for Potential Travellers

My advice would be to make sure you have comfy walking shoes (I had a blister!) and take a pair of flip-flops in your back-pack for the beach, as it is shingle and very painful to walk on. A cozzy and walking boots is not a good look, especially in Positano amongst the glamorous Italian ladies.

TREASURES OF SICILY

If you want a holiday with plenty to see and do whilst learning about the history, culture and geography of a fascinating island then this trip is for you. Travelling right round Sicily in only 8 days means some long days and time on the road but there is so much of interest that it is worth it. We stayed in some interesting and individual places as well as the usual hotels.

Most Inspirational Moment

The highlights for me were the walk around the old craters of Mt Etna - (the whizz bangs we heard on the first morning were fireworks in the village and not a new eruption!) and the coastal walk in Zingaro Nature Reserve. The week we travelled was unusually hot, about 35C, but there was still time for swimming in the sea, wandering the winding streets of medieval towns and sampling the local food and wine.

Thoughts on Group Leader

We had two leaders/drivers, both very thoughtful and a fund of interesting information. Good fun too and very tolerant of my attempts to speak Italian.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you like to be active, informed and kept busy then go for it and don't forget to try the granita with a brioche.

CARPATHIAN CULTURE AND WILDLIFE

This was a great first visit to Romainia. The carpathian mountains were beautiful, the food was great, and the people were friendly. We had awsome hikes, and good accomodations.

Most Inspirational Moment

For me the most inspirational moment was the first mornig. We had arrived in Magura(our host village) in the middle of the night in total darkness. In the light of morning I could see the beauty of the surrounding mountains, and the quaint little farms on the slopes all around us.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Cosmin was very good. He had a true love of his culture and enjoyed shareing it with us. He spoke very good english. Cosmine was also confident enough to be patient with the slower walkers in the group, yet willing to let the stronger ones forge ahead. Cosmine was also well organized.

Advice for Potential Travellers

You should go with a reasonable level of fitness. The hikes are not hard, yet you are in mountainous terrain. Also, if you have favorite trail snacks you should bring them because some of the selections for the lunches are a little limited and repetative. Like it says in the trip notes, don't change money at the airport. The exchange rates are poor, and we didn't need any cash for the first couple of days in the trip anyway.

PETRA & WADI RUM BY BIKE

It was perfectly organised, from landing in Amman to taking us back to the airport. And anything in between as well.The bikes were good, the cycling through nice scenery very enjoyable and not too strenous (I could have coped with a little more, although some of the hills we went up where not so enjoyable. But at the top you have a real sense of achievement, and if you don’t want to cylce up – the minibus wasn’t far behind you to pick you up)If you want a holiday where you don’t need to organise anything other than turning up, while having a fantastic time, go!

Thoughts on Group Leader

The group leader was very friendly, funny, knowledgable, enthusiastic for his country, supportive and caring. For the unfortunate two where something went wrong (luggage lost, injury) he bent over backwards to help them and sort out the problem. The other guides we had - bike guides and the drivers - were incredibly friendly and supportive
