Walked up some really big hills and then descended the other side. The views were stunning. Expected Hotel Adler to be better and Villabassa is really just a village.
My first walking holiday with Exodus……..for anyone who has been on a cycling holiday, stick with the two wheel option.
Not having my luggage delayed once back in the UK.......half the group had to wait for theirs to be delivered on the next BA flight to Venice(outbound flight).
Good.......lots of historic information.
Even though the Map says Italy, it's heart lies somewhere else, hence the food is not really Italian. Evening Meal is 5 course and basically you get what is put in front of you(not enough options).
Excellent trip, hot hard work but worth it
Having such a wonderful landscape virtually to ourselves
Couldnt fault him
Dont bother taking a sleeping bag, mine remained in my main pack for the duration of the trip, a sleeping bag liner may be useful although I didnt use that either, water purifiers were a waste of time, the mountain spring water should not be polluted with chemicals as it tasted so good unadulterated, no stomach problems from the water as long as you take the guide's advice (common sense really) where to source it. I was there in June into July, it was very hot thwen, I am told that August is even hotter, choose the earlier departure for the spring meadow flowers
Great that the itinerary took us all around this beautiful, mountainous country. So much to keep your attention even on the longest bus journeys. The Albanians are very friendly people and always smiling and saying hello. All hotels were excellent, apart from the one on our last night. It was a bit too hot for most of the time, especially when having to climb in full sunshine! Nice and cool though by Lake Ohrid in Pogradec and I managed a swim there. The only swim included in the itinerary in a hot spring, however, was very disappointing for me. No shade, far too many people in a very slimy and rocky pool, so difficult to get in and out. I hadn’t realised that there was so much Greek and Roman history and ancient sites in the country so that was very special for me – particularly in Butrint National Park and Apollonia. We visited many museums, most were interesting but there were too many for me, so sometimes I decided to give them a miss. Photography is very important for me and there was so much to photograph everywhere we went.
We had one inclusive lunch and it was at the home of a lovely family in the village of Dhoksat. The food was absolutely delicious and just kept coming .. finishing with an amazing dessert. A fantastic treat! Also loved all the ancient sites. So happy to have 2 nights at an amazing family-run hotel in Berat. Managed a lot of walks on my own there, and the best was when I left the hotel at 0640 as it was so cool at that time of day!
Arjan was an excellent guide. He knew so much about every place we visited. Also very calm and very friendly. As was our driver, Genti.
I would recommend getting up and out early, especially when it is so hot. I did a lot of special pre and post breakfast walks on my own.
An excellent fulfilled week spent well. Our guide was unbelievably knowledgeable of everything from the mountains to the flowers. Simply couldn’t have asked for a better person to lead us , thanks Jason.
If I were to change anything it would be to introduce a baggage transfer service.
Crossing the col ferret - the clouds then cleared to give us the most magnificent scenes of mountains and Mont Blanc
As stated in summary , best guy ever . He cared about each and every one of us and even gave me his poles half way thru the trip when I lost mine! Forever grateful 🥹
This is a challenging trip with long hillwalking days . To enjoy it fully be fit.
Way beyond my personal expectations.
So many, difficult to select one, but main event was Machu Picchu
Absolutely top notch....very knowledgeable and very enthusiastic....Raul Guerrs
Listen to any advice the guide gives you
This trip was wonderful, especially after being released from Covid issues. Our guide Tiziano Tomasello was terrific. Very cheerful, helpful in every way. My cousin and I had signed on for the May 2020 trip, which was cancelled and again for the May 2021 trip, also cancelled. Many in our group had tried also. We all were very happy to finally get to Sicily. It rained our fist 2 days so hiking on Etna was strange; due to the weather the cable car was shut down and the top was covered with clouds. But there was a fabulous wine tasting after our wet hike. By the time we circumnavigated the island, Etna was erupting and highly visible from Taormina. The rest of the trip the weather was perfect, the local guides were also excellent. The most incredible site was the Villa Romana del Casale with gorgeous mosaics.
Tiziano is a young man but very knowledgeable about leading a group and making sure all is well. He has been a guide in Germany, France and other places and is fluent in English, German, French, Italian and of course Sicilian.
Try the food in the markets. All delicious. And the gelato is the best ever.
Walking beautiful. Tour guide excellent. Pick up from airport disorganised. Hotel adequate.
Walking around the rim of Vesuvius
Roberta was excellent. Informative, patient ,caring and good fun.
No
Group flight from only one airport; good transportation and support; sturdy bikes; nice cycle routes (puts England to shame); glorious weather; excellent guide with lots of information provided.
Descending from the hilltop down to Lake Garda.
Michele was excellent, with lots of knowledge about the history of places/things we saw, plus a real interest in the individuals in the group.
Try and check the weather forecast just before packing - I took some weatherproof items that were never needed as the temperature for each day hovered around 30C.
I have been on many Exodus trips over the years and this one is right up the top with the others.
Stunning views, immersed in the Italian culture.
Cycling down into Lake Garda. Also the knowledge that our guide, Michellee had really bought so much more to the trip.
Michellee was the best guide we have had on any Exodus trip. He went above and beyond to take care of everyone - no easy feat with a group of 16 people but I feel he managed it extremely well. A very knowledgeable man, great sense of humour. Hard working and a joy to around. There were just so many little extra things that he did to make sure everyone was OK and enjoying the trip.
Hire an e bike for the hills!
Trip with Naxos extension booked October 2021. Exodus forgot to book (1) initial transfer from airport (2) transfers and ferries between Athens and Naxos. First problem dealt with, but if we had not chased up the Naxos transfers on four separate occasions Exodus would have dumped two pensioners with all their luggage in Athens on a Sunday evening without any accommodation or transport. Lots of anxiety and time-wasting with various telephone agents until Alex Keefe sorted it out. But it cost us a lot of time, worry and money.
Local agents Trails Beyond were very good, dealing with unprecedented bad weather, minibus breakdown and outbreak of COVID.
Mycenae
Very good in impossible circumstances
Thank you so much for your review, Jim. We were glad to learn that you were impressed with our local team and especially with our guide, Eva, and hope you had a great holiday in Greece overall. We were so sorry to read, however, about the problems you had with booking transfers from Athens to Naxos for your post-trip extension. We understand that you were in contact with our Customer Operations team, and that they worked diligently to amend the error that had been made and to make additional arrangements that would allow your trip extension to go ahead as smoothly as possible, and that this was fully sorted before your departure and you were not out of pocket. However, we do appreciate that the initial mistake from Exodus made for an uncertain and worrying time prior to your trip to Greece; our Customer Operations team is usually extremely conscientious when processing bookings, and we sincerely regret that our usual high standards were not met on this occasion.
