Our first experience of Sicily so chose this holiday. It gave us a mixture of culture, Greek, Roman as well as modern. A variety of food and drink experiences as well as exploration of the countryside. The small group and an excellent leader made for very good holiday travel.
Going to the top of Mount Etna in unseasonal snowy weather.
Rosario was very well informed and caring. He conveyed his love of the area to the group. He obviously had made many contacts which enabled us as a group to participate with local people.
Not really a relaxing week. Be prepared for a variety of activities from early morning until evening.
This was a great trip, taking in a multitude of sights across the length of Vietnam, right from Hanoi in the north down to the Mekong Delta in the south. The guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly, helpful and funny. The food was amazing, the hotels all comfortable. The sleeper train is quite an experience. Don’t expect luxury – just a hard mattress and a bumpy ride. My group were well looked after the entire time.
Just walking around the cities and seeing how people live a totally different lifestyle half a world away.
Excellent. Very knowledgeable, friendly. Helpful, always ready to give recommendations on food options, restaurant choices or optional sights to go and see.
Don't book unless you can cope with high heat and humidity, and don't expect comfort and modernity from the sleeper train. Be prepared to go for some periods of time without access to a shower and for long walks. But it's all worth it to see the sights.
What an amazing time – from the lovely Moneglia (Piccola Hotel) to the amazing walks so expertly guided by Michela Wicks. It was really everything and more than we wished for. Would never have chosen to do it differently. No time was lost or wasted pondering. Our time there was precious.
Every day was super special.
Excellent and more.
Do it with a guide. Your time there is precious. Go with those who know the way.
Well, what a trip that was ! An amazing experience made all the better by excellent organisation by Exodus.
Reaching our goal of Machupicchu was my highlight
Carlos Enrique, our guide & leader was phenomenal, he was not only very knowledgable about Peru’s history & the Incas but also very passionate about them too which made me even more interested. He is a true credit to the Exodus team.
Just book & go ! You will not be disappointed
Loved every step. Our super fit guide, Michela Wicks, did an excellent job keeping us all together, providing us with heaps of information and many laughs. Thank you Michela. You are wonderful.♡
The views, the degree of difficulty of crop growing in the area, the history, the buildings. So much more. I am in awe of this part of the world.
Michela was awesome. Thorough, organised, knowledgeable, interesting and lovely to chat too. I was sad to say goodbye.
It's a must. You wont be sorry.
Food was well above the standard I expect. Well presented and varied menu. Lovely views and good company. Shame we had rain on the gorge walk
Walking over the snow drifts
Managed the various speeds of the walker well
Take walking sticks. First time i used them but made life much easier
This trip gave a flavour of the region of Puglia in more ways than one… Staying in four different locations across the week, we learned about the importance of olives and wine in the region with visits to a an olive grove for olive oil tasting and a factory for wine tasting, and were encouraged to try local specialities by our leader who at group meals ordered a range of typical dishes so that we could try a variety. Although not specifically a food tour, food has to be a major part of any trip to Italy…
Exploring the alleyways of white-walled hill-town Ostuni as the sun was going down.
The walks (I can't speak for the one from Otranto, which we were unable to do due to bad weather) were fairly flat and easy. The guided town tours are if anything more strenuous as they are longer! (Note, the one around beautiful Matera does involve a few steps and sloping paths, the only way of seeing this town built into the sides of a gorge). Walking trainers or even walking sandals are appropriate for all walks on this trip. My personal advice - take your coffee the way the Italians do, stood at the counter with an espresso cup and a glass of water. It's quick, nice, local, gives you a caffeine boost, gives free access to a toilet, and usually there's cake available too! To nut allergy sufferers - be aware that in this area hazelnut is commonly mixed with chocolate in pastries and desserts. There is a great love of Nutella! Always check before ordering!
Didn’t get off to a good start because exodus didn’t inform us and several others of an itinerary change, although some others in the party did hear about it. Although the reverse order for the visits is better we ended up with a 1/2 day on Paros with not much to do and no useful suggestion from the tour leader. He was generally a very good guide but occasionally not as flexible as one might wish. The walks were generally good and not hard apart from the odd steep climb. Just wish there had been more of them (see above). We were recommended to go to the buried town of akrotiri, which was well worth the trip together with the museum in Thira. Can’t understand why Exodus don’t make this part of the trip if time permits. If we hadn’t gone we would have had another wasted morning on Santorini, to add to that on Paros.
Hotel beds generally rock hard and in 2 out of the 4, some of the smallest shower cubicles we have ever experienced. I think we would have preferred to pay a bit more for a better hotel on Santorini & Paros
Ferry journeys were always longer than anticipated but luckily weather was OK so we could go on deck apart from Naxos to Rafina on the catamaran where you have aircraft type seats
walk on naxos
See above but generally good but did tend to lecture us a bit. Extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant. Could do with a bit more understanding on the needs of a diabetic in the group but soon caught on when we pointed out it wasn't a "gippy tummy" but low blood sugar. Probably helps that we are familiar with this condition due to previous job. Some small kindnesses to the group were also appreciated and he did try hard. But having him deal with other groups that exodus has in the region while guiding us was not optimal. Exodus need sto emply more staff to cover their local needs
Make sure you have plenty to read for ferry trips, be prepared for hard beds. Good walking shoes a must but boots probably optional
A full on safari/trip through Botswana and Zimbabwe – not for you if you need 10 hours sleep every night.
The highlight without doubt is the trip via Mokorro canoe and camping trip into the Otovango delta.
Some long days travelling in the mini bus but all very worthwhile.
Otovango delta
Absolutely one of the best
See above
Excellent , Confident and friendly leader who coped well with a wide variety of fitness levels
Good food served by the hotel, I personally found the beds very hard!
Shame about the weather, but not much anyone can do about that!
Visit to the cave was spectacular
Excellent friendly leader, felt very safe, and he coped well with a wide variety of fitness levels / and experience of the other hikers
Prepare for all weathers, and assess your level of fitness to cope with the scrambling and uneven rocky hiking, and Some steepish climbs/descents
