There wasn't just one - the whole thing was great, riding without my sunglasses so I could enjoy the colour of the hills and think how lucky I am that I can do trips like this.
Thoughts on Group Leader
- Paolo is an excellent leader - He was calm and clear throughout - Our safety was paramount in his mind and he was always looking out for us - The organisation was excellent, always lovely lunches and dinners - a lot of that seemed down to the relationships Paolo in his network - Not only was he accomplished in the area of cycling, he is also clearly passionate about the history of the region and its impact on society - He also had great support staff such as Emilio and Raphaello
Advice for Potential Travellers
Some people ponder over the 3 / moderate rating - I think it's accurate as we took plenty of (needed) breaks to recharge. However there are plenty of hills and so inevitably there will be challenging moments. It was a really friendly group - ranging in age from 49 to 82 - and a mix of standard and e-bikes, so there was something for everyone.
Great trip
A really interesting trip with enjoyable walks, good company and a great leader.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were great views from the castles at the top of the mountains. A good reward for climbing steps.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Gizer was a great leader, organising interesting optional trips on the free day and final day. He also arranged 3 evening meals for those interested at varied, excellent restaurants. He also gave good restaurant recommendations. He is very knowledgeable about the area.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take walking poles for some of the downhill sections. You do need a decent level of fitness.

Alejandro Rodriquez
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for various temperatures and degrees of humidity. Transfers between areas took longer than I expected although the bus was comfortable and there were plenty of stops.
A fantastic introduction to Japan
This train tour of many contrasting areas of Japan gives an excellent experience introduction to a beautiful exciting country. An excellent variety of accommodation close to transport hubs made exploring very easy.
Most Inspirational Moment
There was no single moment but it was all about the experience. The country is very different from the west but safe and friendly so easy to comfortably explore.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Quinlan was the perfect guide. Infinitely helpful and patient. Knowledgeable and energetic. Well organised and great company.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don’t come to Japan cold. Do a little research on cultural differences, food and the language. It’ll make life much easier. Smart phones make navigating the cities easier (Japanese sims from Amazon?) and travel cards on iPhones make life easy too. You need a little cash but not loads; Most places use cards but there are a few exceptions that should be prepared for. Public transport to and from airports are easy but do your homework in advance.
Great holiday

Advice for Potential Travellers

Essential Peru
I have enjoyed every Exodus trip I have done and this was no exception. It was a busy trip with several long travelling days in a very comfortable coach, but the journey was always broken up with numerous stops and the scenery was amazing.
