Better Than I Could Have Imagined!

This trip was just about perfect. Our leader João was fantastic, both passionate about Portugal as well as highly organized. The scenery just got better every day. Food was great especially the coffee and pastry stops. I really enjoyed the dirt and gravel roads on this route, giving us access to the best views. So much fun! 10/10 for sure!

Great trip!

A perfect way to see the best bits of China

Most Inspirational Moment

The Great Wall and Terracotta Warriors exceeded all expectations, they were truly amazing. Pandas were adorable!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Anna was a great tour leader - she provided a good mix of history and background to all the places we visited.

Advice for Potential Travellers

China was a lot easier than we expected - it was easy to get around and explore on our own during free time. Make sure you get your eSIM sorted before you arrive so you can continue using maps/Google translate etc. Be prepared to show your passport every where and expect a lot of security checks! Fabulous country, so glad we went.

Unforgettable way to experience Egypt

As a member of the Exodus team, I was really excited to experience this Signature trip on my first visit to Egypt, and it exceeded all of my expectations.
From the moment we landed in Cairo and were whisked through the airport by golf cart, the journey felt special. The itinerary strikes a great balance between iconic highlights and lesser-known gems, which helped us explore while avoiding the crowds. Our guide, Andrew, brought ancient Egypt to life with his knowledge, engaging storytelling and fun anecdotes.
Every place we stayed was exceptional, with thoughtful service and staff who were always happy to help. Each day of the trip had carefully chosen moments that took us off the beaten path to see something memorable, and it all felt really special.
Once on board the private Dahabiya, the experience stepped up even more. The crew did a fantastic job of making us comfortable as we drifted along the river, whether we were stepping off the boat to explore sites or relaxing on deck with a drink and watching the world go by. It’s an unforgettable way to discover Egypt.

Most Inspirational Moment

With Andrew’s storytelling, history came alive at every turn. There were so many “wow” moments as we wandered through ancient temples and stood close to the Pyramids.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Andrew was an incredible leader. His knowledge was genuinely impressive, and his passion and enthusiasm were infectious. The way he brought stories to life and highlighted details behind the sites made every stop engaging and memorable.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The journey is packed with highlights as you explore iconic sites in Cairo and Luxor. Once you step aboard the Dahabiya, everything slows down and there’s time to relax. Watching Egypt glide by from the deck with a coffee or glass of wine in hand is a lovely way to take in the Nile at a gentler pace.

Beautiful - mountains, sea and beaches

Beautiful location for a walking holiday, with mountain views, historic sites and quiet beaches. Even time to swim in the sea on several occasionals!

Our guide was amazing, George looked after the group perfectly, sharing local knowledge and helping those that wanted to join in the Easter celebrations.

The hotel and town were the perfect base, great places to eat with a friendly atmosphere.

Would definately recommend this trip!

Unforgettable 2 weeks in Vietnam!!

This was the most incredible two weeks walking through Northern Vietnam. The trip offered the perfect balance of time in vibrant Hanoi and Sapa, while also taking us deep into the remote communities and villages of Ha Giang and the far north. Every day brought stunning scenery—endless rice terraces, dramatic mountains, and beautiful landscapes!

Most Inspirational Moment

One of the highlights was how immersive the experience felt. We were the only tour group on the trails, passing locals going about their daily lives—working the rice fields, walking buffalo, or children playing between villages. It felt authentic, peaceful, and incredibly special. The food deserves a special mention, absolutely mouth‑watering! Every meal was a highlight, and the warmth and generosity of the people we met made the experience even more memorable. My most inspiring moment was being welcomed into a local family’s home, where they prepared lunch for us. Despite very limited shared language, we connected through laughter and kindness—it was unforgettable.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Linh, truly made this trip exceptional. He is hands down the best tour leader I’ve ever had on any guided trip. He was 100% committed at all times—constantly looking after us, sharing his home, his culture, and his personal stories of Vietnam. He went above and beyond every single day, and his humour added so much to the group experience. I genuinely can’t imagine exploring this region without him.

Advice for Potential Travellers

bring trekking poles, breathable clothing, and plenty of water—it’s hot and humid!

Superb journey down the nile

This tour is superb such a high level of hotels and guiding and inclusions! The guide Andrew was brilliant so informative, friendly and engaging. You got to see virtually every temple you have probably heard of and get to see different things in each one that Andrew guides you to see. The timings are great they try to avoid getting you there when all the huge groups will be there. There is so much included with all the food inclusions that the tour price is virtually all you will pay, just allow a budget for drinks(in the old cataract a cocktail is easily £30 mark!) and local craft gifts you want to buy! The pace is full on to start but then you get to the dahabiya and the pace eases down to a lovely relaxing level floating down the nile nipping to the odd temple then in the jacuzzi or sat on deck having a drink watching the world go by, it was brilliant.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the pyramids from the observation area with noone else there because of the timing of the tour was incredible

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was superb genuinely not had a better guide before, Andrew was so good I felt sorry for other groups we saw because they didn't have our guide.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Prepare for the food, Egyptians seemingly are feeders and the portions are akin to USA portion sizes!

Step into the Amazing Amalfi Coast!

We had a wonderful week walking the quieter part of the Amalfi Coast, seeing the coastline, beaches, small villages, wooded areas & climbing down a LOT of steps but they were worth the effort & aching legs to arrive in wonderful places!
The hotel is lovely with very welcoming staff & the food is traditional home made Italian which is really nice!
We enjoyed the little extras too like the pizza making & tasting evening, the kitchen tour & a visit to the local cheese maker (THE best ricotta cheese we have ever tasted!) We didn’t want to leave!

Most Inspirational Moment

Turning the corner & seeing the Vesuvius crater for the first time! Visiting Ravello which is a gorgeous little village & much quieter than bustling Amalfi!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Veriano had a great sense of humour & shared his knowledge of the local area with us. He built in lots of rest stops, especially when negotiating the many, many, many, many steps! He always ensured that everybody was happy & didn't feel rushed which made it a good experience all around!

Advice for Potential Travellers

The best bit of advice is to train for the thousands of steps that you will walk on, especially 'step down' exercises to lessen the burden on your knees or use poles if you are confident with them. There were 3 walking & 1 sightseeing group at the hotel at the same time as us so be prepared for itinerary changes-we ended up walking 3 back to back 7 mile walks which can be challenging! Come prepared & have a fantastic time!

Stunning views, stunning hotel and good workout!

Blue skies, sun and absolutely stunning mountain views where the Dolomites meet the Alps. This trip offers plenty of fresh air and exercise. And then after trekking all day coming back to relax in the sauna of the gorgeous Adler hotel and then look forward to a delicious evening meal in the hotel’s beautiful dining room, or wine cave was a real treat. The hotel staff were just fabulous.

Most Inspirational Moment

So many incredible moments: enjoying fresh, deep snow, blue skies and sunshine; trekking through woods and feeling on top of the world on the Durrekopf peak and Monte Piano with spectacular views across the Dolomites; the cosiness of the hotel and wellness centre and from a culinary point of view, the Adler breakfasts and the Strudel at the Alp Nemes Hutte were something else!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader Jef was brilliant. He was super organised and his evening briefings were thorough and clear. He was also hugely knowledgeable about the mountains and the nature. He was kind and considerate e.g. in helping with snow shoe and feet issues, but also 100% professional and I felt he had everything fully under control. He was probably one of the best Exodus guides I've been away with.

Advice for Potential Travellers

We did 50km over 4 days on snow shoes and spikes and part of the 12km treks we did involved fairly long ascents. The snow was also pretty deep in places so if you slipped off the track you might end up up to your thigh in fresh snow which was a lot of fun. I'm definitely not unfit but let's put it this way, with the altitude and trekking most of the day I slept really well. I would suggest a bit of uphill training wouldn't go amiss on this trip.

Wonderful introduction to a quieter, less touristy Japan

Delightful variety of experiences, wonderful group leader. This trip was definitely more than the sum of its parts. Many of the visits to artisanal towns, ie, for porcelain, candles and to castles didn’t really resonate with me personally. There were more stays in cities than I would have liked, as I expected this to be more rural-oriented. Yet somehow, the whole experience, with the outdoor-orientation of the group, great food, wonderful hotels, an unforgettable group leader, added up to a trip I’ll always cherish. It was a perfect introduction to Japan for me.

Most Inspirational Moment

Kosanji Temple in Sedota after a day of cycling the Shimanami Kaido cycling route; the Mount Aso hike and area, as well as the hotel there

Thoughts on Group Leader

One of the great highlights of the experience! So kind, sweet, attentive and organized. A remarkable human being!

Advice for Potential Travellers

I am a pretty experienced hiker and cyclist, yet I found one of the hikes a bit challenging and the cycling pace a bit fast, given it was my first ride of the season. However the group was organized flexibly so the slower hikers or bikers were accommodated. Though I'd initially thought that the days separated from our main luggage would be an inconvenience, it turned out to be a blessing, making for easier, lighter traveling.

Par excellence!!

Super happy friendly locals, very varied terrain, loads of wildlife and a wide ranging introduction into Sri Lankan culture.

Most Inspirational Moment

An assault on the sense. Bright colours in flowers and clothes. Excellent tasty food everywhere. Paddy fields and mountains. Challenging cycle climbs and some stupendous descents.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Suresh was amazing. Anticipating everyone’s wishes and delivering. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Have no doubt this is one of the best. So glad we went.
