Outstanding
Excellent guide, Gizer. Excellent driver, Ermer (spelling?). Eleven other interesting (not a euphemism) customers. Good walks, two reminded me of previous grade 3/4 but it’s subjective, to some extent. Good weather. Ten out of ten.
Interesting trip
A well balanced trip combining time in northern Borneo with time on the Malaysian peninsula to experience Melaka, Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Langkawi.
The accommodation was very good in most places but, whilst the hotel in Langkawi was adequate, it was in need of refurbishment and, coming as it did after an excellent hotel in Penang it was a bit of a let down.
In Borneo our guide Felix was good but unfortunately spoke too quietly at times.
On the Malaysian peninsula our guide was Andy who is an excellent guide with a wealth of knowledge that he is eager to share. He went out of his way to try to meet the various expectations of the group.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Andy was excellent and always available and helpful. Felix was good but quietly spoken. He answered questions but didn’t offer much information unless asked.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Book for the twin towers beforehand. It would be useful if Exodus suggested that everybody booked in the same time slot if possible. Our guide had his work cut out shuttling different people to the towers for different time slots and then there was a lot of waiting around afterwards.
Excellent holiday
Well planned walks and visits.
Good accommodation – especially the food, which was top quality, well presented, and catered very well for special requirements.
Most Inspirational Moment
No single one - lots of inspiring scenery
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent - Michael went well beyond what I expected
Advice for Potential Travellers
Walk grading - this grade 2 is nearer a grade 3 than a 1.
Accurate
We had a wonderful trip, informative, well organised and good fun . The cycling enhanced the holiday for me as I am keen to spend my time out doors. great comradery as we had the common interest of cycling and wildlife .

Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for the heat and take a pair of binoculars !
A wonderful experience in two absorbing countries
This is an action packed trip with many opportunities to gain an insight to the people and cultures of Vietnam and Cambodia. Lots to see, do and reflect on in these countries which are now looking to the future after tragic and destructive events in the recent past.
Most Inspirational Moment
This is really difficult. This is a trip of contrasts with the engaging nature of the local people offset by the horrors of events which they have endured. A highlight for us was Hoi An which has an old world charm and the opportunity to meet local people to understand their lives.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Duy in Vietnam was very engaging, well-informed and funny (also an Arsenal supporter!) Sophea in Cambodia was more reflective but very likeable. Both were excellent and looked after us very well. They were well informed and able to respond to our many questions about politics, education, healthcare etc, etc!
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you want to be immersed in these two countries then this is the trip for you. Don’t expect much down time and be prepared for some early rises but this is all done to maximise the experience.
My first winter activity trip
I normally go somewhere warm in February, but thought I would try something different this year. Reading the reviews convinced me to try this trip, and it was a very good decision.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking in snowshoes on a forest trail and stopping to light a fire to toast marshmallows. Dog sledding from the husky farm. Driving a snowmobile for the first time.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Both Tuomas and Elina were both very friendly and good teachers of the outdoor skills. Tuomas in particular was a great advocate of saunas.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Invest in some pairs of good merino blend socks and a hat. Everything else is provided, but your own base layer is a good idea to ensure a good fit. Day time temperatures during our week in February varied from -20C to +1C, so a selection of layers was key. The sunshine and lack of wind meant -20C was not a problem. The rooms have underfloor heating, so we were advised to lay everything out at night to dry and air clothes.
Got to love driving
A lot of time spent on the minibus. A variety of places visited for a short time.
Most Inspirational Moment
Zip lining over the forest tops.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent, very knowledgeable and kept the group on schedule.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Consider if alternate days of driving is what you had in mind. You will see a lot but cover hours of driving to do so.
Fantastic experience
Lovely group of 12, knowledgeable & hard-working guide, good safe driver, wonderful locations & wildlife

Advice for Potential Travellers
I was worried about mosquitoes but there were hardly any (Feb/March) - we stopped using bug spray. Bring old leggings or shorts to protect backs of legs from sun when snorkeling - one of our party got painfully burnt. Or at least bring reef-safe sunscreen.
Egypt
7days in Egypt
Most Inspirational Moment
Luxor temple by night
Thoughts on Group Leader
Well organised but more concerned to keep to the itinerary than to allow time to appreciate the sites
Advice for Potential Travellers
This itinerary was demanding in terms of travelling to reach all the sites but well worth the effort involved
Jordan
5 days in Jordan
Most Inspirational Moment
Sunset at Wadi Rum, and walking through Petra
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent, enthusiastic and considerate. Went the extra mile
Advice for Potential Travellers
I would recommend this trip to Jordan wholeheartedly. A very welcoming country with amazing Natean, Roman, Byzantine and Bedouin sites to appreciate.
