Challenging climbs with amazing scenic views

A fantastic itinerary through four Balkan countries, all offering scenic views, good cycling , excellent food and just enough historic places of interest. Challenging cycling climbs rewarded with spectacular long descents.

Most Inspirational Moment

The ride through the Tara Canyon reaching the famous Tara Bridge. Endless fantastic photo opportunities.

Thoughts on Group Leader

What an excellent guide Dhimo was. Professional, helpful, knowledgeable, choosing good routes and pointing out places of interest. In depth knowledge of the region culture, language and currencies. Fantastic help choosing unique restaurants, ordering appropriate local tasty dishes and organising an easy method to pay all the individual bills. Complete empathy with all group members. Good sense of humour. A really good guide and companion who I would like to consider a new friend. Of note Viz, the driver also contributed significantly to the success of this tour.

Advice for Potential Travellers

You need to be quite fit but if you are, you will struggle to find better views on any tour. End of April / early May was a good time to visit. All countries were safe and culturally interesting. I have been on several Exodus cycling holidays and this is one of the best.

ADE: Puglia: Discover the Heel of Italy

Beautiful landscapes, amazing food and wine, incredible architecture!

Most Inspirational Moment

Olive oil tasting on a historical family-owned masseria with 2000-year-old olive trees, followed by an amazing lunch at another beautiful masseria. Matera is so unique and beautiful and the hospitality and comfort at the trulli in Alberobello were top notch too! Otranto for a beach day and the architecture in Lecce is incredible.

Thoughts on Group Leader

In Matera and Lecce we had local guides who made the cities come alive. Our trip leader throughout was able to give us a great introduction to Italian culture and made us feel right at home.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This was my first trip to Italy and it was perfect! We went mid-April, my sister and I flew into Milan for a few nights and then down to Bari to meet the group at the airport for Discover the Heel Italy. In spring, before it becomes a summer vacation destination for Italians, Puglia feels off the beaten path and you get the historical sites and beach towns all to yourself! Wear comfortable walking shoes and take waterproofs if rain is in the forecast so you can stay out all day. There is a lot of free time on the trip, so take advantage of the opportunity to wander around and discover on your own. There’s something for every diet, but the bread and cheese is incredible, and the vegetables are super fresh.

Fabulous trip

We had a wonderful packed fortnight cycling Vietnam, so much to see and do and so many thoughtful extras and variety. I only do town cycling at home, don’t have very strong legs, so didn’t do every bit of cycling, esp the long ascents and descents and didn’t find m electric bike as powerful as I’d hoped but managed fine. We were looked after superbly by the team of 4 and it was brilliant to be greeted at every stop by chilled lime juice and snack. Very nice group and brilliant leader.

Most Inspirational Moment

Many highlights. We all loved Hoi Ann and Hal Long Bay was magical, and fantastic food, all very varied. V comfy hotels. I had some lovely clothes made in Hoi Ann - silk pyjamas, copied from some I had with me.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader, Linh Vo was absolutely brilliant. Tirelessly looking after us at every point, brilliant at organising, and always thinking of special things we would like to see and do. He is such a bubbly personality, endlessly entertaining, and his infectious enthusiasm really helped the group to bond. Absolutely first-rate. We knew we were in good hands.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure your breakfast eggs are thoroughly cooked! And you might like to add an extra day or two to explore Hanoi more, I wish I'd done that.

What a week - what a guide!

It’s hard to mess up a trip to the Cinque Terre, hut Exodus has really nailed this one. A well-paced itinerary put us in all the right places, and moneglia is a delightful place to stay. The hotel Piccolo is excellent – centrally located, family-run and scrupulously clean, it is hard to fault and somewhere I would happily visit again. One tip: ask for an upgrade when you arrive, the extra cost is definitely worth it. Saving the best to last, however, we were blessed to have Miki as our guide. She was incredibly attentive throughout the week, and was always 2 or 3 steps ahead in anticipating our needs. Hugely knowledgeable about her home region, she also has a great sense of humour, and always seemed to be genuinely happy to be with us. She is a jewel, and turned a great experience into an unforgettable one.

Impossible to identify a single moment.

My Favourite Exodus Trip Yet

The tour is well paced for both distance and difficulty through beautiful scenery with some long climbs and exhilarating descents. We travelled the first two weeks of May and were very lucky with the weather with the rain staying away for almost all of the trip. The tour took us through glorious sunshine and took us right up to the snow.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Dimitry (Dimi) and his almost inexhaustible knowledge of the complex history of the region led the cycling & Elvis (Vici) with his careful, patient driving provided vehicular support. They worked fantastically well together, had every situation under control and were a pleasure to travel with. Together they showed us some of the highlights for the beautiful Balkans and made us feel extremely comfortable/welcome.

India's Golden Triangle

Loved the very full itinerary. Felt safe within the group and so was able to see sights that I would never have dreamt of visiting solo.

Most Inspirational Moment

Taj Mahal and Amer Fort. Rickshaw ride and visit to the village.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was great.

Vietnam & Cambodia Highlights

Excellent itinerary, guides, trip coordination, and travel companions! Why should I risk travelling with someone else?
Thoughts on Group Leader

Great guides and like-minded fun trip companions.

Expectations Exceeded

We are both in our mid-sixties and this was our first walking tour. We loved it. We always felt safe (even when going up a very daunting slope) and knew that our guides really, really wanted us to have a brilliant experience. Luis was extremely knowledgeable, energetic, friendly and always in good spirits. We were impressed with how the local restaurant, bar, and hotel people interacted with him; there was genuine mutual respect and appreciation. Francisco was also so knowledgeable and patient, and his grandmother makes wonderful Easter Bread. We will never forget our joy at seeing Luis and Francisco drive up to us at 10 p.m. to offer us a ride back to our hotel after another late-in-the-day Portuguese Dinner. Together, our two guides set a very upbeat, positive tone for our week together. They constantly and sincerely listened to our feedback and adjusted to our idiosyncrasies.

Most Inspirational Moment

When my wife and I were finally standing at the top of a steep climb, we knew our adult children would never look at us the same way!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Luis was brilliant. He bent over backwards to make sure we had the trip of a lifetime.

Advice for Potential Travellers

These walks are not meant to get you into shape; make sure you do the work ahead of time so your body will let you enjoy the walk. This is not the time to "break in" a new pair of shoes; make sure you have trustworthy footwear.

Wonderful walks showing the beauty of Madeira!

What a wonderful way to experience the varied landscape and unique plant life in Madeira! This was my first walking trip, and I was worried that I would get bored after a few days of walking, but what we saw each day was so different from the last! We did have one day of walking in the rain, but I think we got very lucky as the walk we did that day was covered for a lot of the way by trees and we were walking through some tunnels as well. The hotels were comfortable and lovely, but the one in Porto Moniz was beauuuuutiful!

Most Inspirational Moment

Making it to Pico Ruivo! The views from the top were amazing and it was relatively clear when we got there, so Andre was able to point out all of the places that we had gone to while on the trip from the peak of the mountain! It was really cool to see all of the places that we had visited over the week on the last walk :)

Thoughts on Group Leader

Andre is a hilarious guide with a lot of passion for his island! He was vigilant when it came to safety while on the walks - especially the day it was raining as it was super slippery in certain areas of the path. On day 5, the walk was meant to the Fanal Forest - it was what I was looking forward to most on the trip, but due to the wind conditions, we had to switch to a different walk. Andre was quick to set up alternative plans for the group and I the walk we did ended up being one of my favourites from the trip!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Definitely bring hiking boots, those are a must! And the trip notes mention this, but the last hike to Pico Ruivo involves walking on paths with a sheer cliff drop on one or both sides of the path. It can be scary for people who have a fear of heights!

Fabulous trip!

This was a lovely trip! We stayed in a nice hotel, and although it had basic facilities there were plenty of good restaurants nearby. The town is pretty but there isn’t much to do there if the free day is a rainy one. Plenty of towns nearby or Venice to visit though. The scenery in the hills was stunning, and the Prosecco was amazing.

Most Inspirational Moment

Coming across a Prosecco vending machine in the hills!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vania was a great guide, knowledgeable, friendly and easy going, especially when our group had a bit too much Prosecco! Sandra was our driver for most of the week. She was such good fun and made any journey more enjoyable.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Enjoy!
