This tour was a welcome change from the fast paced touring of the big cities. We became familiar with the topography and vegetation as we hiked daily, also visiting towns known for wines and cheeses. The town of Chianciano provided a magnificent backdrop to our accomodation of Agriturismo La Pietriccia. We were awakened every morning to the rooster crowing. Stefano was an attentive and knowledgeable host. Plenty of food was served at the 4 course suppers. I feel this tour was necessary to complete my knowledge of the culture of Italy!
The topography and vegetation of the Val d'Orcia. I fell in love with the cypress trees. The famous winding road lined with cypress. The history of the Etruscans, and learning of Iris Origo's recounting of the war in Val d'Orcia.
Stefano was available, knowledgeable and very personable!
There is a lot of walking, you need good walking shoes, a hat and insect repellent!
What a magical week: walking one of Italy’s most spectacular coastlines in the company of a really great group led by our wonderful guide, Veriano. After a day ascending mountains or volcanoes, descending stone stairways connecting sublimely picturesque towns and villages or traversing ancient mule paths on The Path of the Gods, we would return to a warm welcome and great food from our hosts, the hospitable Acampora family, and their first-rate staff.
Walking The Path of the Gods, justifiably the most famous walk on the Amalfi Coast, taking in terraced vineyards and historic towns along the way, with fantastic photo opportunities framed by the dazzling views of the Tyrrhenian Sea .
Veriano was the ideal leader, a popular local lad whose unbounded enthusiasm, knowledge of the area and easy manner engaged and relaxed the group, who gelled from day one, sharing in Veriano's love of the landscape and delight in the scents of the region's wild herbs and the size, taste and many uses of the lemons. Fresh lemonade complemented our packed lunches, and a demonstration of limoncello making (with tasting) preceded our last dinner, at the end of which Veriano gave us all a glass of his excellent home-made lemon liqueur. That evening was enlivened by a song and a poem members of the group had written for our group leader, eloquent testimony to the esteem in which we all held a man with humour, willingness to join in the fun (including singing sessions) and commendable professionalism and empathy in charge of the safety and wellbeing of a disparate group of walkers.
Before you book, read the trip notes about the number of steep steps which need to be negotiated if you have dodgy knees.
Great trip with a bunch of lovely fellow travellers. The weather could not have been better. Organisation was spot on.
Definitely making it to the summit 20 mins before sunrise.
Lachen was terrific. Always a smile of his face but always looking after us and making sure everything was ok. His pace management on the last 1000 metres in the dark getting to the summit was very good and allowed everyone (range of fitness levels) to make it to the summit. Terrific guy.
My first trip with Exodus. I had high expectations but the reality exceeded them all. Jordan is a fascinating country. Every day of the trip was packed with experiences and each day was distinctly different from the one before. The landscapes were dramatic and varied. We would be shopping for fruit in a market one minute and visiting a Roman theatre the next. The food was a real treat too. All the Jordanian people we met were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I thought I would visit Jordan the once and move on to visit other places but I left wanting to return.
I thought it would be Petra but I think that was pipped by being in Wadi Rum by a fire, drinking Jordanian coffee and being able to converse with a Bedouin man who had lived through such a period of change.
Absolutely outstanding. The experience was totally enhanced by his knowledge and passion about the history and culture. Great sense of humour and Mouyad worked tirelessly to ensure that we had the best possible experience. It was my first trip with Exodus and I will be amazed if I encounter another guide as good.
If you go in August, don’t bother with walking boots. I didn’t wear mine because it was too hot.
We have been on several holidays with Exodus and this trip was up with the best! We were astounded by the amount of wildlife we saw on the 10 day trip. The gorillas were the obvious highlight for us but we didn’t expect to get so close. There were two silverbacks, one blackback, four females and two babies, some of which came within touching distance of us. The trackers and trekkers couldn’t do enough to make our encounter special and we felt privilidged to be in this beautiful and remote part of the country. No matter what your level of fitness, the guides made it possible for everyone to reach a family of gorillas and sightings were just about 100 % guaranteed. The chimps encounter was also amazing and again so close up. Aa well as these two days, the rest of the holiday did not disappoint as we embarked upon safaris in the Queen Elizabeth National Park and Kibale forest spotting hippos, buffalos,elephants, lions, giraffes and we were lucky enough to see two leopards and a tree climbing lion. We embarked on two cultural tours in the community and saw how the villages lived and worked and were overwhelmed by their friendliness towards us. The whole trip was an immersion into culture and wildlife and it was hard to believe what we saw and experienced in less than two weeks. Our guides, Robert and Sam were excellent and worked so hard on our behalf and everyone in the hotels were very accommodating, looking after our every need. There were some superb hotels on this trip and only one didn’t come up to the mark. There were some long transfers during the holiday but the scenery and culture seen along the way helped pass the journey and Robert and Sam were great at stopping frequently for breaks and leg stretching!! If you want to experience the culture and wildlife of this vast and beautiful country, don’t hesitate to book. You will not be disappointed!!
Coming face to face with a family of gorillas after a lengthy hike into the depths of the forest following our trekkers who were cutting down undergrowth with machetes ahead of us.
Robert and Sam were amazing and bent over backwards to give us this wonderful experience. They managed to spot wildlife whilst driving along and their knowledge of animals and birds was second to none. They were great ambassadors for their country.
Take toys eg balls and primary school equipment so that they can be given to the local schools that you might visit as they genuinely have no resources at all.
If you think of Tuscany you think of rolling hills. Stop. The Garfagnana Mountains are a relatively undiscovered part of Tuscany……..and they are indeed Mountains !!!! In fact they are superb mountains with beautiful climbs through gorgeous forests, onto green plateaus with alpine flowers and finally onto the rocky craggy peaks with 360 degree views far and wide. Where better to sit with your new group of friends and have a tasty picnic lunch. This is one of the best walking trips I have been on with Exodus……….made even better by the unique accommodation and the splendid food provided. I cannot fault it in any way.
So many wonderful moments but I guess I enjoyed the achievement of getting to the peaks and seeing the far reaching views.
Sarah is the best one yet !!!! (And they have all been good). She appears casual and laid back but in reality she is extremely well organised and anticipated our every need before we even knew we had one !!! Everything was well prepared and explained in a good manner........plus she didn't just expect us to remember it all...........she pre-prepared information for us to use. Even on our day off she took it upon herself to make sure we had everything we needed.........even buying our train tickets in advance, giving us an excellent timetable and booking taxis and evening meals. Nothing was forgotten. But above all of these things Sarah is a woman who's heart and soul is in these mountains and activities and she dearly wants to share it all with us and make sure we enjoy every moment. She is extremely professional and very careful. Indeed a lovely lady..........our Wonder Woman !!!!
Take note of the Exodus grading for this trip. It is a Grade 3. Top end Grade 3 I would say, having done a few. As far as I know the grading system is not 1 - 10 as I believe a lot of people sometimes think (and sometimes get caught out). So, rather than 3 being below halfway on a 1 - 10 grading, I think, maybe, this trip should be thought of as a 3 between, say, 1 - 5. A good moderate trip. (Just my opinion). It's a great holiday to do. Go for it.
We had the most amazing week traipsing through the Prosecco Hills. Our guide , Vania, was happy to share her wealth of knowledge of the landscape as well as Prosecco. Vania made sure we were well looked after and kept us entertained with her wonderful personality. The Hotel Conta was ideal for the trip and the staff were super friendly . I would not hesitate in recommending this trip to anyone.
The vistas were beautiful.
She was the best !
Wow! What a ride. The BEST way to check out a country and see the people and natural landscapes from ocean front to the hills. Everything was so organized (thanks, Exodus!) and our tour guides Ruben and Amando were excellent. Our bikes were new or in like-new condition. We had 15 very satisfied cyclists on this ride, who want to do another❤️
Ruben es perfect. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Armando was a big help, too!
If you want to experience the REAL countryside (not just the stuff for tourists) try Exodus Cycling expeditions.
This is definitely the trip to do to discover the best of what Jordan has to offer in just 1 week. From camping in the red sand deserts of Wadi Rum to modern comfort relaxing by the Dead Sea, to spending two incredible days exploring the famous Petra, to local food, cooking classes, dinner with a local family and exploring the sights of Amman and Aqaba, this trip has it all!
Every single day! We absolutely loved camping in Wadi Rum - the tents were amazing, the food was incredible, there were so many stars. We loved the 4x4 ride, the campfire outside, the red sand, the sand dunes and the 3-4000 year old graffiti Our tour guide was Muayad and he was exceptional. He made us feel at home in Jordan and treated us like family. Muayad took us to all the local places to eat, staying away from the tourist traps. He taught us so much about Jordan, and really treated us all like individuals, helping each and every one of us.
Muayad brought Jordan alive for us, this is honestly one of the best trips I have ever done, Jordan has such an incredible amount to offer. Muayad's knowledge and passion for Jordan really shone through and he really tried his best to make everything perfect for us. Best tour guide ever!
Don't look any further, book this trip!
Post covid the first trip with Exodus, a little bit of anxiety, a long time since a cycling holiday, however, already decided that based on past experience, I would not be disappointed. Aboslutely right, having spent endless hours worrying about getting fit again, Covid had not been kind to me, I realised that I was not unfit. So enjoyment was the usual making new friends, seeing a country that I had not visited before, tasting and enjoying the culinary delights, understanding the culture, seeing wonderful sights and all on two wheels. But most of all thanks to our guide and everyone else on the trip having a very good time, the latter being an understatement. Even a bit of rain could not put a dampner on the holiday.
So many
Excellent, command of English good and his care and concern over safety and welfare, his understaning of idioms a delight.
Don't hesitate book.
