Undiscovered Atlas was a brilliant trip. 5 days without internet or phone reception, and just endless, beautiful scenery. Lahcen was a brilliant guide, and the chef Hassan whipped up amazing meals in the middle of nowhere. I definitely didn’t expect 3 course lunches and dinners which were all superb.
The walking was great, really varied landscapes, and there was a great sense of achievement at the end of the day when we made it to the camp.
Whilst it was April, the weather was definitely changeable, with thermals needed one day, and the next hats and suncream. Make sure you take clothes for all weathers. Views were spectacular, so a good camera is definitely worth taking along.
There was a great team spirit, which made the whole tip extremely enjoyable, and lots of memories I won't be forgetting any time soon.
Lahcen was a brilliant team leader; knowledgeable, interesting, funny and concerned for all of us when we were walking.
This trip more than satisfied my curiosity and interest in Albania. We cycled in lots of different regions facing different countries and seeing Albania in all its beauty. Each day offered a different type of ride, the scenery forever changing and the views always spectacular and breath-taking.
Seeing just how beautiful Albania is on so many levels. I felt honoured to have been able to get a glimpse of a country that has just opened its doors to the outside world. Everything from my perspective looked unspoilt and natural. People were really friendly and cheered us on along our journey.
Erlis was an amazing group leader and had a lot of work to do making sure we were all OK. I loved the way he spent time explaining things and helped me to understand the history of Albania from his own perspective and how it had affected his upbringing. Both him and our driver were really supportive and helpful at all times making sure we were OK, had enough to drink and kept us entertained especially when we or rather I struggled up some of those continuous hills that never seemed to end.
Go as soon as you get the opportunity. Make sure you have a good pair(s) of shorts as you will be in the saddle for a long time. I brought a pair for each day of cycling and was happy they were well padded as I really needed them to be for the sake of my sanity!!!
A wonderful trip with a fabulous guide and great travel companions. I wasn’t sure about doing a tour as I usually travel independently. This time, I didn’t have time to plan logistics, learn Arabic (though most do speak some English), or manage/research all the destinations, and I only had a week of time off, so I decided to try a pre-organised trip with Exodus to a place I’ve always wanted to visit. So glad I did.
I learnt about Roman cities by walking amongst the pillars, I marvelled at mosaics away from the distractions of the 9-5, I climbed up rocky out-crops formed of incredible reds and oranges, I learned about the Nabateans and the Mamlucs and the Bedouin and the history or a tumultous region steeped in history for thousands of years. Not only do you get to explore Petra and Wadi Rum, float in the Dead Sea, snorkel in the Red Sea, admire Jerash and Madaba and Karak Castle and the flowers in the desert (in April) (thanks to our guide for hunting out the end of season black irises), but you get to taste local food (delicious Shawarma and Falafel) sip delicious mint concoctions, and hear about day-to-day life in world full of refugees, intense politics, history and conflict on all sides. Things come to life when you are in the landscape. Thank you.

Fabulous group leader - highly recommend Jihad.
Really look at the weather forecast before you go. It can be cold and wet in Jordan (North and Middle) in Spring, even though it will also be hot in Aqaba, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea.
The variety of experiences, from steep climbs down steps hewn into the hillsides to walking the rim of Vesuvius or marvelling at the mosaics of Herculaneum, made this a memorable trip.
Our group, christened ‘the joyful’ by our leader, contained an assortment of Britons (including Scots), a couple from Sydney and another pair from California. We all enjoyed each other’s company, avoiding the clique-forming which can occur within a group, and all choosing to eat out in a restaurant together on our day off.
The hotel staff at Due Torri were attentive, friendly and helpful and the food was excellent.
The thunderstorm and drenching rain which struck while we were walking the Way of the Gods was pretty awesome, as was making it to the scheduled lunch stop later that day! I loved the visits to Pompeii and Herculaneum: so extraordinary to see every day items, along with beautiful art that has survived for two thousand years.
Severio is an exceptional leader, knowing exactly how to get the best out of every team member and appraising both individuals and situations with skill and patience. His enthusiasm never appears to wane, however many times he must have gone over the same ground. I must also praise his kindness: having returned home and realising I had mislaid one of my purchases, I contacted Seve to see if he could help. He went back to Amalfi, sought out a replacement item, then posted it to me in the UK, entirely at his own expense of time and money. That must be way beyond anything that the job description requires!
Do go prepared for all kinds of weather conditions on the Amalfi coast. Warm weather clothing may be needed, even in Spring and Summer.
I think people should be warned more about how strenuous the walks are if people are not fit…
the trip is rated as moderate fitness, but moderate to a young fit person is not the same as someone older or not as fit.
All participants should be advised that they MUST where appropriate walking boots to improve grip on unpredictable ground.
Team work, helping each other, looking out for each other.... being considerate of others around us and being so grateful for this opportunity in life to visit such a beautiful part of the world.
Our leader was very relaxed and laid back. Good help and advice when we needed him. Very sociable.
Wear good walking shoes. Get fit before you go, do the exercises Exodus send in the itinery.
A week in Jordan
fly into Amman and transferred to a hotel for the night then travel along the kings highway towards Petra via Mt Nebo , Madaba and Kerak.
Two full days to explore the sights of Petra
visit little Petra
quick visit to Aquaba (for supplies )
Wadi Rum desert, four wheel drive and two nights in Bedouin camp along with one day hiking through the desert.
visit and swim in the dead sea staying at a 4 star (5 star I think ) hotel
I cant single one inspirational moment as they all were but if I really had to then it would be the sunset in the desert Wadi Rum
Ibrahim was fantastic from the moment he picked us up at the airport till the moment he dropped us off there he looked after us really well. Anything we wanted he was there for us. he gave us all the information and more that we needed to complete our trip. He made sure every guide we had was the best and helped us understand the countries customs and language. I would absolutely recommend him to any of my friends that are planning to visit Jordan
Yes please do not think of Jordan as a country in the middle east or in an area of trouble as it is so much more than that. It has a very western European outlook and the people are so friendly and they actually believe they are half English and have Jordanian. Our trip has open all of our eyes to a completely different view of the middle east. go and see for yourselves I promise you , you will be blown away with how friendly and open this country really is.
An excellent trip. Well organised and operated.
Looking down on Petra and realising the extent of the site and the awesome achievements of the inhabitants over the ages.
Jihad Abu-Zahra was amazing - knowledgeable, entertaining, helpful, patient - everything you would want in a guide. In addition he helped me when I had a medical problem - sorting out medical help, to which he accompanied me, translating and explaining as necessary - a real support. Nothing was too much trouble for him - he is to be highly commended. Thank you Jihad for a wonderful trip.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable week on this holiday. The walking is not too strenuous but is varied and picturesque. Our guide, Michael, made this holiday for us. He was so knowledgable and interesting but friendly and cheerful also. He knew so much about the local area & its plants and wildlife. The accommodation is comfortable with plentiful tasty food (although coffee in a local bar in Algámitas was better than at the cortijo! ) We were able to see all the sights of the beautiful city of Seville which was an added bonus. Felt quite privileged to spend some time in an unspoilt area of Spain with a friendly bunch of people.
We enjoyed the walk along the Caminito del Rey. Stunning views and never really experienced anything like it before ( over such a prolonged distance) Also we were lucky to see the Easter celebrations in progress whilst we visited the first town for our tapas lunch which incidentally was delicious.
Excellent. Very knowledgable but able to share this in an interesting way. He worked hard to keep the group together on our walks.
Great week despite the weather! Sarah was an excellent guide. She knew the area extremely well and was able to make adaptations to the walks depending on the weather and confidence of the group.
The farmhouse was comfortable with great food. The make you own packed lunches also worked well.
Would definitely recommend this trip, but if I was going again, I would probably go a bit later in the year when the weather is more likely to be settled.
A trip to Lucca on the free day would be my suggestion. A lovely little town, compact with plenty to see.
I enjoyed being guided by Sarah, over the rocky scrambling part of the walk to the rock arch. I would have been nervous, but Sarah was great at confidence building and got us all through it.
Sarah was the best group leader I have met. She was very quickly aware of everyone’s abilities and managed us very well. She was very knowledgeable about everything and I felt very safe with her. I would chose any trip I knew she was going to be leading in the future!
Some of the walking is quite steep, but manageable if you are reasonably fit. I would go in June or September rather than April when we had very mixed weather.
A well organised trip visiting 3 Islanda. Very educational. Our leader Tom had excellent knowledge. Volcanoes, snorkelling, great accommodation. Could have done with more free time and beach work however.
Dolphins joining us for a swim at the snorkelling coral reef
Tim was amazing. Faultless. He was professional, knowledgable, amenable and kind. We rated him highly
Have a few days afterwards if you want the beach scene
