Excellent guide, disappointing cycling
We have been on a number of Exodus cycling holidays and have had some superb guides. Issy matched them all. She had tremendous energy, worked extremely hard with good nature and an infectious smile. Nothing was too much to ask and she always went over and above to make sure everyone was happy. She had a serious incident with one of the guests during the holiday which she handled professionally and with great competence. Exodus would be well advised to use Issy in future trips. The cycling was disappointing – many days of flat uninteresting roads with lots of traffic in Thailand and Cambodia.it was only the last two cycling days in the Mekong Delta that made us remember how good these cycling trips usually are. There was no feeling of a journey and the route had been poorly conceived. The ebikes were problematic and the transport by minibus in Thailand too cramped and the bus in Vietnam on its last legs. Not good enough for Exodus standards.
Thai Indochina Explorer
The whole trip was fantastic. The group mix was good although I appreciate this is one thing Exodus have no control over. The pace of the trip was good. The only negative point was in my view was the hotel in Siem Reap which was nowhere near the standard of the others. It was in part dirty and rather dated.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were so many high points very difficult but probably Aktor Watt.
Thoughts on Group Leader
This is where you really won. Trang in Vietnam and Channa were both fantastic and both went out of their way to ensure we were happy etc. I understand this was Trang's first trip for Exodus. Her knowledge and humour was so good. Please use her again!! Channa was likewise so good with knowledge and humour which kept us all happy. It was obvious that the visit to S 21 was very emotional for her and I felt for her. I felt that we left friends. Nhe our Group leader in Thailand was also good but we were not with him as long.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Just do it!!

A couple of days in Hoi an.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Great tour leader so full marks.
Life changing!
This was a trip of a lifetime, from start to finish I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very get up and go, so if this isn’t your sort of trip then I don’t think it would be for you.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing Machu Picchu for the first time was really incredible, no one can explain to you how it feels when you're standing there, you have to see it with your own eyes. I also really loved the sand dunes which our leader took us to!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Leo was incredible, he was thoroughly organised, kind, patient, sensible, careful - everything you want in a tour leader. I noticed how he waited in reception all times of the day in case anyone needed him, so he could be found easily. He really made the trip for a lot of us.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If it is approaching summer/spring in Peru - ensure to pack shorts, t-shirts etc as the weather is very unpredictable and it was VERY hot for us! Also very strong sun cream, as well as a travel pillow for long journeys, ear plugs and face mask which helped me.
Brilliant trip with Jorge Suarez, fantastic guide, and Freddy, excellent driver driver
I have done a lot of Exodus trips and this was one of the best. We saw everything significant that there was to see, thanks to the extraordinary ability of Jorge Suarez to see even the tiniest creatures in thick foliage, then set up his scope to enable us all to see it. Too many species to list them all but for starters: Sloths, tapir, several species of monkey, alligators, a breathtaking assortment of birds, including lots of hummingbirds and even the wonderful resplendent quetzal.
Most Inspirational Moment
Undoubtedly, seeing the resplendent quetzal in all its glory
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jorge Suarez must be a candidate for guide of the year! He consistently went above and beyond expected levels of support to the group. He was available 24/7 for the entire 15 days and was always suggesting interesting additions to the core itinerary. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the flora and fauna of this wonderful country, and was enthusiastic about sharing it with us. He's very sensitive about group dynamics and ensured that we all got on well.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't take too many clothes. It's very hot everywhere except the one night at Savegre, and the day visit to the Irazu volcano. There's an included laundry service at Drake's Bay.
Vietnam & Cambodia Highlights
I love the small group format of Exodus Tours, and the tour leaders and places visited is generally excellent.
Most Inspirational Moment
Angkor Wat, Cambodian Circus, Ha Long Bay Cruise
Thoughts on Group Leader
We missed the usual local guides for each City/place in Vietnam, since Bao was not quite confident enough to share lots of local and historical info, but in Cambodia Ly did an excellent job imparting local and historical information.
Amazon Rainforest Expedition
The people on board the ship were very talented and passionate about sharing the Amazon
Most Inspirational Moment
Playing soccer in a local village with the children; seeing the butterfly exhibit there also
Vietnam & Angkor- Premium Adventure
It was our 10th trip with Exodus and the standard was again excellent as we have come to expect.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were many highlights but Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, the Mekong Delta and Angkor Wat stood out. Meeting the friendly Vietnamese people and experiencing the scooters at rush hour was also most memorable.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Exceptional all round leader who loves his country and wants to share as much of it as he can in the time available. Definitely another highlight of the holiday.
Amazon Rainforest Expedition
Quality of trips offered. Clarity of materials provided to prepare for trip. Personalized service.
Most Inspirational Moment
Exploring the area with the naturalists. Food was also very good.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Retrieving data. Wait a few seconds and try to cut or copy again.
Vietnam & Angkor- Premium Adventure
Content was good, and all trips were on time and well organised. The tour guide in Vietnam (TV) went out of his way on a daily basis to ensure we all understood what was going on. He really did create a family atmosphere which meant we had no concerns or worries about our expeditions or meals
Most Inspirational Moment
The Ha Long bay experience and the meals in general - TV took us to some places we would not have chosen without his expert guidance. Also enjoyed Hoi An.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I really cannot rate TV high enough - he made the holiday - he was on top of every situation and ensured everyone of us were on board. His organisational skills were excellent - It was a seamless set of experiences. He really went above and beyond his remit to ensure we all had a great experience.
