Everyday had something different to offer, the walks were varied from gentle strolls along wide paths to much more challenging terrain. Magnificent views of olive groves and mountains, plenty of wild life and interesting fauna despite the dry conditions at this time of year, would love to see the wild flowers in spring. The accommodation was not luxury but very comfortable and very welcoming, the staff are lovely, food was homemade and tasty.
Difficult to choose! Walking in the Sierra de Grazalma was absolutely beautiful, wild and felt very remote.
Michael was an inspirational leader with a wide knowledge of the area and what it had to offer. His enthusiasm was infectious and made this trip very special.
If offered the chance to visit Ronda take it! It’s a little jewel.
This was a wonderful wildlife holiday. Although the itinerary is packed, with early starts and changes of location every two days, it means that we covered the range of Costa Rica’s habitats. Our engaging and humorous guide Johnny was outstanding , with encyclopedic knowledge of Costa Rica’s flora and fauna, and the unerring ability to spot them wherever we went. It was like having our personal David Attenborough with us for the entire holiday!
We visited at the end of the rainy season, so yes it did rain - the term rainforest rather gives the game away - but usually the mornings were dry and sunny. Ponchos proved very useful to protect rucksacks and cameras during the downpours. The high humidity meant that clothing took a long time to dry, so would recommend taking as much quick drying technical clothing as you can, although there were regular laundry opportunities. I'd also packed walking boots, which were not necessary. Stout walking trainers were perfectly adequate. Card payment is virtually universal in Costa Rica.
A beautiful country with a colourful history, much of it red.
Standing at the summit of the acropolis in Berat Castle on a clear day, with gorgeous views over the surrounding countryside.
Uur guide Klodi was helpful, funny and knowledgeable. Great guy!
Bring lots of cash to exchange because credit cards are almost never accepted at hotels or restaurants.
This is a hard going but rewarding trip, provided you have the patience to get through immigration (two and a half hour wait and no signs to help get to the right place). Most days feature an early start and late finish and it is difficult not to flag in the afternoon shift. Sadly the itinerary often pushes the most inspirational visits into this time, (photographers please note the light conditions are poor for these visits and you do not have time to wait). Enroute visits break up the long journeys and feature a good range of sites, you do not feel ‘templed out’ as on other trips. There is a boat trip (Udaipur) listed as optional, it is actually included, just as well because it is really only a trip to a high cost restaurant, time would be better spent simply making an excursion on the lake for the views it gives and moving on, thus reducing the time pressures on the day. The hotels used are all of a reasonable standard but are showing signs of neglect, probably Covid related, dust was thick on switches in a number of establishments and bathrooms were not cleaned to an acceptable standard. This is my only complaint for the tour, I had to wait 4 days to get a warm shower (note warm not hot) and from then on water was either cold or scolding, bit of a pain when the shower fitting falls on ones head! Breakfasts were always basic but adequate and hotel staff mostly up to speed.
The fact that India can clean up its' act if there is a will to do so. for example, on my last visit to the Taj MahaL it was surrounded by hostile beggars making for a poor experience, and the river by the Red Fort at Agra was a rubbish dump. I have seen India grow from my first visit in 1977 to today, progress is slow but it is there!
Excellent! Probably the best leader I have encountered with Exodus recently and also over nearly 50 years of travel. His age made communication much easier for the current traveler demographic, often young leaders have difficulty with identifying the needs of older groups.
This trip features lots of steep stair climbing in palaces, many are without any safety support or space for assistance, keep this in mind when booking, maybe test yourself first. This is an 'early to bed early to rise' trip, lots of early starts to avoid heat or traffic, there is not a lot of downtime either so expect to come back tired and ready to plan a relaxing holiday. This is certainly not relaxing!
There are not enough superlatives to describe this trip. The whole experience was like being in another universe where wildlife is king and albatrosses rule the skies. It’s only looking back at the photos that it’s possible to accept this was not a dream, but really happened. The landscape of South Georgia is almost unimaginably untouched by people, only the wreckage of the old whaling station at Grytviken is testament to man’s (fortunately) brief reign here. The beaches are ruled by King Penguins, seals and a variety of sea birds. the sounds, the smells and the sights are like a sensory explosion. There cannot be anywhere on this planet to compare with South Georgia. I need to return.
Landing in St Andrews Bay South Georgia in a blizzard - even the penguins looked cold. then hiking uphill for about 1k and looking down over the bay. The sight and sound of thousands of King Penguin chicks spread across the bay is so unforgettable it should be named as the 8th Wonder of the World.
Ridiculously energetic and passionate about South Georgia. Paul Goldstein did everything possible to make sure we spent as much time on shore as possible, whatever the weather. Clocks were changed, Zodiacs launched in the choppiest of seas and expedition guides were constantly striving to maximise our experience.
Whatever it takes, South Georgia is a place which needs to be visited at least once in a lifetime. Dont hesitate - just go!! Take plenty of layers and the toughest waterproof clothing you can find (at least sailing quality) as Zodiac landings can be wet. also include some hand warmers as South Georgia can be very cold.
A GREAT experience, amazing scenery and good group size. The standard of the hotels varied a bit in style, breakfasts and facilities, but most were fine, clean and comfortable. The Group Leader was very informative throughout and adapted well to my deafness supporting me and making sure I was aware of all instructions e.g., setting off times etc. The Group Leader also found some good places for the stops each day and some lunches and evening meals were lovely. The weather was good which was a bonus for us all! The pace some days was tough with steep inclines and descends, so I walked with sticks which were a great help. I would suggest that training is essential for this trek and a pair of worn in footwear. The only downside was Air Europa the airline for the 4 flights. They lost my case on the way home and then when it arrived 2 days later it was damaged. They also did not honour the prebooked and paid for seats on the aeroplane.
Going to the Finistère on our free day "The end of the World!!" It felt like a good way to end a wonderful adventure....
The Group Leader was patient and informative. Nothing was too much trouble and he made sure I was awake every day as there were no telephones in the rooms for a morning call and being deaf, I did not hear my mobile alarm. He worked hard to make me feel included in the group and was very supportive to anyone in the group that needed it.
Don't pack too much! Do your training beforehand. Wear in your footwear. Have a decent backpack that fits well. Be prepared for all weathers. Take a hat and sunscreen and drink plenty of water each day.
Had a fabulous week walking the Amalfi Coast. Great guide and the most amazing scenery on a range of different walks. Whilst not lengthy or technically difficult some of the walks were challenging in terms of descent via steps and exposure for anyone with no head for heights. Great organization throughout and the family run hotel was very good with excellent food and service. My bonus was a week in October in Italy with fantastic weather and great company. Highly recommended.
The Walk of the Gods.
Excellent skilled, knowledgeable and extremely hard working.
Make sure you are up to these walks as you will descent several thousand steps during the week and the Amalfi Coast is steep and rugged.
I am still surprise how the breakfast, lunch and dinner could be so sublime when we was at the Inca Trail. To make the food in a tent and more or less at the floor.
That I could "The Inca Trail" which was not easy for me, because my breathing was very much the challenge. To see the nature along the trail and how it change on the way.
We have Julio Llancay as tours leader which was an fantastic leader. Always was the tings ready as bus, restaurants, the other guide etc. All VERY well planned. As a person very well balanced even when many persons want to talk to him at the same time.
You can do it just walk as a turtle!
Great trip in a beautiful country. So much to see and do.
Petra was beyond anything I’d imagined, but the time spent in the Wadi Rum was my favourite part of the trip. I loved the beauty and peace of the desert, watching the sunset from the camp and the starry skies.
Muayad was a great leader. He looked after us well and was so knowledgeable and passionate about his country.
Go a day early if you can. The group flight arrived at the hotel at 2am, and then you’re up at 6:30 and the trip is full on from there!
Great trip with Abdullah as our highly knowledgeable guide, organised and with a great tolerance of Brit’s sense of humour! We had an excellent group and Ab helped us all gel very quickly. Exodus’s organisation was spot on. The tour is busy at times and needs to be in order to take in the many sites that are just amazing. There are balancing relaxing periods when staying at the places for more than one night.
Gerash, Petra -the first sight of which lives up to expectations, The view from the sacrificial peak was just fabulous.
Ab was the best. Answered all our many questions and got us to places at times we needed to be there. He had so much knowledge and expressed himself well. He also took us to some excellent eating places. He dealt well with any issues and he kindly contacted us after the tour had ended to ask if we needed medical assistance as my husband and I both were ill after leaving the tour as we had stayed on in Amman for a few days. (We didn't but it was a reassuring gesture). Thank you Ab.
Take good strong walking shoes (boots not really necessary) but you need more than soft open toe sandals. Changing money from a different currency was not an issue. Followed the recommended packing list and we were not missing anything. The number of days is well wort while compared to the shorter trips. We had two full days in Petra which was good to really take it all in and walk everywhere. It's big.
