Exceeded all expectations!

I did this trip solo in early April 2025. A gift to myself. And what a great gift it turned out to be. Exodus was great at communication, all questions and planning. Especially important as this was my first such trip and first use of Exodus. I now know why they are an award winning company. Our guides were simply the best! They made all 16 riders feel welcome and supported in every way. The routes were very well planned and the daily briefings meant we knew what to expect each day. Our guides shared their local knowledge along the routes and ensured we visited coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants that were authentic! And there was always time to savour the best Portuguese custard tarts. We were blessed with warm sunshine as we peddled our way along small villages, through forests, alongside lagoons and stunning coastal vistas. All hotels were very good. Fine accommodations! The route has a few challenges for sure for the average recreational cyclist but the pace, support and encouragement of our guides and our terrific group of fellow cyclists made it all enjoyable! A stand out feature were the two picnics provided by our guides via our collective group kitty fund. Delicious, healthy food and zero single use plastic. I’m already thinking about my next Exodus adventure and I highly recommend this Porto to Lisbon ride as a fantastic way to see Portugal up close.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing how we all made it on the day of the very big coastal hills and our last day of 5 with the 12 or so short climbs. I was inspired by the group’s good humour and positive attitude throughout the 5 days biking!

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was the very best! Can’t imagine a better one.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be sure to be fit enough to enjoy it. In my view, you need to be able to ride at least 40km over 3 hours and also have some ability to both ascent and descent sizeable hills. If not… that’s ok. There are e-bikes which still offer the pleasure of the ride.

An amazing family experience

A wonderful way to see the Amalfi Coast. Our guide was a local legend and knew everyone, everywhere – meaning he gave us a real authentic taste of Italian life. Food, scenery, culture, shops, swimming, walking, cookery… we tasted it all.

Most Inspirational Moment

Wow that's hard to pick. From sampling the amazing food at the hotel to walking the Path of the Gods. There was inspiration around every corner, every day.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Severio was fantastic. So good with the children. They miss him now we're back home.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go prepared with an extra couple of notches on your belt buckles. The best food ever!

Magical trip

Under the expert leadership of our guide, Ibrahim, we hiked through the stark beauty of the rocky Anti Atlas Mountains where we encountered only the inhabitants of remote villages.

Most Inspirational Moment

On the top of Mt Jebel Aklim with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ibrahim was an exemplary leader He loved his job and it showed. He always put safety first and was constantly adjusting our route according to the local weather conditions.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Despite it being April, our first three days were plagued with bitterly cold winds especially at night. Take thermals and warm layers as well as your warmest sleeping bag. And don’t forget ear plugs to block out the inevitable snorers and the noisy, incessant rustling of the tents in the wind.

Walking in Northern Cyprus

Plenty of sunshine, history and sea views alongside a nice hotel.

Most Inspirational Moment

Excursion to Salamis, Famagusta etc on free day.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Everything very well-organised: Gizer an excellent guide.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go in the spring or the autumn when the weather is not too hot.

A Magical Experience

A magical country that has hidden treasures waiting for you to discover, behind hidden doors of monasteries lie secrets and colour only few have seen, its a must visit country that will stay in your heart with memories to treasure forever.

Most Inspirational Moment

The hike to the tigers nest was magical, as we got higher there was mist covering the monastery but after some rain while inside we were rewarded with clear skies to see the full beauty of the monastery. The Paro festival was stunning watching the monks in their colourful silks, carefully rehearsed dances and masks was pure theatre and also watching the local people happily share food with each other and seeing the young monks wandering freely with public and also having the chance to wear a traditional Kira. Meeting local people on the walks that we did and dinner at the farmhouse was a lovely insight into how the real people live and to taste their produce that they grow and serve to you in their home. its joy to be in Bhutan as you are greeted everywhere with warm smiles that make you feel at home.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Kinley was wonderful, a kind thoughtful leader who arranged for not 1 but 2 birthday cakes one for me and another member of the group. His love of his country is clear and he is a joy to talk to and ask more questions about everything. I have made a friend for life in Kinley and will defiantly return to explore more of this beautiful country as this trip only covers a tiny area of Bhutan and I want to see and experience more thanks to Kinley's contagious passion for his country.

Advice for Potential Travellers

you wont regret visiting this amazing country do take a raincoat in case of rain at tigers nest. Take a gift for the visit to the farmhouse- I took tea which was gratefully received go with an open mind and return with a heart full of peace, joy and a longing to return

A great holiday

We had a wonderful holiday not least because of the tour leader Miguel aka Mike who was knowledgeable and passionate about the culture and natural environment of Andalucia and thoughtful and generous in the way he engaged with every member of the group. The farmhouse provided good food, always delivered with a smile. The views across the valley are stunning. I particularly enjoyed hearing and seeing the variety of bird life, expertly pointed out by Miguel and others in the group. The walks themselves were interesting and varied. The group also bonded well together with lots of stories and laughter.

The walks were interesting and varied. My personal highlights were a picnic lunch in the Grounds of an old monastery and the final walk of the week which not only was a beautiful trek up a local mountain but also allowed us to look out on the whole area we had walked around in the week giving a real sense of completion.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent. Miguel clearly cares about the people in the group and delivers his knowledge with a light touch, being then able to go deeper for those with more specialist knowledge and interests.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The 2 grading is right, although because of the hilly setting, more moderate than leisurely.

A Wonderful Adventure

This was a thoroughly wonderful adventure that exceeded my expectations. We had a lovely group of folks to travel with and a fantastic tour leader.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Tu was a wonderful leader. He always went the extra mile to make sure everyone and everything was taken care of. Entire trip ran smoothly and it was highly educational and also a lot of fun.

High and Low on the Amalfi Coast

Fantastic views of the Amalfi Coast were always in sight. Three of the hikes have a couple of thousand stairs each which made mornings a little less comfortable until our calves became acclimatized. The recognizable landmarks helped with orientation when we caught sight of them from varying perspectives on different days, thus providing a strong sense of the geography of the area. There are abundant olives, lemons, oranges, figs, and other fruits in terraced farms along the way, with occasional clusters of pale houses in the larger towns we visited.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the highest point on Vesuvius, and walking the ridgeline of Capri

Thoughts on Group Leader

Nico was humorous, informative, and took time to indicate landmarks that we would eventually view from multiple perspectives. He is an excellent representative of the Exodus ideal.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be ready for stairs of all heights and lengths to allow access to constant coastal views.

A hectic overview

There was so much crammed into this trip – I saw a lot of Portugal but didn’t get a true feel for Portugal. Not much down time and a lot of road traveling

Most Inspirational Moment

I enjoyed the day at Douro Valley. It was relaxed with the boat excursion and the lunch at the winery, and the group had time to relax and interact.

Thoughts on Group Leader

I have been on other Exodus tours and also from other companies. Though she was very nice and caring, also the most bossy, disorganized, and frustrating. A view shared by other travelers - who actually stopped the tour and complained. She became irritated if things changed or were not as she planned. Very controlling to the point of ordering us dinner. Did not stick to the itinerary and we spent too much time wandering aimlessly.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you just want a quick run around Portugal - its a good introduction to then come back on another tour or on your own to places that seemed interesting. Be aware of a lot of travel by van, and ours was cramped.

Loved it!

We’d do it again! Loved the group we travelled with. They made it a great trip along with our group leader Francesco. Sicily is beautiful!!!

Most Inspirational Moment

Buffalo farm & tour of orchards, and foods, of course

Thoughts on Group Leader

Francesco was the best and so was our driver Franco!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Give it a try, but plan on going on a diet when you return home. Pastas, breads, cheeses and wines were Devine!
