Fresh from a week in Jordan where i had a faboulous time. Brilliantly organised by Exodus and well looked after out there. Very happy to have gone and would recommend trip to everyone!
Petra and Wadi Rum were the highlights, nature at its best!
Ali was brilliant, friendly, knowledgable, funny - everything the make the tour even better.
for december time, pack light but warm clothes can get very cold, especially in the Wadi Rum. Enjoy the scenery and the friendliness of the people.
This was an excellent holiday, accommodation was good, food was excellent, teaching, terrain and company all siperb. The staff are very friendly the instructors Chris and Ilse are very experienced in XC skiing and taught us well and went the extra mile to making sure we had fuind and learnt XC skiing at the same time. With additional stretching after a hard day, in the mountians or on the recognised routes and XC lessons in the evening.The scenery and history is tremendous and this brief glimpse of Norway that will have me coming back for more.Will definitely be back.
I had several but I did
Ilse and Chris are excellent teachers in XC and are clearly passionate and enthusnjnn about the sport and I could ask any question about XC, the terrain and the history of the local area.
To enjoy this holiday dewfinitely take the advice and have a few sessions in the gym before you go is a worthwhile investment. If you want to go to the museum in Rjuken ask the guides how to get there and when to go.
Amazing trip that explored many different aspects of Costa Rica, and enabled us not only to see colourful birds and new animals but also to gain some understanding of the country and its people. Action packed but well balanced with plenty of choice in things to do.
We were on a boat outside Tortuguera when we spotted an anhinga (a relative of the cormorant) with something trapped in its beak. Primo our boatman pulled in amd managed to capture the bird and members of the group cut free a scouring pad that had become entangled in its beak. Without that action it would have drowned trying to fish or died of starvation. This action embodied the concern for the environment that we saw in many places. Later on a catamaran in the Pacific we saw a pair of mating sea turtles (poor things, all that ocean and they had spectators....)
Gustavo was an excellent group leader - tireless, cheerful and always informative and helpful.
As well as the expected heat and humidity, be prepared to be cold(!) in the high cloudforest, and always be ready for rain!
A full on two week trip around a beautiful country
I really enjoyed the homestay on the island, other highlights were the Ballestas Islands, Machu Picchu, the condors, and the amazing scenery that we had throughout the trip.
Carlos was great, timings were on, good restaurant recommendations and information about places
This is a really busy trip with lots of very early starts, long days on the bus and therefore early nights. There was a correct balance of guided bits and time to wander, but not much down time at the hotels. Be organised with your packing, and do laundry in Cuzco. ATMs are widely available, also banks to change money but USD must be in pristine condition. Average cost for a decent evening meal in a nice restaurant was £15 - £20. Cuzco handicraft market is the best place to buy souvenirs - eg woollen products, on the whole trip. Altitude sickness wasn't a problem if you drank plenty water and rested up. Only thing missing was a half day walk in one of the beautiful canyons. Take fewer clothes than you think you might need.
A trip of a lifetime, stunning scenery, some of the friendliest people I have ever met who have so little but give so much!! One off the bucket list. AWESOME
So many to be honest but here's a taster. The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla..... an emotional rollercoaster. Our first view of Everest. The valley walk and climb up to Namche Bazarr & our last beer! The village of Thyjangboche, the monastery and a sunset that was just incredible across Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse and Ama Dablam. A truly special and spiratual place that will always be a part of me. Chukpo Lari a memorial to all the climbers who have passed on Everest. Finally the final trek to Base Camp and the climb to Kala Patthar. The scenery and views are breathless, excuse the pun!!
Passang was a true leader!! Leading from the front, back or middle of the group. EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE, highly respected and could not have led or looked after us any better. Thank you.
Bladder packs are fine until you get to Gorak Shep. Take diamox!! Enjoy
I have never been on an organised group holiday trip before, but have travelled independently regularly, so it was with some trepidation that I joined the trip to Evia. I need not have worried- the company was fantastic and having a knowledgable guide brought the walking experience alive in a way that I would never have acheived travelling by myself.
The day climbing up Mount Ohi to the Temple of the Dragons, then the long descent back to the coast. The mist/cloud came and went as we explored the temple- it has been there for the same time the stones have stood at Stone Henge and you imagine all the generations, nationalities, and motivations of the people who have visited the Temple of the Dragons over the millenia.
Fantastic! His local knowledge, contacts and passion for the area really made the experience memorable for me.
Wear a good pair of boots.
Overall a fabulous trip – expect alot of time travelling (hazard of the desire to go further afield than just the usual ‘Golden Circle’ combined with ever changing weather conditions), but then you get to see some incredibly beautiful sights.When you come home and think about all the wonderful lasting images you have seen and things you have done you will wonder how it all fitted into 5 days!
Viewing photos of stars taken in the pitch black - we had never taken time delay shots at night before so seeing amazing images of the glacial lagoons and the milky way was nothing short of astonishing, (with a hint of the Northern Lights thrown in that was tricky to see with the naked eye, fab results!). We found our fellow exodus-explorers all really helpful with hints & tips on night-time and low light photography, all much appreciated!
Fantastic. Kristjan is a man than can do everything. Tour leader, crampon wielding, bus driving, (& what driving conditions! Ice, ice ice, snow storms ...!), biscuit supplying, magic lunch producer, hot drinks maker, lava caving instructor, information souce, photography improvised genius. Is there nothing this man can not do? Friendly, knowledgeable and never seems to need sleep. Kristjan deserves a gold medal for energy and improvisation!Kristjan is just the nicest and enthusiastically most sincere and generous person you could ever hope to meet.
Don't over pack evening gear. This trip is all about getting out there and cramming in as much as you can. You do cover big distances so have long periods of time travelling on the bus but the scenery changes every few K's so you just dont tire of the incredible scenery. Take a tripod if you're into photography and a small low level light torch so you can see where your gear/shutter release is!
You really feel like you have entered another world – the landscape is wild, barren and astonishingly beautiful.
The view from Jebel Siroua is just stunning - you have an amazing 360 degree view of the craggy mountain ranges and the snow topped High Atlas mountains in the distance. It's an incredible landscape - dusty mountains and a clear sky. It's so peaceful, empty and so very far from any kind of human life. It looks kind of lunar - it's spectacular. And, at night, the starry sky is worth being a bit cold for!
The group leader is great - he is passionate about what he does, is knowledgable and enthusiastic and is great at bringing people together. As he is local he knows the area, the people and the history of his country really well.
If you are travelling in winter (I went 1 - 8 Dec), invest is a really good goose down feather jacket. Mine was lent to me by a friend and was the envy of all! It can get pretty cold at night so make sure you have enough warm clothes, and, it's warm in the day so definitely bring the suncream. And a spare camera battery... That's something I regret not having!
On the whole, the trip was wonderful, notwithstanding quite a lot of rain and grey skies (detracting from some of the photogrsphic opportunities).I would recommend spending a bit more time in a couple of places at the expense of removing Golfito. The weather was terrible in Golfito (not uncommon we were told) and even when we were out there really wasn’t much to see there although we did see a fair amount en route to and from there.
1. Seing a nestful of turtle hatchlings scampering off to the Atlantic Ocean at Tortuguero2. Seeing toucans close up3. The various boat trips.. Tortuguero, Manuel Antionio4. Seeing colourful birds close up 5. The wonderful red-eyed frogs6. All the other animal life where we could see, and photogragh, them
He was excellent in every way
Step into Cuba and step into Dr Who’s TARDIS. Your senses will be bombarded by such a variety of experiences that you sometimes won’t know when you are, never mind where you are! 18th century colonial Spain? Early 20th century American mafia? 1950s American cars? A sprinkling (thankfully) of 1970s Russia? Or out in the countryside are you in 19th century anywhere, where the main form of personal transport is by horse and cart, and ox-driven ploughs still work the fields? One thing you can be sure about is that it will keep changing as you keep travelling.
Learning about the history and culture of Cuba is just fascinating because there's probably now nowhere on earth like it. "Viva le Revolution" say the signs, but wasn't that all over 50 years ago? Well maybe, but it's still the driving force behind the country. Cuba is in a whole series of time-warps which leave you constantly thinking about where it's coming from and where it's going. However it is changing, with some small-scale private B&Bs and restaurants knocking spots off the state-owned ones. Havana might just be the coolest city in the world to hang out in - and we aren't "hangers-out". You really can spend all day in the squares drinking fabulous coffee, watching the world go by and enjoying all the street entertainment. Then there are all those amazing Spanish colonial cities, not to mention the Bay of Pigs!
Fantastic. He was well-organised, educated, friendly, helpful, flexible and willing to talk about anything we wanted to. Like, we suspect, many Cubans, he was both proud of his country's many achievements yet frustrated by the limits on personal aspiration. People like him will be the driving force behind the new Cuba.
Just don't expect too much from this developing country, and don't forget to take your sense of humour with you. If your hotel room has both hot water and lights that work then you've probably hit the jackpot. If not then there's little point complaining because it won't change anything! Accept the country as it is and drink in the experiences you have while you can still have them. After all you could have gone to any Caribbean island, so you chose Cuba for a reason.
