A fantastic country to visit

Colombia is the second most bio-diverse country in the world behind Brazil. The landscape is truly breath-taking. Hilly / mountainous and very green and lush. A bit like New Zealand only with lots more trees, really beautiful. We felt safe the entire time, it’s reputation for being a “dodgy place” is no longer justified, the days of drugs and violence are in the past.

Most Inspirational Moment

Many things. The Tatacoa desert (not strictly a desert) is an amazing landscape, the likes of which I have never seen before. Also really loved Communa 13 in Medellin and Cartgena.

Thoughts on Group Leader

David was simply the best guide I have ever had, really went out of his way to be helpful, such a genuinely nice guy.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Book it, you won't be disappointed. Be sure to take binoculars, there are so many birds here!

Discover Morocco

I really enjoyed the tour and seeing Morocco this way. Long days on the bus, but so worth it to take in the sights and scenery along the way. Exceptional guide and the logistics are handled extremely well. We were able to enjoy the trip knowing that all of the small details were taken care of.

Most Inspirational Moment

Marrakesh was amazing and the Sahara was beautiful. The final stop in Ouirgane was beautiful and a relaxing way to close out the trip.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ayoub was really amazing. He led us with 100% professionalism and was extremely kind and knowledgeable. The Ramadan holiday must have been quite challenging for him to be energetic and present for the first 6 days, but he was doing a great job at all times. This group had a huge age range and he managed the 20 to 80 year olds with great ease.

Highlights of Kerala

The trip had just the right mix of cultural experiences & free time. Our guide, Biju, made the trip. His knowledge, story telling, help & advice meant we felt safe & supported, and could concentrate on just enjoying the tour. Without him it wouldn’t have been as good.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking safari in Periyar, public laundry in Kochin, fish market in Kovalam, the hills in Thekkady, the houseboat tour, weighing the babies in the snake temple, cooking with the family.... and all the unexpected moments- religious celebrations in the street, local children, the meals, the sunsets, the bonding as a group.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The success of the trip was entirely down to Biju. He was organised & clearly communicated the itinerary each day. He helped answer questions, solve issues & pre-empted our needs. He made sure the activities were enjoyable for all 4 people on the trip, catering to different abilities & interests with care & humour. His stories & cultural knowledge really bought the places to life & gave us a unique insight into the life of the local people. I would highly recommend him as a tour leader.

He was passionate and knowledgeable about Albania and shared this with us building a clear picture of Albania's history and importance in Europe. The love for his country really shone through. He has a cracking sense of humour and really made the trip special. A huge asset to Exodus, keeping us all on track, well fed and happy.

We had an excellent 8 days trip in Vietnam with many highlights. We met new people & most importantly had a fantastic guide called Lucky, who was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Doing the cooking class & lunch with the local ladies was super special. A lovely touch!

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was very knowledgeable about what we were seeing. He had a good rapport with all the tour members and a great sense of humour!........We had a lot of fun.

An amazing experience

I enjoyed this trip so much, we saw so many animals in the beautiful National parks and the lodges were comfortable and relaxing at the end of the day. Each day was very full and there is a lot of moving from place to place, but that meant we experienced different environments and were able to see a great variety of birds and animals. It was also interesting when we passed through towns bustling with people, on Sundays children in their best clothes going to church, lots of little stalls with fruit and veg, children going to school and Masai herding their cows, sheep and goat by the side of the busy roads.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were many, but maybe seeing Mt Kilimanjaro appear from the clouds as I walked to breakfast one morning. Also when I startled a giraffe that I thought was a statue as I walked by in the half light!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our driver/guide was full of interesting information and kept us all informed and on time. The vehicle was always clean and there were only four in each one so it was easy to get a good view. He managed to spot a variety of animals and was able to answer all our questions fully and clearly. He was always very calm and experienced and made me feel absolutely safe.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This week is very full on and there is virtually no down time. The rains had started so we could not access all the tracks due to flooding and the potholes were little craters. We got caught in a massive traffic jam, but that is part of the experience. The vehicles are very comfortable and not cramped at all but on the travel days I suggest you take a snack in your bag, just in case you are very late for lunch. There was always plenty of drinking water. The Carnivore Restaurant that we visit on day 4 has a very delicious and varied menu for non meat eaters.

Fantastic trip

It was a beautiful ride, every day a little bit different. Joao was an excellent guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

The amazing Atlantic views at Mira and Sao Pedro de Moel

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent. Told us each day what to expect with expert knowledge and made me as a fairly inexperienced cyclist at my ease. It is important to be prepared and confident though.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for long days but the coffee stops are great. All restaurants are well chosen so beautiful meals.
