Walking in Sardinia
Our guide, Michele, was well-prepared for each day’s hike. He went out of his way to ensure we were safe and provided us with very interesting information about Sardinia’s culture, flora and food. He was also extremely helpful in terms of making arrangements for a private driver after the hike ended. I would hike with him again, and I would definitely hike in Sardinia again because of our positive experience this time.
Discover the Baltics
I like that Exodus uses local leaders and suppliers, the content is always varied with a mixture of different activities/sights to see. Leaders are always very helpful in terms of individual interests. And the other travellers are always interesting.
Most Inspirational Moment
Without a doubt the tour leader - Petras Staselis - who told us about his life under the USSR. I enjoyed travelling through the miles of pine forests and the local landscapes. The art nouveau buildings in Riga were superb, and the Plokstine cold war museum was fascinating.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Petras was very organised, lots of suggestions about what to do and where to go in our free time, very good at sharing his experience of life in the USSR and very knowledgeable about the history of all 3 countries.
Discover Costa Rica
Very enjoyable experience. Very varied itinerary. Excellent local guide. A lovely group of people. We saw almost all the species we had hoped to see in Costa Rica. The hotels and lodges were very good in excellent locations.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing all the animals and birds.
Thoughts on Group Leader
She was so enthusiastic, warm, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Cycling Puglia & Matera
It was a relaxing escape cycling in a beautiful location, staying in unique accommodation annd with excellent attentive guides.
Most Inspirational Moment
Many things - laughter and smiles in the group, Trulli village, swimming, delicious food, beautiful stone buildings and the overall relaxed atmosphere, Matera buildings including hotel built as caves in the valley sides. For me a big highlight was the cycling experience, saved by Leo and Sasa arranging an e-bike so I could enjoy the trip and keep up with the group.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Sasa was great. He created the holiday atmosphere, taking the stress out of everything and allowing us to relax and enjoy a great holiday.
Unforgettable 2 weeks in Vietnam!!
This was the most incredible two weeks walking through Northern Vietnam. The trip offered the perfect balance of time in vibrant Hanoi and Sapa, while also taking us deep into the remote communities and villages of Ha Giang and the far north. Every day brought stunning scenery—endless rice terraces, dramatic mountains, and beautiful landscapes!
Most Inspirational Moment
One of the highlights was how immersive the experience felt. We were the only tour group on the trails, passing locals going about their daily lives—working the rice fields, walking buffalo, or children playing between villages. It felt authentic, peaceful, and incredibly special. The food deserves a special mention, absolutely mouth‑watering! Every meal was a highlight, and the warmth and generosity of the people we met made the experience even more memorable. My most inspiring moment was being welcomed into a local family’s home, where they prepared lunch for us. Despite very limited shared language, we connected through laughter and kindness—it was unforgettable.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader, Linh, truly made this trip exceptional. He is hands down the best tour leader I’ve ever had on any guided trip. He was 100% committed at all times—constantly looking after us, sharing his home, his culture, and his personal stories of Vietnam. He went above and beyond every single day, and his humour added so much to the group experience. I genuinely can’t imagine exploring this region without him.
Advice for Potential Travellers
bring trekking poles, breathable clothing, and plenty of water—it’s hot and humid!
Walking in Andalucia
Loved the area and the guide was exceptional. He organised coffee in the village twice and a super tapas lunch at another village on our route. His knowledge was remarkable and he was extremely helpful.
Most Inspirational Moment
Difficult to chose one in particular but loved being in the local community for coffees and lunch. All of the walks were lovely and at the level described.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Michael was an excellent leader. He worked out very early in who needed rests and always ensured that they had they had ample time for these. He set the pace to suit the group he was working with. His extraordinary knowledge of history, geography, flora and fauna of the area, the area geology, climate change effects, local communities, products grown locally, the walks were always described accurately each evening, what was needed, temperatures to expect, water stops, timings always spot on.
Cycling Vietnam
Excellent trip. Lamb was a fantastic guide and the trip was really well organised with regular stops to ensure everyone stayed hydrated in 38 degrees.
Most Inspirational Moment
The cycling days through unspoilt Vietnam
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader was excellent. Always mixing with the group, sharing knowledge, and always ensuring we were fully briefed for every part of the trip ensuring that the cycling was safe eg warning of pot holes, dangers of the down hills etc
Discover Istanbul
Well organised trip, great very helpful guide who went out of her way to meet our needs
Most Inspirational Moment
The Blue mosque, the palaces and the Basilica Cistern. Also enjoyed trying the street food and the local restaurants we were taken to, which we wouldn’t have ventured into on our own
Thoughts on Group Leader
Melissa was excellent on all fronts. She was extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about her country and its features. She was very helpful to all group members and very aware of people’s needs. If anyone had any queries on any front she was quick to try and sort it out.
Walking the Island of Madeira
We had a fantastic guide and the entire trip was fairly seamless. Having transfers to and from the airport and all accommodations taken care of was wonderful. The itinerary was great, and our guide knew how to make the most of it. Bruno was amazing!
Most Inspirational Moment
Getting to see all the different areas of beauty within Madeira. Each hike was different and absolutely beautiful.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Bruno was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He clearly loves Madeira and knows so much about it. He was able to provide suggestions for local places to explore in the evening. Our trip was definitely better because of him!
Cycle Morocco's Great South
Everything in the trip went exactly as advertised. The treatment we received and the staff assigned to guide us were all exemplary.
Most Inspirational Moment
The scenery. The treatment by the Exodus guide + staff.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mohammed was excellent in all conceivable aspects of the trip. He consistently when above and beyond all reasonable expectations to ensure our safety, comfort and satisfaction. In addition, despite my understanding that the other three members of the team (the second cycling guide plus the two drivers) were relatively inexperienced, Mohammed also managed to train and coordinate them as a well-oiled team, in addition to his primary role of looking after the 'paying guests'.
