Everest Base Camp TNT170413
The trip was exceptionally well organized. The group leader and guides were totally in control and were very knowledgeable on the subject of the trek. They were also always in the immediate vicinity to help anyone in the group who needed help.
Most Inspirational Moment
Reaching Everest base camp and getting to know all the members of our excellent group
Thoughts on Group Leader
Five star.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Carry some extra food that you prefer to eat as the menu is rather limited

Absolutely wonderfull!!
As Belgians it was our first experience with Exodus Travel but it was an wonderfull experience. We absolutely loved the full trip, the magnificent nature every day again, the nice atmosphere within the group, the local guides who took good responsability.
The combination of both countries, lakes, volcanoes, mountains, vieuws all over….the beauty just didn’t stop!
Very good bikes (as new!) with front suspension.
Most Inspirational Moment
Every day was a new and beautiful suprise.
The possibility of climbing an active volcano with some members of our group was unique, very special!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Thank you to all the guides and organisation.

Walking in Puglia and Matera
The holiday was all that I hoped it would be. I’ve learnt so much about an area of Italy where I hadn’t been before. Good company with mix of ages, great accommodation, easy walking and fantastic guide.
Most Inspirational Moment
Matera was beautiful with hidden house and churches in caves. Great hotel.
Alberobello - I hadn't realised there would be so many Trulli houses.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Amazing - from the start to the end of the trip,she informed us of all the local history. She provided help with restaurants and even arranged for two packed lunches whilst we were walking. Great local knowledge which was invaluable.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Definitely one for your short list!

Great walks, beautiful island
It was my first walking trip with Exodus so I was not sure how easy or difficult the walks would be for me based on the moderate rating. It turned out I managed just fine. As usual with Exodus trips everything was very well organised, hotels were clean and comfortable, food was good and plenty and the company delightful
Most Inspirational Moment
Even though very walk could be the highlight of the trip, if I were to select one, it would be the middle part of the Porto Cruz walk on day 2, a traverse of a mountain face dropping towards the ocean. I think the day 4 could have been the top pick if it were not for the weather. We did not see much that day as we walked mostly in a cloud and fog but that is something we have to accept when hiking in the mountains.And it was still a good day
Thoughts on Group Leader
Andre is a pure delight. From the first moment he picked me up at the airport I knew he enjoys his jobs and takes pride of his island. He readily shared his vast knowledge of Madeira. He liked to joke but he also made sure that we were always safe and comfortable.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Trekking poles helped me a lot, especially during the descents on day 4.

Walking in Tuscany
Fantastic trip, walking up Tuscan mountains in the foothills and higher of the Apennine and Apuane ranges that surround the Garfgnana Valley, north of Lucca. Staying in simple but attractive accommodation and going off in the van to the beginning of each day’s splendid and demanding walk in great weather, then returning to shower/dinner/wine was the perfect combination of exercise/being outdoors and civilisation.
Most Inspirational Moment
So many fabulous views -- not one more than any other. Loved both the long views across the valley from the mountains tops but also the sun shining through the trees on the nice mountain paths and the charming old villages and towns we passed through.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Sara Bull was simply excellent in all ways -- superbly fit, professional, knowledgeable but also going totally above and beyond as well. Kind, fun, patient, generous and incredibly devoted and hardworking. A very special person. We all loved her.

Cycling Vietnam
What a fantastic trip. Cycling Vietnam was a great way to see an amazing country with its stunning scenery and really friendly people. Our tour leader Long was superb throughout with excellent organisation and support from this team.
Most Inspirational Moment
Every day brought new experiences and sights from the busy streets of Ho Chi Min to the quite backwaters and fishing villages we cycled through. Hoi An was a great location for a stop over.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Long was a great tour leader. His organisation was excellent and he was very knowledgeable about Vietnam and the areas we travelled through. Great sense of humour and worked well with his support team ensuring that during the cycling days we were frequently fed and watered.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This is a great way to see Vietnam. Accommodation was good throughout and no safety concerns at all. The cycling was rated as moderate, but in reality was verging on easy and the only challenging part (if you wanted it to be) was Hoi Van Pass. Be prepared for some long stints in the coach though......

Highlights of Morocco
This was the perfect tour, giving us insight into the history and culture of Morocco. It was quite varied: we visited souks in Meknes, Fez and Marrakech, the Sahara, Todra Gorge, a remote village in the High Atlas Mountains, and the Portuguese town of Essaouira on the coast. We stayed in a range of accommodations, from comfortable hotels to fairly basic but perfectly acceptable homestays (and a camp in the Sahara).
Most Inspirational Moment
The evening and night in the desert. But that is one amongst many.

Abdoul was fantastic. He was quickly able to bond our group of 16. He was always kind and helpful; and he was fun to be with.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't expect a luxury holiday. But it is a trip that introduces you to a very different culture--so deeply interesting.

Superb action packed trip
This was simply the best trip we have been on. We loved every element. Cycling through the back roads allows you to get under the skin of the country and the people – both were simply beautiful!
It was a triumph of organisation and was superbly led.
Most Inspirational Moment
Every day had it's own highlight but spending 2 nights at a beach hotel on the Indian Ocean at the end of the holiday after many days of tough riding was particularly memorable.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was simply superb. Knowledgable, organised, personable with a great sense of humour. The best we have ever experienced.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Worthwhile to come with a reasonable level of fitness.
