Walking the Amalfi Coast
My husband and I took a tour on May 7th. We thought it was absolutely amazing ! Our tour guide Suzy was the best tour guide one could wish for. She did everything above and beyond our hopes, She saw to our safety, conveniences, fun, at times it seemed she even ordered great weather for walking (ha-ha) ! Had an amazing great time. Will definitely do it again. Will try to get on tour were Suzy is the tour leader.

The entire trip was amazingly organized, the sites we visited were very special. Can't tell what was the best.
Thoughts on Group Leader
In addition to what I already said about our tour leader in the summary, she also gave us a ton of most interesting information regarding history of the place, cuisine, background, etc. Made walking easier and more fun.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure you bring waterproof clothes and shoes. May come in handy !

Matera and Puglia
It was a wonderful combination of walking and sight seeing. An opportunity to see the real Italy, taste the wonderful food in this region and experience the friendliness of the locals. All meticulously organised by our incredible guide Marinella who did everything she could to make our holiday special.
Most Inspirational Moment
No single thing... Just loved every minute... Even in the rain!!!
Loved Matera- such an unusual place and yet so sophisticated.
Loved the farmhouse in Ostuni- such a quaint place
Loved the wild flowers everywhere...
Loved the trulli in Alberobello and the dinner on the last night to Marinella's friends' farmhouse - what a feast!!
Lecce is definitely worth a visit and quite nice to have a day off from walking!
Thoughts on Group Leader
How many superlatives do I have space for? Incredible, friendly, funny, caring, organised, informative...I will miss her- Marinella absolutely made our holiday!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take walking poles
Take a proper waterproof jacket

Inca Trail and beyond !
A combined trip of the Inca trail followed up by a stay in the Peruvian Amazon
Most Inspirational Moment
I can see why the first view of Machu Pichu as you come through the sun Gate is often given as the stand out moment of the 4 day Ica Trail ... and it IS pretty amazing!!
HOWEVER, there are two other key moments for me:
1: Reaching the summit of Dead Women's Peak. By lunchtime of the 2nd day ( after 4 hours of tough trek ) I was beginning to doubt my resolve in reaching the peak but after a good lunch and plenty of encouragement I pushed on to reach the top. Then of course there was still the 1 3/4 hr trek down the other side to camp !
2: The afternoon of Day 3. Such marvellous views in glorious sun which was then rounded off by coming to camp looking out across the mountain tops ( and the back of Machu Pichu, in the distance ) and the clouds below
Thoughts on Group Leader
Wilmer was excellent. He gave us plenty of information while in Cusco to prepare for the main Inca trek. He had a great manner - a good balance of informal / friendly / informative. He made sure that everything ran smoothly at each campsite and with the porters and was always able to provide detailed information on not just the Inca history ( and various sites that we came to on the trek ) but also flora and fauna. His English was very good and he was supportive of those of us not charging on at the front of the group !
Advice for Potential Travellers
Firstly. TAKE trekking poles. Not only do they ease the impact on your knees but they offer confidence when coming up and down the big stone steps of the trail ( which are far from even and could easily lead to trips or falls )
Secondly. GO FOR IT. I am only moderately fit and completing the trail was a huge sense of achievement. I did do some longer trek practise in UK and that was useful as you are walking for long periods each day.
Mosquito repellent: There was me thinking this was only needed for the amazon but the little blighters are around on the Inca trail as well !

Very enjoyable trip, expertly guided by Alan, taking in stunning scenery along pretty quite roads with great food and company along the way.

Handling the climbs - I was a bit worried about those beforehand as I've never been on a cycling holiday before and don't go out with a cycling club at home

Excellent leader, very patient and attentive.

Dolomites, Lake Garda and Venice Ride
My first Exodus trip and very impressive. Extremely well organised, a high quality product.
Most Inspirational Moment
The first days cycling with fantastic views of the Dolomites and the final walking tour of venice.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Michelle was first class. Gave 110% from the moment he met us at the airport to the last day of the trip. Although leading a large group he managed to ensure his approach was person centred. Organised excellent group meals (lunch and dinner), ensuring we were fully briefed on the local delicacies on the menu. Extremely competent as a cycle leader ensuring 100% safety on the the roads and cohesion of the group throughout the whole trip.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Nice relaxing trip, not too arduous so don't worry unnecessarily if you feel you are not fit enough.

Cycle Romania
In summary, I found the trip excellent.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were many inspirational moments from climbing my last hill - my legs insisted I start there - to the complete effort by Raluca & Radu to show us 'their Romania' and trying to help us understand the complex 1000 year history of Transylvania and the effects of Communism on the whole of the country from 1947 to 1990.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Radu was our principal leader in that he was 'on the ground' day by day. He was very professional but with a twinkle in his eye, very knowledgeable about the area and his English is very good.
Raluca as one of the principle architects of the Cycle Romania experience, was along on this first trip to make certain all the logistics were covered. Her passion for her country, her historical comment & her never shying away from tough questions were most appreciated. For some of our fellow travellers her inability to create - magically - wifi where none existed or a hair dryer - a must it seemed for some - might have been a problem but for me these were non issues. She did a great job.
Advice for Potential Travellers
You will be travelling in rural villages in beautiful countryside. Roll with the punches and look for the positives. You'll be back to the 'necessities' of your world soon.

Sierra d'Aitana
A really good trip in a part of Europe that it would be very easy to miss / ignore. A nice hotel with good food and wine supplied with dinner. Extraordinary G&Ts. The hills are not as high as others or as epic, but they are beautiful and amazingly green. The huge variety of plant life was staggering, and I’ve never had a walk smell so much like a herb garden. Good week for re-charging batteries after a busy start to the year.

Sicily food adventure
This was a lovely introduction to Sicily and the itinerary was well designed and covered lots of food highlights as well as interesting historical sights
Most Inspirational Moment
Looking at the mosaic floors of a 2000 year old Roman villa, exploring the amphitheater in Taormina and tasting home made Sicilian delicacies at a funky Art hotel in Modica
Thoughts on Group Leader
The leader was very pleasant and conscientious but he did not understand the English of the group very well and was not great at communicating. He also had a hard time asserting himself with some group members who had some issues with fellow travelers so the group dynamic was testy at times!
Advice for Potential Travellers
This was the first time this trip was run and despite minor issues it was really enjoyable.
Don't hesitate to go! Sicily is a wonderful destination
