Amazing Views and Fantastic Guide

Walking was moderate to challenging in places for some people, the very fit may have found the pace slowed down a bit but more time to take in the views! The less walked sections were the best and we met very few other people unlike the more tourist sections but it didn’t feel too over crowded in May. The guest houses were mainly better than we had anticipated, all were clean and the hosts were exceptionally welcoming and the food was plentiful.

Most Inspirational Moment

First glimpse of the wall when away from the tourist section - the views were endless. Climbing the spider man wall and some of the tougher sections that needed scrambling and a head for heights!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our guide Jerry did an amazing job. He looked after all of us ; we were quite a mixed bunch of ages, backgrounds and fitness levels but he clearly wanted to make sure everyone had a good time, kept us safe and gave lots of insight into life in China for ordinary people as well as covering the historical story of the wall and the Forbidden City/Tiananmen Square.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Enjoy! As a group we were quite adventurous and it's worth having a go at all the tougher bits while you are there.

The Group and Locations merit a 5* but the rating was let down by the Hotel Piccolo and the Guide

The walks were stunning, challenging in part , and gave a good flavour of Liguria and its dramatic coastline. We had a brilliant Group whom all got on well and enjoyed each others company and support whilst sharing the experience of the walks and the restaurants we used in the evenings, the optional trip to Lucca was outstanding as was the coastal ferry from Porto Venere which should become a fixture on the Exodus itinerary

Most Inspirational Moment

Looking down on the villages of the Cinque Terre from on high and sharing those experiences with the excellent Group

Thoughts on Group Leader

The Guide was out of his depth, somewhat disorganised and relied heavily on Google maps and could have communicated in a more expansive way, he didn't tell the story of the walks, the views, the historic buildings unless questioned and then was not able to convey any detail, in his favour he did find some decent restaurants for our evening meals

Advice for Potential Travellers

Single travellers paying a supplement are not valued by Hotel Piccolo and are consigned to cell like dark airless cupboard rooms, when challenged via Exodus HQ a room change to suitable accommodation was provided (for which the efforts of Simone and Munashe are much appreciated), but in general Exodus customers were treated like second class citizens in the hotel and far from valued - try to secure an upgraded room or you will be very disappointed and your holiday experience tainted

A Most Enjoyable Week

I can’t fault anything about the holiday. The accommodation was good, the staff friendly and helpful, the meals excellent and my dietary needs catered for. The added bonus was the swimming pool at the end of a hot day’s hiking. Our group was small and the majority of us got on amazingly well together. The walks were varied and interesting with the chance to visit several villages along the way.

Most Inspirational Moment

I enjoyed all the walks equally. I visited Ronda on our "day off" and found it stunning.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Michael was excellent. He knew everything about the local wildlife, plants and history which added so much to the holiday. He was well organized and always on time, as well as being friendly approachable and good fun to be with.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Book and enjoy!

Wonderful Week Cycling the Camino

This was my first Exodus trip and I loved everything about it. I was travelling solo which I had never done before. I was full of trepidation but I need not have worried. The trip far exceeded my expectations. The cycling is tough with plenty of hills to climb. However the group were lovely. I had so much fun, there was plenty of banter all week.

Most Inspirational Moment

Difficult to say as the whole week was inspiring but I think reaching the top of the climb on Day 2 was probably the most inspiring moment.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alfonso was a fantastic group leader. He made the trip, joining in the banter and putting us at ease from the beginning. Everything ran smoothly from hotel check ins to dinner reservations and the days cycle rides.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure you are fit and train beforehand to really enjoy the week.

Really excellent cycling trip around south east corner of Italy

Excellent cycling, wonderful guide and an all round great trip

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the top of the Cassibile canyon ride in the Cavagrande National Reserve and the wonderful descent

Thoughts on Group Leader

Fantastic! Very thoughtful, utterly professional and a really interesting person, relaying lots of interesting information about Sicily to the group

Advice for Potential Travellers

Quite a lot of ‘up’ on the first day which can be a bit of a baptism of fire in the heat! And some busy roads at times. Also, the included flight time of 16.35 from Gatwick on the first day is far too late to enjoy the hotel or indeed get anything to eat on arrival; so consider an earlier flight or a night in Catania and arrange your own transfer.

Great trip

Lots of different types of Lemurs, which are very cute and fascinating to watch -limited wildlife beyond them though. Broad range of scenery as you progress down the country, long days on the bus but that did have the upside of letting you see a lot of the country and people close up (the downsides of sitting on a bus for 12 hours will be obvious!). Our guide broke the journey every 2 hours or so with a stop at a village, toilet break, or something. We had a good crowd on the bus which helped the time pass. Accommodation was OK, clean everywhere, a bit basic in most hotels, especially the one in Tana (The Belvedere). WiFi was in each hotel but in half of them it was very slow (don’t expect to download or stream anything). Our guide, Claudia, was excellent, I don’t think I’d have gone as high as 4 stars without her being the guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

Dancing Lemurs.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for long time on buses.

Amazing Tour

I have never been to Greece or an Exodus trip before and feel trip was the best introduction to Greece.
The walks & treks were easy apart from one challenging section when descending the Caldera in Santorini and was nice to explore on own your own or relax after taken part in the group activity.
The food is amazing – such a wide choice especially for vegetarians and the people were friendly. I would definitely recommend this trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking the volcanic caldera from Fira to Oia. The views were amazing and peaceful. The trek was a bit tricky but was worth it.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The Group Leader Thanos was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable and informed us of interesting facts and the history of each island. He informed us of our activities everyday and told us what to expect.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I recommend good walking shoes as the walking down the caldera can be difficult and a bit slippery. I also recommend taking a book as the ferry journey is long. The ferries feels like you are on a cruise ship as there so many facilities onboard.

The Petra and Wadi Rum trek was amazing!! A fantastic insight into Jordan and how the locals live their life and get to see how beautiful the scenery is. The walks were great fun and was nice to be away from busy life and experience a country for what it truly is! A must visit and also felt totally safe while I was there!
