The trip to Sri Lanka was a fun and full on trip, every day was different and enjoyable.
The safari was excellent to see the elephant gathering was spectacular.
Roshan Ferninand was an excellent group leader he made us laugh and even taught us Sri Lankan songs.
The trip notes covered everything that was required to take on the trip.
This was a superb trip! The group support from the 15 trekkers was truly fantastic and we helped each other through any challenging bits. We had excellent guides and porters, and the teahouses were relatively comfortable, with a more varied diet on offer than I'd expected. I was genuinely surprised at how good the teahouses were – not luxurious of course, but certainly homely and welcoming. The views at all stages were stunningly beautiful and I felt truly humbled by the magnificence of the Sanctuary itself – it was very emotional getting there.
Too many to mention. Every day brought new highs (literally and metaphorically). Reaching Ulleri at the end of the hard first day climb was delightful, and gave a palpable sense of achievement. Ghorepani/Poon Hill was good, but very very busy. Reaching Hinku Cave, in the footprints of the giants (Chris Bonington et al) was very humbling. The Base Camps each held their own delights, and the massage at Jhinudanda at the end of 9 days walking was stupendous! The massage was so good, I started day 10 with muscles as relaxed as on day 1. Highly recommended!
Prasant was excellent - constantly cheerful and optimistic and extremely hard-working. He was an inspiration to us all. He is highly experienced and Exodus is very lucky to have him on their staff. He's a great team leader and worked hard to make sure the other guides and porters were well looked after. As a result, we felt that the whole group, trekkers, guides and porters, were working together at all stages.
Take the warmest sleeping bag you can - it was very cold at the Base Camps. Don't take too many clothes - you won't use them all - but do make sure you have gear for all weathers. We had very little rain while we were walking, but we were lucky. Take trail mix/energy or cereal bars for a quick energy fix.
Very enjoyable trip. Wynand, the guide, was good company, very informative and kept the group well organised throughout the trip.
Beautiful country, particularly enjoyed the coastal areas and Cape Peninsula.
As usual, large group meals can be restricting.
Argus Route
Excellent
Be aware that there are 3 consecutive afternoons of Wine Tasting
A really fantastic trip, varied and very interesting the trip notes do describe it well.
Trinidad was gorgeous, as was Havana... the whole trip was fascinating and we really enjoyed the cycling which was very manageable, despite it being really hot and humid.
Freddy was excellent, he worked so hard as guide, cycle leaders, political and historical teacher, he was really brilliant I also liked to way he was so concerned to share the financial benefits of our presence among different people, by going to different fruit stores and to local family run restaurants as well as taking gifts to the local school
Take lots of anti mosquito spray, we got bitten during the day while cycling. Better to take your own loo roll too as most toilets do not provide it Very few opportunities to change money, need to take a debit card and/or cash I wish I had taken a little gift for our Casa hosts, and I also wish I had taken a few little toys/crayons/pens for the children we talked to, but if you take pens/crayons you need to also take paper as they have very few resources in the schools and noting at home
We took our two children, age 5 and 6, to Italy for the first time. In his words, my son Ben’s verdict was ‘Wowzers!.
My 6 year old daughter was over the moon to climb around the crater of Vesuvius and feel the hot steam coming from the rocks. She's still talking about it at schoolo now and it's inspired her to draw pictures, write stories, play games, build Roman ruins from lego....it obviously made a huge impression.
Can't fault her - really enthusiastic, organised and pre-empted all of our needs fantastically.
Our son Ben (5) needed a piggy back on the Walk of the Gods. I would conserve their energy on the active days so they don't get too tired before the adventure starts.
The 4 walks were all excellent and brilliantly led by our leader. The sight seeing days were also excellent, with opportunities to visit Pompeii, Vesuvius and Herculaneum. The hotel was fine – nothing luxurious, but everything worked and the staff were very friendly. Food was good, including the vegetarian options.
Walking around the edge of Vesuvius - really scary!
Excellent. Good fun and very knowledgeable about the area.
Check the weather before your trip. I was caught out by the chilly evenings. Avoid the table wine in the hotel!
This was a trip of a lifetime. Just loved it so much. We had such fun against a breathtaking desert backdrop. I also felt I learned so much about the geography of Jordan. It was more than I expected it to be and I would go back in a camel’s heartbeat.
Walking through the remote desert in Wadi Rum, not meeting another sole for days.
Our group leader, Salah, was great. He had great English. He did walk a bit too fast..it wasn't a problem fitness wise as I'm fit but It would have been nice to stop for more pictures...he literally was way out in front every day, never looking back, on his own up front.
I had been worried about our safety on the trip due to Jordan's close proximity to Syria but I felt entirely safe. I didn't get any bother at all unlike when I went to Tunisia and Egypt. I would thoroughly recommend the Jordan trip.
This is a fantastic trip. It is really varied and you see so much of the country and experience so many different things that you feel like you have been away for a lot longer than 8 days
The first glimpse of the Treasury in Petra Climbing to The Monastery in Petra Climbing the The High Place in Petra The Dead Sea- fun Spending the night in the Wadi Rum Relaxing boat trip on Red Sea
Saleh was an excellent exceptional leader. He has a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for his country. He is kind, caring and approachable and really there was nothing that he didn't do for us. Anything that was aked of him he did and more. He also was extreamly quick, efficient and compassionate in getting a member of the group beck to the UK when she had to return due to a family crisis.
Bring good walking shoes for Petra (boots in my opinion not necessary) - you have two full days of walking and if you choose to two climbs up 900 odd steps. Make sure you drink enough water in Petra. Maybe bring a packed lunch with you into Petra - there are places to eat available but not a lot of choice and not cheap either. You can get a packed lunch in there but it's not great. It is cold in the Wadi Rum but amazing - you can ask for a sleeping bag but the blankets are warm- I brough a liner and pillow case and thermals and was fine. Surprisingly there were showers there too. I spent about £300 and did not buy anything but did do the optional boat ride and Petra by Night add ons. Most people brought currency with them but ATM's are available in some places
AMAZING! This has been a fabulous trip encompassing all of the best parts of Southern Peru in a great order, giving time to acclimatise to the altitude. It was a hectic, tiring but exciting whirlwind of a trip as we did so much in two weeks, particularly the first week and everything was well organised. We even managed a few nights out! After initial nervousness about going on my first group adventure on my own and my first Exodus trip, I would definitely go again – right now!
I chose this trip to see Machu Picchu as I have always wanted to go and regarded the rest a bonus. However having now been, it was all amazing, the constantly changing dramatic scenery, flying over the Nazca lines, dune buggying, volcanoes, condors, Cusco and of course Machu Picchu - which didn't disappoint at all. I have been to some amazing places in the world and this is definitely one of the best of them.
Our Group Leader (Leo) was great. His English, range of vocabulary, knowledge and support throughout the trip was brilliant. We had a couple of other local guides, one on Amantani Island and the other in the Colca Canyon, but he could easily have covered everything himself.
Just go, it's fabulous! We even experienced an earthquake, 5.1.. Have plenty of rest before you go as once you arrive, there was no time to get over the jet-lag! It's straight into it for a full-on whirlwind of a trip, I loved it. (A little more time in Lima at the end of the trip would have been good though). The notes are correct there are several long drives but you don't even notice them as the scenery is so majestic, different and seemed to change every 30mins, and several stops are made. We did pay one or two additional entrance fees which I wasn't expecting, but everything is pretty cheap. Different to the advice in the notes, I just took Nuevo soles and no dollars with me and spent about the equivalent of £450-500 over the two weeks including the Nazca flight (being a girl I did buy lots of bits and bobs along the way though....) The only time dollars were requested was for the Nazca flight but you could still use soles. There are a few 'essential items' I would add to the list for this trip; lip balm, lots of tissues for the toilet stops, baby wipes, thin light waterproof trousers, anti bacterial hand gel, lots of face moisturiser, hair dryer, cold and flu tablets and a thin light packable down jacket (and thin light packable shell waterproof) were invaluable. Packing clothes for this trip wasn't easy but take several thin, light layers, such as, jeans, walking trousers, short sleeved T-shirts, fleece, thin wool tops, thin down jacket, thin light waterproof, light walking boots/shoes, pumps and flip flops. In my opinion these were the basic items. No one 'dressed up' there really, maybe just a nicer top for an evening. A wheeled bag or suitcase was best too.
I found the first there days a little tedious with not much to see and little in the way of cultural experience but if you want to get some cycling miles in then it works! But I went on this trip to see the Angkor Wat temples which did not disappoint. The short bike ride on arrival in Siam Reap to the local market was great fun as this was the first time we came across any real traffic on this trip. The support teams in all three countries were very good and especially in Thailand provided some great snacks at rest breaks. But Vietnam offered the best cultural experience
and the best cycling through backstreets and along the canals
The temples at Angkor Wat. The home stay in Vietnam and cycling the back roads of Vietnam which were the most scenic.
Nee our trip leader was very good at organising all 18 people on our trip (not such a small group holiday!) The local teams were all very good and Channi in Cambodia was an excellent and enthusiatic guide.
We forgot to take photos for the Cambodia visa but just had to pay a 100 baht fine.
