4 Wheel Drive Desert Explorer
This was a fantastic holiday with a real wilderness feel. We camped in some stunning locations miles away from any other people and the scenery and wildlife were incredible.
Most Inspirational Moment
Wild camping out in the middle of nowhere where the stars lit up the night sky and there were no other humans for miles around.
Watching a huge herd of elephant bathing and playing in the waterhole.
Finding a family of desrt elephants and wathcing the eat and play.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Hans was incredibly well organised. He lead the team well and the way they set up the camp each night and the amazing food that they created over the camp fires made the holiday experience exceptional.
Mathias was the guid in my vehicle and he had eagle eyes for spotting the wildlife, he was very knowledgeable about all things Namibia; there were no questions he couldn't answer and he had a great sense of humour so there were lots of laughs on the long drives.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for all extremes of temperatures, we had some very cold nights but also some warmer evenings and some hot days.

Highlights of the Dolomites
This was a most outstanding trip, with excellent walks of grade 5. The scenery was magical, the Dolomites being very different to many mountain ranges I have previously walked in. The transport of both buses and ski lifts to the start points worked perfectly. It is an area I would highly recommend for its history and breathtaking ups and downs!
Most Inspirational Moment
All the walks exceeded my expectations, including the scrambles and climbs.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Emily and Eric were brilliant and looked after us well, chosing the walks to fit the group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Have no hesitation to book but come out fit, you'll enjoy the walking all the more.

Walking in Tuscanny
Excellent Walks, Excellent Accommodation and Excellent Leader
Most Inspirational Moment
The ascent of Montesombre & stunning views all the way to the sea-? 50Km away
Thoughts on Group Leader
She was quite wonderful and really took the trouble to get the best experience for us - checking the weather by getting up early and driving to vantage points to see what the weather was really like before setting off & adapting walks as necessary.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do this one, don't be nervous - we had stunning views & did some scrambling - all done safely through good planning & excellent leader

Highlights of the Dolomites
You really have to go on this trip! The scenery is amazing with a mixture of dramatic mountains and green hills. Lovely family run hotel with very high class rooms and food. Great leaders (Emily and Eric) who are very experienced and helpful and really want you to have a great holiday.
Most Inspirational Moment
The Dolomites scenery is stunning with mountains with spiky peaks - very unusual. Very green parts too.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The leaders (Eric and Emily) gave me great confidence and both of them treated you as an individual, and really wanted you to have the best holiday ever! Both were very kind.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take good boots, poles and some warm clothes.

Essential Peru
This trip covers a huge amount in a short space of time. The scenery through the Andes is breathtaking and other highlights included Cusco, Macchu Picchu and the homestay on Amantani Island-basic but adequate. There were a significant number of early starts and long bus journeys. Some of the toilets were undesirable and it was difficult to obtain lunch-best to organise a packed lunch before leaving. I would recommend about $1000 American for meals and daily expenses. At times the tour guide gave insufficient information. On the whole a truly unique and memorable experience.
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting Macchu Picchu and Amantani Island.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Brilliant in Nasca, but failed to bring the group together. Had a tendency to speak to a few of us and could have been more informative during the long bus rides. Occasionally put his interests first.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for early starts and long bus rides. Bring clothes that can be layered as there is a wide range of temperatures. Snacks and your own toilet roll are very handy.

Bavaria at its best.
A spectacularly picturesque area with soaring mountains, lush green valleys, forests, lakes and pretty villages.
Most Inspirational Moment
Sitting outdoors on top of the Zugspitze (ca. 9000 ft.) enjoying the stunning views and eating Apfelstrudel and drinking Löwenbräu on a gorgeous September afternoon!
Thoughts on Group Leader
N/A: self guided.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I would advise decent walking boots, and poles if you use them, and waterproof jacket and trousers as it can certainly rain here. Take insect repellant and bite cream too. The area is photogenic so a good camera with plenty of memory is a must. I forgot mine!!!
Make sure you have the extensive trip notes as the walks can be quite complicated. Due to an oversight we didn`t receive ours and would have been at a loss, but another member of the group who we became friendly with shared hers. This issue has been resolved with Exodus and we still had a wonderful time. The paths are well signposted anyway and, as mentioned in another review, the recommended routes can be customised to suit your own tastes.

Dubrovnik and the Dalmation coast
A relaxing and varied week with beautiful scenery and old towns to explore.
Most Inspirational Moment
I particularly enjoyed the day walk on Korcula and visiting the old town of Dubrovnik.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Dalibor was excellent. He understood the group very well and made sure everyone was looked after. He was calm and very well organised.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take good walking shoes for the two day walks as the ground can be very rocky. This is a relaxing trip for those used to third world destinations in that the toilets are nice, the water is safe, people speak English and you can relax!

Cycling in Sicily
This was one of my best Exodus Holidays. This was my first cycling one with Exodus and I can highly recommend this trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
The cycling was fantastic. Not too difficult climbs although you had to be quite fit. The acommodation and food was excellent.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We had three leaders to which everyone was fantastic in looking after us. They made sure the bikes were safe and were very attentive to all the group. Also gave a lot of history about the Island.
