This was a really enjoyable week walking with a very pleasant and interesting group of people. Our hosts Jayne and John at Chalet Chocolat gave us a warm welcome and provided excellent food.
Probably the top station of the Aiguille du Midi cable car. The mountain views up there are fantastic.
Mark was very good. He led the group in a relaxed way, letting people come along at their own pace, which meant that I never felt rushed.
Read the trip notes and walking grade before booking. There were people in the group who were surprised by the steep ascents and struggled to do them.
This was my first ever group trip so i was nervous about almost every aspect of the whole event. Would anyone speak to me?, would I be the worse cyclist?, would the meal times be awkard?, would the accommodation live up to expectations? There was no need to worry!
When on a 22Klm climb a few inspirational moments pass by. Was it the fox, the views, the hairpin bends, the quiet? Probably all of them and many more. But mainly it was simply being there and doing it.
Our group leader was Andy. His passion for the location and his love of cycling helped to make him a great leader. He also was always ready to go that extra step to ensure that we all had plenty to do and nothing to worry about.
There is plenty of advice about bringing torches, ear bungs, currency etc to be found on the site. However, none of this is of any use unless you actually GO. So the advice would simply be, if you're an OK cyclist, have a taste for a little adventure; just book it.
Fantastic trip with a great group and tour leader. Warm weather and amazing sites. Jordan is an amazing country, people were warm and friendly – its hard to believe how much we saw and did. Certainly missing the sun and bright blue skies ………………..
Wandering around Jerash with the sound of Scottish bagpipes wafting with the breeze. The sheer scale of the amphitheatres, colonnaded streets and palaces is truly breathtaking. That first glimpse of the Treasury at Petra through the Siq walk - very Indiana Jones! Sitting outside a Bedouin Cave looking across the Petra desert complete with shooting star - following a wonderful dinner (not to be missed). Snorkeling in the Rea Sea surrounded by lots of fish. Bobbing around in the Dead Sea. Night in Wadi Rum with that desert full moon.
Khaled was a fantastic tour leader - making us all feel welcome and informed about Jordan in general as well as the places we were visiting. He always had good tips on evening meals and optional walks to take to get the 'worlds best view' in Petra and Wadi Rum. Highly recommend any trip to Jordan with Khaled - you are sure to have the best experiences possible.
When getting local currency try to get smaller denomination notes (20 dinars and below) as you will find it much easier to pay for meals etc as not all places have change for larger notes. Make sure you have plenty of wet wipes and good walking shoes especially around Petra (as rocks can be slippery). I travelled at the start of October and found during the day temperatures were warm but pleasant (although a sunhat is good idea) at night it can get chilly so a jacket/fleece will be good idea.

This was my 4th cycling holiday with Exodus and was the best – fantastic scenery, food, wine and of course the cycling!
Cycling around False Bay - coffee and cake in the morning (always a requirement for a Sunday ride), blue skies and sunshine, the most fantastic scenery along the coast, and 'undulating' cycling (plus not too strong a head wind!!!). And champagne and nougat tasting......
Really good - extremely knowledgable of the local wildlife, very good at riding up and down the group to make sure no-one got left behind, and pretty adaptable (always good when the heavens open and riding is off for the day!). Oh and very good at lunches!
There will be a strong headwind at various points of the holiday which can be a little scary on the downhills, but this is just part of the holiday and there is the bonus of having some great tail winds. The wine's are superb as is the food, but do remember to take a proper SA plug adaptor! And I wouldn't recommend the goat or sheep smiley for the western palate! When you arrive in Cape Town do the red sight seeing bus to see a lot in a short time period
A very relaxing holiday in a wonderfully scenic region. The walks were relatively easy but varied and the company was great.
Seeing the amazing scenery was the best thing about the trip. Having passed through the area 18 years ago I had always wanted to go back and the holiday certainly didn't disappoint. Walking through villages and seeing the local people going about their everyday activities was also good. The way of life in the cities has changed so much but we saw things that were timeless. The people were very welcoming and keen for us to see what they were doing. The ingenuity of the earlier inhabitants of the area in terms of carving out underground cities and making pigeon houses was eye-opening.
Gorkem was very good. He was so keen to show us as much of this part of his lovely country as possible in the short time we were there. He made sure that we got as much out of the trip as we could.
Prepare to be amazed at the scenery. If you go in October, also be prepared for it to be cold at night.
We had a great time. Danh was a great tour leader, full of enthusiasm for his country, our trip, cycling and our enjoyment. Led his team superbly. Never fazed by mini "disasters", took everything in his stride and with a smile. We had a very good taste of the real Vietnam, not just the tourist traps.
Don't really like long downhills but really enjoyed the 34K descent we did. Total quiet, beautiful scenery, fabulous. And of course Hoi An is truly wonderful
Simply the best, better than all the rest. Have been on many cycle trips with Exodus and your competitors, so I feel I am qualified to judge. Danh never just went the extra mile, he went the extra 500K. It always felt that we were his number one priority and nothing was too much trouble. I think he was a true friend to all of us.Very knowledgable about his country, history, customs etc.
Several laundry opportunities so you really don't need all those clothes.........
This was a great trip, a varied on/off road trip through Galia, stunning Autumn landscapes, good food, culminating in arrival at Santiagao, a real classic old Spanish city. Whilst this is advertised as a road trip, a lot is actually off road through forest tracks which I really enjoyed
cycling through forest tracks with all the Autumn colours then arriving at the Santiago Cathedral to finish the trip. Lots of local sites, cafe stops etc
Jose the leader was excellent, consistentley helpful, cheerful and generally a good guide
bring your own saddle. The food was generally good , with a menu of the day inc wine typically being 9e. Some of us found the breakfasts a bit sparse - if you want muselli or lots of fruit, bringing some would be useful
A very interesting & mixed trip. Fascinating country, my eyes were out on stalks most of the time. All life can be seen on the back of a motor bike.
Seeing the traffic flow like water around locals & tourists crossing the road.
Phoung was an excellent leader, couldn't have done any more for us. He was more disappointed than our group when Halong Bay boat trip had to be cancelled due to weather. He organised a party in his room to try to cheer us up. The fact he successfully got everyone across the road every time is a credit to him. He was ever cheerful, knowledgable and guided us all to having the best possible time we could.
Its hot & humid. Light cotton clothing. Hat & umbrella essential. Dollars accepted everywhere but local currency useful in Vietnam, not needed at all in Cambodia. Best shopping by far in HoiAn. Well worth getting clothes made, even simple pair of black trousers. Rehydration salts essential. Locals friendly, never felt threatened or uncomfortable. Laundry cheap & very available. Busy most of the time with a few long coach journeys as well as the flights.
Great holiday, moderate activity, lovely group and fantastic scenery!
This was my first solo adventure and I was a bit worried about what I was getting myself into! My fears were put to rest very early however as the group was lovely and the scenery amazing. The most inspirational moment for me was actually booking it, but the scenery we saw on our walks were awe-inspiring too.
Our group leader was called Zep and she was lovely, funny, friendly and always happy to help.
Our hotel was very basic but clean, but I would advise that single travellers pay the supplement for their own room as it would have been a bit awkward to have shared I think.Be prepared for a couple of hours walking a day, usually between 7 and 12km per day, but nothing too hard. Do not attempt if you are a bit unure on your feet or have virtigo as some of the walks are very narrow on cliff paths and very high up!
