I loved every aspect of the holiday, varied walks in beautiful scenery, the group was great fun, our leader Alejandro whose enthusiasm was contagious and the friendliness of a family hotel. We had some weather but nothing dampened our enjoyment of ths wonderful holiday.
Cresting a hill to look down on the Sorrento peninsula stretching far out to sea and Positano way below us, stunning.An impromtu Salsa dancing party on our last nightWalking around the rim of Vesuvis
Totally wonderful: enthusiastic, patient, funny, he got to know everyone really quickly and we were soon a real family. I cannot praise Alejandro enough.
Ask to be in Alejandro's group!
A fascinating island and worth a second trip I think. History, togography, food and wine all so varied and enjoyable.
The amazing classical ruins of course and the mosaics in the Byzantine churches. Blue skies over Taormina: what views! Grey skies lowering appropriately over the black lava of Etna. Short lived scirocco and cloud burst lent flavour and experiences with the oh so friendly locals: lashing down restaurant tables in Cefalu and having to take a leisurely lunch in a market bar in Palermo were the bonuses. Must admit that the Etna wine-tasting was a total revelation with antipasti overflowing and excellent local wines.
Fabio was fab! Great local knowledge, especially of restaurants. he seemd to know the best and most varied menus for all parts of the island. Don't miss his steer to the Genovesi cakes in Erice.Fabio took us to two great places not on the itinerary, without skimping on anything else. I recommend Modica for the chocolate factory and shop [with samples to taste and buy] and lunch at a restaurant on the shore of the salt pans. Our driver,Maurizio, made up the great Sicilan team. He was kindness itself, steered the minbus round corners that seemed impossible and helped with local knowledge as well.
When it says take stout shoes for the Etna climb-- it means it: don't skimp. Good walking shoes are useful to the cliff-top walk at the Zingaro nature reserve too. Mosquitoes bit us in the daytime at Segesta! Take precautions.
Fantastic people, fantastic scenery and fantastic food. Guides were happy to adapt so that we could ride more and transfer less.The route ws great with plenty of chai and dosa stopsto keep the legs going.
Dropping down through the mountains to Vanilla County with mist over the rainforest and waterfalls everywhere. Simply magic - so much so I had to start singing!
Very flexible to the needs of the group, great knowledge of the country and culture.
Amazing trip with some great places and brilliant company, truly stunning sights with some really good cycling thrown in.
I loved the walking up, down and all over Petra, the cycling was great with the roads mainly in very good condition, getting chased by camels down the highway. But my top moment was camping in wadi rum and sleeping in the desert.
Zahir was a fantastic guide showing us the best of his country, with humour, patience with a real pride in his country and his job. Also cannot praise the cycling team high enough Firas and Abeed were absolutely brilliant, really good fun.
The nights can be a little bit colder than I was expecting so a jumper is worth taking. Also this trip is very busy without much time to just sit about which I like but some people may prefer a little more down time. But book this trip I thought it was amazing.
A wonderful, rewarding holiday in a country that is just waking up to tourism but has so much to offer with lovely, friendly people and mind blowingly fabulous buildings and cities. Be prepared to take the rough with the smooth – the hotels are basic but clean and (usually) the showers work. Food is tasty if sometimes repetitive and costs are reasonable.
Like most, I went expecting Samarkand to be fabulous (and it was) but Khiva was a real surprise. Beautiful, calm, quiet and understated it was a joy to simply wander around. No pressure, no overt-tourism, simple but lovely accommodation (and cold beer!) it felt safe, gentle, authentic and undiscovered. A lovely old city right outside the door or our hotel, much to explore and a real gem of a discovery.
Dilshod Khaitov (of Asia Adventures used by Exodus) was probably the best Guide and Tour Leader I have experienced over many years of worldwide travel. Always there, willing and helpful, never intruding, full of knowledge and eager to share, he is a diamond among leaders. I cannot enough praise the contribution he made to the success of the holiday and his advice was always accurate and timely.However, ladies - you may need to ask him specifically what is best to buy where as, like most men, his appreciation of retail therapy could be worked upon! However, remembering that, he will quickly advise what is best to buy where and will give advice to prices (i.e., the amount to be bargained down).
There is a complete lack of ATMs so you will need to take US$ in cash, in a body belt. However, at no time did I feel under threat as a "rich tourist" for mugging, etc and even when I needed to access the body belt in a shop, there was no worry about theft. You will be subject to the usual small children selling postcards etc,but considerably less than other countries. Bring your postcards home to post if you really want them to arrive but with advice from you guide as to what to buy where, you should end up with some lovely, unusual (if not unique) souvenirs. Toilet paper is thicker than anything I have ever pasted on a wall (apart from Tashkent) so something moist from home will be appreciated. Hand gel is mandatory, due to the dust and whilst showers usually work (sometimes even with warm water!) be prepared for shortages. In other words, pack a sense of humour!
I wanted to have challenge, experience new culture in friendly environment and I received all that!Staff in UK and Nepal were very supportive. Our guide Prem was fabulous and all tead extremely friendly.
Visiting new places.We were well looked after and given space to do what we wanted.
Prem was really interesting, supportive and inspirational.
do it. You will love it!
What an amazing safari trip! We visited some of the Africa’s superb National Parks and saw many many wonderful creatures in their natural wild habitats.
Our great Tour Manager, Jacob, ensured that we had every chance of seeing not only the big five but the huge range of both large and small animals and birds on both walking and safari drives.Our camps were comfortable and Simon, our lovely cook made delicious food day after day.
I would highly recommend this safari trip to all those interested in seeing this wonderful part of Africa especially as the relaxing end to the holiday in Zanzibar made for a great finish.
Standing in the dusk on our first evening watching a family of hippos grazing a short distance away by the shores of beautiful Lake Niavisha ..... What a great start to our African trip
Jacob M was fantastic! A thoughtful, energetic and practical man
Read the background notes so that you know exactly what the trip involves and do your research about the areas you are visiting to be well prepared ........ And then book with Exodus, with confidence.
An excellent week, with a fun group (from different places), an excellent local guide and great weather. The hotel was just fine too!
Beautiful views at altitude, looking along the North Cyprus coast
Excellent.....knowledgeable, supportive, informative (and with us most eves.....and when he couldn't be, he recommended very good restaurants)
A fantastic introduction to India and Exodus. Having been recommended to travel with Exodus by a friend, I chose the "Tropical South" – a two week tour of the most southern States in India: Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It was the best holiday decision I have made.
There were many inspirational moments during the trip. It was my frist trip to India - and the rich diverse culture simply grabs you from the moment you arrive and enthralls you until you leave.There were many wonderful things, from walks in nature reserves and tea plantations, elephant rides, cruising the backwaters in a houseboat and by Canoe.., ancient and exotic Palaces and Temples, tuk tuks crammed with school children ( I mean at least 10!) all beaming and excitedly waving at you as they pass by, and now I'm onto that - the chaos of the roads - which actually seems to work - from the many tuk tuks, buses, wagons, carts, rickshaws, vespas, and yes elephants all vying for space, watching wild elephants grazing on rich grasses, sampling the excellent food which is just waiting to be explored - and sample I did! We even met a local family and cooked with them to learn how to make some of Keralas dishes and Paratta!Probably the most thought provoking was our day trip to the southern most tip of India. We took a ferry over to an offshore rock where we had two very significant views: Looking South, the meeting of three waters: The Indian Ocean, The Bay of Bengal and the Sea of Arabia. Nothing between you and the Antarctic. Looking North, the town of Kanyakumari and the start of the landmass of the subcontinent of India - and the rich, colourful, noisy, kaleidoscopic and charmingly chaotic life of 1.2 Billion Indians.I really appreciated that I could do so much and get so involve in the local culture and activities, which is down oto the fact you are going with Exodus - who know the country inside out and have the logistics and ideas of where to go thoroughly reseached / tried and tested. There is room in the itinerary for you to decide if you want to relax or if you want to explore some more. You can tailor it to what you want within your group. The important thing is you can place all your trust with the Group Leader and waste no time in figuring out logistics / systems. You just get to immerse yourself and enjoy India to the fullest.
Touffique was exceptionally friendly and really good with the whole group. He kept us on track and was really helpful throughout the trip. The itinerary was already exciting, but he always had "a plan" - for some additional adventures - which I readily did and was so glad to do so...... Nothing was a problem for him and he went out of his way to make sure the trip was enjoyable and memorable for us all. He managed to strike a good balance of being informative but also not making you feel like you were on a school field trip and will be tested afterwards :-). Overall a very good Group Leader.
Take hand sanitiser just to be sure, and use before you eat. It is not that people are "dirty" there, it is simply the fact that naturally you are exposed to bugs you are not exposed to in the cooler climbs of Northern Europe. I used Vicks First Defense hand foam, and did not experience any stomach upset at all. Other than that, take a deep breath, and get ready to immerse yourself in one of the big adventures of our life.
I had a fabulous trip and met some great travelling buddies. The Croatian coastline is stunning and cycling is an amazing way to experience it.
Cycling the quiet coastal roads with spectacular views.
Ana was really great. She was experienced in organizing our tour, arranging meals together and is sociable and fun. She was also a good bike mechanic when necessary and able to adjust our itinerary to accommodate some rainy weather.
October may not be the best month to go. We had quite a lot of rain.
