I was a bit anxious at the beginning, but our guide João was incredible—he made us feel confident, safe, and motivated throughout. The group was wonderful, and the organisation by João and Tony was exceptional. I loved everything about the experience—even the long, challenging hills with strong headwinds! I couldn’t have done it without an e-bike and such a great leader. Thank you so much for an unforgettable adventure!
Reaching the top of each climb, wind in my face, amazed by the scenery and by what I could do!
João was an exceptional leader— always professional, kind, and full of energy. His clear and engaging briefings, flawless organization, and warm personality made the trip unforgettable. Every evening he brought the group together with great dinners and wonderful company.
E-bike for sure!
Where do I start! What a trip 2 weeks of seeing incredible wildlife, amazing scenery and eating lots of great food! This trip is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and if you are thinking about it. Just do it! You will not regret it. The Galapagos has so much to offer with different types of scenery (beaches, rocky coves, green hills and volcanos. You will understand why Darwin was so fascinated by these islands!!
Snorkeling with sealions, they are just so playful and get up so close! Snorkeling in general is amazing, some of the waters are so clear, have abundance of different fish, and so many turtles I lost count!
Amazing! Wilson was our tour guide and he has lived on Galapagos all his life and is so knowledgeable about everything! You can also see that he really cares to protect the islands and keep them from human pollution! Also I think he is famous everyone knew him, no matter what island you went to!
If a novice swimmer, get some practice in for snorkeling Prepare for more basic hotels – Electricity/wifi and water can be temperamental Bring suitable footwear, rocky in places no good for flip flops, need proper shoes!!
I have travelled with a few similar tour operators and I have found Exodus tour guides to be far more knowledgeable. A goid tour guide can make a holiday. I also find the Sales team very efficient if they are unsure of something they always check and get back to me.
The Temple stay was amazing. The time spent talking to the Bhuddist Monk was wonderful. The Monk had a lovely personality and made us all laugh. I also enjoyed the UN cemetery. It was peaceful and beautifully looked after.
Michelle was very knowledgeable about South Korea. She quickly changed things when there was torrential rain in Busan. She knew of a coffee shop over looking the beach, that we could relax in until the storm was over. A very thoughtful guide who would ensure that everyone had what they wanted to eat, even when the group were in 2 different restaurants. She would go between the 2 groups and let her own food go cold.
Great scenery, accommodation and guide.
The outlook over Nazare was amazing.
Leader was great, relaxed, informative and very positive.
Weather was spotty in late October, but still nice. Do some hill training before the trip, the last day was tough.
Better than expected. Great group of people (even though I was only USA person). Leaders were awesome and never skipped a beat. Everything went smoothly – even when I got lost for a few minutes. Excellent trip leaders, great itinerary, very nice hotel accommodations (except Barcelona)
The beautiful rides through the countrysides; town of Girona (perfect); Llagostera; everything about the town of Palafrugell-Calella - the hotel, the beach and the restaurant; Palamos The Leaders! Miguel and Alfonso!!!
He was awesome! Couldn't pick a better leader! Very well organized; great sense of humor, fluent English......!
The trip was well-organized. Everything went according to plan and our expectations were met in terms of logistics, accommodation and guiding.
Many highlights! Pompeii and Herculaneum, the museum in Sorrento, Ravello, the boat ride from Amalfi to Positano, Paestum and the buffalo farm, the view from the lookout at Bomerano...
Paolo exceeded our expectations of what a group leader would be. He was omnipresent, attentive, and approachable. He was in constant communication with us about what to expect and any changes in the program. He had a seemingly inexhaustible depth of knowledge about the region, past and present, and the economic and social changes it is undergoing. His contribution enriched our experience of the tour and it was a pleasure to know him.
We arrived in Columbo to rain to be met by our smiling guide for the trip who introduced himself as Suresh. From there on, everyday was different, due to the time of year the weather was a little chilly in the hills but improved greatly as we descended to the lower levels. Suresh was amazing and everyday, he showed us something different and made sure our holiday experience was amazing. Suresh’s ability to spot wildlife on our cycling trips was unbelievable, almost as if he had planted the wildlife!!. I have taken some amazing photographs from the holiday and Suresh has provided us with his amazing photographs also. Suresh always seemed to go out of his way to make our holiday experience better and better, he is a star. The whole team was incredible, nothing was too much trouble and they were always looking out for our best interests, including keeping us safe. Best Exodus cycling trip yet, amazing wildlife, amazing Sri Lankan experiences, amazing leader, amazing team.
Suresh was fantastic, he made sure our every needs were looked after and provide so many experiences we were not expecting. His ability to ensure everyone we interacted with, hotel managers, chefs, guides, café owners etc. all looked after us and made sure our wellbeing, tastes etc. were all catered for.
The bike ride on day 6 marked as challenging is VERY challenging, if you are determined to ride it, be sure you are very fit, it is unrelenting. If in doubt, take the train option...or an electric bike!
I’ve wanted to visit Andalucia for more than 20 years and this trip did not disappoint. It was, to me, the perfect blend of rural walking and city time- with my favorite moments being the pastures and small villages, learning about olive production, local plants, and life in Algamitas. The Cortijo is lovely, and though simple, had everything we need (including a pool!) The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful and Felipe, the manager, was especially thoughtful in taking care of everyone. My traveling companion and I both have dietary/medical restrictions and Felipe and the wonderful kitchen staff went to great lengths to ensure we had what we needed (we know gluten free pasta, bread and cereal can’t be easy to come by in a rural area, and that making a separate version of a meal is a lot of work), but made it seem effortless. Our guide, Miguel, is funny and personable and knows so much about the area: archaeology, geology, plant life, birds, and people- and he clearly makes a great effort to know the neighbors in the village and connect with people. He also runs a tight ship to keep people safe and cared for! He also goes to great lengths to make sure his groups have a great time and get to do the things they want to do. I thought the walking was the right challenge for a level 2- the biggest variable was the sun and heat, but he made sure we were hydrated and prepared. We didn’t have any rain, but that would also make for a different kind of challenge. And we lucked out with a group of lovely, funny, caring fellow-travelers. This trip was to celebrate my friends’ and my 40th birthdays this year, and it was exactly what we wanted it to be!
Miguel arranged for us to see a top-quality flamenco show in Sevilla. Everyone in our group who went was really impressed and energized by the performance.
Miguel is awesome. So knowledgeable, fun, safety-focused, and makes an effort to connect. He ensured there were modifications for people on days when they only wanted to do part of the hike, made sure everyone stayed hydrated, and took us to some nice coffee shops and bars in the small villages that not only broke up the walking day nicely, but helped us see more of how people live in the surrounding villages. He knows a ton about the geology, birds, plant life and history of the region. It was seldom that I asked him a question he couldn't answer. He also made sure we had interesting recommendations for the "on your own" excursions. He took great care of us.
Carry a light pack that allows for a lot of water- it is hot, even in late October, bring your rain gear just in case, and make sure you have the right foot gear. Also, do all the "optional" pieces you can. We had the opportunity to do an extra afternoon in Ronda and it was GREAT. If you have that option, do it!
Exodus organisation was very well put together and the tour guide, Sergey Matrosov was the perfect person to lead the trip. He immersed himself into the group and had a passion for his country and was extremely knowledgable in the history of all sites visited.
It is difficult to single out particular highlights as the itinerary had so much variety to offer that everything we experienced was a highlight in itself. But one place that stood out for me was the Aya Kala Forteress in the desert. This place has a special energy and was well worth including on the itinerary.
Sergey Matrosov was the perfect tour leader. He fully immersed himself into the group, was very well organised, had a passion for his country and was extremely knowledgeable about the history and facts of every place on the itinerary. His friendliness and social persona was well received by the whole group and everyone held him in high regard.
Amazing trip. knowledgeable and helpful tour guide, and very helpful customer services when flights were cancelled
Seeing Machu Picchu from the sun gate (after scrambling up the monkey steps)
Amazing, friendly guy. Font of knowledge and clearly enjoyed showing others his country/culture
