Very good accommodations and fabulous food.
Yannis is an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about the area we biked. We had very good accommodations and fabulous food.
Great trip overall
This was a lovely weeks hiking and we were lucky to have great weather for all of our hiking days (October). It was great to start in Samos to ‘tune in’ a bit to the more busy sections of the path and having a day at the end in Santiago is essential. The distances are sometimes long, but navigation is so easy as it is so well signed, which enabled people to go at their own pace with regular meeting points for a cafe con leche. Before booking, we debated guided v unguided as it is so easy to follow but opted to go with the minimal faff option, which was good. The route was interesting and prettier than I expected, but possibly not for those who prefer more remote hiking environments and solitude.

Arriving in Santiago at the end of a great trip
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mireia was a great guide - organised, knowledgeable and fun.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Consider other flight options. The group connecting flights were tight and so stressful - we had to run between terminals on the return due to a minor delay on the first (meanwhile there was a direct Vueling flight to Gatwick at almost the same time). Having 4 flights when 2 would doesn't sit well with the environmental goals? Be prepared for people on the route. Often this added to the atmosphere, but sometimes very large groups of school children could be noisy - save a bit of energy to put a spurt on and get past them and it wasn't too bad. Be prepared to queue at popular cafes and toilets.

We had a fantastic trip. We were given great city guides , organised by our tour guide and because we were part of the Exodus trip had instant access to all the archeological sites that we visited.

STUNNING AND SPECTACULAR!
This trip was a stunning introduction to the spectacular Dalmation Coast of Southern Croatia. Each of the four cycling days – encompassing the islands of Hvar and Korcula and the Peljesac peninsula – seem to surpass one another, culminating in the heavenly bike path that is the Vinegorje Dingac. The latter will occupy my dreams for years to come. Even the accommodations had breathtaking views of the sun dappled and island-dotted Adriatic. Having previously lived in Italy, we were pleasantly surprised at the level of preservation, cleanliness and friendliness of the Dalmatian community. This area is truly a jewel. Wonderful food (especially fresh sea food) and drink (especially for wine connoisseurs) add to the quality of this itinerary. The October weather was perfect, sunny and in the 60s F, and the roads were quiet. Dubrovnik was still busy, but manageable.

MATE WAS THE BEST!
Advice for Potential Travellers
The steepest hill climb was the first day with two short segments of 10% gradient, manageable for my wife and I on the regular mountain bikes. The E-bikers had no problem. Bring swim wear - plenty of opportunities to swim .

Borneo and the Malaysian Peninsula
Any information I needed was in the itinerary or the trip notes – everything was covered. There were a few queries I had that were answered very swiftly and comprehensively – the office staff couldn’t have been more helpful.

Thoughts on Group Leader
James was a brilliant guide who went above and beyond expectations. For those of us who wanted to, which was usually all of the group, the walks were extended to show a bit more of the local area. His knowledge was excellent and his enthusiasm contagious. He guided and advised us through the menus at local restaurants and a couple of times we were taken to restaurants that only locals used - always a good sign!
Highlights of Albania
The guide was excellent. We enjoyed the variety of activities scheduled. The long travel was broken up well with frequent coffee breaks and side trips. We were pleased with the hotels. We Enjoyed the culture and beauty of Albania.

Brilliant friendly guide who took great care to ensure everyone was looked after on and off the road. Imparted brilliant Greek tales of Gods and myths. Clearly proud of his country and despite this being his 40th tour he was still enthusiastic and passionate about the tour.
