Interesting itinerary and well organized with a good group of like minded individuals. The inn chosen for the weekly stay was very spacious and comfortable and a great setting with a great staff, innkeeper and the meals were well done.

Excellent. He arranged an optional hike for people on our day off that was a bonus. He assisted me in replacing worn out hiking boots after hours to allow me to keep on trekking.
This was my first Exodus trip and it was very disappointing. For the pros, the hikes were amazing and the hotel was cozy and comfortable. However, for our group of 16, six of us were placed with a private group of 10 friends who were celebrating a birthday and we were treated as tag alongs. One of the six joined another group and the remaining five were basically ostracized from the group. From the first night where our guide did not meet with us, we felt left out. We were seated separately for meals, given very little instructions, had separate what’s app group set up, etc, while we watched the cohesion of the other groups and how well their group leaders led them. Once or twice, another group leader would come by to give us information after noticing that we were left out. It left a very bitter taste and moved a few of us to tears by the end of the trip.
The climb to the summit of Vesuvius
Not communicative enough and very sparse with information.
Make great connections.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, although we’re truly sorry to hear that your first Exodus experience didn’t meet your expectations. While we’re pleased you enjoyed the hikes and the comfort of the Hotel Due Torri, we regret that the group dynamics left you feeling excluded.
We’ve spoken with the leader, who clarified that efforts were made to share key information and ensure all group members were informed and included, despite the challenges. That said, we understand that your experience didn’t reflect the welcoming and cohesive environment we strive to create on all our adventures.
Your feedback is important to us, and we’re reviewing how we manage group dynamics to ensure all guests feel equally supported and connected. We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to deliver the kind of memorable and inclusive adventure we’re known for.
The Exodus Team
The trip was well organised, hotels were lovely and the tour guide made it special with great local knowledge and a lovely warm personality
Seeing the leopards in Yala.
Great trip leader who made sure everyone was included, good local knowledge and worked hard to ensure we saw the true Sri lanka
Our two guides Ado and Gavin were absolutely excellent Both my partner Sarah and I felt that they deserve to be recognised for there excellent work. They went above and beyond to help us to enjoy our holiday. They were exceptionally knowledgable and very engaging with all of the trip. A fantastic holiday thank you The itinerary was perfect and gave us all a great overview of this amazing country
Too many to mention Stellenbosch was excellent Wine tasting very good The cape was amazing All very good
Ado went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. He took the time to get us to the things we wanted to do on our day off Recommend him for an award!
The perfect balance of a fairly challenging two weeks of cycling, varied scenery, activities out of the saddle that are just as good as those in it, and a beach ending that is the cherry on top! Who doesn’t want to spend their rest day searching for tigers & elephants in Bandipur National Park? Our leader, Safi, had 15 years experience and his local knowledge made sure we saw the real heart of India. I would go and do this very trip again and I don’t think I’ve ever said that about a trip. 10 stars!
Just returned from walking the highlights of Mount Blanc! There was a variety of hikes and all had great views. Our guide and chalet hosts were very knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome!
Exodus met fully my expectations from booking through to the high standard of the local operator and enjoyment of the trip.
All the cycling was enjoyable and a great way to explore the beautiful islands of Hvar and Korcula.
Alan was clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about his country and his insights added greatly to my enjoyment of the trip. Always helpful and positive, nothing was too much trouble.
It’s hard to believe that this time last week I was climbing an epic Himalayan cliffside staircase on the Bhutan pilgrimage to Tiger’s Next Monastery!
This amazing trip also visited the annual Thimphu festival where we watched the colourful dancing monks, it flew me over Everest and the 5 highest peaks in the world (sightings are weather dependent), and took me inside one of Asia’s largest golden Buddha statues to view 125 000 mini golden Buddhas.
A day spent climbing epic Himalayan staircases on the Bhutan pilgrimage took us through the rain forest, past thundering waterfalls, and on to the sacred Tiger's Nest Monastery perched on a cliff overlooking the Thimphu valley. Here, we spent time reflecting on our journey and had the option of receiving a blessing from the local temple monk. The extraordinary beauty of this ancient, intricately carved temple in its peaceful mountain surroundings is difficult to accurately capture in words.
Kind, patient and gentle, our guides Kinley and Kimey, went out of their way to make every day of our trip enjoyable. Always smartly dressed in traditional Bhutanese dress, they conveyed a strong passion for their beautiful country, a deep love and understanding of the Buddhist faith, and a humble pride in Bhutan's belief in sustainable policies. During one day of our tour heavy rains flooded the bridge that led from our lodge to the main road and village. Our guides went out of their way to make the most of the situation, taking us to a local monastery off the usual tourist beat that the monks had lit with candles due to a flooding-related power failure. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, admiring the rich colours of the tapestries and statues in the flickering candlelight, we sat cross-legged on the floor listening to stories of Buddha's life, while the rain fell steadily outside. That evening Kinley and Kim surprised us with a birthday party for one of our group members. Responding to how they'd manage to arrange a special birthday cake during the flooding, Kimey explained that he'd walked to the flooded bridge, waited on the side of the road until a truck large enough to cross had arrived, caught a lift across, walked to the village, picked up the pre-ordered cake, walked back to the bridge and waited for another lift to get back to the lodge with the cake. Such dedication made the celebration extra special for our group.
Long sleeves must be worn in temples but it can get quite warm during the day so wear a t-shirt and pack a light-weight long sleeve top to wear while at the temple. Wear long trousers or skirts. Shorts are discouraged. Pack waterproof walking shoes for the Himalayan hikes as it can be muddy. A raincoat is also recomended for days spent in the mountains. Trekking poles are recommended for the Tiger's Nest Monastery but if you don't want to carry one in your suitcase you can purchase a carved wooden walking stick at the start point for the hike. Locals wear their best clothes to the festivals and it encouraged that visitors also dress up. Bring a smart collared long-sleeve shirt and long skirt or trousers. Alternatively Exodus can lend you a traditional Bhutanese outfit to wear for the day. Our whole group opted to wear traditional dress which the locals at the festival really appreciated.
Well planned, interesting and enjoyable itinerary. Excellent guide High standard of accommodation
