CARPATHIAN CULTURE AND WILDLIFE

We had a wonderful holiday! The scenery was beautiful and we were made very welcome by Katerina at the guest house and Cosmin, our guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were many moments, but I will always remember seeing the bears when we walking to the bear hide. Three bears were coming down the hill towards the hide and I didn't know whether to be worried or not! It was also very interesting to see the way the shepherds still lived the way they have for generations. The scenery was spectacular and provided many 'Heidi' moments!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Cosmin was a brilliant guide. He was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. He even found us a tearoom when we least expected it!

Advice for Potential Travellers

We found the walking fairly challenging at times, especially as the weather was very hot. However, it was well worth the effort. Just don't believe Katerina or Cosmin when they say you are 'almost there', there is still a long way to go!

CORSICAN MOUNTAINS & VILLAGES

Excellent holiday – spectacular scenery, good company, friendly welcoming hotel with good food, skilled group leader.

Most Inspirational Moment

The view from the top of the hill on the last day - and sense of achievement in getting there ! Being able to manage a couple of walks that were beyond our comfort zone.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very skilled and knowledgeable, taught us a lot about walking in difficult terrain and using walking poles. Adjusted to poor weather in first few days and offered an alternative additional walk on rest day because one walk had to be discontinued. He inspired confidence and was generally friendly, helpful and informative, using his language skills well with the group and local people. If there was one minor issue, occasionally he could come across as a bit brusque.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring walking poles - we found them very useful on the steeper terrain.

ESSENTIAL PERU

Absolutely fantastic but hectic holiday. This is definately the best way to see what Peru has to offer – you will not be disappointed in any way

Most Inspirational Moment

The most inspirational moment of the trip for me was visiting Machu Picchu, its something I've always wanted to see and it for me lived up to my expectations and beyond. Going back on the 2nd day and seeing the sunrise over Machu Picchu was awesome. The trip to Cuzco was wonderful and the trip to Colca Canyon to view the Condors soaring above you so gracefully was breathtaking

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our Group Leader Mr Fabrizzio Cornejo was excellent and a real credit to you. His knowledge and expertise made my trip to Peru unforgetable and he was very mindful of the whole group at all times

Advice for Potential Travellers

Yes - listen to the group leader when he/she gives you advice, especially where preventing altitude sickness is concerned. If they say drink plenty of water, then drink plenty of water. Other than that justenjoy the whole experience of Peru - you will not be disappointed in any way

MT TOUBKAL CLIMB

An excellent value for money trip in the beautiful Atlas mountains. A perfect combination between culture and adventure.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the top of Mount Toubkal. At 4,167m, it isn't a small hill. It was very cold and windy on the aproach to the top but once we got to the summit, the weather was warm and sunny. Arriving back into the heat, hussle and bussle of Marrakech was a great juxtaposition to the cool air and slow pace of life in the Atlas.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader was a man of few words at the beggining but after a couple of days he was the jocker in the pack. We always felt very safe with him and he knew the answer to every question.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take a small pillow for the nights camping.

MONT BLANC CIRCUIT - Camping

An amazing two week alpine hiking experience.

Most Inspirational Moment

Hard work of uphill climbs was more than rewarded by stunning mountain, glacier and valley vistas, sometimes surrounded by clouds.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very professional leader whose extensive experience in the alps made the trip truly great.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Working on your fitness before the trip will make a difference. Take lots of photos!

WALKING IN TUSCANY

I have been on a few Exodus trips and this one did not disappoint. Good variety of walks, lovely scenery with a knowledgeable guide. Mama’s cooking was plentiful and delicious. So were the picnic lunches.

Most Inspirational Moment

Views from the tops of the mountains were stunning.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Liz (accompanied by Elvis the dog) was an excellent leader, helpful, knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of the group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Book the trip!

AMALFI COAST: POMPEII & PIZZA - FAMILY HOLIDAY

We wanted to see this area of Italy with our two teenage boys and we had a fantastic guide, great family run hotel and superb food.

Most Inspirational Moment

Eduardo makes this trip so special because he knows the area so well, our trip to Capri was amazing and the walk of the God's was stunning.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Eduardo made sure we saw the best of everything on the trip and really looked after us very well. We also had an extra week in Italy, and during that time he made suggestions of where to go, where to eat and sorted out bus transfers for us.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you have time whilst waiting for the transfer back on the bus from one of the boat trips, pop into Amalfi town and have a glass of prosecco and watch the sun go down on the Cathedral.

A WEEK IN JORDAN

This was such a perfect holiday. I saw everything I wanted to see in Jordan and more.

Most Inspirational Moment

Petra had to be the highlight, but looking out from Mount Nebo and swimming in the Dead Sea were amazing too.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Khaled was simply fantastic. Thoughtful, intelligent and passionate about introducing us to his country. He struck an excellent balance between taking us round as a group and giving us time to explore separately.

BULGARIAN NATIONAL PARKS

Great views, warm people, some effort required

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the peaks and the views from them, taking in some of the previous days walks. The ability to relax at the end of the day, in calm surroundings.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vladi was a great leader, who understood the group very well, picking up on the banter and adding to it. Helpful, patient, always on hand; we were well guided and looked after by him.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Thought the climbs were harder than expected, but you got used to them by the end (challenging I guess). Not an issue if you are a mountain goat, or adjust well. Depending on the time of year that you travel, you might find it quite hot, well into the high 30's or even 40's.

CYCLING THE DALMATIAN COAST

An amazing holiday in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. The islands were beautiful and the towns of Hvar and Korcula inspirational. It was great to have all of the travel arrangements organised, especially the ferries, and excellent restaurants recommended and booked. It was also fantastic to have the back up vehicle on hand for the transfers, snacks and the ‘just in case’ moments. The bikes were easy to ride and in good condition.

Most Inspirational Moment

I was very nervous prior to the holiday about being able to cope with all the uphill rides. I had a real buzz from completing all the rides and loved the challenges they set. Visiting the islands was superb and the scenery made you forget the undulating routes. Having risen to the challenge of the uphills the downhills were exhilarating with truly amazing views.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Krsto was excellent. He was supportive to those at the back of the 'peloton'. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited and had a great sense of humour. He made arrangements for us to visit some amazing restaurants. A truly inspirational leader!

Advice for Potential Travellers

I took my own saddle as well as others who also took their own peddles - a good move! Although I had been out cycling prior to the trip the uphills were certainly longer than I had anticipated. To get the most from the trip it would be prudent to do some uphill training prior to the trip. Having said that, the ascents are not particularly steep, just long and the superb scenery and lovely descents make up for all the undulations!
