Very good, as was driver. We had several very unfortunate incidents - none the fault of Exodus or guide - and guide dealt with them very well. Some long journeys on AWFUL roads - grateful for a good and careful driver.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack important items and spare clothing in hand luggage - be prepared for main luggage to be delayed. If travelling with companion cross pack ie share luggage. Allow minimum 3 hours for connecting flights to reduce stress and allow for delayed incoming flight. Avoid Addis Ababa airport. If transiting through Addis take yellow fever vax cert in case miss connecting flight. Do not drink from drinking water fountain at Addis airport. Go a day early if you can in case delayed.
Mythic Miles
As first-timers on a group cycling experience, this was an amazing kick-off ride for us. We loved meeting new people in our group and the warm-hearted locals along the way… always gracious and open. The breathtaking scenery was awe-inspiring, especially along the coasts. The history echoed through every destination. The food was some of the best we’ve eaten anywhere. The challenge of the many miles and numerous climbs was very rewarding, as were the twists, turns, downhills, and straightaways that allowed us to focus on the here and now of our surroundings. And our two tireless guides Alexandros and Dimitris dutifully kept us engaged, safe, and entertained. It was an adventure we’ll never forget.
Most Inspirational Moment
Day three, midway through the trip, we took a lightly-winding gravel path along the coast of Platanus that served up some of the most stunning views we've ever seen on the back of a bike. The path led to a beach where we swam in the sea and picnicked on delicious food before a rigorous climb out, up foothills and mountain passes before reaching our hotel and dinner restaurant, hosted by genuinely kind-hearted folks who helped make the perfect end of our day.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Alexandros said he felt like a parent to his "children", guiding us and showing us parts of his world that made him happy, proud, and reverent of the Greek history and culture. We indeed felt his sense of responsibility and were very happy with his direction and never-ending energy to keep us all happy, invested, and on the right path.
Advice for Potential Travellers
We believe these trips are best for those who have an open mind about what they will see, where/how they will go, and what they will eat. Handing off our predisposition for a fair amount of control of our day was, pleasingly, a key part of our joy. We reckon most people who say 'yes' to this kind of journey are like-minded, but it's important to arrive physically AND mentally prepared. We left feeling a world more enriched than when we came.

Cycling in Sicily
Paolo (tour guide) and Seb (driver) were fantastic! You can tell they love Sicily and are keen to share it. They were great at keeping our group safe with transitions on and off the roads.
Most Inspirational Moment
'-Balance of activity and relaxation (poolside/beach time) -Exploring Sicily and knowing what the highlights were in each region (I.e. Modica chocolate, best gelato shops, what pastries to try) -Great food -Fun group atmosphere -Logistics were taken care of (I.e. luggage being picked up and dropped off, eating location suggestions and planning for group meals, great hotel suggestions especially Sofia with the incredible breakfasts)
Thoughts on Group Leader
Paolo was fantastic and is passionate about Sicily and wants to share it with others. His biking abilities make it helpful for keeping everyone safe.
A beautiful blend of history, scenery, and incredible food
I absolutely loved this trip! The cycling was perfect: around 90% on dedicated bike paths, with very little time spent on roads, which made it feel relaxed and safe the whole way through. Every day brought something different: charming medieval villages, peaceful countryside, and powerful reminders of history along the D-Day beaches. The food was a real highlight — from fresh seafood on the coast to delicious local cheeses and pastries, every meal felt like a reward after a day in the saddle. Mont-Saint-Michel and Saint-Malo were just as magical as I’d imagined. .
Overall, this was a wonderful balance of gentle cycling, culture, and great food — the perfect way to experience northern France!
Cycle Kerala & Tropical India
The guides, Safi, Frank and Shibu were excellent and provided a friendly atmosphere. Safi had first class knowledge of India and his preparation for our trip was first class.
Most Inspirational Moment
The boathouse, the friendliness of the Indian people, the food.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Safi was a major reason the trip was so successful. His preparation in visiting the hotels before we arrived ensured our health and safety needs were met and only 1 person was ill. He was able to answer all or questions in India and provided a detailed knowledge of the country. A first class leader who was friendly and fun to be around.

Anil was amazing, always cheerful and helpful. Very organised and had a wonderful amount of local knowledge. Our tour group was very good apart from one difficult member. Anil handled him extremely well and minimised the impact on the group.
Vietnam Adventure

Thoughts on Group Leader
Jay is such an asset to Exodus, he was calm at all times, knowledgeable and good fun. Nothing was too much bother and he provided such good recommendations. Quite often the whole group went out to dinner together in the evenings. It was such a great holiday and I have come home with such great memories.
Discover Uzbekistan
A great trip – excellent variety during the fortnight and our guide Khaitov Dilshod was wonderful – knowledgeable, great sense of humour, and he kept us organised with an enviably calm authority. He consistently gave very clear instructions about the important bits – where and when to meet etc. Being older (in his 50s) he also has own (plus his parents’) personal perspectives on the Soviet era which added a lot to our knowledge and understanding of the country.
Most Inspirational Moment
In their different ways, all our visits and experiences were highlights. In under two weeks we learnt a huge amount about the country, its culture and history.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Superb. Definitely should be nominated for the Exodus Annual Leader Awards.
