Albania trip
Just back from a great Highlights of Albania trip. It’s a really interesting, beautiful country. I will spread the word to others to visit. Very economical and the guide was great. Artur was very knowledgeable and passionate about his country. He showed great care for all of us. The driver Diu was very calm and kept us safe. He was also very helpful with us and joined in with the group.
Great history leason but amzing views
This trip blew me away with all the places we visit, the beautiful accommodations we stay at and the views you get with each new day you have.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the Pyramids up close and the sheer size of them
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was filled with tons of knowledge and knew the answers to all of our questions
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take loads of sunscreen, a big 360 degree sun hat and possibly a travel umbrella as well. There is not a lot of shade around. The swimmings pools are amazing for relaxing after a long day in the sun. You do also get loads of free time to explore on your own or do the optional excursions.
A Stunning Trip
I’ve wanted to do this hike for so long and it really didn’t disappoint. The days were long, steep and tough from the very first day to the last but the scenery was just stunning. I loved crossing from one country to the next, seeing the landscape change from alpine cliff to meadow, to glacial valley. It was beautiful. It is full on so get some hill training in but this really was beautiful.
Most Inspirational Moment
The Grand Col Ferret and seeing the Italian side for the first time - breath-taking. And the pistachio ice-cream in Courmayeur is an absolute must!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Adrian was superb. Some of our group struggled with this trek and he was constantly running up and down hills to look after everyone. He's a duracell bunny!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Get some hill training in!
Tough but worth it!
This is a tough week (and I’ve done Kilimanjaro/TMB/Toubkal). Don’t underestimate it. Someone told me that in Romania the trails just go straight up – no zigzags and they really do! The ascents one the first two days are quite technical scrambles /climbs and the descents are absolutely knee-wrecking. So be ready for that and you’ll have a fabulous time!
Most Inspirational Moment
The climb/scramble up to La Om was something I'd never done before and it was quite challenging. Also both legs of the Ascutit Peak trail - it really was beautiful up there.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Sebi was great as was Leo (and his bear impressions!)
Advice for Potential Travellers
Just don't underestimate this but if you're ready for some scrambling in an unspoilt area then go for it!
Highlights of Sicily
Well organised and a good schedule. Our first trip with Exodus. We enjoyed the opportunity to explore with a local to guide us and to be driven to multiple places.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the beauty of the island especially the variety of historical sites and learning about them. We loved Noto and maybe longer there would have been good.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Francesca was great and had a real passion for Sicily which she imparted to us. Very friendly and fun too.
Fantastic!
A great trip. I had been most looking forward to achieving my first 6000m summit ( which I did 😊), but the trek itself was absolutely stunning. Fantastic coloured landscapes, very exciting river crossings, great array of alpine flowers (never seen so many eidelweiss in one place!), amazing food and crew. Would highly recommend this trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
Summiting Dzo Jonga. But some of the river crossings and passes were brilliant too.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Bring good river crossing shoes. I brought a trekking skirt following the advice in the trip notes, but actually shorts would have been fine. The luggage allowance is very tight going from Delhi to Leh, but our guide allowed us to use some of his allowance and although I didn't use it the cost for excess baggage is not expensive. I had my own equipment, but you can hire everything you need in Leh (which would also help with the luggage allowance). Would recommend taking the optional jeep trip (worth I for the amusing road signs as well as the views!).
A really lovely week
I’ve had a wonderful week – challenging at times but so worth the effort. Hotel was sweet with friendly staff. The local restaurants were very good too . Liz was a really fantastic guide – attentive, kind and extremely knowledgeable of the local area.
Most Inspirational Moment
The most inspiring moment was being caught in the pouring rain on a hillside — soaked, laughing, and united by the simple truth that in the rain, we are all the same.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Liz was a fabulous guide. Very knowledgeable of the local area with a gentle, steady presence that helped everyone feel at ease and supported.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Great week - challenging at times but well worth the effort.
Stunning scenery, views and wildlife
We opted to do this over hiking Mt Kilimanjaro. So glad we did. I loved the variety of the wildlife and the hiking. The terrain was excellent with a good amount of challenge. Clifford our guide was fabulous. He pointed out the wildlife, gave us interesting information on all sorts of things and led our walks managing a range of abilities and speeds. We loved the trip and had an awesome time. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

Ancient & Modern Japan
Brilliant organisation and logistics combined with an amazing itinerary and a hugely knowledgeable guide.

The ancient cultural aspects of Kyoto such as the shogun's castle, geisha district and the inability gates. The edo era experiences in Kanazawa and Takiyama. The excitement of Tokyo and freedom to explore the city. The group was a great mix of people who all enjoyed Japan. Our guide Hide San made the trip so enjoyable for everyone
Thoughts on Group Leader
Hide San's enthusiasm was incredible and he managed our whole trip with great energy and humour. He had planned each day carefully to ensure we had enough time at each location and his knowledge was excellent. He is a huge reason why this trip was so enjoyable. He was unflappable and he made everything seem effortless.
