White water rafting, zip lining and the boat trip to see dolphins and enjoy water play. The restaurants selected by the guide were excellent!

Costa Rica Family Escape
Fun! Well organized. It was fun to travel other same age kids and engage in a variety of activities. The trip was well suited to older kids and adults.
Hidden gem
This is an unspoilt and spectacular area which surprisingly is still very accessible and close to Alicante. The hiking is lovely with great views and variety. Except for one descent which is slightly trickier, all the walks are quite doable for a fit person. The accomodation is boutique, authentic and personalised with lovely food. The guide Jose is outstanding. It’s his business and he is passionate about the region. He is knowledgeable, good fun and an excellent communicator. This was the perfect trip for us in February and I would highly recommend it.
Great introduction to the enigmatic and historic state of Mongolia
A good mix of temples and monasteries, natural wonders, traditional lifestyles, and everyday modern life.
The gers were fine, even the more basic ones, as were the hotels. It was good to have the option of en-suite bathrooms in some, which made things easier for my wife. Several other group members would have take up tthis option if they had known about it, although Duuree did well to arrange them on the fly.
The drivers were all good, some better than others obviously, and presented an interesting variety of characters and styles. Special shout-out to Oggi. The cars were comfortable recent-model Lamd Cruisers, not just “jeeps”, which is just as well because there is a LOT of driving.
Most Inspirational Moment
The Naadam Festival was, of course, a highlight, but it is the grand open landscapes, dotted with gers, that will stay with me. And, funnily enough, the sky and the endlessly changing cloud formations.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Duuree was a great guide, dealing with day-to-day activities and the odd emergency with aplomb. Her English is excellent, and she was very thoughtful, inclusive, accommodating and iinformative, and a bundle of energy to the end. She dealt with us vegetarians very well (the food was not very exciting, but that's not Duuree's fault). The WhatsApp group was very active.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If I had to criticize, I would maybe say: too much food! Most peple didn't want Ior need a huge lunch as well as a big breakfast and dinner, but when food is put in front of you it's hard to pick at it and waste if. Too much food can be off-putting and awkward.The best lunches were the picnic-style ones. In particular, the long trek through crowds to the Japanese restaurant during Nadaam was a mistake, most people agreed. The vegetarian options were generally pretty boring and repetitive (and protein-free!), but that was not Exodus' fault. The other thing - a pet peeve - is that I was disappointed with the take-up of refillable water containers. Despite the constant availability of water refills, a lot people still used little plastic bottles, and many were distributed at mealtimes too.
Unforgettable adventure
The itinerary was well-balanced, and the landscapes were breathtaking. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish

Wildlife heaven
Everyday a new adventure bringing amazing wild life encounters!
Most Inspirational Moment
Too many! An elephant herd walking past our camp in the Okovango delta and walking with zebra and giraffe. Star gazing, milky way, Southern cross etc. Being eye to eye with a baby rhino in Matobo hills! Spending time with a young male lion in Hwange and watching hippos play.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ado was amazing, passionate and knowledgeable about Botswana and Zimbabwe and brilliant wildlife and bird spotter. A great chef, cooking up a storm in the Delta ! Sifiso, our driver was the most capable, considerate, safe, calm driver on atrocious roads! Great wildlife spotter too! All independent guides on each game drive were wonderful.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do not underestimate the long poor gravel, dirt, potholed roads! Trip notes comprehensive but state " neutral colours" ie take clothes the colour of the landscape( NO white, pale grey, pink, pale blue etc) Photos opportunities around every corner, take huge memory cards! JUST GO ..it was a fabulous trip!
Walking The Amalfi Coast - Summer Edition
I appreciated the ease of transport, and the vibe of the trip. Veriano was able to connect with everyone in our group and the staff at the hotel were great
Most Inspirational Moment
My family and I enjoyed the moments when we were able to be part of cultural celebrations or experiences such as the concert series, the folk music performance, and the cheese-making experience. We also enjoyed the Path of the Gods hike and the time we got to spend swimming at the beach.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Veriano was a super fun tour guide. Our group ranged in age, and he was able to connect with everyone, including the teenagers. We all appreciated his sense of humour, general disposition, and enthusiasm for his hometown. Additionally, we had a situation that required medical support, and he was incredibly supportive and helpful. We were sad to say goodbye, which i think is a great sign of an effective tour guide. He built a relationship with people even though our time together was brief.
Madagascar Wildlife Adventure
Trip was excellent as usual with Exodus. Superb guide, wonderful country to visit
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing different types of Lemurs and other wildlife, day hike in Isalo and time in the rainforest
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mihaja was the best guide we’ve ever had. He was so well organised, very good at communicating plans and information, and shared extensive knowledge of fauna, flora, history and culture. This truly enhanced the overall experience, and it was an absolute delight to have Mihaja as our leader and guide.
The Ultimate Best of Both!
All the best bits of hiking but without the rough and tumble! Gorgeous mountain scenery with both lush meadows and dramatic dolomiti peaks, picnic lunches, 10/10 views. Except this time its followed up with an Aperol Spritz in the village square in the afternoon sun to celebrate a day well spent. Then a quick swim and sauna in the beautiful hotel spa before you settle in for a four course dinner and appertivo in the wine cellar. The ultimate best of both worlds!
