WALKING IN TUSCANY

I have been walking with Exodus for more than 15 years. This Trip was fo me the best of all for many reasons.It should be said that all others were great, but this excelled because of the location, the accomodation,the home cooking, the hospitality, the quality and  scenic beauty of the all the walks, and finally the best leadership and social enjoyment I have experienced. Sarah the leader had all the social and leadership skills to bring the group together in a very short space of time. In short it could not have been bettered. A trip I shall always remember. Well done again Exodus.  

Most Inspirational Moment

Every day was a great day. Perhaps the constant changing views and scenery on every turn.Also visiting the old villages and sitting out side a cafe having and afternnon break.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader Sarah as I have already stated had a great part to play in making this particular trip a very memorable one for me.She was always there to lead us in her own style safely and with great confidence.she always went out of her way to give added value throughout the whole trip.At the end of the trip she put on a slid show of our trip and a talk of other trips aswell, the whole thing was so well done.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Yes! just go on this trip I hope you find it as good as I did.

KILIMANJARO CLIMB - RONGAI ROUTE

Not a thing I did not like – but as this was my 4th trip that’s hardly surprising. This time – no anxiety – no stress – just trying hard to make myself a part of the mountain. It does work – believe me.

Most Inspirational Moment

I deliberately opted not to do the summit climb in favour of spending time at Kibo. Walking part way up whilst others were coming down - time to take in the view - realising that even at 17,000 feet my pulse was normal and waking up to see Mawenzi, the camp and the main route up covered in snow - my first snow on the mountain on my 4th trip. Let's not forget either the ascent to Kibo from the Saddle - walking an hour in horizontal sleet without a care in the world and not the slightest inclination to hurry - so un-me. Finally the guides - maybe because it was my 4th trip and I am 60 they seemed to treat me as a bit special (or possibly mad!!)

Thoughts on Group Leader

Highly competant

Advice for Potential Travellers

I have seen people die on the mountain, fit strong mountaineers descending looking like old men, people who made it easily to the top unable to remember anything about summit day and I have also seen a lady of 70 reaching the summit carring her guides rucksack. After 4 trips I have learned the truth - you rush (fight) the mountain at your peril. Go slower than you want to - the mountain will wait. Stop when told to. Talk less that you want to. Become a part of the mountain and you will make it.

MARRAKECH & THE SAHARA

Do not choose this trip if you dislike long minibus journeys. Every place we  visited was excellent, but I was hugely disappointed by the amouunt of time spent in transit. Maybe too great a distance for a short holiday?

Most Inspirational Moment

Most surprising - finding sheeps testicles on my plate during an excellent New Years Eve dinner in Zagora.(Yes we all tried them)Best Day - into the High Atlas to visit the semi derelict Pasha's palace (read up on him and 20thC history before you go) then on to the Gite.Best memory - Wandering around Marrakesh as night falls - no problems at all if you are on your own, as the people are lovely. 

Thoughts on Group Leader

Rashid was always charming, cheerful, available and well organised - an excellent leader. Very passionate about a good future for Morocco, improving education in the rural areas etc.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Camping in the desert is unbelievably cold in December - January - take thermals/hat/gloves etc, and loose trousers on the camel ride or suffer!Polish up your French if you want to chat to local people Agree the price before you start a taxi journey, and stick to it. Otherwise the driver simply makes up a number. 

A TASTE OF CUBA

An excellent holiday which underpromised, but overdelivered.

Most Inspirational Moment

I thoroughly enjoyed quality viewing position of music and dance in Trinidad.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Fantastic...Martha went out of her way to improve our holiday at every venture.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING: DOBBIACO

I have been to Dobbiaco 4 times. Twice with Exodus. The hotel Tschurschentaler was fine. The owners and staff were very nice and helpful.  They went to a lot of trouble to provide us with lovely Tirolean food.  Dobbiacco is a lovely and very intertesting village/town to be based in.  David,  one of the leaders organised a visit to the cheese coop factory.  So we learnt something about mountain tradtions and livelihoods.  The X country ski areas runs are mostly in beautiful surrounding and you can understand why people are drawn to this area. I would go back to this area again because the scenery is spectacular.

Most Inspirational Moment

the snowy landscape it is breath taking

Thoughts on Group Leader

I felt my group leader could have been a bit more engaged with us and given a bit more instruction.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared to have varying snow conditions and feel free to do different things, e.g walking on the winter foot paths. Explore Dobbiaco. Enjoy the regional cuisine

MT TOUBKAL CLIMB

Fantastic.The whole trip was perfectly organised. From being met at the airport to our bags always being at the relivant stop on time etc.Our guide was great. Very friendly and certanly knew his stuff!The trip wasnt quite as demanding as I was expecting. But that is by no means Exodus’ fault. I would without question recommend Exodus to friends and family, Im planning on using them again this year. 

Most Inspirational Moment

Using our crampons and ice axes for the final ascent.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Great. Friendly and knowledgable.

AMALFI COAST & BAY OF NAPLES

What a perfect combination, great hospitallity, superbly led, beautifu place, wonderful food.  A real gem in your crown Exodus!

Most Inspirational Moment

Delightful views and countryside, well the cooking demonstrations too.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Best one yet.  Consumate professional; her preparation made all the difference, she was a mine of local knowledge, very atttentive to the needs of all the group members and great company.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Get to the lovely local ceramicist's shop much better and for some things cheaper than the mass produced tourist fare in the larger towns.  Antonio in the local bar will feed you very well, rustic and lots of it.

HIGHLIGHTS OF GEORGIA & ARMENIA

Both the scenery and the old buildings were fantastic. The guides were both exceptionally good and the food remarkably fresh and varied

Most Inspirational Moment

Thoughts on Group Leader

Absolutely first class.

Advice for Potential Travellers

INCA TRAIL & THE AMAZON RAINFOREST

The best trip we have ever been on!  Particularly well led by our local guide who was both well informed and good at his job, but also managed to have the human touch as well.

Most Inspirational Moment

1.  Giant sloth appearing above us in the jungle on the night-time animal hunt.2.  The clouds parting above Macchu Picchu 

Thoughts on Group Leader

Juan was outstanding.  He was well informed in all aspects of history, geography, wildlife etc but also fulfilled his role as group leader admirably, inspiring confidence as well as interest.

Advice for Potential Travellers

When it says camping, it means high quality tented accommodation.  Equipment portering, tea in the morning and superb meals is  not what I normally understand by 'camping'......And don't be put off by the apparent length or altitude of the walk.  The guides will lead you through it whatever your ability!
