Best of Peru - Premium Adventure

Wonderful itinerary with the amount of variety and time to acclimate without having to take any meds.

Most Inspirational Moment

I enjoyed exploring every city with the local guides providing a wealth of local color

Thoughts on Group Leader

"Uvaldo was phenomenal. He was concerned about our well being and health and demonstrated knowledge in how to avoid altitude sickness. He has encyclopedic knowledge of Inca and pre-Inca history. He was a master logistician to arrange each day's schedule and manage every detail from getting us through the servicios hygenicos most quickly to ensuring we got through all the airport lines to board our planes most efficiently. We laughed together and genuinely enjoyed his company. He encouraged us on the Inca Trail and kept us moving along steadily. I would recommend Uvaldo unconditionally to any visitor to Peru."

A memorable experience

Jordan is packed full of ancient history and extraordinary landscapes. We absolutely loved our visit and learnt a huge amount about this country and the surrounding region. We were in a group of 20 like-minded travellers, ranging in age from 20’s to 70’s. We thoroughly enjoyed their company, and the shared experience was a huge positive.

Most Inspirational Moment

Although we had visited Petra the previous day with our guide, on our second day in Petra we decided to get up early so we could enter the site for its 6.00am opening. There are inevitably lots of visitors at Petra, but there are far less people at this time of day and the temperature is much cooler. Sipping freshly brewed Arabic coffee (delicious!) at 7.00am in front of the Treasury before the crowds had gathered was so worth it! The light was magical. But there were other special moments too: exploring the unexpectedly large Jerash site with its huge array of columns; sitting on the sand exploring the night sky in Wadi Rum; sharing jokes with each other whilst riding our camels across the desert as well as floating in the Dead Sea.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The leader for most of our trip was Amer. He was friendly, helpful, and very experienced. Amer was hugely knowledgeable about all aspects of the region’s history, culture, and religion, and answered all the group’s questions in a comprehensive and often humorous way. He often took extra time to expand his answers so that we fully understood both the past and present political and religious complexities concerned: As a proud Jordanian his perspective on the topic of Palestine reflected his views. More generally, Amer took time to explain the plans/timings for each day. With such a busy schedule I think we all appreciated his organisational skills. On the coach he ensured there were plenty of regular breaks on the longer drives. He also handled check-in procedures at each hotel so generally all we needed to do was to collect our room key from him.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you are worried about the visa / arrival process, for us this went very smoothly as the Exodus rep at the airport was extremely good. Be aware that on this itinerary, you will arrive at your first hotel in Amman around 2am after the visa procedure and transport from airport etc. You are then asked to be available for departure (after breakfast) at 8am the next day for a day trip to Jerash. Some may consider adding an extra night at the beginning to address this. The Day 3 itinerary which is the drive to Petra was very long but did contain several stops along the way. Departure was around 8am but arrival in Petra was not until around 7:30 so prepare for a long day. Try to get up for 6am when the site opens on your free day in Petra. There are far less people at this time of day, the temperature is much cooler and the light is magical. Bring beach shoes for Aqaba and the Dead Sea. We forgot ours, and whilst the pebbles and grit weren’t a problem the sand was burningly hot! If you can, bring a LARGE water bottle. This saves the chore of filling up every stop. Payment by card is simple in many locations, even to the craftspeople/store holders in the Siq at Petra! Even so, bring plenty of Jordanian Dinars for food/drink/snacks etc. Also, we had to hand over quite a bit of cash to our guide to support the tips strategy (see below) so make sure you bring enough to cover this aspect. We had a small pair of binoculars confiscated by security when we checked in at our hotel at the Dead Sea Resort. They were returned just before we left for the airport. Although the hotel is in Jordan, its proximity to Israel seems to make the staff nervous of such items, so beware. We recommend you either do not bring binoculars at all, or are prepared to do without them for this part of your stay. All the hotels were OK, but nothing special. This wasn’t really a ‘hotel holiday’. From our perspective, if the accommodation is clean with reliable plumbing and has reasonably comfortably beds that’s fine, and that was our experience. Hotel breakfast buffets were variable in range of options but there was something available for everyone. As a coeliac I was able to cope although I did bring enough gluten free rolls to last the full week. Eating out (or at the hotel) was simple and the places we visited offered many venues, but the food at each was pretty much the same everywhere: cold mezze followed by kebabs or lamb/chicken stews with vegetables.

Borneo Wildlife Discoverer

Great opportunity to sees lots of wildlife in the wild Reasonable pace allowing 2 nights at each location Great end to holiday in the Danum Valley Jungle Resort

Most Inspirational Moment

Watching the male Orangutan making a nest in the rain and then seeing him make an umbrella out of leaves

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent, very helpful with plenty of local insight

Advice for Potential Travellers

Embrace the jungle as much as possible and don't be worried / afraid of insects / malaria etc

Walking Portugals beaches.

Such a lovely holiday on the Portuguese Atlantic coastline. Walking along beaches and cliff tops, beautiful scenery every day. The guides Ines and Luis, were very knowledgeable, professional and helpful. The hotels were good. Transfer by mini bus to walks and hotels, all included. Would highly recommend.

Most Inspirational Moment

Dramatic coastline. Visiting a winery.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Both were excellent, I felt very safe.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It's tougher walking, than is described.

Fantastic trip

This was an amazing trip, we saw so much and thanks to Onary our guide, also learnt so much about the animals, the people and the way they live. Shortly into our first game drive we saw a male leopard up a tree with a kill and a female on the ground below. Camping in the Okavanga Delta was a great experience, as was the walking safari to see rhinos, which we did. Everything was so well organised and although the drives were sometimes long we saw so much on the way that they weren’t boring. Just a fantastic experience, absolutely loved it

Most Inspirational Moment

There were lots of inspirational moments!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Onary was a fantastic leader, nothing was too much trouble and he thought of everything

Advice for Potential Travellers

Head torch, safari hat, don’t forget your double entry visa for Zimbabwe, mosquito repellent

Sept 2023

Well organised and led by the guide Francesca and the 2 drivers Mario and Graziano. Lots of amazing scenery and history.

Most Inspirational Moment

Temples at Seracruse

Thoughts on Group Leader

Superb!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Even at end of September was very hot so be prepared.

A fantastic trip

A fabulous trip with stunning views, excellent local restaurants and amazing company.
Be prepared for steep, short climbs (assisted with s rope!), giggles with guides, fantastic restaurant recommendations and leisurely walks too.
I have learnt so much about the wildlife and vegetation there from the guides.

Most Inspirational Moment

Splashing in the waves on day 2, then strolling along the sandy beach barefoot - wonderful

Thoughts on Group Leader

Inês and Luis were great fun, so knowledgeable and supportive. They made the trip an absolute pleasure

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure you bring a light shower coat, shorts are fine but walking shoes:boots essential really. Make use of the lovely pools and river (in Vila Nova Millflores) as it eases your tired muscles

Interesting Country - Full of History

The island has a fascinating history and it was good to try to understand the recent history that has created North Cyprus, whilst participating in walks with great scenery. Plus visits to castles, abbeys and monasteries. Made even better by a great group of fellow travellers. The Pia Bella Hotel rooms are spacious and of excellent quality and good air conditioning. The breakfast buffet offers a wide choice. But if you favour European continental breakfast, there is no fish, very little meat and no pastries or croissants. There is an excellent pool, open till 6pm. The bar was often busy but service was good and prices competitive.

Most Inspirational Moment

The view from the top of Kantara Castle, where you can see both the north and south coasts of the island. The optional trip to Famagusta was well worth taking - so full of history - both ancient and modern. And the cave at Incirli.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Gizer is an excellent guide and a great ambassador for his country. His knowledge of the full history of the island is extensive, which he imparts in an easy to understand, meaningful way. His restaurant recommendations were excellent. And good value.

Advice for Potential Travellers

A couple of the walks are quite long and intense on loose surfaces. Ensure you have good walking boots/shoes with grippy soles. Use of poles is recommended. Euros are widely accepted, but paying in Lira offers better value. Contactless is widely accepted, but paying in cash for a beer or coffee preferable. Some days are long but usually return in time for a quick swim in the excellent pool.

Spot on again from Exodus

Perfect combination of cycling, sightseeing and fun!

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the top of Cavagrande del Cassibile, one of the deepest canyons in Europe in blistering heat - using only pedal power, to be rewarded by a wonderful picnic lunch prepared by Davide and the minibus driver, Giuseppe.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Davide was spot on for this trip. He gave us all confidence in our abilities to enable us to get the most out of the trip. His passion and love for Sicily was evident throughout, an amazing ambassador for his island. There can't be enough hours in the day for all the things Davide sorted out - restaurants, transfers, bike changes - nothing was too much trouble. And what a great sense of humour - he loved learning new English idioms and trying to use them on a daily basis.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for heat and hills - the rewards will far outweigh the effort! Be prepared to try new foods - the flavours are vibrant and bold. Be prepared to cycle in traffic - the group leader will ensure you are safe. Go for an e-bike if you are not confident - it would be a shame to miss out on this awesome trip.

Land of the Jaguar Sept 2023

Please note you will be told, by Exodus, that your luggage will be put through at San Paulo and this is absolutely not the case. You will need to recheck your luggage. This caused people to miss their connections/sprint to catch their connection. I asked for a longer connection time and Exodus said no causing unnecessary stress. The tour leader, Tony, was absolutely lush and very knowledgeable and if there was an animal to spot he spotted it. Arasas Lodge is nice, but in reality the itinerary was really lacking here with several hours to kill between activities (10-4pm). It felt like a last minute add on as they couldn’t just make the trip 4 days. I would say the cost of the trip really is not good value for money and sadly I could not recommend this trip though we did see the jaguars.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the jaguar.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Tony was worth his weight in gold!

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would not recommend this trip.
