The perfect trip

The perfect way to see the best of Italy for those who want to be outdoors and exercise

Most Inspirational Moment

The group encouraging eachother if the cycling got tough

Thoughts on Group Leader

In one word Excellent. Manni the group leader and Leo the support guy always made sure we felt safe and made the whole day from breakfast to bedtime enjoyable and fun. Manni imparted all his knowledge concerning this area of Italy and was a brilliant guide.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you are sitting on the fence about an electric bike then please have one. I consider myself fit, enjoy spin classes and cycle regularly. I chose and electric bike due to a recent injury, but boy oh boy I'm glad I did. The 'upward slopes' on hot windy days were challenging and that little bit of electric on the odd occasion made sure this was a holiday and not an endurace test........... 90% + of the time I used my own leg power so had a brilliant work out every day.

Porto to Lisbon Atlantic Ride

Thoughts on Group Leader

Outstanding!!

Kenya Safari Adventure

Really well organised by Lacty at Rhino Safaris- he sent us a message every evening with times for the next day. Grephus and Peter were excellent drivers and guides. We very extremely lucky to see 4 groups of lions, including one which had just feasted on a zebra. The Sopa Lodges were so luxurious, felt very fortunate to be staying at them.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing 4 groups of lions, especially when Grephus had said we could drive around the Mara for 3-4 days and not see any! Watching the cheetah deciding on whether to go after Thompson gazelle, or not. Seeing giraffe, elephants, zebras and wildebeest close up. Being right by the Elephants in Amboseli when large numbers crossed over the road in front of us. So much wildlife! Nothing beats seeing animals in their natural habitat. The sheer vast expanse of all of the parks.

Thoughts on Group Leader

We only saw Lacty in Nairobi, he handed us over to the drivers afterwards.

Mont Blanc Hiking Highlights

Everything went very smoothly and we had such a wonderful group of people with which to enjoy the experience…including the trip leader, the hosts at the chalet, and the other guests. Sandro and Violetta did a wonderful job of making the chalet comfortable for everyone and providing delicious meals and Tim was an excellent trip leader and guide. He always seemed to anticipate the needs of the group. He skillfully accommodated the various needs of the group while always keeping it fun. He was thoughtful and thorough and made sure we had a safe experience.

Most Inspirational Moment

The incredible views during the hikes and the wonderful people...hosts, trip leader, and other guests, including my roommate. She was awesome and a great match for me. I think our group was very well matched.

Thoughts on Group Leader

I mentioned this before but Tim was an excellent leader. He made sure everyone was safe and also enjoying themselves. He went above and beyond in everything he did to make the experience amazing for our group. I don't think we could have asked for a better trip leader than Tim. He was super conscientious and thoughtful in making plans for us and making sure everyone's needs were being met.

Ask the leader for Ćevapčići

The trip was everything I’d hoped for and more! From the stunning ancient streets of Dubrovnik to the serene beauty of the islands, every moment was perfectly curated. The itinerary struck a brilliant balance of cultural immersion, active exploration, and essential relaxation, allowing us to truly soak in the magic of Croatia. The organisation was flawless, and the local insights provided were invaluable. I loved every minute and would highly recommend this trip to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure in a truly breathtaking part of the world!

Most Inspirational Moment

Korčula, Mljet, Badja, and Vrnik

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vanja. Punctual, precise, omnipresent, and with all the answers and all the maps. I could have not wished for a better tour leader. She's truly a fantastic person, and a great asset.

Advice for Potential Travellers

While cards are widely accepted, it is not compulsory for businesses to accept card payments, and some are cash only (euros). ATMs are everywhere (use the ones with the word "bank" in it for less fees), and then go ahead and try all the food.

360 Views of snow capped mountains & stunning, challenging walks

I was travelling as an Exodus Staff Member: This trip was stunning and up there with one of the best I have done with Exodus. You can chose between grade 3 and grade 5 walks every day, which gives you the freedom to decide how challenging your days are. I opted for grade 5 every day and chose to enjoy my free day at thr QC Terme Dolomiti spa which was a welcomed relax between the walks. The weather was stunning during the days and walks varied, every walk was breath taking and offered something different, even though I don’t think you could ever get bored of the scenary. Campitello di fassa was a lovely town to be based in, it has everything you needed without feeling too big or busy.

Most Inspirational Moment

Having lunch at the top of a 3000 meter peak.

Thoughts on Group Leader

We had Mike and Jenny, Mike lead the grade 5 walks where Jenny did the grade 3 and they were both very knowledgeable, friendly and accomodating. Mike was a fantastic guide on our walks, we felt safe, looked after and the group had a relaxed feel!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pack for all weather, whilst it was above 30 degrees on days, it was chilly up top with still snow on the ground further up in the mountains. the evenings were also a bit chillier and we had hailstones on one night. Mountian weather has micro climates so whatever the weather man says doesn't always go, things can change so quickly so make sure you are prepared.

India’s Taj Mahal and Tigers - Premium Adventure

We visited in March 2025 and there were no reviews for this trip prior to our date of travel. We added on two nights before and also after the trip in Delhi to allow us to do an in depth private day tour of the city plus visit the national museum and modern art gallery. We also had a little bit of down time at the end of the trip and we opted to stay in the Taj Hotel which was fabulous.
There were only five people in our group and our guide was Ajay Gupta. We had a brand new minibus for travel and we had plenty of room to stretch out. The itinerary is pretty busy and you are never bored. At the time we visited there was absolutely no rain and the temperatures varied between high 20s to low 30s degrees C and these are the temperatures in the shade.
We really enjoyed visiting the various temples and mosques and the walking tour of old Delhi has to be a highlight. We hardly saw another tourist during this walk and our guide was lovely. The noise, colours and smells are exhilarating and we particularly enjoyed the tuk tuk and rickshaw rides. The three cities on this tour are all very different and each has its own charms. The food in India is wonderful and another highlight was the cooking lesson at the family home and then enjoying eating what you had made. The quality of the hotels used was very good and we particularly enjoyed the Neemrana Fort Hotel and the Tigress at Ranthambore.
I really wanted to rate this trip 4.5 stars, but the site will only let me use whole stars. My advice to Exodus is to consider adding on a third, optional game drive at Ranthambore as unfortunately we did not see any tigers as you are pre-allocated a zone for each game drive. Also we did not see the point of the train trip between Bharatpur to Agra as the trains are grubby and overcrowded and we waited around at the station for quite a while before the departure. We were also warned not to use the facilities on board.

Most Inspirational Moment

Without a doubt the visit to the Taj Mahal at sunrise and beating the crowds. It really will take your breath away and you will literally be taking dozens of photographs.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ajay was an excellent and very professional guide and he was always happy to answer any questions we had. Our trip went smoothly and there were no problems regarding either transport or the itinerary.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you are able to, then add on extra time in Delhi as there is so much to see and do. We were amazed at how well maintained the city is and there are lots of trees and plants wherever you go. We enjoyed this trip so much that we have booked the Discover South India premium tour for next year. One trip to India is definitely not enough.

Challenging but Rewarding

My recent trekking adventure with Exodus was truly exceptional. The hospitality at Chalet Chalupa with Caro & Sebastian was outstanding, and the support from our guide was incredible. Caro and Sebastian, the chalet managers, created a warm, home-like atmosphere with consistently delicious food, including perfect buffet to pack our lunches. The hikes offered a brilliant mix of terrains and elevation, leading to breathtaking views, which were wonderful to share with fellow trekkers.

Most Inspirational Moment

One of the most inspiring moments was undoubtedly reaching those breathtaking views at every turn after conquering challenging terrains and elevation gains. It was a true joy to share these stunning vistas with fellow trekkers who truly appreciated the beauty of the outdoors.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our guide was an absolute gem. Their knowledge of the area, local history, and geology was endless, brought to life through captivating stories and insights. Beyond their expertise, they demonstrated a remarkable ability to tune into everyone's needs, expertly tailoring the path and pace to suit the group, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and engaged. Their guidance made each day on the trail not just a physical journey, but also a deeply enriching experience.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I went in mid June and I packed for a colder climate than we encountered. The hikes were hot and I hardly touched the hat, gloves, and long sleeves I brought. Bring a hat, half the hikes are not under tree cover. I was very glad I brought electrolytes and a separate water bladder with me along with additional snacks and protein as breakfasts were mostly carbs and dairy.

A different perspective on the Algarve

This was our sixth Exodus trip (and overall one of the best). The walks were interesting with spectacular scenery and varied wildlife (both flora and fauna), and we learnt a new definition of the term ‘more or less flat’. The hotels were all good, the first two full of character and the final one in a great location with magnificent views over Sagres harbour and with extraordinarily helpful staff. The hotel breakfasts offered great variety and were excellent fuel for the mornings’ walking. The non-walking activities were well-chosen and interesting. There were visits to a ceramics workshop and an artisan olive oil presser which were fascinating and the tasting at the high tech Vicentino winery very near the Alentejo coast offered a different dimension. The wines were very good, with a noticeable salty tang.
The walks were on paths that were generally good or very good, other than about 1km on day 6 which is over broken rock, but trail shoes or boots should have good treads as some short sections were quite loose and eroded (and could have been slippery if the ground had been wet). We were a little late for the best of the wild flowers on the dunes but they were still very varied and attractive. We saw storks nesting on rock pinnacles just offshore (apparently the only place in the world where they nest on sea stacks) and were lucky enough to see three peregrine falcons on one of the coastal walks.
Overall, this was a great week with friendly and amusing companions from Canada, Scotland and England and superlative guides. If we did it again, we would probably go in the late Spring rather than the early Summer, both to have slightly more varied wild flowers and (perhaps!) to avoid walking in 34 degrees in the hills, but we would thoroughly recommend the trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

The first view of the spectacular coastline from the clifftop.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leaders were Francisco and his life-long friend Rafael. They made frequent stops on the walks to tell us about the flora and fauna, and the geology on day 6, where there are sites that are world-renowned. They both had a great sense of humour and were thoughtful, anticipating the needs of all the group members, even providing flip-flops for a stream crossing. They recommended, and organised, restaurants for group dinners on every night except two, giving us insights into the cuisine both of the hills and the coast (and lessons in the Portuguese way of eating sardines and deep-fried fish with your fingers!). Overall, they couldn’t have done more to make the holiday a memorable one.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take sturdy boots/walking shoes with a good tread. Some of the walks have stretches on sand dunes and it is worth wearing long trousers on those days if you don’t want boots full of sand! Walking poles are useful for some sections.

Very enjoyable

This is my 7th or 8th Exodus cycling trip. I think it is the most low-key one I have done – it is not stunning, amazing, Instagram-worthy, or dramatic, but if you want a very enjoyable experience in rural Romania, with scarcely another tourist in site, with a great group leader and a great group, learning about the history and culture of Romania, this is a trip for you. If you want to excite envy in your friends with dramatic photos and tales, then choose another one.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Absolutely superb. Could not be better - friendly, helpful, informative, knowledgeable, personable

Advice for Potential Travellers

As above - highly recommended if you know what you are getting
