It doesn’t get better than this!
Just back from the most amazing week in the Alps. Breath-taking views on every walk. Level of walking requires some effort but very manageable. Our tour guide Tim was wonderful. Organised, patient, very knowledgeable about the area, flora & fauna and as a bonus he is an exceptional photographer so our group have come home with professional photographs of our trip. Caro & Sebastien run Chalet Chalupa & they looked after us so well. There were freshly baked treats to come back to every day & delicious 3 course meals every night. Honestly, I wouldn’t change a single thing about this trip & would highly recommend it to anyone.
An incredible trip, from start to finish
There were so many unforgettable moments on this adventure, but seeing the wildlife in such a natural way, without lots of people round them, was incredible. Camping wild and going off-grid felt like an amazing reset and the tents were very comfortable. Couldn’t recommend this trip more!
Most Inspirational Moment
Hmmm lots to choose from! Watching two elephants playfighting from the fly camp, being taught how to navigate using the stars by our tour leader, going to sleep to the sound of elephants and hippos.

Martin was incredible. His knowledge about the local wildlife, plants, culture and history was so impressive. He worked tirelessly to make sure we had an amazing trip, always making sure we were comfortable and safe. Such a pleasure to spend the week with him. His assistant Stuart was fantastic too - also went the extra mile to make sure we had a great trip!
A great time in the Loire Valley
A whirlwind of beautiful chateaux, wine tastings, historic towns, and a bit of walking
Most Inspirational Moment
Moment # 1: Walking down a long, tree-lined allee to arrive at the first chateau at Chenonceau. Moment #2: Arriving at our first night's hotel and realizing that this was our lodging, not an unscheduled chateau to visit.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Yannis was the kind of group leader you want--knowledgeable, well organized, great fun. He was attentive and extremely helpful in helping some of us make return train arrangements, sought out our feedback, checked in with us along the way--all with a smile. We were also lucky to have Lucas as our van driver/travel companion.
Advice for Potential Travellers
There's minimal walking (the focus is more on culture and history), so walking boots/poles are really not necessary.
The perfect trip
The perfect way to see the best of Italy for those who want to be outdoors and exercise

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.

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.
Cycling Puglia & Matera
The pre-trip support is amazing and the holidays well thought out with great guides and support whilst away. I cannot fault Exodus and always reccomend to anyone looking for an adventure
Most Inspirational Moment
The route and support.

Caring, attentive and patient. His knowledge of history and architecture along with knowledge on all the areas we visited was excellent. Could not fault him.

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!

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.

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.
