The holiday was exactly what I was hoping for, exceeding my expectations. The prospectus was clear and accurate. The booking system and sales support team were excellent. Leaders and accommodation were equally good. The walks were well-graded and took us through the most lovely landscapes. As always, I found myself in like-minded company and quickly made friends of my fellow travellors.
Most Inspirational Moment
The scenery, the alpine meadows and their biodiversity. The good leadership and good company.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Both leaders were well-informed and experienced. They knew their patch very well and Mark had helpful botanical knowledge, which I appreciated. They were personable, with excellent inter personal and leadership skills. They had the skill of cementing together a party of disparate nationals into a fellowship.
Great holiday in The Baltic States, with a fantastic guide.
Most Inspirational Moment
Cold War Museum and Rundale Palace.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide was exceptional, good knowledge, organised, helpful and friendly. Even better he had a great sense of humour, which we all appreciated. As with these holidays, there were a couple of guests who were a little awkward and he handled these well.
Andrew our tour leader was amusing and attentive managing the groups needs with kindness and humour. accommodation was mostly very close to attractions to enable further independent exploration. Mainly the countries and the tour guides along the way who helped us to grasp the enormity of the past occupations and future concerns.
Most Inspirational Moment
This is really difficult as there were way more highlights than expected! Tallinn, Lahemaa national park. Rundale Palace Curonian spit and hill of witches Cold war museum and Trakei castle and everything in between!
Thoughts on Group Leader
He helped the group to bond with his humour planning and affability. He was not only a tour leader but someone who had lived the experience of the recent history and this impacted on our understanding and empathy towards the people of the Baltic states. His planning had us always just ahead of any other party entering a sight. Minimal waiting in hotels for keys. Clear information daily and through the day with exemplary patience for those requiring repetition.
our guide in Tokyo was fabulous – lovely person, very attentive and really seemed to care that we had a good time.
Most Inspirational Moment
Kyoto particularly but the whole trip was fab
Thoughts on Group Leader
She was wonderful, couldn't fault her at all. She went over and above in making suggestions of things to do. For me, I'm vegetarian which was trickly, however she really tried hard to help.
I find the holidays Exodus offer to be excellent value and well organised
Most Inspirational Moment
The highlights of the trip were (for me) Capri - I just feel like its a beautiful day out - an hour and a half on a beautiful boat ride and then - the chair lift ride to views that take you breath away.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Paolo was kind - friendly and very very organised. I found he made the trip excellent and I felt safe
In our experience, Exodus travels are well organised, are led by knowledgeable and experienced guides who are caring and ensure everyone’s safety. Every trip is a learning experience.

Thoughts on Group Leader
A very geniune person who cared for everyone and was passionate about his country and sharing it with us.
The trip was well organised by our fatastic Guide Thom, and met the description outlined in the brochure.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking to the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and around it. Tiring but magical.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent communicator, knowledgeable, great fun with a sense of humour. Excellent time keeping. Concerned about how we are coping with some of the walks and adjust the pace accordingly with rest stops.
For anyone who is looking for a variety of experiences AND who loves cycling too then this is for you! The variety of cycling up (and down) volcanoes, fast straight road cycling as well as off the beaten track cycling through paddy fields and coffee plantations was brilliant. But we also exchanged bikes for walking shoes, hiking up Ijen to witness the biggest acidic crater lake in the world as well as slept in tents on the beach! And some of us ended our cycling in the sea complete with cycle gear was such fun. Highly recommended.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were lots of inspiring moments but for me, probably the most inspiring was on Day 3 of the trip. We spent the morning cycling up Mount Batur, which was challenging but breathtaking at the top but then had the opportunity of cycling down into the caldera (the collapsed crater from an eruption 28,000 years ago) and standing in the lava fields with balls of lava bigger than you could ever imagine. For me it was a real WOW moment!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Wira was an exceptional leader and Wyan an equally exceptional sweeper and leader too, with a brilliant team, who prepped wonderful meals and snacks to keep us going throughout our cycle trip. Communication was brilliant, Wira's local and more widespread knowledge was fantastic. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better crew

(1) Llogara pass was amazing (2) Days 2 and 3 Barmash Pass and Carshove/Benje were the most beautiful and least congested (traffic) (3) Gjirokastra was a great stop (and the Hotel Kastro was one of my favorite hotels) (4) the hotel Naos in Radhima Beach had the best breakfast, great pizzas, location, great way to end the trip! (5) the way that the guide organized and kept track of our purchases was very helpful; (6) visit to ruins at Butrint
Thoughts on Group Leader
Well organized, met all the various needs of our group (including those of one of us when he was no longer able to ride due to an accident), very personable and always helpful and reachable and responsive, consistently went above and beyond in terms of organizing and participating in social dinners, etc. Great with organizing/managing expenses for snacks and coffee!
