Loved this walking trip. We are active walkers but this was our first guided trip and it was fantastic. Fred our leader was great – the right combination of knowledgable, friendly and enthusiastic. The walks are all enjoyable but sufficiently different in terms of scenery and style. There was an issue with the MB tunnel which caused us to do an alternate walk – but the group was flexible and we enjoyed the alternative. The weather in August was quite variable from fairly cool and damp to hot and humid – so you potentially will need all your high mountain gear options. The group, as usual, was a great mix of people and we enjoyed everyone’s company along the trails. Chalet Chocolat is comfortable and the food provided by Sole and Thomas was delicious and varied.
Reaching the summit of Aiguilettes des Houches and the 360 degree mountain views.

We loved this trip. We saw so many colourful birds, plants and animals in such a short space of time. My teenager was happy the whole time, whitewater rafting, zip lining, dipping in the hot springs, sea or pool, spotting sloths, seeing a whale and loving being with other young people of a similar age. The accommodation was all very comfortable, especially the last few place at the beach – what luxury! Our guide was fantastic – a lovely person and so knowledgeable and passionate about his country. I would highly recommend this trip.
Being in the rainforest and seeing a sloth and a toucan in the wild.
He was wonderful. He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Costa Rica. He was a genuinely lovely person, wanting to make everything perfect for us - and he succeeded.
You should go!
Cycling Back Roads of Sri Lanka, outstanding experience. The scenery is stunning, as you move from the irrigated rice fields of the lower elevations to the tea plantations in higher elevations and pristine beaches at the coast. Plenty of wildlife, including many different bird species, water buffalo, crocodiles, wild elephants and a leopard. The cycling was a good pace, with some hills to keep us challenged, especially the 18km climb to Nuwara Eliya. Plenty of opportunities to experience Sri Lankan style cuisine and culture of the country. The Exodus Trip Notes describe the tour accurately.
The scenic countryside, majestic wildlife and resilience of the Sri Lankan people really stood out.
Our team leader, Suresh, did a phenomenal job with the help of his support team, all crew members went above and beyond to make our tour memorable. Suresh's attention detail is exceptional, he made sure the needs of all members were taken care at all times. The hotels were well organized, bikes were in good working order, meals were coordinated and none biking excursions were well thought out. Suresh is friendly with the customers, creating a good atmosphere between customers and support staff.
Cycling in late July / early August it is hot and very humid.
Customer service all the way through from booking to the end of the holiday was excellent – all questions were answered promptly and helpfully, and whenever I spoke to any of your team they were always very friendly, polite and informative. The tour guides for both parts of the holiday were brilliant, and the organisation of transport, restaurants etc during the holiday was flawless. All in all the holiday was fantastic, in no small part due to Exodus.
I loved Siem Riep and Hanoi in particular but it is really difficult to pick highlights when there were so many - Ha Long Bay, Hoa Lo Prison, the Temple of Literature, the cooking class and walking tour in Hoi An, Cu Chi Tunnels and Angkor were all excellent
Faultless and a pleasure to travel with. Nothing was too much trouble for Nhi. She made herself available at all times whether to sort out any minor issues (lost passports and hotel keys!) or to suggest and accompany us to restaurants (without in any way imposing herself). Nhi put her heart and soul into ensuring that we enjoyed our time in Vietnam and that our group socialised and bonded (again without imposing it), and she was sociable and fun without being overbearing or imposing, and her knowledge and ability to communicate that knowledge was superb and presented with a sprinkling of her personality and personal experience of living in Vietnam and always came across as authentic and creative rather than just reciting lines that she had learned. She was always willing and able to understand and answer questions clearly and interestingly, and her understanding and use of English (both the literal language and the nuances of the language and our humour) were excellent. Lastly her organisational skills and willingness to support us meant that when she left us at the airport to move on to Cambodia we all felt slightly exposed without her!
The trip ran seamlessly from start to finish. Both guides were fantastic; professional, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, thoughtful and caring. Nothing was too much trouble.
The hotel in Siem Reap was absolutely gorgeous.
To sum up, this was an amazing holiday. I have travelled a great deal and have had some amazing experiences but I think this was just about the best holiday I have ever had. Vietnam was so varied and exciting and Cambodia was breathtaking. We learnt and saw so much and travelled in style. We all want to go back and I’ve already been browsing your website!!
All of it.
Nhi was an amazing guide - see previous comments. My daughter left her passport on the plane in Da Nang and Nhi sorted the whole thing out on her afternoon off so we could carry on our day. It should have been an afternoon off for Nhi but she went with my daughter back to the airport to collect the passport. We were so very grateful to her.
This is an incredible trip visiting 3 Stans. The scenery and hiking in Kyrgyzstan was spectacular and the Eagle hunter experience was a real highlight. All of the countries were fascinating and our guides Vitaliy and Dilshod were very knowledgable and gave us an interesting insight and history of each country. Visiting Samarkand and Bukhara was one of the reasons I went on this trip and the architecture is spectacular. Be prepared for hot days especially in Uzbekistan.
The Eagle hunter and Samarkand
Very good guide with good knowledge and language
Be aware of altitude in Kyrgyzstan It is very hot in Uzbekistan
What an amazing experience, from start to finish! Exodus kept us well informed leading up to the trip and upon arrival we received an itinerary and had evening next-day meetings which was great for understanding everything we’d need to do/timings etc. The admin team were great, the tour team were great. The hotel partners were also great – basically BRAVO. For anyone considering a group walking tour to the Amalfi Coast we’d highly recommend Exodus as although it can be done on your own – the knowledge your local Exodus guide imparts is second to none – we learnt so much about the history and the environment. There’s plenty of free time too so it was the perfect balance for us. Thank you everyone and we have already started looking at which holiday to choose next!!!
Walking up and around Vesuvius - quite humbling and an amazing day out! Also seeing Furore Bridge and visiting the cove/inlet - absolutely beautiful (although not on the itinerary)
Veriano was amazing - we loved his enthusiasm, friendliness and local knowledge
Don't over think it - just go with it and enjoy every second!
“Good guide who helped build a cohesive group.
No major hold-ups or glitches in the travel and visit programme. “
"Top - Athabasca Glacier walk. The guided walk was well worth the extra above getting on the big wheeled bus! Second - Banff and various opportunities to get out in the wild. "
Most importantly, Sean is a good people manager. He was able shape a diverse group and keep everybody happy - not necessarily easy for 12 people in a mini-bus who have never met before. He clearly worked hard, provided clear information on the next day and was always open to help answer questions.
Fantastic holiday taking in 3 countries, the pacific and Caribbean coasts and some great cycling
The rainforest which I have wired 35 years to visit since I was inspired to see it by my geography teacher. Also the lava volcano, Ometepe island and everything!
Roberto was fantastic. Had to come up with. Couple of plan !’s due to weather and vehicle issues that were out of his control and ensured that we all had an excellent time, knew where we should be and when, was very clear on itineraries and was very approachable. He was genuinely delighted for us to be visiting these mixing countries
Take binoculars, you might not want to cycle with them but keep them handy in the van. Take time to stop and look for wildlife and not race through the cycling. And just do this holiday it is amazing
Cycling is the perfect way to see this country – you get a much better sense of the physical beauty, the diversity of landscapes and culture of the country when cycling through the villages and meeting people, than with other forms of travel. There were loads of interesting visits and activities – there wasn’t much downtime but it was great to visit the temples, walk up hills, learn to cook Sri Lankan food, take a safari. The itinerary packs a lot into the fortnight – the rolling rural areas, the hill station/tea plantations, elephants, beach, and heritage sites like Galle. It might be a bit fast- paced for some people but personally I loved waking up each day knowing that there would be new and exciting experiences. I’m not a regular cyclist and as the trip rating says it was quite challenging at times with a lot of hills. If you haven’t done this sort of trip before you do need a good level of fitness and to be prepared to play catch-up with the more experienced cyclists in the group, but it was well worth the effort.
A lot to mention - such a privilege to see elephants and a leopard in Yala; the beautiful train ride up to the hill station - a lot of fun in the chaos of 3rd class though everyone was very kind and made sure I got a good view; a hotel right on the Indian Ocean; all the children waving and shouting as we cycled through their villages; learning about the history - the ancient kingdoms/temples, and more recently the civil war and tsunami.
Suresh was fantastic. He is extremely organised, knowledgeable and caring. He went to endless efforts to make sure we had a great time, and any issue was dealt with promptly. He was good company over the fortnight and we had a lot of fun in the evenings. He and his team looked after us really well on the bike rides - with lots of water, food and any issues with the bicycles dealt with immediately.
This is an energetic and full-on trip, but if you are only going to visit Sri Lanka once it's the best way I can think of to experience it. But if you like to relax and take your time when making your way around a country it might not be the best itinerary for you. It's probably best to book some time in advance and train for the cycling, unlike me, but I still loved it. Make sure you have spare room in your suitcase for all the tea, spices and other things you will want to bring home.
