Discover the Baltics

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.

Ancient & Modern Japan

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.

Highlights of the Amalfi Coast

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

Botswana & Zimbabwe Lodge Safari

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.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the animals and Vic Falls.

Thoughts on Group Leader

A very geniune person who cared for everyone and was passionate about his country and sharing it with us.

Iconic Dolomites Hikes

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.

Hiking the Dolomites

Hotel accommodation is great. The two hiking guides, especially Jenny, were professional and gave expert advice.

Most Inspirational Moment

The Dolomites mountain ranges and alpine meadows are mesmerizing.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jenny is helpful and caring. She makes sure that everyone finishes the hike safely and satisfactorily.

What a varied cycling adventure!

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

Advice for Potential Travellers

I wouldn't hesitate to book this as a stand alone cycle trip

Cycling in Albania

Quality bikes, good support, well organized, decent hotels

Most Inspirational Moment

(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!

The most challanging trek since my retirement

TMB camping was the 4th and the most challanging long distance hike since my retirement. We were with 12 fellow hikers (me: the only continental person and the oldest female) aged 18-76, guided by Tim, the best guide I ever hiked with and taken care of by Alberto, a hard working chef kook and we had an unlimited fun!

Most Inspirational Moment

There were so many: the first day when we were overwhelmed by the beauty of the surrounding, the day we entered Switzerland and were overwhelmed by heavy rain, hail and thunders and kept laughing, the stunning views on Monte Bianco on Italian trek and the last day , technical hike which I liked a lot!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Tim Stephens, assisted by tireless Alberto.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just do it, it will be one of the highlights of your life. And choose for a camping trek as I was adviced to!

Even better in the summer!

This was a long intended trip as we’d skied in the Rockies years ago but wanted to see what lay under the snow. We weren’t disappointed. The scenery is breathtaking and some have since asked if our photos were AI or real.
This was a trip that allowed for 2-3 nights in each location, which is perfect and preferable to moving on each day. We added 3 days at the beginning to enjoy Calgary , and deal with jet lag, which was well worth it. Calgary was a pleasant surprise.
A few days at the end to visit family and relax after what was a very active and full 10 days.
Other than the initial Calgary hotel, accommodation was very good.
Travel in our 14 seater minibus was fine for the 12 of us on the trip. 14 might have been a squeeze.
We packed a lot in. Did varying lengths of enjoyable walks and hikes, none were too taxing, but allowed us to feel where we were and escape the crowds.
Occasionally felt a couple of hours break, pre dinner might have been good, but wouldn’t miss any of the experiences we had.
Overall a wonderful trip, spent with a lovely group of people who I’d love to meet on a future trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

A few unmissable experiences, rather than inspiring. - The grade 4+ white water rafting on Kicking Hose River! Such an adventure. At one point, didn’t know if still in the raft or not. We were definitely kicked by the horse! - The peaceful Pyramid Lake as the sun set near Jasper. - Taking part in Canada Day on 1st July. - Guided glacier hike on the Athabasca ice fields. I learned so much from this. Lakes Peyto, Moraine, Maligne and Louise were all wonderful, as were the stunning waterfalls we visited, but inevitably crowded.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Louis was a delightful young man and a knowledgable guide, who engaged with everyone in the group. He threw everything into ensuring we had a fantastic experience. Nothing was too much trouble and he often used his knowledge to help us avoid the crowds and experience the best aspects of our trip. His ability to offer the unexpected, such as our drive to Pyramid Lake and to Lake Minnewanka after our final night dinner, said everything about his kindness.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go and just enjoy this wonderful country. Despite the crowds, it is worth doing. Dress in layers as it is mountain country and in Jasper on 1st day it was 11 degrees. Other days it was 25.
