Sierra Nevada

The heat and the rough trails made the walks challenging enough for a grade 3. Although some of the days were less of a challenge than others. After a very hot summer in Europe, late September was still very hot and the scenery reflected this. It was cooler down in the valleys shaded by trees with lovely natural streams still full of water.

Most Inspirational Moment

The day we stopped for a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant with a lovely shaded terrace, views and fantastic food. How we made it up the hill after over indulging was anyone’s guess!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Dan was very knowledgeable about the local area. He kept us all safe on the rough, stony trails making sure everyone was going at their own pace and keeping well hydrated in the heat. His dry Yorkshire sense of humour kept us all entertained during the days!

Advice for Potential Travellers

The trails are quite rough with loose stones & shale so wear good supportive boots and use poles if you need to.

Stunning walks along this beautiful coastline

A fairly relaxing week of walking, talking, sunshine and learning about this corner of Portugal

Most Inspirational Moment

Our evening trip to watch the sun setting into the Atlantic- accompanied by a glass of bubbly and plenty of laughter

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ines and Luis were pleasant, supportive, organised and went way beyond their remit. Even on their day off, they provided advice and transport, as well as an evening trip.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Highly recommend this trip, it's a good mix of walking and culture.

missed connection

just like Emily I too missed my connecting flight at Sao Paulo . this was because there was not enough time to collect my luggage go through customs and passport control etc and then do the whole thing again in reverse . you really need more than just over 2 hours in my opinion .This caused a lot of unnecessary stress and time waiting for the afternoon flight (9hrs ) to join the group. having said that the trip was very good with a lot of wildlife to be seen culminating in the sighting of the elusive jaguar .food was good and price of drinks etc good. the guide Juan was excellent with a very good knowledge,of wildlife and habitat ,but as previously mentioned please be aware you may be in for a long stressful wait at the airport .

Most Inspirational Moment

the amount of wildlife and habitat.

Thoughts on Group Leader

very good.

Advice for Potential Travellers

be prepared for a long wait at sao Paulo airport.

Nile Cruise & Aswan - Premium Adventure

Very well organised holiday, beautifully appointed accommodation, knowledgeable and personable guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

Everything!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very knowledge and personable leader, immediately integrated in the group, very responsive to any questions, extremely caring when a member of the group felt unwell. He definitely made an already memorable trip even better!

Nile Cruise & Aswan - Premium Adventure

Great experience, plenty of Egypt’s landmarks are explored in an organised way, and the Nile cruise and hotel experiences add to the highlights.

Most Inspirational Moment

The pyramids, Valley of the Kings, sunsets on the Nile, Marriott and Movenpick hotels.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very good guide, knowledgeable and sociable.

A memorable trip

A very good trip all round. Good accomodation, very good guide, good itinerary, excellent food and drink. Perhaps a bit short on the walking.

Most Inspirational Moment

Picnic lunch in caves near Matera.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very good. Attentive to everyone's needs and preferences, good at solving problems, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Clear communication and well organised. He was keen for us to experience everything possible, especially with food and drink and this made it very enjoyable. Pleasant company.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared to eat and drink plenty!

Long walks and fabulous views

At the end of September we were a bit surprised that the villages were still quite crowded, but really pretty, especially when viewed from the hills above. The walks were quite long, and steep in places, but everyone managed them; there are options to cut some of the walks short by taking the train back, but nobody wanted to miss out on the whole experience. The trip notes warn that some of the long downhill sections are not ideal for vulnerable knees, and I would suggest taking this advice seriously. Our guide, Michele, was efficient and great company. The Picollo hotel in Moneglia is a very good choice; family run, friendly, with good food, a pool, sun deck and close to the beach. The trains we used were excellent.

Most Inspirational Moment

Portofino; an easier walk and a lovely little town, although prone to crowding when cruise liners are in! Spending time with such a lovely group.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Great fun, good organiser and communicator, and careful to support walkers of varying abilities / paces along the way.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If we went again we would try later in the year in the hope that it is less busy. The walks are rated moderate, but there are a couple of steep scrambles; most of our group were fit hikers - a few "training" walks would benefit travelers less used to long hilly walks.

Well balanced trip

All the major sites covered, in a well balanced trip to Jordan.

Most Inspirational Moment

The sight of the Treasury at Petra.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mikhled was well organised, knowledgeable and joined in with the good humour within the group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The early morning arrival on day 1, can be mitigated by arriving a day earlier

Best Exodus Tour Yet!

This is a 5-star tour! I selected the Treasures of Sicily trip because I want to visit different regions of Italy. I had no idea how much I would learn about the Sicily invaders (our guide called them “visitors”) or their contributions to the culture. In seven days, our group traveled around the entire border of Sicily. We saw a minimum of two attractions per day, including Mt. Etna volcano, Ancient Greek and Roman ruins, beautiful small towns, National Park, and the bustling capital. You spend a lot of time on the bus (typically 2 to 3 hours a day) in transit but this enables you to see so much in one week. I wouldn’t want to give up even one attraction. Our guide Tiziano was superb. This young man knows so much about the history and culture. He made every day so much fun!

Most Inspirational Moment

I was most swept away by the Ancient Greek temples as well as the Greek Amphitheatre in Sicily. They were in wonderful condition despite their antiquity and I marveled at how the Greeks built such edifices.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Words cannot adequately describe our group leader Tiziano—smart, funny, engaging, emphatic, energetic, and caring. He was the cheerleader from daybreak to sunset on our journey around Sicily. He was always making us laugh. I would love to take smother tour with Tiz in the future! I wish I booked the 14-day Grand Tour to spend more time with Tiz.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don’t pack a big suitcase. You have to drag it a big distance in old town Palermo. Don’t pack a lot of clothes to go out a night. It is casual in Sicily. You want 1 or 2 nice outfits. Pack warm clothes for hiking Mt. Etna. It gets cold on the mountain. Leave some space in your suitcase to bring home treasures, such as the superb Silican wines. Wear good walking shoes. Bring hiking boots for the volcano hike.

A very enjoyable week walking the Picos

A very enjoyable trip. The Hotel Torrecerrado is a pleasant hotel just a few minutes walk from Arenas De Cabrales. The rooms were basic but comfortable, there is a well stocked bar with a terrace that offers incredible views of the mountains. The staff are friendly and helpful. The evening meals were of exceptional quality, I really wasn’t expecting food to be so good. Lewis our guide was super friendly and took us on some very enjoyable walks. The Picos area is huge, we only scratched the surface of what’s on offer. Honestly, I had never even heard of the Picos de Europa before seeing it on the Exodus website, it’s an absolute gem that offers huge potential.

Most Inspirational Moment

Our guide showed us round his family home, a renovated farm building in an abandoned village, that was really special and unexpected.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lewis is a really nice chap. He is hugely knowledgeable about the area, not just the walking trails but also the history, flora and fauna. He's also a very considerate and safe guide who ensured we had an enjoyable time. 10/10 for Lewis!

Advice for Potential Travellers

We were lucky with the weather, sun all week (end September). However the area is prone to rain so bring suitable gear. The walking was tougher than I had expected, some member of the group struggled a bit.
