I thought this was an excellent week, with beautiful walks in spectacular scenery and almost no other hikers; fantastic flora and the excellent guide explained lots about the wildlife and history of the region which I hadn’t known much about. The local staff were very hospitable and it’s hard to see how the week could have been much better
Beautiful scenery- forests, mountains,wildflower meadows. If you like getting off the beaten track you will love this.
Enjoyed the evening meals in the hotel. Our group would meet for drinks on the terrace beforehand. It was a fun and sociable week.
There were many. I've never seen so many butterflies. Finding bear tracks.
Julian is a friendly and knowledgeable leader who knows so much about the local wildlife and flowers.
Take good walking boots, and waterproofs for the showers. They are occasional but can be heavy. Saying that, we were in t-shirts most of the time.
The overall trip was well paced, well organised. Great guide and very comfortable accommodation.
Visiting the pandas in Chengdu but all the food from start to finish if trip was excellent. Our guide Kris made sure we had opportunity to sample all the local cuisines.
Kris was in hand for all group members and while there were no major incidents there were some flight challenges which Kris excellently supported with. We had a mixed group but one that got on well woth each other and Kris on request of the group helped with lunch and evening meals most days ensuring everyone in the group got to sample the local food. Kros was very professional yet friendly throughout the trip.
This is the second time I have done Walking the Prosecco hills. The first time was 8 years ago in the autumn and I always promised myself I would go back in the spring/summer. It was just amazing seeing all the spring flowers in the hills, plus now it includes a trip to Venice for the day, which was very special.
The walk on the last day with all the spring/summer flowers and the trip to Venice, exploring the back streets.
Best tour guide ever. Just a lovely caring person. Always smiling. Nothing was to much trouble.
Very well planned trips and fantastic leaders. The whole process from booking through to the end is quality.
Seeing bear tracks & communication posts. The scenery, the fantastic walks, the wildflowers. The excellent food at the hotel. The wonderful company of the other members of the group. And finally, the person who made it all beyond fantastic was Julian our leader. What an amazing human being.
Julian is one of the best leaders I've had the pleasure of spending time with on an Exodus trip. What Julian doesn't know about the mountains, the history of Bulgaria, the local culture, the bears and other wildlife, the flora and even the weather, isn't worth knowing. He made every walk so interesting telling us stories, pointing out special plants, bear prints & communication posts, showing us what deer, boar & chamois prints look like.
Value for money. Great guides. Well planned itinerary
There was a highlight every day. Obviously Machu Picchu was wonderful. But other locations, like Arequipa, were unexpected gems
Honestly, could not have wished for a better leader in Luis. Also, in rainforest Roldan was exceptional.
As an Exodus staff member, I had high expectations for this trip – and it exceeded them in every way. Walking the Island of Madeira offers a fantastic mix of dramatic coastal trails, lush levada paths, and panoramic mountain scenery. The itinerary is well-paced, with each day showcasing a different side of the island, from rugged cliffs to tranquil forests. Accommodation, transport, and organisation throughout were seamless, making it easy to focus on enjoying the experience.
Walking through the misty Fanal Forest felt magical, with its ancient laurel trees, followed by breathtaking views above the clouds in the mountains – a perfect contrast in one unforgettable day.
Our leader was knowledgeable, friendly and shared great insight into Madeira’s culture, nature and history. His enthusiasm really added to the overall experience and made everyone feel welcome.
Come prepared for varied terrain and weather – good walking boots and layers are essential. Don’t underestimate the sun, even on cooler days, and bring a refillable water bottle. Most importantly, take your time to enjoy the scenery – this is a destination where every turn offers another incredible view.
This trip had a bit of everything, hiking, sightseeing and wildlife
I loved the hiking, the scenery is so beautiful. Seeing bears was amazing. The group i travelled with were great!
It was lovely to have a very local guide, he was very interesting and looked after us very well. He was very conscientious on the hikes to check everyone was ok
This is a fabulous trip if you love hiking and being in nature. In the whole week we only encountered one other person on the trails, so lovely. The terrain was varied with some longer ascents and descents but our efforts were rewarded with lovely views. Although there were 14 of us in my group we were all of a similar pace so the walks were very enjoyable.
The accommodation was of a good standard and it was so lovely to eat traditional Bulgarian and local speciality dishes everyday. There was plenty and the choice of desserts every night was a real highlight.
I highly recommend this trip. Go ahead and book it. You will not regret it!
Walking in silence to search for bears and wolves. The birdsong was amazing and we were all so excited to see bear tracks for a mother and cubs and adolescent male.
Julian is a passionate and enthusiastic leader. So knowledgeable on the trails, wildlife, animals, flora and fauna of the area. We all enjoyed his stories and talks and learning more about brown bears. He ensured the group were safe on the trails and made sure we were fully prepared for each walk and the quickly changing weather.
It can start off very sunny but the weather can change quickly so layers, shorts and long trousers and good waterproofs are a must. Hiking poles are useful especially on the descents although some of my group used these all the time. If like me you enjoy black tea or English breakfast make sure to bring some teabags although the local herbal tea was a nice alternative. I was grateful for my travel kettle! The trip notes are very accurate so if you feel like you would like more time in Sofia it really is worth arranging an extra night or two or ensuring that you have booked suitable flight times. A few of my group regretted not having a later flight.
Tour leader excellent: made adjustments to published itinerary with agreement from all guests to give a superior experience. Adjustments included organising a separate guided tour of Alberobello and swapping guided tour of Lecce from afternoon to morning. Also shared many useful hints and tips via group WhatsApp. Organised group meals in interesting local restaurants.
The masseria visit (olive oil tasting, pasta making and lunch) and different masseria for overnight stop. The guided tours of Matera, Alberobello and Lecce.
He was excellent in every way and was pivotal to the success of the tour. I particularly liked how he made suggestions to improve the itinerary and gained agreement from the group. Also particularly liked his use of a WhatsApp group for sharing information - all of which was super useful.
