We had a wonderful experience on our first hiking tour, The hikes were wonderful and our tour guide, Rob Mason, was amazing, very knowledgeable and attentive to the entire group. In addition, Hotel Adler staff and accommodations were excellent.
Seeing the Dolomites and meeting the people in the group and along the hikes.
Rob Mason is a phenomenal leader who ensured that we were prepared for the coming days activities by imparting details of what to expect and what would be needed to prepare us for success. In addition, his knowledge of the area, to include history, sites, monuments and nature, was amazing.
I’ve travelled a few times with Exodus and appreciate the group size and varied make-up of the groups, itineraries with balance of organised and free time, professionalism of the guides, information flow, and the price/value ratio.
The Art Nouveau tour in Riga was excellent. The hotel in Riga was also a highlight as the roof terrace was a wonderful place for views, drinks and dinner. Dinner on our last night in Tallinn was an inspired choice with 'ancient' dishes and a private space. Geat fun. The visit and tour of Rundale Palace was splendid. Such magnificence, unlike anything else we saw, and Olafs was perfect, knowledgeable and very funny. The personal stories from our guide gave depth and colour to the history. The to
Bob came to life as he told us the history of the region and shared some personal history, and as he got to know us. He was great communicating with us each day through the WhatsApp group and making suggestions for using our free time. He was always available for a while after we arrived at a hotel in case we had questions, and also each evening. He is very knowledgeable as I've come to expect with Exodus. He made sure to check on me the day I wasn't well which I appreciated.

Our tour guide. Artur, was wonderful! Very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of Albania. He was always checking on us to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made the tour truly special.
Our driver. Diu, was equally excellent: professional, polite, and very attentive throughout the trip. He drove safely, took great photos for us. His knowledge of the roads and local area was impressive.
The Mercedes-Benz van was clean, comfortable, and in excellent condition. I highly recommend this company and sincerely thank both the tour guide and driver for making my experience so enjoyable and memorable! 😊🙏🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Discovering the rich history of 🇦🇱 Albania and seeing how welcoming the local people are.
I highly recommend Exodus and sincerely thank both the guide and driver for a memorable experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Bring comfortable walking shoes, and be ready to learn a lot and see some amazing places!
Excellent trips, well planned routes, superb local leaders, very well organised with reliable and efficient transfers. Sicily was a superb holiday enjoyed by all
Ragusa, Modica, Noto and Syracusa - plus swims and the beautiful fishing villages right at the southern tip of Sicily. The Agriturismo was also lovely for a two night break.
The best we've had in 7 trips with Exodus. His knowledge of the places and his safety briefings were excellent
Enjoyable hiking trip, using small, locally run hotels which are clean and safe, with really good basic food using local.ingredients. excellent guide on this trip
The hiking, the food, the hotel, the guide
One of the best Exodus leaders I have had. He made the trip with his love for animals, nature and Bulgaria. He has a deep knowledge for flora and fauna and shares it generously and in a relatable and interesting way.
As an Exodus employee, this was my first Exodus trip and a fantastic way to experience Costa Rica firsthand. Our leader, Johnny, was outstanding throughout, and the combination of incredible wildlife, beautiful scenery and a welcoming group atmosphere made it a memorable experience. A great trip for solo travellers and groups of friends alike.
We have been with Exodus on numerous occasions and really enjoy the type of holiday you offer with experienced tour leaders and a mix of wonderful local guides. There is always a good mix of free time and guided tours.
Villa Romana del Castele and Montreale. However the unplanned spectacle in Piazza Armerina with local children performing in front of our hotel in the Palio dei Normanni was quite magnificent.
Tiziano was invariably patient, knowledgeable, courteous, fun, trustworthy and efficient. As we were a small group with his local knowledge he was able to take opportunities for a couple of extra stops which were both interesting and enjoyable. We feel he went above and beyond the call of duty on many occasions.
We had a glorious week.
Achieving all the heights. Meeting an excellent mix of people. Being guided by Sarah.
Sarah was a true star.
Try this holiday, it is inspiring.
Have used Exodus hiking trips for many years. A very memorable week and our guide Micheal was great. Location of the farmhouse/hotel was stunning
Our location. Day 2 walking. Hotel & meals.
Excellent. Local knowledge excellent.
I feel a little guilty about the three stars when others have scored this five but my level of expectation was really quite high after reading the reviews. In particular I was looking forward to wonderful scenery but instead we encountered uninspiring vistas and roads strewn with litter.
The trip notes promised mainly traffic free roads, but that certainly was not case, in particular the last ride was mostly along busy ones and the final approach into Syracuse was definitely not for the faint hearted.
The towns we visited were interesting and pretty and were the highlights of most of the days. The cyclings was the easiest I’ve experienced on an Exodus holiday (this was the twelfth ) and with, the exception of the ride up to the Cassibile Canyon, some of the dullest.
I’m probably being too negative but I did feel short changed. We actually did enjoy ourselves – the hotels were good, the weather was hot and most days we were in the pool by mid afternoon; there was a lot more down time compared with other Exodus excursions. Also loved the Sicilian food and wine and our leader was exemplary.
In general terms I’m not sure the fifty fifty split of e-bikes and ordinary ones works; we were very spread out, the e-bikes and stronger or competitive riders way out ahead and the stragglers a long way back. Saddle Skedaddle stipulate the following on one of their trips “Please note, if opting for an e-bike, the pace of riding will be set by the hybrid riders”. Perhaps Exodus should have a similar policy?
I thought the fifth ride was great - best scenery of the trip, a nice climb and super switchback descent. Loved Syracuse on the Saturday night, locals quietly enjoying themselves late into the night - as much ice cream as wine being consumed.
I was impressed by Michele’s professionalism and attention to detail. Trip ran like clockwork. Sebi was also an absolute brick - a super guy
I personally could not recommend this trip but each to their own and I think everyone else in our party loved it.
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review, and for travelling with us again – especially as this was your twelfth Exodus trip.
We’re really sorry to hear that parts of this itinerary didn’t live up to the expectations you had based on the trip notes and previous experiences with us. In particular, your comments around the scenery, road conditions and level of traffic are disappointing to read, as these are key elements of the experience we aim to get right when designing and maintaining our cycling routes. Your feedback on the final ride into Syracuse is noted as well, and I appreciate how that would have felt at odds with what was expected.
It’s equally important for us to acknowledge the points you’ve raised around pacing and the mix of e-bikes and standard bikes. As you’ve highlighted, this can have an impact on group cohesion, and your suggestion around setting the pace based on non e-bike riders is a helpful one that we are already discussing internally.
On the other hand, we’re really pleased to hear that there were aspects you enjoyed, particularly the towns visited, the food and wine, and the time to relax. It’s also great to hear such positive feedback about Michele and Sebi – I’ll be sure to pass that on to them.
We genuinely value feedback like yours, as it helps us refine both our itineraries and how we describe these experiences to future customers. While I’m sorry this trip didn’t match the standards you’ve come to expect from Exodus, I do hope we’ll have the opportunity to deliver a better experience for you on a future adventure.
