Michele's Sicily
Fantastic adventure with a great guide, wonderful food and wine
A fantastic week of walking
We had a great week of walking in what felt like a very unspoilt part of Spain. We enjoyed the variety of walks (although one foggy day so can’t comment on that one too much) The weather last week of May was perfect for walking. The hotel is great, all food is very tasty and plentiful. We also thoroughly enjoyed the company of our fellow walkers.
Most Inspirational Moment
The Cares Gorge walk is truly unique.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Thomas was new to the job, he is passionate about his local area.
Advice for Potential Travellers
We found that walking poles were helpful on all the walks. Don’t miss a trip to the coast at some point, it is stunning & if you enjoy a swim in the sea definitely take a costume.
The best Exodus Adventure I have been a part of!
I took part in this tour from May 25-June 1, 2024. We had a fantastic tour leader, Stiina, who fit in so well with our group. She looked out for us during the hikes, making sure the group was safe and together and she had a great sense of humor and bonded very well with each of us. We had to be a bit flexible with a few days of hiking due to some rainy weather, but this is to be expected in the mountains. Flexibility and trust in your tour leader is KEY! She suggested alternative walks when it would not have been safe to do the ones as planned and we were able to still see amazing mountain views and partake in walks that have not been done before! Our group was great with the flexibility as well and we even as a whole decided to switch our free day so we could walk during a nicer day and explore nearby areas on a slightly more rainy day. The Hotel Adler is also fabulous! The staff are very attentive and go the extra mile for the guests. The rooms are beautiful, comfortable and clean. The spa was such a nice thing to come back to at the end of each hiking day as well. The food was phenomenal the entire week and they did an amazing job to cater to different food restrictions such as gluten free, vegetarian and vegan! We had two groups doing this tour during the same week and the leaders did a fantastic job to not make us feel like we were part of an overall large group. The other tour leader, Kris, was also fantastic and it was so nice at the end of the day to recoup with the other group members during dinner and chat about what they did and saw that day. Fantastic trip, great leaders, amazing hotel and the food will not disappoint!
Most Inspirational Moment
Summiting on our second hiking day and seeing the most amazing mountain views I have ever seen!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Stiina was top notch, 10/10!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Bring waterproofs as the weather can change at any moment and always better to be prepared. Many walking poles are available to borrow at the hotel and I do suggest using them, especially if concerns with joints on downhills. Be flexible! This is so important as you will never have a bad day of hiking, even if not exactly to the trip notes.
Mont Blanc Highlights
My sisters and I joined the Mont Blanc hiking group tour from May 25 to June 1. Our guide, Mike Napier, made the entire trip both enjoyable and informative. Through his expertise and attention to detail, he ensured everyone’s safety and provided valuable insights into the surrounding landscape. My sister, who needed assistance at times, particularly appreciated his attentiveness and thoughtfulness.
Besides having an excellent guide, our hosts (Tomas and Sol) at the chalet we stayed in were also outstanding. The meals they cooked for us during our stay were delicious and beautifully presented.
Overall, we had a fantastic time on the Mont Blanc hiking group tour. The guide’s expertise, friendly hosts, and excellent food at the chalet made this trip truly exceptional. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an adventure that combines great scenery, a variety of hikes, and a top-notch dining experience.

Walking the Amalfi Coast, based in Bomerano
A very ghood trip, every day was excellent. Hotel & food very good and really friendly staff. Best part was Tony, our Guide, a very relaxed approach but everything under control. In particular his invitations to meet his local contacts each day for our lunchtime sandwich / beer was an unexpected bonus. The Lunch in a Lemon Grove was the highlight. Exodus should encourage this approach – meeting the local population, buying a beer and chatting.
Most Inspirational Moment
Every day was as good as the previous one, no average days. Learning about Volcanoes, standing on Vesuvius listening to Ciro, a proper Volacanologist, was another unexpected pleasure. The Walk of the Gods was everything we hoped for and Ravello was the best town, unspoilt. All organised by Tony.
Thoughts on Group Leader
As stated above, Tony made our trip so much more enjoyable and relaxing - no maps required, no rush and no bus timetables! His local knowledge was very deep. His Yorkshire humour wasn't bad either!
Advice for Potential Travellers
We had no negative issues at all. The one restaurant in the town, family run, is also highly recommended for lunch on your arrival day, try the Latte Mozzarella Cheese, handmade 200 metres away!

Lorenc and Dina are great guides. Saw beautiful country and many sites
Thoughts on Group Leader
Great
A great trip (Just mind the stairs!)
A delightful way to explore the Amalfi Coast–blending regular hiking (especially the Path of the Gods) with cultural/natural highlights (Pompei, Ravello, Vesuvius).
Most Inspirational Moment
Looking down into Vesuvius' crater.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Roberta was a delight. Perpetually cheerful, knowledgeable and happy to share what she knows, well organized, attentive to people's individual needs. She was instrumental in organizing the day-off trip to Herculaneum. After she heard about the van driver's mistakes that lead to dropping us off in the wrong place causing us to lose precious time at the site, she apologized for the screw-up (though it wasn't her fault) and arranged refunds for some of the money we shelled out for trip. Not having her present on the free day illustrated how much we relied on her taking care of myriad details behind the scenes.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Every hiking trip has its challenging ascents/descents. The walk down the mountain to Amalfi is this trip's challenge--because of the 2,000 stairs. Even if you're fit, this atypical descent can place stress on your legs/feet. By all means, use poles. (The hotel actually has some available.)
Great leader,great group.
I think everyone really enjoyed exploring Sardinia.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Tony did a wonderful job.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you like hiking and excellent Italian food, try Sardinia.
Incredible
You take a big gamble on both weather and wildlife viewings on this trip but we were incredibly lucky with both. The scenery and polar bear sightings were out of this world. If you are willing to take a risk on both of these factors then this trip is an absolute must.
Most Inspirational Moment
Too many moments to nail just one down
Thoughts on Group Leader
There were many guides and staff on the boat, all of whom were absolutely outstanding.
Advice for Potential Travellers
You really are at the mercy of the weather so you need to be prepared for some rough days and the conditions change rapidly. Layers are the way forward!
Truly amazing
A fantastic country, with open and welcoming people who are delighted to see European tourists, incredible sights and inspiring interiors
Most Inspirational Moment
The interior of the Amur Timur mausoleum, a true wow moment…or arriving in Khiva to feel we were really on the Silk Road…no, the Registan or, or… in other words, the whole holiday
Thoughts on Group Leader
Takhir handled the usual “mixed” personalities with diplomacy and care. His telling of the stories behind the sites demonstrated his passion for history
