It was a smaller than usual group (only 6) which was very helpful in providing a good group experience. I understand its the first year of this trip. The overall itinerary, walks and hotels are good. Exclellent guide ( Paulin)
A taste of the GR20. Discovering details of the maquis, Paulin very knowledgeable on the plants. Great time of year for wild flowers. Both Corte and St. Florien made very interesting yet contrasting bases.
Very caring and knowledgeable guide. Clearly used to more challenging walking. Very aware of walking health and safety.
As with our other Exodus adventures, the trip was very well organised with a comprehensive itinerary. We did a loop of the island and saw most things you would want to see. There was good mix of temples and other ruins (Greek, Roman, etc.) and we got a good understanding of the complex history of the island (given that pretty much every empire, colonial power, etc. over the last 3000 years had bulldozed their way through the island). Our excellent leader Tiziano (more below) introduced us to the culture, food, etc. of Sicily. The itinerary was full-on, but there was time to slow down and explore. The local guides were very good. A particular shout out to Vanessa who showed us around Catania and Neapolis with a fun, honest, and critical eye.
Roman Villa was amazing - so well preserved after so long. The walk in Zingaro Nature Reserve was beautiful.
Tiziano was the best tour leader we have had (after about a dozen Exodus trips). His knowledge of, and passion for, Sicily (and Palermo!), was astounding. And he brought a sense of fun to the trip which enhanced the entire experience. He went out of his way to ensure that we enjoyed ourselves and also understood the context of what we were seeing and experiencing. He put together an extensive list of Sicilian food for us to try. When one of the trip members had a fall and had to go to the hospital, he was right on it, ensuring that our experience was not affected while he took care of the individual. Tiziano is the only one to lead this trip, so you can be comfortable booking the trip knowing you will have an excellent trip and be well looked after.
The one downside of the trip was the level of accommodation, which was quite variable. This may be partly a reflection of the lack of TLC in much of the infrastructure on Sicily, so you might need to manage your expectations. We enjoyed the trip to Mt. Etna, but wished we had taken the cable car rather than doing the walk. The walk was extremely steep and slippery on volcanic scree. If you do the walk, take poles. If you take the cable car, bring extra layers and a very warm hat. We went in early - mid-May, so while it wasn't cold, it also was not super warm most of the time, so bring layers.
This is a whirlwind introduction to the Atlas Mountain at an affordable price. Thoroughly enjoyed my return to Morocco after 25 years away. It has changed a lot and mostly for the better. This tour takes you through the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, such beautiful scenery but there’s not enough walking in the mountains. I would have liked more time off the bus generally.
Sunrise in the Sahara and the views from Aït Benhaddou or sunrise in the Sahara The food we had prepared for us at peoples home was also so delicious.
Yusuf was very good and also ensured we got plenty of photo opportunities.
Take an extra day or two at the end and stay in a riad in the medina.
Overall a tremendous trip. It is very demanding and requires considerable fitness. Mt Fugi was tremendous to see.
Such beautiful trees and gardens .. even the moss was lovely!
Seeing Mount Fugi was a stand out moment. We were so lucky to see it so clearly on both days!
Charles was a very good leader. He was very good at getting the group (ages 26 - 77 years) through all the vagaries of public travel. Having lived in Japan he was knowledgeable on Japanese customs, beliefs and ways. Advice for Exodus. I found the journey Kobe to Kanazawa very tiring, travelling on three trains and a bus. I wondered if this leg could be modified possibly using private transport on this day. I also wondered if it would be possible to meet more Japanese people.
Travel one or two days before the start of the trip so that you are not tired at the beginning of the adventure. Our best meal was one where 4 of us ordered something different and shared. Our time in Tokyo was short so planning and booking venues in advance is the key. Enjoy it all!
This is a new trip and could do with some adjustments.
Be prepared for late (3 pm and later) lunch breaks - the cycling is all done before lunch. There is a quite a lot of off-road cycling, way more than is suggested in the trip notes, over rough terrain. If you are not used to cycling off-road 'gravel roads' often means rough, uneven, lumpy, bumpy tracks. The pace of the cycling is very slow (which was not due to the group members, but set by the group leader) which makes the lunch stop even later than it need be. There is a lot of cycling on shared footpaths/cycle paths which is necessarily slow. The second hotel (in Pula) is a long way from the town and there is nowhere to eat other than the hotel. To go into Pula itself you need to get a bus. The trip is new for 2026 so will perhaps evolve.
It’s now two weeks since I returned from Portugal and I wish I was back walking the wild Algarve. The unspoiled coastline was spectacular with few tourists, just surfers riding the huge waves.
Also what was so noticeable was the fact that there were no litter bins but also no litter anywhere – the environment is truly respected.
The amazing rugged coastal walks with an abundance of wild flowers.
Inês is/was unflappable!! Totally in control of the group, acknowledging and adapting to our various idiosyncrasies and providing us with a knowledge and understanding of the flora & fauna as well as the many species of bird.
I’m in my 70’s & relatively fit but I did find some of the days challenging. Most of the paths are on sand, some on rock/limestone and on some occasions you are scrambling up & down rocks. Boots with ankle support and walking poles were invaluable.
Excellent customer service at point of booking. The trip was extremely well planned and more than met our expectations. The local guide and driver were outstanding and the accommodation was of a good standard. Good value for money
The range of wildlife. We saw so much in a range of settings. Lots of monkeys, sloths, coati, birds, reptiles. More than met my expectations. Daniel was so knowledgeable and knew where to go to spot them. The different locations gave us the chance to see the diversity of this country. His knowledge also gave us an overview of the social, economic, political and cultural makeup. Daniel was superb
See earlier comments. Amazing
Extremely helpful in all aspects whether this is during the holiday or before. Everything is taken care of.
Tortugeuro was the highlight. Beautiful location and the boat rides were excellent.
Daniel was excellent. His knowledge, love and passion for Costa Rica knew no bounds. Friendly, outgoing and a brilliant guide. Nothing was too much trouble. He is a true credit to Exodus.
Another wonderful exodus trip, with knowledgeable, fun & thoughtful guide
The group, guide, location, accommodation, itinerary, wildlife, sounds of nature, basically everything!
A very calm, knowledgeable, fun and thoughtful guide, who looked after us all so well, particularly during a stormy hike across many streams. He was very diligent in ensuring the safety of everyone, whilst keeping it enjoyable.
It was a great trip and our guide Vanja was very helpful and looked after us all very well.
The waterfalls were spectacular.
Excellent choice of leader.
