Interesting destination, excellent tour guide, good hotel and an exciting programme.
The gardens at the beginning and the trip to Porto Santo.
Isobel was an excellent leader. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic about her country. She was patient always helpful and very conscientious. We could not have wished for a better guide.
Andorra is a beautiful country and the Exodus trip perfectly captures the essence of it via the organised walking trips. It is a mountainous area, as such, be prepared for walking at higher altitudes and a reasonable amount of uphill sections, as such, a good personal physical condition is recommended. You will be rewarded with spectacular scenery and panoramic views of the area. Alfonso is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable of the area and attentive to the needs of the group with impeccable organisation to ensure everyone gets the maximum enjoyment from the trip. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary then I would highly recommend this trip.

What an adventure!
This holiday combines two iconic destinations into one trip. It’s a busy, fast-paced itinerary, full of stimulation and excitement so be prepared!
In Peru, as well as enjoying Cusco, you’ll visit incredible ruins nearby and in the Sacred Valley and learn so much about the Incas and how they conquered, and then retained control of, vast swathes of South America. Holger’s in-depth knowledge of all things Inca helped us to piece together this information into a coherent whole so that we had a real insight into the civilisation. You’ll also have the opportunity (for no additional cost) to complete the One Day Inca Trail. Machu Picchu does not disappoint and, as well as being technologically fascinating, is absolutely stunning.
In the Galapagos, you’ll island hop your way to San Cristobal, Floreana, Isabela, Santa Cruz, Isla Lobos, Bartolome and Las Tintoreras, seeing every kind of wildlife imaginable. The animals really are everywhere, in large numbers and just don’t mind you being nearby. It’s a hiking, snorkelling and photographic extravaganza (and Richard will share all his videos and photos)!
-Machu Picchu. We saw it twice- in atmospheric cloud after the Inca Trail and in brilliant sunshine on the morning of the tour. -Seeing the sheer extent and technological achievement of the Inca ruins. -Diving into warm waters and swimming with turtles, rays, sharks, sea-lions and so much more. -Seeing incredible endemic wildlife like the blue-footed booby, the giant tortoises and, of course, the marine iguanas.
We were fortunate to have Holger Collantes and Richard Ruiz as our guides. Both were exceptional in terms of their expertise, attention to detail and absolute commitment to ensuring everyone had the best experience possible. They were warm, generous with their time and considerate of our safety (while at altitude and while snorkelling, especially). They were also fun! As always, the quality of Exodus' guides really enhance the trip.
-If you're a regular walker, the One Day Inca Trail is well within your capability. And don't worry too much about the Monkey Steps/ Gringo Killer. They're fine! - Circuit 3 is a great tour of Machu Picchu. -You can leave your trekking/ cold-weather gear at Vieja Cuba Hotel in Quito while you go to the Galapagos. -It's useful to take your own snorkelling gear, if you have it.
This is an amazing trip and actually was better than my expectations. Crossing four countries but focusing on Namibia. If you love varied landscapes and animals this is the trip for you.
Too many to mention! Helicopter ride over Victoria falls, a week old elephant in Chobe, Jackal sitting in between the tents in Sessriem, numerous animals in Etosha, small animals in Swakopmund, exceptional knowledge from our guides, changing landscapes, climbing Big daddy! The hard work and attitide of our two guides Ian and Andy were both superb. So knowledgeable about the animals, countries and both delivered some fabulous meals. They were both the best!!!
Our group leader Ian went above and beyond. Nothing too much trouble, extremely knowledgeable and somehow spotted animals hiding in the national parks. Very sympathetic to the needs of the group and both Ian and Andy had a great sense of humour. If i do another trip in this area I would love for them to be my guides again.
Travelled in April/May this year. It was hot and warm in the evenings until Swakopmund it then got cold the further you go south. I had a good sleeping bag and layers but I bought a blanket in a local supermarket for less than 10$ and this was a welcome comfort. I had a lightweight down jacket which I used often especially in the morning and evening. Get a ZAR plug adapter. Card payments acceptable in most places. US dollars acceptable in Zimbabwe and Botswana. A small amount of Namibian dollars would be useful for toilet stops. They also accept US dollars in Namibia in some places and also ZAR rand. Tips are expected for extra trips about 5$. Washing is available in Swakopmund less than 10$ for a full bag. Trips: helicopter over Zambeze, sunset cruise, evening safari in Chobe, quad bike ride in Swakopmund looking for the smaller creatures, Table mountain and wine tasting.
Ideal introduction to a beautiful country
Spectacular scenery of the mountainous terrain
Alfonso was an excellent guide throughout the trip. Very knowledgeable of the area and its environment, attentive to everyone's needs and went the extra mile to ensure everyone got the maximum enjoyment from the trip.
If you want to immerse youself in Africa this camping trip is an excellent way to discover this amazing continent. There’s plenty of opportunities to discover its wildlife, scenery and culture. It’s quite full on and does involve some long drives but these are small sacrifices compared with the benefits that such a tour offers.
Watching sunrise over the Sossusvlie dunes in Namibia was an amazing experience but there were plenty of other great moments on the trip such as feeling the immense power of Victoria Falls, watching an amazing array of wildlife over a number of game drives, and walking around the plateau of Table Mountain in Cape Town.
The two guides on our trip were Andy and Ian. Across countless of trips over the years that I've been on these were undoubtedly the hardest working guides I've ever come across. Alongside this, they've both got an encyclopedic knowledge of Africa's wildlife and landscape and a great sense of humour to go along with it. You'll be very fortunate if they lead your trip.
Just because it's Africa don't expect hot weather all the time as it will likely be cooler as you travel further south so bring a warm jacket and a decent sleeping bag. Most of the time you'll be at the campsites so there's no need to bring lots of fancy clothes for going out as these are only needed for the few days spent at Swakopmund and in Cape Town. You can handwash clothes at the campsites but there's proper laundry facilities at Swakopmund. Most expenditure can be done using credit/debit card but it's useful to have some local currency for paying tips etc. Also, get stuck in when it comes to helping out with the camping chores. The guides will do the vast bulk including the cooking but give them some support with the cleaning up after each meal and packing away when leaving each campsite. The guides won't look for any help but they'll appreciate it if you do give them some support.
The guide, the driver, the accommodation, the food and the backup driver all made this a memorable trip.
cycling with others is a great experience: ferry crossings, visiting historical sights snack lunches provided were excellent
Very personable arranged great food in the restaurants we visited, nothing was too much trouble remained calm in all situations competent
Very good indeed – well chosen areas made it a varied and instructive trip – it gave a good understanding of the area. Very good leader (Giant Lorenzo Bacca) and trek leader (Maria Domenica) – both were very understanding of situations.
Farmhouse stay near Ostuni was perfect (Masseria Morronne). The town of Matera was worth staying for 3 days - magnificent
A wonderful guide and very calm and understanding
Very well organised trip with excellent guide. Generally discovering the beautiful scenery of Tuscany, visiting the nearby villages and towns and the trips to Siena and Florence.
Lorenzo was an excellent guide with in depth knowledge of the local area. He was very organised and made sure we had all the information we needed for the following day’s activities in good time. He was friendly with a good sense of humour.
Fantastic guide – Paulo. Great mix of cycling and cultural activities. Raf our mechanic was always helpful
Cilento, Paestum. Meals together and Ravello
Paulo is a gem. He really took care of us. He was always positive and helpfulf
