Fantastic trip in Vietnam!

This was a really incredible trip! From North to South you get to see the ins-and-outs of this beautiful country, the beautiful sights, the friendly people and the tasty food! I feel that it was the perfect duration for the locations visited – I didn’t feel rushed on any days but also don’t feel that we were roaming around aimlessly at any point! Just an action packed trip from start to finish and one that I would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking about going for it… you won’t regret it!

Most Inspirational Moment

The most inspiring moment for me was the home-stay visit at Xom Chien village. It's a very tranquil stay, you are right in the beautiful country side and rice fields, and are welcomed and hosted by the very friendly community in this village. The locals are very generous and friendly and are excited to welcome you to their home. This homestay being right near the start of the trip is a very good bit of trip planning as it allows you to slow down, take in the scenery and the culture and really unwind and start your holiday in a refreshed mind state.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Toan was an amazing guide! He was fun, friendly, funny and knew just about everything there was to know about his country! He provided such a deep knowledge on the history and culture of the areas we passed through and also helped us to learn some of the local language to help us communicate with the locals better. Just a really great guide to spend your 2 weeks with!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Depending on what time of the year you travel, bring fewer/lighter clothes than you're planning, it's hotter than I expected! Also bring some thin but warm layers for the overnight train. I personally didn't get very cold, but some of my fellow travelers were quite cold through the night.

Highlights of the Amalfi Coast

The trip was amazing I think bc there was a great balance between freedom to explore and guided walks. Our guide, Veriano, was quality the entire trip. He made excellent suggestions, kept our whole group on time & informed, and kept himself available to us through the entire trip. It was simply amazing. I’ve already recommended Exodus to friends and family. We are also actively looking to book our next Exodus trip soon.

Most Inspirational Moment

Veriano made the trip. Revello was my favorite outing but it was all amazing.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Veriano was awesome and he really wanted to make sure we had our seatbelts on.

Walking The Amalfi Coast

My experience was excellent, from my initial request through to the end of the trip. Your staff communicated well and clearly, I felt prepared for my trip, and the trip itself was terrific — very comfortable hotel, great guide, hikes and other experiences well organized and really fun,

Most Inspirational Moment

Our hike along the Path of the Gods and the visit to Mount Vesuvius.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Nico was terrific — communicated very clearly, responded quickly to questions on our WhatsApp group, led our hikes carefully, ensured we were all safe and comfortable, and provided a wealth of information about what we were seeing and doing. He had helpful suggestions for activities and places to visit that he wasn’t directly leading, and made sure we knew what to expect every day. He’s also funny and sociable.

Highlights of Ancient Greece

Varied scenery, good pace, excellent guide

Most Inspirational Moment

Fantastic tour guide Great group of travellers Everywhere we visited was of interest

Thoughts on Group Leader

Georgios shared his vast knowledge very sensitively, he told the history through stories, appropriate length to sustain interest, showed us very clear pictures of how the buildings would have looked when they were first built. All this helped bring the ancient history alive. He was thoughtful throughout, moving at a pace to suit everyone, stopping regularly and choosing shade for the stops. If he (rarely) didn't know the answer to a question he would research and provide the answer later.

Southern Africa Safari: Kruger & Mozambique

The guide Petro was brilliant and the driver and safari guides were very knowlegeable. We saw a wide range of wildlife. Transport in the small bus made it very comfortable.

Most Inspirational Moment

Hluhluwe imfolozi Park

Thoughts on Group Leader

Petro was an excellent guide in every way. I cannot fault her. She was very much a part of the group and was extremely knowledgeable.

Machu Picchu & Galapagos

It was a great idea to combine a trip to Cusco/ Machu Picchu with one to the Galapagos- it feels like I’ve been on two distinct holidays. Both were outstanding and rich experiences. We saw an incredible amount in the time and were expertly guided by Holger in Peru and Richard in the Galapagos.

Most Inspirational Moment

So many. The Inca Trail trek was amazing, challenging enough but very enjoyable. There had been a mudslide and we had to rerouter to KM106 but all was well-managed. Circuit 3 is a great tour of Machu Picchu- possibly better than Circuit 2. I had high expectations of what I'd see in the Galapagos, but these were exceeded. Thank you!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Holger- warm, calm and patient; highly organised and extremely knowledgeable; humorous, emotionally intelligent and supportive. Holger put in a huge effort to ensure everyone had the best experience they could. Attention to detail- he checked everyone's oxygen levels to monitor how we acclimatised to the altitude. Ensured everyone had great photos of Machu Picchu- he knows the best spots/ techniques. He worked tirelessly on his nights off to take people to the best coffee shops. A wonderful Exodus guide. Richard-hugely knowledgeable about the Galapagos flora and fauna; appears relaxed but is highly organised behind the scenes; huge attention paid to safety while snorkelling- people of all confidence levels were well supported; with him, we travelled as welcomed guests. Any problems were quickly solved (eg- one of my rooms had a mechanical fault; one person needed a different mask.) Richard also took lots of high quality photos/ videos for us so that we could enjoy simply being with the wildlife, if we chose to. Both were wonderful guides!

Walking in Andalucia

I was met at Malaga Airport by your Exodus Rep and we were immediately taken to a comfortable transfer small bus which was very comfortable with an excellent driver

Most Inspirational Moment

The Tapas lunch on our first day of walking, and the trip to the Sierra del Grazalema, as well as the amazing meals at our Cortijo. However our Guide Peter was excellent and every day was a highlight with him leading.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was very sociable and imparted on us a lot of local knowledge, including history, local customs, advice re what to do and see on our day off, was very aware of anyone who was slightly slower and accommodated the pace to help them, and basically a lovely man.

Amazing

Great week discovering mountains of Tuscany
Accommodation was great; going back in time, with comfort. Food outstanding.
A family atmosphere all around.
Great hikes, some more difficult, but it was all detailed in notes.
Loved the Medieval walled city of Lucca, on day off.

Most Inspirational Moment

The last day hike to Monte Prado Views all the way up, and all around

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara was outstanding; a machine of a guide! Including everyone, encouraging all hikers to do their best. Her pride and knowledge of the area is obvious. Very involved with all meals. Great sense of humour. Would go back in a minute. A wonderfully kind human A gem for Exodus

Advice for Potential Travellers

Remember to read notes with hike elevation; as stated, bring layers for summit. Fell in love with the local “ Farro” grains, brought some back home

Cycle the Balkans

We had a super holiday. Rei met us at the airport, taxi to hotel. He was very nice and efficient throughout. We were a small and happy group of 7 and just perfect with Rei and Remi, our driver. The e-bikes were excellent for the terrain, set ready and charged for us every morning. The daily rides were perfect and adventurous, Level 5/6 was fine. Due to unforeseen road closures, Rei changed the route to care for us, finding break stops at the beginning of the season when some had just opened. Food was ordered in advance using local dishes as agreed by all in group at start of holiday, and paid at end of holiday. This worked well and saved a lot of changing of currency and long waits for meals. The hotels (rooms, staff, breakfasts, evening meals) were excellent, and the best in the towns we visited. Rei and Remi were with us for meals and we formed a close fun group. We cannot fault our whole holiday. Thank you

Most Inspirational Moment

The mountain passes were amazing. The e-bikes took us up without a problem. The landslide closed our route over the Durmitor mountains but Remi drove 100km around the mountain to our farmstead. Snow prevented us from cycling one day but it was fun to have a snowball fight! Swims in Lake Orchid were pleasant. I loves speaking with the staff and local people. Food was varied, healthy and freshly made.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Rei Proko was an excellent leader. He looked after us so well. I felt at ease with him from the beginning when we met at the airport. He had a sense of humour and was very efficient and helpful. He led us along busy town roads then, when safe to do so, let us go at our own pace meeting up later at say 10km / coffee shop. It suited our group. He looked after us totally. Rei was super.

Estonia to Finland Adventure

Really good itinerary to make the most of both cities (Tallinn and Helsinki) plus some time out in nature. Really good local guides who made everything very easy. Great bus travel – very comfortable and spacious.

Brilliantly tailored programmes to make the most of the trip. Great guides and all logistics taken care of so you don’t need to worry about anything.

Most Inspirational Moment

Tallinn old town. Walks in national parks, Suomelinna (sp?) Island tour.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was excellent, diligent, knowledgeable and nothing too much trouble
