Cycling in Albania

Leader excellent, scenery wonderful, group members supportive and great fun, local hotels great, food amazing, cycling challenging

Most Inspirational Moment

There There were lots of highlights! The cycle on the 1st day to Germenj where we stayed at a working trout farm and encountered cows with bells for the 1st time was brilliant as was the ride to Kelcyra and the coffee stop by the river followed by the tour of Gjirokastra. The snow topped mountains and the views were magnificent and the trip to Butrint very interesting. The goatsed

Thoughts on Group Leader

Dhimitri was excellent! He explained the route, distances, elevation etc accurately and clearly and divided his time equally between all the group members. He was attentive and super approachable. My case did not arrive at the airport and he spent a lot of time chasing BA on my behalf

Cycling Croatia's Dalmatian Coast

The trip was well paced and planned. Our guide was warm and friendly. We had opportunities to push harder or relax more. The folks in the group were lovely.

I knew what to expect at each turn! From booking to our tour. Process was so clear and helped me get excited about the trip and extra assured while I was on the trip. This is my second Exodus tour and will not be my last!!

Thoughts on Group Leader

I don't think it's an surprise that Alan was a wonderful leader. You can tell he's very knowledgeable about all the parts of the trip. He made excellent suggestions on where we could do more or less, when to venture out and when not to. He made the trip really great and I feel very lucky he got to show us a lovely bit of Croatia!

Walking Northern Tuscany

Good group size, beautiful walks, nice ambiance at the agriturismo

Most Inspirational Moment

The atmosphere at the accommodations, good assortment of walks, great suggestions for time off

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sara was exceptional, she has deep leading expertise and is clearly loved by the local community. Fluently bilingual, very helpful and accommodating with personal requests

Step into the Amazing Amalfi Coast!

We had a wonderful week walking the quieter part of the Amalfi Coast, seeing the coastline, beaches, small villages, wooded areas and climbing down a LOT of steps but they were worth the effort and aching legs to arrive in wonderful places!
The hotel is lovely with very welcoming staff and the food is traditional home made Italian which is really nice!
We enjoyed the little extras too like the pizza making and tasting evening, the kitchen tour and a visit to the local cheese maker (THE best ricotta cheese we have ever tasted!) We didn’t want to leave!

Most Inspirational Moment

Turning the corner and seeing the Vesuvius crater for the first time! Visiting Ravello which is a gorgeous little village and much quieter than bustling Amalfi!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Veriano had a great sense of humour and shared his knowledge of the local area with us. He built in lots of rest stops, especially when negotiating the many, many, many, many steps! He always ensured that everybody was happy and didn't feel rushed which made it a good experience all around!

Advice for Potential Travellers

The best bit of advice is to train for the thousands of steps that you will walk on, especially 'step down' exercises to lessen the burden on your knees or use poles if you are confident with them. There were 3 walking and 1 sightseeing group at the hotel at the same time as us so be prepared for itinerary changes-we ended up walking 3 back to back 7 mile walks which can be challenging! Come prepared and have a fantastic time!

Ancient Egypt & Mövenpick Nile Cruise

Our guide Rania was excellent and extremely attentive.

Most Inspirational Moment

Brian - the pyramids Pauline - the death mask

Thoughts on Group Leader

Rania was highly qualified and what she didn't know wasn't worth knowing! We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have had her as our guide.

Walking the Great Wall

Excellent organisation. Trip notes were spot on. Food was excellent throughout, accommodation comfortable and group engaged well.

Most Inspirational Moment

The climbing, the views including a beautiful sunset, meeting some fascinating locals, enjoying the company of similar minded people.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Tony is a lovely guy and very helpful with managing local food choices and making arrangements.

Stunning views, stunning hotel and good workout!

Blue skies, sun and absolutely stunning mountain views where the Dolomites meet the Alps. This trip offers plenty of fresh air and exercise. And then after trekking all day coming back to relax in the sauna of the gorgeous Adler hotel and then look forward to a delicious evening meal in the hotel’s beautiful dining room, or wine cave was a real treat. The hotel staff were just fabulous.

Most Inspirational Moment

So many incredible moments: enjoying fresh, deep snow, blue skies and sunshine; trekking through woods and feeling on top of the world on the Durrekopf peak and Monte Piano with spectacular views across the Dolomites; the cosiness of the hotel and wellness centre and from a culinary point of view, the Adler breakfasts and the Strudel at the Alp Nemes Hutte were something else!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader Jef was brilliant. He was super organised and his evening briefings were thorough and clear. He was also hugely knowledgeable about the mountains and the nature. He was kind and considerate e.g. in helping with snow shoe and feet issues, but also 100% professional and I felt he had everything fully under control. He was probably one of the best Exodus guides I've been away with.

Advice for Potential Travellers

We did 50km over 4 days on snow shoes and spikes and part of the 12km treks we did involved fairly long ascents. The snow was also pretty deep in places so if you slipped off the track you might end up up to your thigh in fresh snow which was a lot of fun. I'm definitely not unfit but let's put it this way, with the altitude and trekking most of the day I slept really well. I would suggest a bit of uphill training wouldn't go amiss on this trip.

Wonderful introduction to a quieter, less touristy Japan

Delightful variety of experiences, wonderful group leader. This trip was definitely more than the sum of its parts. Many of the visits to artisanal towns, ie, for porcelain, candles and to castles didn’t really resonate with me personally. There were more stays in cities than I would have liked, as I expected this to be more rural-oriented. Yet somehow, the whole experience, with the outdoor-orientation of the group, great food, wonderful hotels, an unforgettable group leader, added up to a trip I’ll always cherish. It was a perfect introduction to Japan for me.

Most Inspirational Moment

Kosanji Temple in Sedota after a day of cycling the Shimanami Kaido cycling route; the Mount Aso hike and area, as well as the hotel there

Thoughts on Group Leader

One of the great highlights of the experience! So kind, sweet, attentive and organized. A remarkable human being!

Advice for Potential Travellers

I am a pretty experienced hiker and cyclist, yet I found one of the hikes a bit challenging and the cycling pace a bit fast, given it was my first ride of the season. However the group was organized flexibly so the slower hikers or bikers were accommodated. Though I'd initially thought that the days separated from our main luggage would be an inconvenience, it turned out to be a blessing, making for easier, lighter traveling.

Tuscany Walks & Chianti Wines

Our tour guide Tomasso on the Tuscany walking tour was FANTASTIC!! He was incredibly knowledge, warm and inclusive. He was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. You must use him whenever possible.

Most Inspirational Moment

San Gimignano, Cesna winery, Siena Contrada visit, hiking in the countryside

Thoughts on Group Leader

Tommaso was amazing!! He was an exceptional tour guide and I would recommended him over and over again. He made the experience so very enjoyable and special. He was just a pleasure to spend a week getting to know and hang out with.

Par excellence!!

Super happy friendly locals, very varied terrain, loads of wildlife and a wide ranging introduction into Sri Lankan culture.

Most Inspirational Moment

An assault on the sense. Bright colours in flowers and clothes. Excellent tasty food everywhere. Paddy fields and mountains. Challenging cycle climbs and some stupendous descents.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Suresh was amazing. Anticipating everyone’s wishes and delivering. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Have no doubt this is one of the best. So glad we went.
