Thoughts on Group Leader

Amy was warm, professional and attentive to all our preferences for our many activities. All our travel arrangements were very efficiently carried out and Amy always went out of her way to ensure that we experienced as many local customs, foods etc. as possible - full marks!

Hike Spain’s Picos de Europa

It was absolutely wonderful – with a big proportion of the enjoyment being thanks to the guides. Alfonso for the hiking and Javier making sure that everything was working well. Two really great guys.

Most Inspirational Moment

I suppose that getting to the summit if any mountain feels likes an achievement, so possibly Pene de Main, but I loved every day of the week.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was pretty awesome. Everything was arranged well, he gave clear and timely briefings, was always full of enthusiasm and smiling broadly through. Very friendly to us all, helpful and so knowledgeable about the area, the mountains and many other areas of interest. He worked hard, but made it look effortless, to include everyone and made a good holiday and exceptional one.

Hike Morocco's Anti-Atlas Mountains

Wonderful trip that I’d be sure to recommend to others

Most Inspirational Moment

Remote and beautiful location where the interactions with the local people felt very authentic

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lahcen is a very capable leader with lots of obvious experience at leading this particular trek. He shared his great knowledge of the areas we passed through in a very engaging way that we all enjoyed. All logistical aspects were handled with a minimum of fuss and we always felt well taken care of

A very special week

This was my first Exodus trip and I was already excitedly researching my next trip a couple of days in. As someone with a busy job I found having everything smoothly organised very relaxing and it meant lots of care and expertise went in to ensuring each day was delightful and our time was really maximised to explore the area and enjoy ourselves. Our group truly became like a little family for a week; we had a lot of fun and I felt very supported by the kindness and warmth of everyone. The walks were spectacular and the location of the hotel is perfect for facilitating varied walks and activities. The food was a real highlight; fresh and authentic and different each night.

Most Inspirational Moment

During the Path of the Gods, which was truly stunning, I dropped my phone down a steep cliff. The group was very supportive and tried to help me find it but it had clearly dropped out of reach. Our wonderful group leader Veriano took lots of pictures of the remote site where it was dropped and then organised for his friends from mountain rescue to come and recover it! Hours later they abseiled down the side of the huge cliff edge and found it 20 metres down, unharmed! They then organised a relay of people to return it to me; an incredible level of service, generosity and care, and an unforgettable story!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our guide Veriano was exceptional - I thought a group tour might feel a bit like school but he was very funny and relaxed while also skilfully and subtly ensuring everyone was looked after and supported.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I have always wanted to go to Amalfi coast and I honestly can’t think of a better way of experiencing it. You stay in a quiet mountain village which feels really authentic and charming and seriously good value, away from all the busy tourist traps. Yet you get to really see and experience the beauty of the coastline and the colourful mountainside towns by foot and by boat.

Cycling Vietnam

The guide, Lam and his support team, Lanh, Giau and Y were magnificent. They looked after us very well and everything ran like clockwork as a result. They made us feel capapable and confident to do the most challenging rides safely.

Most Inspirational Moment

The smiling children who greeted us throughout all the villages. The whole trip was a highlight.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He clearly has a good relationship with his support team and we all benefited from their close team work. Lam made a point to ensure everyone felt included and confident about the arrangements.

Move away from the hustle & Bustle of Japan and explore the Lesser known Islands - A proper adventure!

I was travelling as an Exodus Staff Member: Immerse yourself in the various Onsens & Public baths, cycle, Hike and explore using mostly public transport! This trip had a little bit of everything, you felt like you were getting to see the real Japan, away from the bright lights. Having said that, we still saw some larger towns such as Nagasaki, Fukuoka (at the end of the trip) and Osaka (just one night at the start) so you do feel like you have scratched the itch of everything whilst not hanging around in one place for too long. After a busy day, you could relax in the hotels hot baths or swimming pool, it does take a little getting used to as a Brit who isn’t used to Onsens but once you do it’s an amazing post day relaxation. We saw the start of the Chery Blossom season having gone in late March early April so it was great seeing them bloom the further south we travelled. The food was so fresh and reasonably priced too – Overall as my first time travelling Japan, I absolutely loved it and will definitely be going back.

Most Inspirational Moment

Cycling blissfully along the Shimanami Kaido, we had stunningly sunny weather which definitely helped but the route, although along some roads (can't be helped sometimes) was a lovely change of scenary! The hotel we stayed at the previous night was also a highlight for me, the Hotel Cycle which was a great introduction for what was to come.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ayako was amazing, she was very informative, went out of her way to ensure we had restaurant options every night and that all our needs were catered for. She was proud to show us her country and also curious to learn about ours along the way.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This is a level 3 trip, so it's busy and the cycling and hiking days can be tough, depending on your fitness level. You mostly pack up a little bag and send your larger bag on to the next hotel so pack light, and be prepared to unpack a big bag and re-pack the bags. Sending the big bags along takes some time so even though you might be at a hotel for two nights, you could only have your big bag for one of those nights before you have to send it to the next hotel - Be prepared, I took so many clothes I didn't need so less if definitely more on this trip.

Manaslu Circuit Trek

The guide, assistant guide and sherpas were amazing, they made the whole trip very special. We were also really lucky with the weather and honestly the whole thing from start to finish was perfect, i loved it and also fell in love with Nepal!

Most Inspirational Moment

The highlight of my trip would probably be the pass day, it was very exciting leaving so early and being the only people out at 3am and then to see the sun rise and the mountains all around us. Reaching the top of the pass was a great achievement celebrated by all. I also loved spending time walking with the guides, they made it a special experience teaching us some nepalese along the way and I even got to go in to the kitchens of one of the teahouses to learn how to make my favourite meal!

Thoughts on Group Leader

I thought he was fantastic, very engaged, loads of knowledge, encouraging and very kind

Discover Costa Rica - Coastal Edition

Most Inspirational Moment

Everything!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Glenda is an amazing leader. We couldn't have had a better guide, she knew everything about flora, fauna and history. On top of that she was always smiling. And she's extremely well organised - every day she send us a whatsapp message about the next day: when to meet, what to bring etc.
