excellent trip with many highlights and brilliant guide –Son Nguyen

Explore and discover the Baltics

I enjoyed discovering an area of Europe I knew little about. Visiting many areas of all 3 countries. Guide well organized and itinerary good. Only problems were Tallin hotel (hot weather but no AC and some rooms no windows to open) and lunch dinner stops sometimes very slow service.
Hotels in good locations.

Fantastic

Just got back from an amazing week of cycling in this lovely country. Our leaders, Tudor and Livio were wonderful, so kind and considerate, so knowledgeable about this history and culture of their country, superb English, they made this trip fun and interesting. The cycling was challenging on varied road surfaces but the scenery, views of the mountains and seeing rustic farming methods, scythes, horses & carts etc more than compensated. At the end of a hot day of cycling Livio was there offering cold beer and watermelon. At each comfort stop he was there with coffee, tea, a sweet from the region and fruit. Nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation was great, very clean and comfortable, and the hosts welcoming. As a vegetarian I was well catered for. I can recommend this holiday.

Hard walks bring great rewards

This is a hard but doable walk that rewards you with enough views for a life time.
The fitter you are the more you can enjoy.
K2 and Concordia are unbelievable.

Sara Bull and the guides are professional and as well as ensuring you are safe give lots of encouragement.

A trek of a lifetime.

A beautiful place!

This was a lovely trip! The ‘Picos De Europa’ area in northern Spain is vast but little known and there are very few tourists compared with elsewhere in Spain. It is surprisingly ‘Alpine’ in feel, with beautiful with high, pointed mountains, interspersed with some lovely, flowery meadows. Goats, wild horses and light-brown cows with big bells wander around everywhere. We very much enjoyed walking in this area, with our friendly, competent leader, Nacho. The lovely, family-run hotel is simple but comfortable and very friendly – nothing is too much trouble. The home-cooked food – a choice of three main courses daily – is surprisingly good and the lunch ‘rolls’ were MASSIVE with lots of filling! Any fairly fit walker would love this trip and I would highly recommend it.

Fabulous sightseeing and walking holiday

Fun group, stunning scenery, enjoyable walks, lovely hotel, food and wine – what’s not to like?!

Paradise in Asturias

Having never heard of the Picos, but liking the pictures, I was pleasantly surprised at the grandeur of the mountains. A stunning location, you won’t go hungry nor will you be disappointed.

How many elephants does it take to fill a waterhole?

I always hope that my annual holiday will deliver a “wow” moment. This trip delivered three. Firstly, the trip from Sessriem to Walvis Bay was astonishing, passing through several radically different environments in one day – from the fringes of the Namib desert, via plains and mountains to the sea; then the incredible views from Vingerklip – reminiscent of California; then best of all the proliferation of wildlife at Etosha – we had 40 elephants young and old playing at the waterhole just yards from where we were sitting at Okaukuejo. Then there were the walking lions, the sleeping lions, zebras, springbok, kudu and a dozen giraffes at another waterhole. Oh, we finally got to spot a family of wild cheetahs after a long game drive near Namatoni. Mustn’t forget Dune 45 and Dead Vlei and the fact that often ours was the only vehicle on the road.

Dolomites

Excellent trip in amazing backdrops mixed with some demanding pistes and terrain. Our guide Martin was very engaging, knowledgeable and inspired confidence. He had time for everyone, and modulated the group well.

Inca Trail, Amazon Forest and Lake Titicaca (20 Jul-4 Aug)

Overall, a very well-organized trip by Exodus and I cannot commend enough our Tour Leader (Smithy) and also the local guides in the Amazon Forest (Joel and Moises) and Inca Trail (Johnny). Smithy, as a Tour Leader, has demonstrated excellent leadership skills in the midst of adversity esp after the Inca Trail wherein our train back to Cusco has been delayed due to unforeseen incident that is beyond of anyone’s control. Smithy has been very transparent of the situation and as a group I do feel we pull together and watch out each other. I think Exodus has been excellent in ensuring we will still continue our holiday despite of these setbacks.

This is our first exodus experience and will definitely be using them again.
