Essential Peru- What a trip, I would recommend to all

This was a fantastic holiday.with a good balance of experiances, tastes and transport.
There were long bus journeys but the scenery was so amazing you will see the local wild life, Alpaca’s, Condor’s plus many others it was never boring, even an erupting volcano on our trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were many, the trip to Machu Picchu, the homestay with mamma Flora,the floating island experience, Colca Canyon and Arequipa plaza's. Cusco and Arequipa city plaza areas are well worth spending time strolling about looking at the colonial buildings both day and night. Visiting on route the churches, cathedrals and convents was really inspiring and interesting either with or without a guide ( most have English translations) We were very fortunate to be there at the Corpus Christie festival in Arequipa what an experience it was.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sebastion was our tour leader, he did an excellent job looking after us, taking us out at night to eat in a variety of restaurants. He gathered us all together at convenient times to inform us of the following days detailed plan including how long on the coach and times between stops. His plan and timing were very accurate, with good stopping places and the viewpoints had good facilities. A very knowledgeable capable tour leader well travelled both in Peru and the rest of the world. I would be very happy to have Sebastion as my tour leader on every trip I undertake. He is an great asset to the company, well done.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Early morning starts were part of the tour ( we had additional early starts due to local strikes) these were cold to start with but by 0800 on most days the sun was up warming us up. The coaches we used had onboard toilet facilities but we had organised stop also at regular intervals. The Exodus office team did an excellent job rearranging hotels and flights due to the local strikes taking place. The local guides helped us get detailed information and a big thanks to Elious ( home stay guide) and Jenny (Colca Canyon guide). The recommended spending money for meals was accurate, ATMs and banks were found when somebody wanted them so no issues, retaurants took cards. Listen to the advice from the guide and tour leaders they are locals and know the expected conditions and potential outcomes. Look into altitude sickness before you go it can affect anyone -you will be at 4900 meters

Vigorous.

I rarely give ten out of ten, but this came close. The sun shone every day, I slepped well and didn’t put on weight. The walks were just right, leisurely as it said, I didn’t want a route march, I do enough of that. The group was assorted, what more can I say ! J

Fabulous cycle trip

A fantastic week in this beautiful part of Spain with a great bunch of people. Despite the wintry conditions (hail in May at one point !) we had a terrific week. The Camino is a fairly tough ride due to some big ascents , but you are well rewarded with fantastic views and some great downhills .
The tour leader , Alfonso , was great ; he was patient , knowledgeable and really a pleasure to be with for the week. Jose transported bags and supported on snacks and water en route and was great.

Most Inspirational Moment

Arriving in Santiago with Out group and leader after 6 days of tough cycling

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alfonso was fantastic - knowledgeable, patient , a great communicator and really organised . We were a big group so cannot have been easy to manage . 10/10 to Alfonso ! Jose who supported with bag and kit Transportation was also great. Nothing was too much trouble

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take waterproofs / warm Kit. In May we encountered rain and hail at one point ! Some of the long downhills require warmer clothing !

A Life Experience to Treasure

Walking the trails ancient Inca pavements provided breathtaking mountain panoramas and impressive archaeological sites seemingly at every turn, coped with a physical challenge including traversing the high point at Dead Woman’s Pass. Culminating in the truly stunning natural location of Machu Picchu. Our leader, Mike, provided a fascinating insight into Inca beliefs and their way of life that really brought the civilisation to life. At the same time he motivated, advised, cared for and entertained each and everyone! Our Cheskis support team amazed – conjuring 3 course meals from a tiny kitchen tent and portering all tents and equipment with a real style.

Truly unforgettable!

Vietnam Adventure

I cannot fault any aspect of this trip and can say without a doubt I had a truly unforgettable experience in this amazing country. The Itinerary is vary varied which allows you to experience the many different destinations, activites, culture and food throughtout the north, central & southern regions of Vietnam. All accommodation used was of a high standard and very centrally located which is another great bonus as you can experience more of a destination rather than spending time travelling to/from your hotel. The weather was very hot when I travelled in May, this did not affect the experience of the trip & I would throughly recommend this tour to anyone.

Most Inspirational Moment

The two highlights of my trip was experience the stunning scenery & sunset of Halong Bay and the beautiful lantern filled city of Hoi An.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our Tour guide Manh was truly amazing. Manh had a great personality, his knowledge & passion for Vietnam was clear to see and he provided us with endless information which we would not have learned if travelling on our own, (Especially how to safely cross a road!) Manh worked endlessly to ensure all aspects of our trip ran smoothly & no request was too much trouble for him.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just to go with the flow.

Book it.

The tour is brilliant, book it.
The hotel is lovely, all the staff were very helpful and owners not only speak English but were Leaders themselves so they know all about the walks and the area. The hotel food was excellent and there is a drying room, and washing line, so you can wash/dry clothes and boots. My room had a bath and a shower, heaven after a long days walk. Magnificent views from the South facing pretty garden terrace ( and the bar and restaurant) and drinks very reasonably priced.
Guide , excellent, knew the mountains very well, even when covered with snow! Very reassuring.
Long walks but very quiet, we hardly saw anyone each day, which was lovely (apart from Carres Gorge – take a hat as no shade) we were well off the main “highway” fantastic views every step.
And no hidden costs as a full breakfast, packed lunch provided and a 3 course evening meal.
