From the initial pickup at the airport to being dropped off the organisation and execution of this holiday/ adventure worked seamlessly for us. The information and sights we saw were brilliant.
The shear " madness" of the cities and the beauty of the coast and Halong bay give you a insight into the whole country.
Khoa was a credit to the company and to the Vietnamese people. He worked tirelessly to ensure we all had a complete and enjoyable trip. His efforts made sure everything worked.
Go with an open mind and immerse yourself in the country.
This trip was excellent-the first Himalayan experience, a highly thought-of trek through brilliant mountain and remote scenery in mostly ideal weather conditions with a great mix of fellow trekkers all led by a delightful knowledgable guide. The first week was spent trekking up the Marsyangaki River from to the remote high pass of the Thorong la then the circuit was completed by descending down the deep gorge of the Kala Gandaki surrounded by the high mountains of the Annapurna range. A euphoric feeling developed at the end of the circuit in Pokhara !
Definitely the crossing of the Thorong-la It’s a big long day with an early start and potential problems are weather and altitude. Just standing by the prayer flags in the sun and snow 17000 feet up with the group and thinking how we’d all got there was very moving.
What a cheerful knowledgable unflappable person! Faced with 11 disparate souls from entirely different backgrounds, he led, cajoled, and encouraged us throughout the walk. He was very proud of his country and did a very good job of explaining the cultural differences and challenges of Nepal.
Expect a good days walking most days. Expect to be breathless on the higher sections -the air though clear is much drier and thinner,and use sunscreens to protect against UV skin damage. Take your time ascending. Expect stomach upsets - some of us got more than we expected! Even with antibiotics

An awesome holiday that found the balance between being a holiday and an adventure. There was enough inclusive activities, both guide-lead and self-lead, to keep us busy with something everyday. For those who wanted to bolster their holiday with extras, then there were plenty to do so with.
Accommodation was great. Food was good and the staff went above and beyond.
We walked the Little Bear trial which was stunning as the season was on the turn between winter and spring gave a beautiful insight into both. And, of course, the Husky day was simply awesome.
Our group leader was friendly, funny, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to cater for all of us. He made our trip even more enjoyable.

Experiencing a new cultural experience
Fantastic! Sri Lanka is a hidden gem, a beautiful country and to explore it on 2 wheels you see it at it’s best. I’ve enjoyed all our cycle trips with Exodus, but this one in particular benefits from door to door cycling and it’s only the transfer from Colombo airport/return which you have to jump into the minibus.
Cycling along the river bank watching families swimming, women washing their clothes and water buffalo further downstream, not to mention all the wildlife.
Suresh was brilliant. I couldn't believe our luck as he has previously won Guide of the Year. Superb and the best leader in our experience. We will vote for him as Guide of the Year and hope he wins again. He couldn't do enough for the whole group and had his eye on personal attention to detail with each individual.
Just book it, you'll love this trip.
An extremely comprehensive but whirlwind tour of Jordan. A lot of time spent on the coach between destinations and physical activity ranged from almost none on most days to extreme on the Petra days. Very friendly people and excellent food everywhere. The sites and places we saw were stunning but there was often not enough time to take it all in. We felt safe at all times and there is no need to worry (at the moment!) about its geographical position!
Reaching the High Sacrificial Places and the Monastery in Petra, floating in the Dead Sea, Jerash and the jeep drive round Wadi Rum, which included watching the sunset while Bedouin made us tea over an open fire. All these were real highlights.
Eyad (aka Eddie!) was extremely friendly and caring with a great sense of humour and a lovely smile. He obviously loves his job and his country and is very knowledgeable about the places we visited and their history. There was often an information overload!!!! He enabled us to try a variety of restaurants and organized visits so that we missed bus loads of tourists and locals. We travelled at peak time but seldom met a lot of tourists. Eddie really made the trip. A huge thanks to him!
Be prepared for long drives in the coach and 2 long, hard days of walking in Petra. You are able to hire horses, donkeys or camels in Petra but it's not cheap. Maybe bring a walking pole? Bring a torch for Wadi Rum. Do your shopping in Aqaba - much cheaper than anywhere else. Dead Sea soap at the Dead Sea - £10, in Aqaba £2.50 !!!

If you want a non-stop, full-on journey with never a dull moment trip (and really don’t want a lie-in in the morning) – then cycle from the bottom to the top of Vietnam! Well to be truthful you don’t actually cycle the whole distance – but it sounds good! You actually cover 500 k on your good quality bicycle. The reality is to travel the whole country you have no choice but to spend a fair amount of time on the minibus, but it wasn’t a problem – just a fact. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of hotels – hard to fault anything about them.
The cycling goes from miles of completely flat through villages and countryside (where you whizz along at 14-16 mph regularly), to pleasantly undulating, with just two ‘proper’ climbs – one of which is 10k and seriously steep. One spectacular downhill journey for miles as a sort of pay-back!!
Fabulous food (lots of stopping off at local families along the route for lunch). A great group of 18 folk of varying ages and levels of fitness made the holiday fun and fabulous.
A couple of highlights for me - two nights on Whale Island (what a really fabulous place), a couple of nights in Hoi An which was great fun if you like cooking and getting clothes made, and the 14 hour train journey from Hue to Hanoi was just brilliant. Getting to grips with the traffic and cycling through some busy towns was hilarious - bonkers at times, but such good fun. Spotting the most unusual thing that could be transported on the back of a scooter was an entertaining hobby for sure.
The whole of our team of four was fantastic. They were superbly led by Son - who was unflappable, kind, experienced, efficient and funny and worked really hard to help us understand what Vietnam is all about!
Various reviews say pack light - it's good advice (although sadly I ignored it)! There's lots of packing and unpacking along the way so the less you take the easier it is. For example - you really do only need one swim suit, not 3, one or two pairs of sandals, not 4!!! Also there are so many shopping opportunities you need space to bring those additional essential purchases home!!!
