Angkor Wat temple. Rabbit Island
Thoughts on Group Leader
TV in Vietnam was an amazing leader. Very good organisation skills and included everyone though out the visit. Chester in Cambodia was such a knowledgeable young lady. Her sense of humour and kindness was infectious and outstanding. Rabbit in Thailand very helpful ( only had her a few days)
Colours of Rajasthan
Excellent trips covering a wide range of sights and activities. Fantastic leader who incorporated a range of extra activities to those on the itinerary eg walk through Bundi market and visit to local chai shop.

Taj Mahal, Jain Temple, Tiger game drive.

Outstanding. Ajay was committed 100% to making our trip as enjoyable and interesting as possible. He went over and above to ensure this and when any guests wanted to a particular extra thing he tried to facilitate it eg one lady wanted to consult an astrologer. He was amazing at helping us with ideas for our three extra days in Delhi.
Highlights of Northern Thailand
From start to finish every detail had been thought through & delivered. This was another highly enjoyable tour packed full of interesting places & activities.
Most Inspirational Moment

Nai was always there to help & offer information & support.
An insight into rural life in Sri Lanka
Get off the beaten track and see how ordinary people in Sri Lanka live, yet still visit many of the well-known tourist sights.
Most Inspirational Moment
Cycling the climb up to Nuwara Eliya (even though I pulled a hamstring close to the top and didn’t make it!) - not only is it a challenging ride, but the countryside it goes through is peaceful and idyllic.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I’ve been on many Exodus trips with some leaders well known to the Exodus community of travellers, but Ruwan was a gear ahead of the rest: relaxed, sociable, efficient, punctual, great at communicating the plan for each section of the ride, excellent at working with his support team and possessing an encyclopaedic knowledge of his country’s history, culture flora and fauna.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack a flannel - soaked in water and put on your head under your helmet it cools you down on long hot rides (of which there are many). Eat as much curd (buffalo milk yoghurt) and treacle as you can lay your hands on - it’s delicious.
Discover North Morocco & Chefchaouen
Well run and a good blend of organised activities and free time.
Most Inspirational Moment
The walk to the waterfall and the picnic. The guided tour around Fez.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mohamed was helpful and thoughtful. I suspect he did a lot behind the scenes to ensure our trip was a success. Everything was well organised.
Colours of Rajasthan
Covered the India experience I was hoping for. Very well organised tour, decent hotels and restaurants, interesting destinations, comfortable transport, a brilliant experienced guide who managed the group dynamics well. Sufficient free time, varied activities, journeys broken regularly with stops at well chosen venues.
Most Inspirational Moment
Hindu temple ceremonies, Ranakpur temple, Bundi fort & chai, fresh samosas, Ranthambhore park, Agra fort and Taj Mahal, Fatepur Sikri, Jai Singh.

Enthusiastic lover of Indian culture and history. Great rapport with the group. Very well organised and experienced when arranging visits to sites, sampling street life, maintaining safety in crowds and health precautions.
Finnish Wilderness Week
You organised a truly unforgettable week in an arctic wonderland
Most Inspirational Moment
The hike to Riisitunturi, cross country skiing, the Little Bear Trail and other walks around Oulanka, and the fantastic guides you have in Thoomas and Joonas. There knowledge, kindness, humility and love for nature and their local environment was inspirational

Outstanding, inspirational, whatever you’re paying him it isn’t enough!!
A Week in Oman
The itinerary is well planned and varied, the accommodation is great and the prices are good considering the number of experiences we have.
Most Inspirational Moment
Travelling in 4 x 4s along mountain passes; camel riding; visiting Bedouin people; staying at the Arabian Nights Resort; the kindness of the Omani people and our super tour leader.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Umar was friendly and got to know everyone in the group. He was organised and had a lot of knowledge and love for his country that he was keen to share.
Rich wildlife, but otherwise somewhat mediocre
This one week tour is 50% wildlife spotting and 50% long travel days. Wildlife is colourful, diverse and fairly easy to spot, but the experiences were hindered by unseasonably cool and wet conditions – unexpected, but nonetheless possible in February. Walks were often spent sheltering under the hood of my waterproof jacket and an appreciation of the Costa Rican landscapes was limited. Road journeys between hotels were longer than expected, often due to heavy traffic. The optional excursions were OK, but not great value for money. Unfortunately, Costa Rica’s high end tourist industry has become expensive and quite commercialised.
Most Inspirational Moment
Simple pleasures such as watching the birds come to the feeders opposite the breakfast table at Arenal a chance roadside encounter with a sloth. These moments felt more like an authentic Central American travel experience than the somewhat packaged included activities.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leader was cheerful, knowledgeable about the local wildlife and ran the tour effectively although he could have been better organised and clearer in his communication at times.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I added an extension to Punta Leona on the Pacific Coast to my trip. The resort is vast and spread out over the coastal dry forest. Although the beach was pleasant and there was some wildlife to see, the various tourist facilities on offer felt more like an overwealming choice of expensive options that made for a less relaxing end to the trip than I was expecting.
