We found dealing with Exodus very satisfactory from first phone call to final departure from hotel at the end of the holiday. Price was reasonable and included reasonable quality accommodation offering comfortable rooms and amenities and good restaurant. Special mention for our guide Veriano who took great care of us throughout the trip.

Visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum; views of the Amalfi Coast from height; meeting other people in the group.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Veranio was a good group leader with a pleasant whimsical sense of humour. He was keen to show off his home area giving us interesting information about the history and geography of the area. He was also keen to ensure we were enjoying ourselves and put a lot of himself into the role of leader. He was obviously very keen to please us and needed reassurance that he had done so.
Well organised and thought out itinerary. Well paced trip that showed all the highlights. Very special to have local guides showing us around and meeting generous locals to meet and eat with.Superbly lead by our guide Hicham ( absolute star)

So many of those! If pushed then then the day we had in Fez, the Roman ruins (much more there than led to believe and beautiful setting) the Sahara desert and our stay up in Tighza for its scenery, the walking and the children we met. Of course the group we had got on so well. Great company.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Hicham was superb. He was engaging, knowledgeable, very organised and was clear in his instructions. He facilitated many opportunities to meet local people so we felt we'd experienced so much more than other trips. Our meals with local families was very special. He had a lovely sense of humour and ensured everyone was included. Definitely up for guide of the year!
The leader, Prathap, was exceptional and handled everything with great good humour and expertise. Every aspect of the trip more than fulfilled my expectations, and the quality of the leadership and administration was first-rate.

Hiking up Kirrigalpottha was memorable, and I loved some the colonial accommodation such as Hotel Suisse and especially Bandarawela Hotel.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Quite exceptional. Excellent in every way. My especial thanks for his extra efforts on my behalf to provide Gluten-free food options wherever possible.
It was a really great and often physically challenging experience, I enjoyed it immensely. Most of the days were very long with no relaxation time, much of this was down to the itinerary changes because the trains were out of action. Some of it was also due to a small number of slow walkers, but I guess you never know who you are going to get.
The tour guide Praphat Jayasinghe was excellent. He had excellent English, was friendly, organised and very knowledgeable. It was the first time the trip had been run plus there were some changes to the itinerary due to the recent cyclone, however everything ran smoothly. His expertise was obvious and we were fortunate to have him as our guide.

The views. Prathap’s expertise. He really went out of his way to ensure we were looked after.
I loved the holiday and that it allowed me to travel to places I would not have been able to go to on my own.
Most Inspirational Moment
Adams Peak, felt adventurous and exciting, even though it was so crowded at the top.
Tiny events along the trail - being invited to see a Hindu wedding and our guide giving us the flexibility and time to briefly become involved, seeing birds, interacting with locals.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I have already nominated him for the group leader award on the website, he was amazing: curious, kind, funny, flexible and adaptable to our needs, listened to what we liked and what we didn’t like.
This was my first trip with Exodus but it won’t be my last. The trip was wonderful, well organized with excellent support. Felt I got great quality for the cost.

Hiking through the beautiful and varied countryside of Sri Lanka. Hearing about the history and culture, seeing and interacting with the local people. The food was great too!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mak is an engaging, professional, enthusiastic and knowledgable leader. Our needs and comfort were always a priority. You can have a great itinerary but without a Mak in charge it’s just a hike. He is terrific.
Walking through the amazing tea plantations and seeing the tea pickers. Great walks and scenery.
The beautiful people of Sri Lanka who were so happy to see us. It was heartwarming to be met by the children as we walked through the local villages.
Lunches prepared for us, traditional and authentic cuisine.
Our visit to the Temple of the tooth in Kandy.
Our visit to the tea factory on our last day.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The tour leader Mak was absolutely brilliant. He made the holiday and his local knowledge was invaluable. He was very organised, a great communicator and he went the extra mile to make our trip memorable. The bus driver and his assistant were also excellent. A great team who looked after us extremely well, thank you.
Everything was perfect about this trip. Hicham was the perfect guide, extremely knowledgeable and understood the group dynamics perfectly. Hotels were excellent, locations and trips were fantastic. Our driver Said was great and extremely helpful. I have already recommended the trip to my friends down the gym.
