Well organised and led. A large number of additional activities and good variety of food
Walking in the Western Ghats
Excellent, well organised, good sense of humour, reacted to money crisis in India with practical and innovative counter measures. Provided many high quality additional activities.
Be prepared to enjoy the basic camping. Inspirational and attention to comfort
I enjoyed this trip very much; the accommodation was of a high standard throughout. I paid the single supplement and had a tent to myself on the camping days, this was very acceptable. However those sharing would have to get very close to each other. The walking days are described as moderate but I thought a couple of the walks would more accurately be described as hard or strenuous, particularly as the average age of the group was probably in their sixties.
Getting to the top of the second highest point in Southern India. The temples at Madurai. The night on the Houseboat - I would have been happy with two nights.
The group leader was very knowledgeable and was able to identify much of the wildlife. He always kept his cool and remained calm throughout the trip. Despite the extra pressure he must have been under due to India's demonetisation policy, i.e. the 500 & 1000 rupee notes were no longer acceptable currency and the shortage of lower value notes as a result.
Good trip but hampered by the weather of very strong winds. This curtailed the cycling but remaining safe was a priority & taken seriously by our guide. It also made it colder than I was expecting however very dry with no rain
Petra, being able to take time exploring on our own
Weal was very knowledgable & looked after all the needs of the group admirably. Also keen for us to have fun & enjoy our holiday
The cycling is not that flat several hills & some wonderful descents
We have just returned from Cuba having done the Cuban highlights cycle & a beach extension in Cayo Levisa. This is a fantastic trip with very pleasant cycling, trips to places of cultural & historical importance & some down time.
The bikes were much better than we expected, the cycling was relaxed & not too demanding & the motorists very mannerly. The roads were quiet. Full backup with the bus is there at all times which is great. It was nice to be able to leave all our things on the bus while cycling.
Trinidad is a beautiful city & cycling out of the city towards Playa Ancon was lovely. Staying in Casas Particulares in Trinidad & Cienfuegos was a highlight. Cycling with a great group & an inspiring leader made this an unforgettable holiday.
Freddy was simply amazing. Kind, courteous, really interesting & generous with his time.
If you want to really see Havana, spend an extra day or two there as time there on this trip is limited. Internet etc very limited so warn friends & family that you may not be in contact & then relax & enjoy the freedom from technology. If you have time, the beach extension to Cayo Levisa is very relaxing. Gel saddle pads are useful for the bikes & bring a water bottle.
A wonderful whistle stop tour of beautiful and vibrant Vietnam. A very varied itinerary in a country with a fascinating history and culture, fantastic food and drink and amazing landscapes. The Vietnamese were so hospitable and kind .It was my best holiday yet- I loved it all.
Exploring Hanoi and Saigon Halong Bay Cycling through paddy fields and past water buffalo and egrets
The guide was very professional and conscientious and his passion for his country was infectious.
Be prepared for a very busy holiday.
Just like previous Exodus trips everything was done to make our trip special.
Walking in the Western Ghats, truly a magnificant experience.
For a great holiday you need a great product and India has such a diverse offering and in order to be able to get the most from your experience you a good team of people to support the many needs of a diverse group of people, this we had in abundance. All of this needs a great leader and in Santosh Kumar we had one of the best and his organisational skills cemented the whole trip together. Added to this his knowledge and enthusiasm make him an exceptional guide who went out of his way to find extra added attractions during our days of travel. During our visit the Indian government made the decision to withdraw all 500 and 1000 rupee notes causing national chaos but Santosh took this all in his stride without any negative impact on our trip.
Bring some Gin, after two weeks and our case three we got fed up of inferior wine and bored with beer.
The trip ‘A Week in Jordan’ is an experience that can leave even the most literate and verbally gifted (‘gobby’) at a loss for the right words to describe it.
I was part of a 20-strong group that seemed to get on unusually well. There were some seriously seasoned travellers amongst us, yet we all came to the same conclusions, the same thoughts: time and again the destinations proved to be far larger and far grander than we had imagined.
Jerash (an introductory diversion I believed) turned out to be a wonder in itself. Huge in expanse, so intricately detailed in parts, and as yet still so unexplored.
In the West the word ‘Biblical’ is often used to describe something enormously significant – in Jordan ‘Biblical’ sites are dotted all around – like puzzle clues to a hidden image too big for the mind to grasp. The landscape becomes more than background. It becomes a fiery crucible on which you can imagine humans struggling and suffering just to stay alive through key moments in History. This is a land that does not seem ‘tamed’ by humans. I suspect this quality is a factor in why so many of the world religions have had their genesis nearby?
But that’s enough of the florid prose. Let us skip to the star of the show: Petra.
No images, no movie scenes (and there have been many) could ever capture the mind-blowing scale of this site. The famous ‘Treasury’ (as seen in Indiana Jones, Sinbad, The Mummy etc.) is just a particularly pretty door… that leads into a house of ancient wonders. The two days spent here are a lifetime investment.

Zuhair is (officially) the 8th Modern Wonder of the World.
1) Bring a sleeping bag ig going late in season to Wadi Rum (I stupidly did not, and died of cold). People cried. 2) Learn a handful of phrases (Thankyou etc.) - Jordanians are much more into politeness than most. 3) Try to convince yourself that you LOVE the 4.30 alarm call. Then go back to bed.
I booked this once in a lifetime experience with Exodus in the hope it guaranteed quality and they didn’t let me down. Our leader, guides and group were phenomenal. The walking was a little easier than I imagined and the scenery more spectacular, BUT dial down your expectations of the tea houses…they were variable. Some were totally fine, but a couple were barely heated. If you are hardy enough to put up with cold mornings and nights, book this trip without hesitation. I personally had no problems with altitude sickness and I didn’t take pills – much of the credit for that must go to the excellent pacing of the guides. It’s necessary, but the acclimatisation does drag the walking out over a lot of days and the way down is a literal anticlimax. That said, everyone should make this journey at least once in their lives.
The top of Kalla Pattar + the Khumbu icefall + Tengboche (spell check?!)
Fun, friendly, faultless. Team Tenzi!
Pack plenty of warm clothing in the winter. It was colder than I expected at the higher altitudes. Oh and LOTS of chocolate!!
Brilliant captivating exciting and hectic.
Wandering around the ancient temple ruins of Angkor Wat in awe at such an ancient civilisation.
Thanh was a very knowledgeable and inspirational group leader obviously extremely proud of Vietnam his beautiful country.
Make sure you try the popped rice in the Mekong Delta.
PtkkrBoth countries were great value.Laos is a country at the crossroads of the direction it follows.The influence of China is self evident and sad.Im grateful to see Laos as it is and not what it may become.
I think the Mekong River it was an incredible day finished by going to a huge local wedding that night Also one of the group who overcame difficulties that many people would not or could not.Always happy always supportive Made me accept the need to succeed and work at finishing each day
They were what one would expect and did the job to a good level in both countries Both guides were attentive and caring Thank you
Ride at your own pace and leave a little in reserve.If u like to descend at a frantic pace allow a little caution potholes are a curse as are some of the chinese trucks and cars not to mention odd domestic animals or small children.Otherwise great fun
