Kerala & the Tropical South

I felt that the choice of locations and the expertise of the guide gave me a realistic and broad insight into the culture, economy , politics and religion of Kerala. Avery enjoyable and sociable experience with an interesting group.

Most Inspirational Moment

The tea plantation day, walking in the early morning, the tea factory and tea tasting. The early morning boat trip visiting the rope makers, and the other families along the river. My partner and I walked to a local park in Kochi and had a lovely time, sitting under the trees, chatting to a local family.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Fantastic in all respects. Vinod made the trip the marvellous experience that it was. So patient and kind, and such a warm personality, he is a delight to talk to. He got to know the individuals in the group amazingly quickly, and showed much care and thoughtfulness, looking out for those in the group who needed support on any particular occasion, and in such a subtle, tactful manner. He was ever present in ensuring our trip ran smoothly and we never saw him switch off for the full fortnight.

Amazing trip, Jordan is a must see!

Jordan is brilliant, the culture, the landscape, the people and the food are fascinating. A safe place where we felt very welcomed.

Most Inspirational Moment

So many!!! Petra, the desert & our group.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Amer is so passionate about Jordan, the history and the culture, and his passion brought everything to life. He managed the delicate balance of including everyone, addressing individual interests and keeping us all on track without us feeling rushed or ignored. Even people not interested in history were interested in how Amer brought ancient civilisations to life. He set us up for our free time really well as we went armed with information that allowed us to engage with what we were seeing. Top guide!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Book this trip, you will be delighted! We felt so safe and welcomed. Bring hiking shoes/boots. I brought trainers and will bring light hiking boots next time. Bring a sleeping bag liner & pillowcase for the night in the desert. A water bottle on a cross body strap is really practical. We went a day early and Exodus arranged for us to be collected at the airport by the lovely Nasr. We really enjoyed our day in Amman, walking around the old town and the Jordan museum. Also have lunch at Shams El Balad, delicious food in a lovely conservatory restaurant.

Cycling Vietnam

Excellent guide/leader and team Nice hotels Good snacks and water supplies Price

Most Inspirational Moment

Great guide and team. Nice hotels

Thoughts on Group Leader

I have been on several cycling trips and Tien Truong was by far the best leader. He: contacted us before we got there: organised our hotels ahead of time so we didn't have to check in: organised the tips ahead of time: informed us about Vietnamese history and his English was excellent Tien's organisation skills were stellar

An incredible itinerary, multiple highlights!

I joined this itinerary as an observing Exodus Staff Member – on it’s first ever departure which was very exciting.

The leader was exceptional, many little surprises and getting to see local customs and experiences we would never had seen if it was not for the leader. The itinerary was well organised, with a great mixture of downtime and walking various locations. No drives over 3 hours and were always split up nicely with little experiences along the way.

Most Inspirational Moment

Waking up early to hike Temple Four at Tikal. The peace and wildlife sounds in the early morning light was beautiful, with the climb to the top of the temple being met with an awe inspiring view of the other temples poking out from the jungle treeline.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Exceptional, very organised, friendly and full of knowledge. Dealt with challenges promptly and effectively, ensuring we knew what was happening and using whatsapp group to the best of his ability to help us. He recommended restaurants, looked after those with dietary needs and those who were struggling in any way. He knew so many secret spots which meant that we saw much more than what was advertised just because of his local knowledge.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring long trousers and shirts for Tikal due to the Mosquitos, and make sure you take on plenty of water on the walks. Some areas are quite uneven so good walking boots is a must!

Hike Spain's Sierra de Aitana

The group dynamics and the leader made the holiday what it was, fabulous!

Most Inspirational Moment

No one highlight but if I had to choose maybe the walks on day 3 and 5 were my favourite as they were the most challenging and they had some fantastic views.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He really made the trip very enjoyable. He looked after us very well and even cooked cakes for us on a daily basis. He was very encouraging and had us laughing regularly.

Hike Spain's Sierra de Aitana

Fantastic destination, well-planned itinerary, expert guide, great home cooking.

Most Inspirational Moment

Great views, great company, perfect hiking weather, unspoilt landscape with few people around. Watching the sunrise from my bedroom window.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Highly organised and knowledgeable about the local area. Took level of fitness of group into account to adjust walks/ provide alternatives so that everyone enjoyed themselves. Had clear expectations from the outset and set the pace. Very hard working, accommodating, good fun and made wonderful cakes.

A Week in Jordan

Excellent guide, great itinerary with plenty to do and see; likeminded travellers who were great company and easy going.

Most Inspirational Moment

Having time to explore Petra at leisure. Snorkelling in Red Sea

Thoughts on Group Leader

Passionate and informed guide who cared deeply about the welfare of the group and made a huge effort to ensure everyone was included and catered for. Led by example e.g. Picking up litter and supporting traders who were selling is less accessible areas of Petra.

All around fabulous adventure!

From beginning to end this was a fabulous holiday! The ship and its crew were amazing. Spotlessly clean and always attentive 5 days aboard this ship was a great pleasure. The food was 5* all the way, delicious and plentiful, with frequent snacks and creative juices at every break. The tour was well paced with loads of activities, hiking and snorkeling and informative talks. The naturalist guide, Carlos, was one of the best. Enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable, he is passionate about the Galapagos and maintaining it pristine qualities. Wild life was abundant and snorkelling with fish, turtles and even penguins.. it was a trip of a life time. The chef was very attentive to my restrictive diet, being celiac. Did I mention the food??? First class all the way!

Most Inspirational Moment

Too many to choose… the snorkelling, the wildlife, the food, the information…

Thoughts on Group Leader

Fantastic. Carlos was enthusiastic , knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating. He worked well with the children aboard and with all the adults, skillfully keeping everyone happy in his positive upbeat way

Advice for Potential Travellers

I was concerned about motion sickness, but travelling in February and seas were very calm, and I surprised myself with out experiencing it once…

Such a wonderful trip

This trip offered an exceptional variety of experiences, from climbing Lion Rock and cycling through rural villages to visiting a local smallholding and enjoying white-water rafting—alongside memorable visits to beautiful temples. We met our group and guide on the first evening, and from that moment onward, the experience exceeded expectations.

There were so many highlights that it is difficult to single out just a few. However, sharing an outdoor lunch prepared by a local family and visiting the Udawalawe Elephant Orphanage were particularly special moments. That said, exploring a tea plantation, touring a spice garden, hiking Little Adam’s Peak, and every other activity on the itinerary were equally enjoyable.

Our guide, Prathap, was outstanding—humble, highly organised, genuine, and engaging. He was expertly supported by his assistant, Lucky, and our driver, Charles, whose combined efforts ensured the trip ran seamlessly and was thoroughly enjoyable throughout.

Exodus Travels has curated this itinerary exceptionally well, striking the perfect balance between vibrant city life (albeit wonderfully chaotic), peaceful rural experiences with opportunities for cycling and hiking, and relaxing time along the coast.

We are already looking forward to planning our next adventure.

Most Inspirational Moment

Probably cycling through the villages and stopping for lunch with a local family but there were a lot of great moments.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Prathap was AMAZING! He made the trip. I cannot over emphasise how good he was. Lucky and Charles were also excellent.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The trip is full on, so make the most of the rest days.

Kerala & the Tropical South

It was a great experience from start to finish.

Most Inspirational Moment

Periyar: Visit to spice plantation; Unexpected Roman Catholic procession with drums. Generally, the people of Kerala were the highlights. They were so smiley and peaceful. No raised voices. Our guide and the drivers also.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was very helpful and was always available. He would arrange to come to the restaurants at times just to help us out.
