A thoroughly enjoyable trip from beginning to end
I enjoyed all of it.
Excellent - well organised, caring and helpful at all times.
Different from other Exodus trips I have been on in that travelled on public transport, but be ready for plenty of walking.
A fantastic week of walking in golden hued countryside, sampling local wines and enjoying local food. The group was great, the guide (Mark) top notch, the hotel and staff lovely, the organisation seamless – who could ask for more.
Sitting with the whole group outside a restaurant in Siena overlooking the city as the sun went down - throwing the most beautiful golden colours onto the red brick and ochre paintwork of the buildings. Idyllic.
Mark organised us without making us feel at all "organised" and clearly knew the area well.
Take a extra fleece if travelling in October!
This trip is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the history, cuisine and the way of life in the capital cities of Ho Chi Minh, Phnom Penh and Bangkok. The itinerary also allows you to see how people live, work and socialise in rural areas which is what makes this trip so fascinating. During my 14 day visit I was able to learn more about the Vietnam war, the way of life in the Mekong Delta, the actions of the Khmer Rouge (the toughest part of the trip in my opinion) and the history of Angkor Wat & Angkor Thom.
The itinerary also allowed our group some relaxing downtime which involved sunbathing, snorkelling and fishing off Bamboo Island (near to the resort of Sihanoukville, Cambodia).
This trip does involve 2 fairly long trips by bus to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap although we were given a number of comfort breaks which included a stop at Skuon and a chance to hold a live tarantula and sample a fried spider!!
The most inspirational moments of my trip were: 1) The Homestay in the Mekong Delta and getting the opportunity to assist in preparing a meal (I live on microwave meals so this was a challenge) and being entertained by the local community....listening to a number of folk songs which told stories about their way of life. 2) The Killing Fields / S21 Prison was a very moving experience and I was extremely emotional when I saw the many graves and heard about the events that unfolded at the site. It is hard to take in but I believe it is important to learn about the atrocities that happened in the Killing Fields and the conditions that the prisoners were subjected to at the S21 prison facility. Before leaving the prison, you can speak to one of the survivors in the grounds and here their story. 3) Angkor Wat was amazing (despite the humid conditions) and provided some great photo opportunities.
All 3 group leaders on our tour were very good and provided a real insight into the heritage and culture of their respective countries. A big thank you to Tham (Vietnam), Borey (Cambodia) & Gigi (Thailand) for all their hard work and efforts in making this such a memorable trip.
Make sure that you apply mosquito repellent on a daily basis, particularly at Angkor Wat as they had a good go at my legs and ankles!! Also make sure that you barter / negotiate when buying goods in the shops and markets as one individual in our group learnt the hard way when buying a pair of sunglasses! I would also recommend that you drink plenty of water during the daytime and bring glucose tablets with you to prevent dehydration. When packing before your trip don't take too much clothing as you will be living out of a suitcase and constantly switching between hotels. Most of the hotels provide a laundry service but I would speak to your group leader as they may be able to get a cheaper deal and allow your clothing to be washed & ironed using an express service. Lastly....enjoy it and try the local delicacies such as the Elephant fish, crocodile curry and fried spiders.
This trip for us was truly amazing. Good food, good views, lovely people. We look forward to going on another trip with Exodus. Which ever trip you choose enjoy every moment.
The most inspirational moment has to be the elephants in Hwange N.P. But, this is a difficult question. The whole of our trip for us was inspirational without a doubt. Every day had its own little gem, we could have stayed another fortnight.
Our group leader Andrew Lindsay, was amazing. His cooking was faultless, knowledge exceptional. Great sense of humour, all in all you couldn't fault anything. A lovely guy with a great personality. Can we book him again.
Yes, if they are going the same time of year, plenty of light weight clothes. And a battery operated fan. And a good tent light when in the delta.
My family was a group of 12 that did the Amalfi Coast/Cilento bike tour. We enjoyed the 5 days of biking and saw many sites that we wouldn’t likely have found without the great tour guide Paolo. Our group of 12 was joined by 4 others and they were great group members who were a lot of fun.
The bikes were fantastic and definitely helped with the challenging climbs on this tour. It was also great having the support vehicle in the back of the group looking out for the bikers.
Completing the last day of the biking. 270 kilometers over the 5 biking days.
Paolo was a great tour guide and knew lots about the history of the land and was very knowledgeable about the local culture. He effectively dictated the pace such that both the stronger and weaker riders were accommodated for.
This tour has quite a few costs in addition to the tour itself. Although breakfast and most dinners are included, lunches are not and also there were quite a few unanticipated costs. Be very cautious of wet tarmac. It was VERY slippery and our group had an incident where two people slipped and fell in a wet downhill turn.
The trip organization was great, the balance of biking and van transfers was perfect. We found tours to be informative and eye opening. It was interesting to get the local perspective on the wars in Vietnam.
Safely navigating the traffic circle in Dlat during rush hour.
Danh was exceptional he made the whole trip worthwhile.
Bring a gel seat cover!
This was my first cycling holiday with a group , normally I cycle self guided which allows me time to stop and stare and take photographs. From day one I found myself way behind the other members, my pace was averaging 19 – 20 kph, which is above the advertised “Moderate: 13-16km/8-10miles an hour”, but this was not fast enough. I must emphasise that for me, it was not a problem as exodus provide some excellent maps and I am used to cycling alone so I never felt lost. However, I still had a great 6 days, saw some brilliant scenery passed though great villages and towns. The restaurants and cafes we stopped at provided excellent choice of food and drinks at a reasonable price. All hotels were comfortable and well located. Evening meals with this diverse group were in well chosen restaurants and I thoroughly enjoyed their company as well as the food and drinks
The most memorable was the ride (glide!) down to Lake Garda, excellent views of the Lake as I descended
I didn’t really have that much contact with the Leader Michele, but from my perspective he is one of life’s gentleman, and seemed generally concerned about the group members enjoyment. His family that we met in his home town of Viceza are delightful.
If you want more time to visit the cities and towns then I would suggest self guided with a day’s stop over in the places you would want to investigate
A well-paced walking tour with stunning scenery, staying in a friendly, family-run hotel
The sensational scenery on all of the walks, especially Walk of the Gods and Tre Calli
Albert was a lovely chap whose love of the land shone through
At times, the walking can be fairly demanding; there are lots - and I mean lots! - of steps and occasional rocky paths and scree. Be mindful that within any group there will be differing levels of fitness and experience. Walking boots are essential and a pole is worth considering . Be prepared for variations in temperature ... Bomerano is at > 2000 feet so it can get a little chilly later in the day
An interesting introduction to a region of Italy often overlooked. There was so much to see and do, plus staying in a trulli house in Alberobello was an amazing experience. The food was superb and the wine amazing.
So many, visit olive trees thousands of years old. The caverns, each cave better than the last. Staying in a trulli.
Giuseppe was very passionate about showing us his part of Italy, from introducing us to amazing food and wines made from local products, to showing us beautiful little towns.
Food is a little more expensive than the trip notes suggest. Double the recommendations as there is so much amazing food and wine to trip.
A great holiday that pushed us to achieve more than we expected
Completing a 75k trip to Sorrento - way beyond any distance attempted before. Completed due to the inspiring leadership of Paolo !
Our group leader Paolo Longo is an exceptional guy - able to lead a mixed age/ability group so everyone felt challenged and ready to literally go the extra mile. Really genuine enthusiasm for showing us something different everywhere we went. Equally we were supported by Raphaelo throughout with instant technical help and always there to ensure we made safe passage along busy routes. A team that were fun and professional throughout.
Do prepare to get up to at least 30k days so you can enjoy every minute of this spectacular hilly route.
