This was an excellent trip. It was busy, but not too tiring even though it was very hot.
Probably the Greek temple and Roman amphitheatre in Syracuse.
Dani was first class. His knowledge of the geology and history of Sicily as excellent, and his warm and helpful personality contributed hugely to the success of the trip
Do not try the coastal walk if you suffer from vertigo.
The guide Zeljko was excellent, good knowledge, excellent personality and sense of humour. His recommendation for restaurant in Dubrovnik was one of the best fish meals I have tasted.
Hard to say, the swimming pool! (In joke)
Excellent (see Summary)
It was hot. August trip suited my calendar and not usual for me to travel to Europe at that time so only myself to blame. However, the sea or swimming pool did provide welcome relief at the end of the day.
This is a fairly strenuous trek through the amazing setting of the Alps, but with a little bit of fitness preparation it’s well within most peoples capability. Our group age ranged from early 50s to 70 and we all finished. Each days walking started at about 08.30 and finished between 16.00-17.00. There was plenty of oportunity to stop and admire the ever changing views and have rest breaks at the mountain refuges where food and drink was always available. At times ascents and descents were quite steep but these were to be expected, ( we were in the Alps after all). As a group we gelled together well which resulted in a couple of apres trek beers each day before dinner. The food and accomodation were first rate, don’t expect to lose any weight on this trek the foods to good and there’s plenty off it. Overall I can’t recommend this trip highly enough if walking is your thing.
The ever changing views opening up in front of me were just amazing, resulting in no sooner did I put my camera away than it had to come out again. Also whilst I was there the UTMB was taking place, and to see people running the 170km mountain route I was wakling just left me with a feeling awe (this years winner did it in 22hours, I took 10 days)
Our group leader Nick was an easy going guide, who set a pace to achieve the each days trek in a realistic time. He was knowledgeable about the area and regularly pointed out and named peaks, plants and local history. I'd be very happy to be led by Nick again on future treks.
Being super fit is not necessary but improving fitness prior to doing this trek would just make it easier and more enjoyable With regards to kit, good comfortable shoes/boots are essential, and your knees and ankles will thank you for using walking poles. Drink plenty of water, a hydration bladder in your backpack encourages this.
Amazing trip I couldn’t recommend it highly enough
Successfully completing quite a challenging walk across a narrow ridge near to 2000m altitude
Sara was fantastic, very organised & experienced with good local knowledge!
It is more of a hiking trip than simply walking!
This was the first group trip and first time using Exodus. Apprehensive about the busy itinerary and group dynamic. However all anxieties were quickly dispersed. Whilst the trip was busy it provided a great introduction to China.
Many really memorable moments but the trip to Yangzhou was really fantastic.
Our leader Hongbin Liu (Alan) was simply amazing and witout exception highly regarded by the whole group. His knowledge and passion for his country and desire to ensure that we came away with a true and balanced view of modern day China made the trip for us. He knew so much about everything. Was incredibly organised, kind, considerate and quickly became a friend. We cannot thank him enough for a wonderful holiday.
Need to be comfortable with the prospect of some long and uncomfortable train journeys. With some tight timings on itinerary.
Peru is a fantastic country to visit and the inca trail is a wonderful place to start. Unfortunately the guides we had were unable to support the group effectively.

We would like to thank Karen for her review, although we were both sorry and surprised that she was left underwhelmed with aspects of her holiday as Keith (review below) travelled on the same departure of this tour. Karen’s tour leader has been one of our most consistently popular Peruvian leaders, and we regularly receive very positive comments about his leadership. We realise, however, that people have different experiences when travelling and we have been in touch with Karen on an individual basis in regards to her concerns.

It was a good trip. We rode about 30 miles/day, sometimes with hills (northern Czech Republic), but later fairly flat. The riders were in good shape. There were opportunities to rest throughout the day, having beverage/snack/lunch breaks. The lodgings were fine and clean. The breakfasts provided at the lodgings were very good & varied to suit most traveler’s desires. There was good information provided as we traveled about the culture & history of the area. The other travelers were very friendly throughout the trip. It is a very good value for the dollar (or pound or Euro).
I feel that the information provided regarding the cultures & histories about the various areas was most interesting.
The leader was very informative & helpful. I can't think of anything that she could have done better. The assistant leader taught me some things about riding my bicycle which was very helpful. The van driver was very helpful as well.
Be ready to bicycle. Although nice, this is not a leisurely trip as after bicycling all day, the riders have about 90 minutes to shower & dress so that they can go out to dinner with the others. If you are looking for something more leisurely, check out Exodus' bicycle trip from Vienna to Budapest.
This was honestly one of my most incredible adventures yet, executed in a flawless and brilliant manner by Exodus. It fulfilled all of my expectations, from amazing diverse scenery (majestic mountains, valleys, forests and woodlands) to great food and company.
There were several inspirational moments, but the best would have to be tackling the 1.5 km ascent on the last trekking day without breaking too much of a sweat. It really showed me how far I had come in terms of both mental strength and fitness, over the two weeks! Also, being constantly surrounded by mountains is itself a very humbling and spiritual experience, one that has driven me to pursue mountain hiking/trekking!
We had the privilege of having both Frank and John as our tour guides. Both were excellent; I really appreciated John's helpful advice on walking techniques along with the extremely doable pace he employed during the most challenging trekking days.
I would recommend a few weeks of hill walking/general fitness training prior to undertaking this trek. Almost every day is a challenge in its own right and prior training will ensure a more enjoyable experience. In saying that, I think that body learns to adapt to the increased load and you definitely shouldn't feel stressed if you're not the fittest during the first few days!
Probably the best holiday I have had for a long time. Being an extremely nervous first time solo traveller I wasn’t too sure how it would go but it was just perfect.
It is so hard to name one inspirational moment, there were so many. Maybe the view at the top of Monte Tre Calli or the views on the Walk of the Gods.
Our group leader Severio was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable and full of encouragement. Nothing was too much trouble, from arranging transport for trips on the free day to making sure all dietary requirements of the group were catered for. He was always happy, full of fun and encouragement.
Do take walking poles, they really will help. The walks are tough but very doable with the right clothing, footwear and a bit of determination.
From a warm welcome at the airport to a sad goodbye at the end, this was the best holiday we have ever had!
Our tour leader ensured we experienced the real Sri Lanka in a responsible way with numerous activities and something to suit everyone. Our group of 8 adults and 8 children (aged 10-17) became great friends and the organisation of our leader meant we could relax and enjoy our holiday. Be warned – going back to work is difficult after such a great trip!!
Kandy festival Elephant safari Bike ride
Sujeewa was friendly, organised and knowledgeable - all you want in a leader, but so much more. He went out of his way to ensure every single member of the group had a fantastic holiday. He was particularly attentive to the needs of a family tour. Like he said 'if the children are happy, he parents are happy'. We couldn't have asked for a better leader.
Don't miss the optional elephant safari - it was the highlight of our trip in August. All rooms are air conditioned (can be noisy) with only sheets on the bed (can get cool). No need to pack an adaptor (hotels will have UK sockets or an adaptor), but a 4-way plug would be useful for charging all the gadgets. Teenagers - yes, there is wifi!
