Lake Garde and Venice
The trip was particularly well organised and our guide Michael was brilliant, a consumate all rounder. Its challenging running the trip for a group of 16 on your own but Michael showed a very high degree of regard for everyone, and went above and beyond the job description. Making the group feel like a group and supporting everyone to get the most out of the experience. Michael is definitely one of the best Exodus guides we have encountered so far. Lovely guy, great temperament
Most Inspirational Moment
Michael laid on early morning rides for those who wanted them and these were amazing. The world is a different place at 6am and the rides were both challenging and exhilarating. I will never forget riding up a steep hill outside Trento, the numerous turns of the "Salita Charly Gaul" on the Monte Condone, 50 minutes climbing and 8 minutes descending... fabulous
Thoughts on Group Leader
Michael is one one of the kindest and most sincere individuals I have met. He loves cycling and loves his job. He deals with problems and looks after everyone. He certainly goes the extra mile arranging celebrations for birthdays and helping out when unexpected things occur, like problems booking hotels at the end of the holiday.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This is a great ride and you will enjoy the experience, the food and the company

this was such a good trip – different experiences the whole time and everything seem to fit together like clockwork

I think camping out in the Delta was the best for me - real camping under the stars with the animal sounds - hippos and lions!

Tour de Mont Blanc
What a great trip. This was my fourth with Exodus and the best. Our guide Jef was amazing. He looked after everyone so well, great briefings, daily wrap ups and biology lessons along the way! Our chief cook, luggage mover and tent man Andy was great too, the meals he turned out of his little camp kitchen were outstanding.
The scenery is breathtaking, the walking takes solid effort so make sure you read your trip notes before you leave and train accordingly!
Most Inspirational Moment
Loved the whole trip. Great views, lovely new friends and a real sense of achievement at the end.
Thoughts on Group Leader
In a word, outstanding. Conscientious, hardworking and very funny.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Read your trip notes! We had one very underdone person on our trip who got through only through the encouragement of the leader and other members of the group.

Tour Mont Blanc Hotel
This trip was everything as advertised and more. It was a challenging hike on some days, but the views were worth the effort.
Most Inspirational Moment
The final day while sitting in the chalet at the top of the mountain sipping hot chocolate and being serenaded by a young lad with a guitar.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Kim was a great leader and was very responsive to each individual's quirks.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Refer to the trip notes for what to pack. It is very accurate and while a fleece may seem not to be needed when the weather is sunny and warm it proved to worn when the weather turned to cold and snow - in July!

Jenny was a very knowledgeable and personable guide who conveyed her appreciation and passion for the region well.

Don't miss the opportunity to do the Aguille di Midi cable car gondola ride between France and Italy on the free day. It's amazing.

Cuba-the must go to destination
What an amazing country. Friendly people, happy to see tourists and very helpful. Great way to see the real Cuba by passing through small villages. I was impressed with how patient the drivers are, waiting for clear road before passing us even when it meant they had to stop. Wonderful cars, of course. Great tour guide, drivers and a fantastic group of fellow travelers.
Most Inspirational Moment
The camaraderie and support of my group, especially when someone was not feeling well or when the hills became too much in the heat. Thanks everyone.
Swimming behind the waterfall in Trinidad, taking Salsa lessons and the fun trying to dance it later, first swim in the Caribbean, seeing an old fire engine towing another old fire engine, and so much more.
Lots of children trying out their English as we cycled past them.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Lazaro was brilliant. His knowledge and passion for Cuba was obvious and he shared it with enthusiasm. He spoke brilliant English and was kind,funny,helpful and patient.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take padded bike shorts, the roads are not in good repair. Put in some hours on your bike to tune your bum into hours/days of cycling.

Walking the Amalfi Coast
A wonderfully organized tour in a spot with stunning scenery and fabulous food.
Most Inspirational Moment
I think it was walking around the crater of Vesuvius and going down into the crater. Our local guide was so passionate and interesting that made it that much better.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Tina was fantastic. Well organized, fun and upbeat. She was new to this area so didn't have an expanse of local in depth knowledge but if we did ask questions she always made sure to find out and come back to us with the answers. She went out of her way to help with the arrangements of our free day and also we took a different way back to Naples when the tour was over and she put us in touch with the right person to look after that.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If it's rainy you would definitely want some sturdy light hikers. They don't need to be over the ankle but having really good traction is key as there is lots of loose rock and bigger steps. I had poles with me on Vesuvius as did my friend and we were so glad for that as it was no problem for us while others struggled. I also had poles on the Mont Tre Calle hike and was glad but I didn't take them on the other days.

It's a MUST DO!
The Picos de Europa lived up to all expectations and then exceeded them on every day. You simply run out of superlatives on a daily basis.

I really found it very hard to find a single moment which would fulfil this description. There were just too many great moments.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Alvaro is a great guide. Attentive and knowledgeable of this area which he clearly loves dearly.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Fitness is an absolute must. These are steep hills do not enter them lightly. There are big climbs and big descents and if the heat is up they can be punishing.
Bring a good camera! Bring field glasses.

Mt Toubkal
So I booked onto this trekk at very short notice (5 days before departure) and was very pleased with the help giving to me by the company in making sure there was space available for me on the trip. From the moment I left Scotland to the moment I left Morocco to come back home I had nothing but an excellent experience with Exodus. The trip was well catered for with fantastic guides who at times gave us abit of knowledge about the areas we where trekking through. This was my first experience with Exodus and would highly reccommend them to family and friends.
Most Inspirational Moment
For me the most inspirational part of the trip was how well the group and staff got on and we all helped each other in different ways during the trekk.

What an adventure
This trip was awesome. Canoeing, walking and wild camping. Surrounded by all the wild life and beautiful scenery. You get so close to the animals so you will get some great photos and memory’s that will last a lifetime. As you are working as a team with the group and the two guides you will quickly become good friends with everyone.
Most Inspirational Moment
Getting so close to wild elephants. They are so powerful but pretty gentle. Also going to the school was great. These kids don't have much but are all so happy
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader (TK) was brilliant. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The canoeing isn't to hard but can be a bit of a challenge if it gets windy. The wild camping is great but be prepared, it is wild camping so its basic. You get a tent and food cooked on a camp fire. Also get up a little early and sit my the fire and watch the sunrise and listen to the wildlife, such a relaxing experience.
