An exciting trip with real bears in beautiful location.
Seeing bears from the bear hide. The fact that the minute we sat down, a bear appeared.
Thomas was kind, knowledgeable and fun to be with.
Take earplugs because the dogs really do bark all night long.
Absolutely loved the entire experience.
The most inspirational moment was reaching the summit on day 2, of Dead Woman's Pass. I had read so much about it and to finally know I could do the climb was amazing. Also the beauty of the location of our campsite on the third night took my breath away. I didn't want to leave
Just book the trip. Then get your fitness levels up. But don't hesitate, you can and will do it. It's totally achievable. Don't worry about the altitude. Follow the recommendations and you'll be fine.
Vaida is an exceptional tour guide, I would go on any trip with her. The biking was great and the areas were beautiful. Really get a nice sense of the country. But we had beautiful weather, very lucky. The one thing I would change is the hotel in Kleipeda; it was so terrible it almost ruined the trip for me. Also, vegetarians need to make arrangements – bring protein bars, etc, because it is mostly meat and fish.
Most inspirational moment of the trip was along the roads around Lake Peipsi. Beautiful houses.
She was exceptional, I would follow her on any trip.
This was a most enjoyable trip- a very congenial group of fellow travellers,a fabulous guide & getting up close to some volcanoes in the stunning Aeolian islands
Sitting on the rim of Stromboli in the dark ,on warm volcanic ash watching fireworks every 15-20 minutes preceded by a deep roar emitting from the depths of the earth. The walk back down the side of the volcano in the dark was pretty special too!
Maria Merlini was an exceptionally good leader - always in good humour despite the fact that she was unwell.She was very knowledgeable about the flora of the region as well as the geology & history.Always aware of everyone's safety & providing options for those in the group who didn't want to do some of the major climbs. Being of a more mature age she was perfect for our group who were all post 40.
This is a great trip if you would like to get really close to volcanic activityY
Very enjoyable trip. The trip was at a pace that suited myself and partner.
Visiting Pompeii and Herculaneum
Eduardo was very knowledgable. It was fantastic to have a local guide
We went in May and needed warm clothing
I was prepared for the altitude and had no problems after the first twelve hours in Cusco, but my wife suffered severe altitude sickness and gastritis, though she was able to complete all the activities and enjoyed part of the holiday. The rating of ‘moderate’ for this holiday is a generalisation that hides more than it reveals: the second day of the Inca Trail is very challenging indeed.
Seeing the extraordinary colours of the mosses and orchids of the rainforest on the Macchu Picchu trail, and the amazing geography of Macchu Picchu itself. Also the Corpus Christi processions on the afternoon of our full day in Cusco, which we knew nothing about in advance.
Fabrizzio, our group leader, was absolutely excellent in the way he dealt with my wife's sickness, making sure she saw a specialist in Cusco after having an intravenous injection at a government health centre on the way. This enabled her to recover and enjoy the last couple of days of the holiday. Generally he was a very caring person and very good at his job.
Chewing coca leaves and drinking the tea does really help with altitude acclimatisation, but you need to be strong and fit from the start. My wife's gastritis was, according to the doctor we saw, caused by the medicine she was taking. Having no gall-bladder, she needed to take Lansoprozole in order to tolerate the obligatory anti-malarials and the ibuprofen she took for muscular problems.
Most enjoyable 12 days, we found it a very interesting trip.
Petra, swimming in the Dead Sea
Excellent
Excellent trip, well organised. We were all very well looked after (pampered even!) The food was excellent and the camping was very comfortable. Everything was done for us.
The summit of mount Toubkal was quite literally the "high point" of the holiday - but the most memorable moment will always be the wonderful hospitality extended to us by the group leader in his home village. Thank you Hasan - and happy Ramadan.
The group leader was excellent and attentive and very competent. There was no doubt that we were in safe hands. 10 out of 10.
The swimming pool in the hotel isn't really big enough to exercise in (in case you were thinking of packing trunks and goggles like I did) You do have the option of leaving a bag at the hotel in Marrakesh - something I made use of.
A truly excellent trip with something for everyone. The walking is strenuous on a couple of days and relaxed on others, but there is a wealth of experience to be gained with the variety of walks, culture, and especially the unique experience of being up close and personal with real live volcanoes!
Stromboli at night on two evenings, and Etna at the end of the trip. Etna was particularly exciting as we were among the first groups able to climb to the top after an eruption which curtailed climbing for 2/3 weeks. We were able to see amazing evidence of all the new lava action.
Maria was an excellent guide. She spent time getting to know everyone, and made sure that our experiences were memorable. She was keen to share her love of Sicily through her knowledge of the culture, geology and flora. She also ensured our safety at all times.
Gaiters were useful. Poles also useful. Buy the hotel pre-packed lunches when available - they are substantial! Be prepared for easy walking but don't underestimate the Stromboli climb. Enjoy sea swimming when possible but be prepared not to be able to swim because of jellyfish!
A brilliant holiday. All the better for being three different aspects of Peru i.e.: the Amazon rainforest, the Inka trail and Lake Titicaca. The trail was something we have wanted to do for a long time and despite the altitude we both made it. The scenery was awesome. Loved Cusco and could have done with more time here as there is so much to see and learn about. Thank you Exodus for once again giving us a fulfilling holiday.
Getting to the top of Dead Woman's pass. One tough climb without the altitude!
Very good particularly on the Inka trail where he was encouraging us all the way. Did not let us go too fast. When problems occurred he took them in his stride without any fuss or flap and kept the rest of the group informed. Taught us a lot about Peru in the past and present.
The Inka trail is tough mainly because of the altitude but also because of the terrain so you need to be fit to do this although altitude is a strange element and can bring down the fittest of people.. However we are 71 yrs and 68 yrs and both managed without any lasting effects!
