Excellent holiday, great guide, lovely bunch of fellow cyclists. Lovely views, cycles were great and the route wasn’t as hilly or as hard as expected. Shame we lost a day to the rain but at least we got a cycle in the morning and the villa in the afternoon was lovely.
Too many to mention, first visit to Italy and hopefully will be back in the future. Loved the food, the views, the company.
Michele was excellent, looked after all of us, regardless of our ability. The organisation was great.
Bring layers, prepare for all type of weather. If a tea drinker bring your own.
Truly one of my most memorable walking holidays ever and rightly popular with some many people. The Italian scenery is spectacular and the walks up (to Mont Tre Calli), down (to Amalfi) and along (The Walk of the Gods to Positano) are great. Guide Suzy and our wonderful group made the whole trip very special. There are lots of surprises and really nice touches (I’m not going to give away her secrets) which keep the interest and fun going the whole week.
Seeing my wife really enjoy her first walking holiday with me and have a great time. Especially when she reached the top of Mont Tre Calli and those gorgeous views. Pompeii and Vesuvius, of course. And then, there's the limoncello.....
Suzy - enthusiastic, energetic, passionate, committed and a very good leader who looked out for everyone. We wrote a song for her at the end of the trip!
Take trekking poles. Your knees will thank you for it. Seriously, the walk of the Gods is not as exposed as it's written up (and is a 'do not miss') but there are lots and lots of steps, especially on day 1.
This was my first holiday with Exodus and I was very impressed by the standard of the holiday. Karystos is a very pleasant resort, with some good restaurants, but is not over-commercialised. The hotel is good, though hot water did go missing for a short time! I had a room with balcony facing the sea front. There were tea/coffee-making facilities in the room and after a hard day’s walking it was nice to sit on the balcony with a cup of coffee and watch the world go by. The walks were good with many fine views of both mountains and sea. The six members of the group got on well and we had enjoyable evenings sat outside restaurants drinking cheap local wine and chatting. I would certainly travel with Exodus again.
I think that the second walk of the holiday, when we went up to a 'saddle' between two peaks was the highlight of the walking programme. There was a great sense of peace and tranquillity up there.
Our guide was excellent, with very good local knowledge. The travel arrangements all worked well and she found us some excellent restaurants for our evening meals. Problems (such as the above-mentioned hot-water shortage) were quickly dealt with.
Make sure you have some long trousers, because the shrubby vegetation on the upland walks can be very prickly!
We researched options for visiting Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands on the same trip and found that the Exodus trip offered a great combination, allowing plenty of time in both locations and with good itineries. We appreciated the small size of the party (15) and the knowledgable and helpful local guides. The Vieja Cuba Hotel in Quito was quirky and lovely, with friendly staff, but I wouldn’t have chosen the hotels in Cusco or Agua Calientes – they were a little too ‘budget’. The crew of the Cachalote were fantastic, anticipating every need and providing a faultless service. The tiny cabin space was something of a challenge, with only a couple of small shelves for storage and the bunks are definitely not for the claustrophobic, but that’s the price you pay for the privilege of sailing in a small boat.
The day trek along the Inca Trail from Km 104 to Machu Picchu was challenging but absolutely wonderful. Arriving at the Sun Gate and looking down on Machu Picchu as the crowds were leaving at the end of the day was one of the highlights in an altogether fantastic holiday.
Wilmer in Peru, Gloria in Ecuador and David in the Galapagos Islands were all knowledgable, professional and helpful. Both Gloria and David went out of their way to look after an injured member of our party, and David in particular went to a lot of trouble to ensure she was able to enjoy as many of the excursions as possible.
This is a purely personal observation, but not being able to flush toilet paper on the boat, and having to put it into a bin with no lid was enough to stop up my metabolism for the week! The bin was only emptied once a day as well! The provision of bio-degradable nappy sacks for used toilet paper would have been more hygenic.
Great value trip. Wendy and Alejandro are fabulous hosts, George is a great guide. Great scenery, brilliant company 🙂
Really enjoyed the relaxation of the trip-nice to be so well looked after and the group were great and we gelled well. Seeing the Alhambra at night was very special
George is a wealth of knowledge and it was good to get an insight into life in the Alpujarras. Very relaxed and manageable pace fur our group
Book it!
A lot was packed into 4 fun-filled days taking in stunning scenery. Travelling on a comfortable bus, our brilliant guide Ibi made sure we got to take in Iceland and its history through our many stops.
There were so many fantastic moments in this trip, though walking through the divide at Thingvellir National Park and taking in the view was spectacular. The Blue Lagoon was the perfect way to end the trip with new found friends.
Ibi really helped to make this trip with an informative and friendly style. I felt complete safe under her guidance at all times.
Be prepared to take lots of photographs and bring one will a long exposure and a tripod if you hope to shoot the northern lights. Alongside that, thermals are recommended as the wind can be icy. Good waterproofs including over-trousers are essential, especially at the falls if the weather is bad. Also try and take a walk into Reykjavik at some point so you don't miss out.
The country is beautiful, the people friendly, the old cities interesting (Dubrovnik and Split), accommodation okay, food adequate.
Getting to the top of a hill that I didn't think I would manage! Getting to top of the belltower in Split. Walking the city walls in Dubrovnik.
Zeljko Zarak was excellent - unfailingly good natured, kind and an inspirational guide and leader.
Be prepared for heat! If older, make sure you are fit enough to cope with rough mountain paths - down often more difficult than up. Don't forget about mosquitoes.
An incredible week of superb food, hill top towns, challenging cycling, new friends of all abilities and a well structured itinerary!
Every turn, every climb, every descent was a "wow this is beautiful" moment! The scenery was incredible
Liz and Paul worked so well together! Liz was incredibly well organized and her restaurant recommendations were 100% outstanding! They structured the riding around everyone's capabilities and frequent stops and clear instructions meant a well run trip.
Late May was still COLD and wet so take appropriate clothing even if the weather forecast before you leave says warm and dry! It is extremely hilly, know what 1000m of ascent means before you go. I did and I knew what I was riding but others didn't. The distances are not long but the hills are :-) I ride a carbon road bike so I was nervous about the bikes but they were absolutely perfect.
This trip was exactly what I needed, a complete escape from the busy’ness of life to focus on the stunning Italian scenery.
Cycling through the Amalfi in the late afternoon, looking out over the water, the temperature just right, and the scenery breathtaking. Perfect way to end a hard day of cycling. I've never done a cycling trip like this before so wasn't sure that I was up for 5 days of cycling however I wouldn't have changed a thing. It was an incredible, very memorable trip.
Our group leader Paolo was personable, knowledgeable and was always concerned for our safety. I traveled with a group of girls and we all had a lot of fun with Paolo. We can't say enough good things about him and Raphaele (our cycle tech).
Come ready to cycle some hills :) Bring a soft pillow!
A fabulous trip. I can thoroughly reccommend it.
This trip is full of highlights, so difficult to choose one moment. Of course the walk of the Gods... Great walking with wonderful views. One thing: it would be good if it could finish with a lunch in Montepertuso and then a shuttle bus down. There really is no merit in taking all the steps down to Positano. The waterfall was lovely too. And Ravello.
The group leader, Martin Goddard, was very good. He was friendly, he explained everything clearly, gave good instructions and lead us everywhere safely.
This is a walking holiday and it involves a good deal of walking, some of it up hill! Bring stout walking boots.
