I had a wonderful time on the Vietnam adventure. The group was great and our guide, Mao was helpful, charming, and very friendly.
Everything was great. The land, the people, the sites. Particularly loved being in Hoi An during the Lantern Festival.
Excellent. Mao was enthusiastic, friendly, charming, and very knowledgeable.
Hanoi and Ha Long Bay were cool. Saigon very hot. So pack accordingly.
I am not an unbiased reviewer as I have long been interested in Vietnam and its culture. I was not disappointed. Flying into Hanoi was a full on Asia experience. Loved Ho Chi Minh City with its mixture of cultures. Ha Long Bay beautiful. Mekhong less so but atmospheric and friendly,
Food good, hotels much better than I expected, people friendly and plumbing works. I want to return.
Crawling along 25m of the tunnel at Cu Chi complex brought it home to me how difficult this war must have been. No wonder the Vietnamese were able to defeat the mighty US military if they could live in these conditions.
Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

A wonderful challenging holiday spent among jagged snow capped peaks, led by a knowledgable, caring guide, with a great sense of fun.
The magnificent high altitude mountain panorama from the Alte Piano plateau, which includes the Drei Zinnen rock towers.
Sara is a very caring, well organised, knowledgable leader, always eager to help any member of the group. She has a great sense of fun and makes every day enjoyable for the whole group.
The slopes can be steep and challenging, particularly at high altitude in deep snow, so not rushing helps to avoid getting breathless and tired too early. A slow steady pace will take you to the summits in good time.
A great ‘over-view ‘ of this facinating and varied country.
Lots of travelling. Almost a continent in one country.
The tour was better than the Trip Notes implied – most of the ‘optional’ trips were actually included!
The pre-travel information (itinerary) was not up to the usual Exodus high standard as far as we were concerned – although some other people on the trip did receive more detailed information (even though we asked for it!)
Seeing the Moai (statues) on Easter Island made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck - and I have done a fair bit of travelling. Contrast the Moai with the sight of the Queen Mary II sailing just off shore was a bonus. On the mainland, seeing the smoking volcanoes in the Atacama Desert and the Valley of the Moon from Coyote Rock was amazing. In Patagonia stopping to watch two sets of real gauchos herding sheep and cows (separately) was just what you think of in South America (but don't actually expect to see!) And the golden sunrise through the cloud on the 'horns' in the Torres del Paine National Park from our room in the lovely Hotel Rio Serrano was certainly a highlight.
Helen Kinzl was an excellent leader. She gave us all the information we needed and had a real passion for Chile and its people. She was always there when needed and did her best to sort things out and make the trip run smoothly to give us the best experience possible.
The tap water is drinkable - but we used bottled water in the desert and on Easter Island (not sure if this was really necessary. There are some long travel days here because of the geography and infrastructure. Hopefully Exodus will choose better internal flights this season than with our trip where there were some unnecessarily early starts and a silly 8 hour stopover in Santiago en route from Calama to Puerto Montt. (Allbeit they did give us a free Wine Lands tour!) Take clothes you can add or subtract in layers. It can go from cold to hot in a few hours. Spend as much time as possible walking about seeing things and don't stay in the hotels too long!
This was a fabulous trip. Costa Rica is such a beautiful country & our route took in many of the main national parks. The bird watching was brilliant. Our leader was a specialist bird watching guide & was very knowlegeable about birds + very enthusiastic. The accommodation was excellent.
Seeing a pair of resplendent quetzal at dawn in the Savegre Valley.
He was excellent. Very knoledgeable & enthusiasic about birds & Costa Rica. Very well organised & friendly.
I really recommend this trip, with the specialist bird watching guide, to anyone interested in the wildlife of Costa Rica & especially birds. .
A fascinating introduction to this beautiful country
There were many!
Sam was cheerful, knowledgeable, and looked after the whole group very well. He also has a great voice!
Useful to take walking boots and poles
A well-planned trip taking advantage of the spectacular scenery. We were also lucky to have perfect weather and snow conditions.
Special mention must be made of Sarah Bull – possibly the best guide I have ever encountered. Her attention to detail is extraordinary, as is her commitment and her sense of fun.
Good throughout. Probably the second day was the best.
As stated above - wonderful!

This tour is well balanced between cycling and cultural visits one of course to a seventh wonder of the world site. The cycling days are quite short compared with other Exodus cycling holidays but this is offset by varying desert scenery and other activity. Plus if you are not a ‘keen’ cyclist the descents far outweigh the ascents.
The visit to Petra and trying to visualise what it was like so many years ago. Taken by surprise by the size of the site which is not 'developed' and there is a need to use different muscles in the legs (as opposed to cycling) to get around most of the site as there are many steps.
Wael H. was very well organised and led from the front. His English is very good and he is very conversant on cultural topics in Jordan. The tour from a transportation and logistics perspective was seamless.
Do not worry about any security issues as the party does have a friendly tourist policemen in attendance and the Jordanian people are hospitable.
This was a week of extensive snow scenes, amazingly empty, quiet open spaces, beautiful skies, both day and night and plenty of winter sport outdoor challenges ! The ethos around Basecamp is infectious: look after the local environment, utilise local resources and food sources, be proud of the Finnish culture and enjoy the snow!
As a group we learned many skills from fire lighting to ice climbing all in a very friendly and thoughtful manner and using really effective kit. The holiday was truly “made” by the lovely staff who run this centre.
Stepping outside the main cabin after dinner to watch the northern lights directly above our heads for the next 2 hours! Racing through the sunlit snow behind a team of wonderful huskies! Sleeping out in our very own Quincee, warm as toast in a -12 starlit night! Cooking our reindeer sausages over a campfire in the forest.
Our guide was Juuka. Very funny, gentle, thoughtful and caring. He had a vast amount of knowledge and skill in the outdoors and made every session special! We understand that he is relatively new in the job but he seemed very confident and had a natural ability to include everyone and bring humour to all situations!
The Basecamp kit that is loaned to you is very good and we did not need any of our own apart from under garments. We had very little need for many of our evening clothes and little need for cash as everything could be put on our bill. Go for the optional lunches......they were excellent and plenty of it!
A great introduction to cross country skiing in Scandinavia. The hotel ski guides were really helpful and sorted us out on the waxing which we had never done before. The hotel was good – free tea and coffee at all times made it feel very homely. Buffets were excellent with plenty of choice.
Probably 2 inspirational moments - we had good displays of the Northern Lights - which was a real bonus & also on a ski safari the guide persuaded us to "climb" on skis to a hill top 300 feet above the ski track. We had fantastic views and a great ski back down - which I had not thought I would be able to do.
There was not a Group Leader as the holiday was via Headwater but the ski guides from the hotel were very good - they were great leaders and also considered conditions on the day and the abilities of the group.
We really enjoyed having booked a week when there were ski safaris as well as the guiding. The ski safaris were longer days and had more off track.
