Amazing Patagonia

Patagonia has been on my travel “to do” list for quite some time now. I was particularly looking forward to the amazing scenery on offer – Fitzroy, Torres del Paine, Moreno Glacier, plus sampling some of the legendary steaks and wines that Argentina is famous for.

Most Inspirational Moment

I have more than one moment - the Fitzroy hike was amazing as was the Torres Del Paine hike - this is pretty strenuous, particularly the last part. All that hard work is well worth it for the views to be had. Plus, we had amazing weather on our trip, so we had clear views on both hikes.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Luciano was brilliant. His passion for this part if his country came across to us so well. He was knowledgeable in all aspects and was an excellent tour guide. His restaurant recommendations were excellent too - I have never had so much amazing food (and wine) in one trip

Advice for Potential Travellers

There are some long drives on this trips - the main one being the journey from Torres del Paine to Ushuaia. But, they are broken up with interesting stops along the way, so it never seemed that long overall. Put a couple of extra holes in your belt so you can loosen it as the trip goes on! - if you like your steak, wine and desserts, you will be very well catered for this country !

Northern Lights Iceland

This was a fantastic holiday with amazing sights (Northern Lights included!!!). Each day was filled with wonderful sights.

Most Inspirational Moment

Stepping onto the Black beach and seeing the fabulous icebergs. Bathing in the Blue Lagoon. Seeing Northern Lights.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Petur was an excellent, hardworking guide and made every effort to ensure we had a wonderful time.Nothing was too much trouble and his excellent driving skills during a bad storm ensured we did not forgo any of our itinery. He made the holiday fun and was very informative. Thank you Petur.

Patagonian Highlights

We decided on Patagonia as Sandy had been there 11 years ago and had trekked around most of the Torres Del Paine. Things had changed – the roads were all (mostly) completed and the villages and towns had expanded. The highlights had not changed and we were fortunate to have good weather throughout all the walks. The road journeys were long and dusty but an essential part of conveying the scale and size of the Patagonian Steppe. The reward of arriving at the Torres del Paine and Ushuaia erased the discomfort of the journey! Overall we were hugely impressed by the organisation and the leadership.

Most Inspirational Moment

Getting to the base of the Torres del Paine after a long, hard 4 hour + trek and the first view of the Perito Merino Glacier - the pictures do not convey its magnificence!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Luciano, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He was always very concerned about our welfare and very keen to involve us in everything 'Patagonian'. Everything he did was with a smile and nothing was too much for him. We hope to see him in England sometime.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for the long drives with plenty of water and snacks. There are interesting stops on the way and the arrival at the end of the journey is well worthwhile!

Best trip in a long time!

I think this trip exceeded expectations for me.

It was a very active week with a great selection of winter sports and the opportunity to try something different. I’ve now recommended it to a handful of people.

Most Inspirational Moment

For me, it was the dog sledding! The dogs were beautiful, friendly and very controlled and the mode of transport gave great views across the NP. A very close follow up for me, was the reindeer farm!

Thoughts on Group Leader

The group leader was fab! In fact, all the staff were. Activities were explained thoroughly and all staff were patient and had a sense of humour.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take lots of layers! It was relatively mild the week we went (31st Jan) but I still felt a little chilly so, pack as your case will allow.

Cambodia Adventure

A great itinerary encompassing the busy yet cultured capital, the relaxed feel of coastal Kampot and Kep, colonial Battambang and the sheer size of majestic Angkor Wat. Fantastic food too throughout, surpassed only by the ever-smiling, friendly locals.

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting Angor Wat - far more extensive and varied than I'd been expecting, made all the more memorable by seeing it over two days, one by bike which was a superb way to get a true feel for the place and its atmosphere.

Thoughts on Group Leader

A fine ambassador for his country, Sokkim transmitted a graceful serenity which made us all feel at ease with him, sure in the knowledge of his ability to calmly overcome any challenges and provide us with whatever information or help we needed in a measured and warm manner. True to his principles, he was ever keen to ensure we got the most from our time in Cambodia, as well as striving for the best for his compatriots and homeland.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Cambodia may not be the first country to spring to mind for a visit in the region, but the variety of experiences there and warm welcome certainly make it a recommendation. Angkor Wat alone justifies going, but there is so much more to warrant spending more time there.

The Tropical South

I had a most splendid holiday. The group were lovely and we all seemed to get on very well. I feel I has a wonderful introduction to to Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

Most Inspirational Moment

I enjoyed all aspects of the tour but the most inspirational was the time spent in Madurai. We had a agreat visit to the temple and the palace. It was noisy and crowded and so exciting. I had a wonderful cycle rickshaw ride through the market streets, visited local restaurant and meet some street traders and other people who gave me insight into life in Madurai. It was so vibrant, so alive, so exciting and it had a very memorable impact on me.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Charles, was wonderful. He has a deep understanding of the society and culture of the area. I was deeply impressed by his organisation of our time, his support and kindness to all members of the group, for example soothing worries about food and ensuring that everyone was able to access the sort of diet they wanted. He was so lively and engaged with us with great good humour and excitement about his homeland. He loves his part of India and was able to give us a great introduction to the different religions, caste groups and general diversity. He is also kind to his own people showing us how to manage tipping and show respect in their terms.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would say go soon and try to make sure you have Charles as group leader. He makes it all so exciting and interesting.

Finnish Wilderness Week

This will be THE most amazing and fun week you will ever have! The setting is just beautiful – your snug and warm cabin looking out over the snow covered forest, a short walk away from the frozen lake. The BaseCamp staff will look after you, keeping you warm and extraordinarily well fed throughout the week, and exhausted (in a good way) from all the various fun activities.

Most Inspirational Moment

The husky sledding was the definite highlight! -39C but sooooooooooo much fun dashing through the national park. Unforgettable

Thoughts on Group Leader

Martii and Juka were just fabulous - they really understood the wilderness, the potential risks and how to avert any accidents. They taught us some great skills and kept us safe, warm, well fed throughout the week with a smile on their faces at all times. Thanks for a great week BaseCamp team

One of our best holidays ever!

A fantastic mix of scenery, culture, history and wildlife all observed from the saddle against a backdrop of highland tea plantations and forest or lowland Paddy fields. All fuelled by delicious local food including curry and fresh pineapple, papaya and bananas – aided by bucket loads of tea and tasty snacks on the roadside! So much packed into a small country and a short holiday.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the top of the highest hill (1900m) and getting a big cheer!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Suresh was passionate about his country and sharing it's highlights. He did this with great knowledge and humour but most importantly he took time out to make everyone feel they were personally welcome and that they were happy with their daily experience

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go as soon as possible!

Sri Lanka

A fantastic trip to Sri Lanka. A busy 2 weeks, but we saw and learned so much about the culture, food, history, etc of this beautiful country. The people were so friendly and the food was amazing.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the summit of Adam's Peak in time for sunrise. It was a really tough climb. Seeing wild elephants in the game park.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sujan was fantastic. We could not have had a better leader. He was knowledgeable, organised, honest and fun. He wanted us to love his country and went far beyond what was expected to guarantee we had a memorable trip.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It was very hot and humid in January, but can still rain. Take a light rain coat. Binoculars are useful on safari. Most hotels had pools. I wish I'd taken flip flops! There is time to shop in Kandy and in Galle, but not much more.

Trails of Vietnam

Great trip to discover Vietnam but NOT an active holiday! All the activities are done at a very leisurely pace with stops all the time. You’ll be busy discovering Vietnam during the days but you’ll always have lots of free time in the evenings, which i found very disappointing. I hope Exodus will review the level of this holiday package.

I picked this trip because it was listed as an active holiday with different kind of activities “On foot, in the saddle, with paddle – active the length of Vietnam”. However, this is not true: there is only one day trekking with 17km done. The rest is just about 1h – 1h30 walks there and then visiting places. As for the kayaking, there is only a 2h kayaking included in the Halong Bay. There is the option to pay for additional kayaking in Hoi An which is much better than the one on the Halong Bay. It should be included in the trip.
As for the cycling, there are four days that involves cycling: two very small bike rides (less than 20km…) in Hue and two great rides along the Mekong Delta (about 40km). But 40km is not much to do especially if this is the only thing planned to do for the day.

Most Inspirational Moment

They were many highlights to this trip, such as kayaking in Hoi An (optional activity), getting a suit made in less than 24h in Hoi An, cycling between the rice fields, meeting lovely and friendly Vietnamese people, feeling like Poh in Kung Fu Panda when climbing up Marble Mountain...

Thoughts on Group Leader

Kien was passionate about his work. He tried very much to teach us about his culture but sadly the group was not interested at all by learning about the Vietnamese culture and history. The activities were planned smoothly but he tried too much to adjust things to this group lacking motivation by proposing later starts for activities thinking people would prefer sleeping in the mornings.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do not take this trip if you really expect an active holiday. This package is great for sightseeing and discovering Vietnamese food and culture but it is not as active as mentioned in the description. Most days there is nothing to do after 4pm. And lot's of time is spent traveling by bus. But it is a great holiday if you just want to relax. ***** I traveled end of march/beginning of April and I'd recommend taking a warm polar sweater for the north part of Vietnam, a light jacket against the wind and long walking trousers. It was actually quite cold. But then you'll need shorts and t-shirts for the central/south parts of Vietnam. ***** You absolutely need to bring a third bag with you: your suitcase, a backpack (for the days) and a light bag to put in clothes for 1-2 days trips. Your suitcase will stay at the hotel while you go to the homestays and it is essential to have a smaller bag to carry your stuff in. ****** For the money, don't bother with US dollars => it is extremely annoying to have people asking to find a bank to exchange their US dollars because they didn't withdraw dongs. The money in Vietnam is dongs and even though they can take US dollars in some places, it is much easier to use dongs. You'll find ATMs everywhere (usually in front of the hotel you'll find one). ****** Don't worry about finding mineral water bottles, you'll always get a free one at the hotel every night, and you can really buy some everywhere, even in the middle of the jungle. ******

We would like to thank CG for posting a review, although we are very sorry that CG was disappointed with the amount of activities included in the itinerary; whilst this trip is designed to be a cultural holiday with the addition of active elements, we will certainly bear CG’s comments in mind should we hear similar feedback from our clients.
