This was our first cycling holiday – so we weren’t quite sure what to expect – we did not need to worry it was an excellent holiday and we were looked after from the moment we arrived in Sardinia until we left the island a week later. Everything was organized and arranged and all we needed to worry about was choices for lunch, our evening meal and what flavor of gelato we should try next.!!
Day three was the day we were introduced to 'the wall' - everyone in the group was concerned and a little apprehensive, lots of hard work, and sheer determination meant that the vast majority of the group were able to achieve the climb - the inspiration came from those who had to work that little bit harder and the way that the whole group gelled and willed, cheered and cajoled everyone to make it to the top - a great days work and followed by a fantastic down hill section..!!
We had two group leaders and they were fantastic - nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to ensure we were well and truly looked after - Michele and Michele true gentlemen and a credit to the Exodus team
Just do it - don't worry about having the ability and or the level of your experience as a cyclist. Our group had a complete mix of riding abilities, some hardened and experienced riders and some with little or no experience it did not matter as there were plenty of opportunities for individuals to go that little bit faster or sprint and race before we all met collectively again before moving off - it worked a treat
A very beautifull trip to the High Atlas. The 3 walks are all very different and all very beautifull. The food (at evening and cooked lunches allong the way) are very good. Hassan is a very responsible guide with a lot of knowledge and a very nice person.
Gazing at the stars from the balcony of the Gite. Never seen so much stars and never had such a good view of the milkyway before.
Hassan is really good in keeping everybody safe and on time. He has a lot of knowledge of the surroundings, and of may other places outside Marokko. His advice on how to deal with taxi drivers in Marrakesh really helped and kept us from paying to much. When one of us got stomach problems he was really concerned about her wellbeing and he made sure she took all the precautions to not become sicker. His guidance of our little group made this holiday very pleasant and relaxing.
Make sure you read the trip notes and come prepared. The gite was equiped with head cushions, so no need to bring your own.
This was a trip covering a wide range of experiences. Starting in Dubrovnik, the transfer to the very attractive Kotor was in itself a taster to some of the superb scenery we were to encounter later in the tour. Kotor and the old town of Bdva enabled us to sample the Montenegro coast followed by some spectacular drives into the interior. The Durmitor National park provided opportunities for walks for many of us and then further spectacular drives took us into Bosnia & Herzegovina visiting the very interesting cities of Sarajevo and Mostar. Having 3 nights in Sarajevo and 2 nights in Mostar gave us the chance to get to know these cities reasonably well. All of the drives were broken up with interesting places to visit including some wine tasting at the Tvrdos monastery on the return to Dubrovnik.
Many highlights especially the stunning scenery. The visit to the isolated village of Lukomir and the hike to the Ratinica canyon in the area.
Evelin Balta was excellent. He took great care of the group and was always keen to discuss some of the turbulent history of his country(Bosnia) and particularly showed a great passion for the great outdoors. He was always very helpful in deciphering menus and took us to some interesting restaurants.
Stay a few extra days in Dubrovnik. Although we had been there before, we found it was an excellent wind down after the tour, especially by visiting Cavtat and Lokrum Island(by boat) to avoid the cruise boat crowds during the height of the day. We stayed at the Hotel Aquarius, a very pleasant small, family run establishment.
Exodus describe this trip as leisurely/moderate – it’s not. Be prepared for lots of 6am starts, several very long days on the coach and very little free time unless you opt out of organised activities. The Inca Trail is tough going, particularly on days 1 and 2 when the combination of heat and altitude make it quite a slog. Conditions in the jungle are far more basic than described in trip notes.
Getting to the top of Dead Womans Pass on day 2 of the Inca Trail and knowing that it was mainly downhill from there to Machu Picchu.
Rene and the other local guides were very well organised and knowledgable. My only criticism would be that they tried to cram too much in and we often felt that we were racing round museums and sites without time to take in our surroundings. By the end of our trip I definitely felt Inca'd out!
Read the trip notes before you go. Appreciate just how much of this trip will be spent sitting on the bus. Accept that the standard of hotel used by Exodus (and the hotel rooms allocated to Exodus guests) are perhaps poorer than could/should be. Use sols rather than US dollars (except for Nazca flight). Don't do souvenir shopping until Aguas Calientes or Cuzco markets. Accommodation in Amazon is very basic and rainforest walk in wellington boots is a lot of effort if you hardly see any wildlife. Book an extra day in Lima at the end of your trip so that you don't face a long journey home smelling of the jungle - we were up at 6am in jungle for 2 hour boat trip, 1 hour bumpy bus journey, flight to Cuzco from Puerto Maldonado, flight from Cuzco to Lima, 6 hours in Lima airport, 11 hour flight to Paris, 5 hours in airport then 1 hour flight back to UK when there had been almost no water in our jungle lodge shower
Great Holiday – saw some fantastic chunks of America – looked after by two fantastic guides.
So many highlights - but probably the sunset evening in Arches National Park.
Both were excellent - very knowledgeable & extremely well organised. Gave clear direction to the group.
Don't take too much gear with you - plenty of opportunities to wash/dry tee shirts & underwear. None of the hikes (including in/out of Havasupai) were too testing.
This was the first holiday with Exodus and in fact the first holiday I have done of this type. Walking the Amalfi Coast was definitely the right choice to make, I can full appreciate why it is the most popular trip Exodus run. Based in a quite village surrounded by stunning scenery in an amazing county, as a group we could not have been made more welcome by everyone we encountered. Yes the walks were challenging but all were done at a leisurely pace and doable. There are three key factors that made this a wonderful week. The background work that Exodus have done. An excellent Group Leader. And most importantly the group dynamics, arrived as 16 strangers to leave as 16 friends in a week later.
Every day was occupied with something I was determined to do and see, so despite an injury finishing the final walk and having a cold beer by the beach after completing every walk. This was only tainted by the fact it was the final walk.
We had Paul as our group leader, who was extremely patient and understanding to everyone's needs. He had an excellent knowledge of the local area and good relationship with not only the hotel staff but members of the local community. Not an easy task but he looked after all of us for the week, I don't think we could have had a better guide.
Good walking shoes, that have been broken in and fit well. Make sure you have done some walking beforehand, hills and steps are a must. Reading the trip notes and actually understanding that there are a lot of steps both up and down. Its all worth it though.
This trip offers something for everyone – hill walking, a few tougher climbs, a cultural day (optional ) in the beautiful town of Lucca, and every evening the lovely farmhouse and home cooking to return to. Leaders play such a big part in the success of these trips, and Sara is one of the best – social, professional, organised, inspirational, knowledgable ……
When Sara got the whole group safely up to the natural arch at the summit - quite a climb, and the best views of the week!
Sara Bull is a great leader. Her knowledge of the history and geography of the area really help get the most out of the trip, and she is sensitive to the abilities and aspirations of each individual in the group, so that everyone has a rewarding experience.
Choose carefully between the standard itinerary and the more challenging weeks - the latter include some longer days, steeper terrain and an occasional scramble, but well worth the effort.
This was our second Exodus guided trip and what an amazing trip it was. Sardinia is a gem of a place with breathtaking scenery and history. From start to finish it was an adventure.The Sinis wetlands with the Mistral , Tharros, the Green Coast coastline, the very trip and Islands of Sant Antioco exactly as described. The guides Michele Q and Michele Z were incredible and worked so hard. Their support in the van and on the road so attentive , not to forget their fruit salad and chocolate on the stops.
It had to be the 7km hill up to the Agriturosmo farm. A very tough section but rewarding in many ways.The Rocce Bianche Farmhouse at the top was just wonderful.Their 0km banquet where all the food was grown on site was wonderful. The next day the 7km descent just as breathtaking.
The leaders Michele Q and Michele Z were incredible.They worked tirelessly and so attentive to every detail. The evening briefings, attention to safety on the road a priority, and they have excellent local knowledge and history. Every day they arranged lunches, phoning ahead, giving us options. One day Michele Q took the ladies bikes up the top of the hotel hill to start the day and took luggage up to rooms.Michele Z was so attentive, and what a knowledge on local history.
Suggest be in very good fitness for the trip.There were 2 very challenging days on Day 3 and 4 with steep long climbs that I wished I had trained a bit before. However there was always the offered option of sitting out any section in the van.
A thoroughly enjoyable holiday in a very interesting country.
The guide was fantastic – knowledgable, passionate and delivered the information in an inspiring way.
Accommodation was of varied types and in the majority of cases exceeded our expectations.
Food was simple but plentiful – occasionally outstanding (especially my surprise birthday cake).
the whole experience was a real eye opener to the Cuban people, their history and way /pace of life.
EXCELLENT!
Drink plenty of water and you do not need to take any jumpers!
