A fabulous welcome at the family run 2Torri Hotel. Staff clearly very happy in their work. Great balance of adventures and relaxing time. Beautiful location in local Italian village with easy access to site seeing .
Edwardo! Every day had it's highs. Loved Pompeii and Vesuvius all in one day. Really brought history alive.
Edwardo really does know every one locally. Looked after us beyond the call on duty. Like we were his family.
An excellent time we had; I hadn´t expected to see so many animals. What a great crew, thankyou.
Hard to say...that first impala or a lion sleeping in a tree, or giraffes drinking or thirteen lions out for a stoll!
Victor was the best, no question; smart, funny, organized and I would go again with him, no question.
Do bring warm clothes, a head torch, a padlock...do read the notes and listen to the leader.
We had an excellent Tour de Mont Blanc (TMB) in July 2015, enhanced by perfect sunny weather and no rain. Our guide was brilliant and had great knowledge of the walk and the geography, and really ensued we got the most from the experience. The scenery is breath-taking. There are some tough climbs but the guide ensured all of our group completed each walk whatever pace they were comfortable with.
The most inspirational moment of the tour was reaching the Grand Col Ferret and crossing into Italy. The views were amazing and the walk down from the Col into Val Ferret was incredibly scenic. Reaching Brevent at 2,500 metres on the final day after climbing 1,600 metres to complete the walk was truly memorable.
Our group was led by Rupert Hutchinson. He was a great guide, very knowledgeable and experienced in the TMB. He also frequently described the scenery and route we were taking, and some of the history of how the mountains were formed. He led the group of various walking experiences and always ensured everyone completed each walk at the speed they were comfortable with. In the evenings he hosted us really well at our hotels and restaurants.
Don't think twice, do this walk with Exodus and you'll enjoy a walk and an experience of a lifetime.
Excellent, good value trip. I had not visited South Tyrol before but the Dolomites had been on my bucket list for some time. I booked the regular trip not the more challenging departure but the walking was just right leaving at 9am and back to the hotel 5-6pm. I had looked at doing hut to hut treks but the real highlight was coming back to a base at Hotel Adler, using the pool and spa and loading up on local, delicious five course meals! Maybe less adventurous but an active holiday with maximum relaxation too.
The stunning scenery brought to life by our guide and the hospitality of our family run hotel.
Extremely knowledgable and passionate about the area. Well qualified to lead on the mountains and genuinely concerned that everyone enjoyed their trip. Honest advice.
Hire a bike from the hotel on the free day. Bolzano is too far away to be a good use of the time. Take wet weather gear and pack warm layers even in the height of summer if, like me, you feel the cold. Be prepared to test your fears (safely) if you don't like heights. Embrace the local food. If you want to use a little less English, scrub up on your German.....much more widely spoken than Italian in the area. If you have the time and budget, fit in a couple of days in Venice. Easy to get to from the airport transfer and a great contrast. Take home some prosecco!
I cannot describe in words how wonderful the experience was. Our group was of 15 people from different backgrounds and age range 15-69years. There are two ways of climbing Kilimanjaro – 1. The only aim is to get on the top and back and 2. Enjoy the walk up and scenery and also get to the top. Lemosho route is best for those looking for the second option. The scenery is stunning and terrain changes everyday. Its hard to decide which day is better than others as all days are amazing. Organisation by Exodus, their partnership with African walking company and attention to detail makes this trip a memory of lifetime. Bit more expensive but if you are going to do this once then better do it with he best.
Climbing the Barranco wall on the day 5. This was the highlight of the trip. Barranco camp situated right next to the wall is an amazing camp site. Once is surrounded by stream, clouds with views of Moshi once the clouds lift, at the foothills of Kilimanjaro and surrounded by the eccentric looking plants. The wall next day looks intimidating but is fun to climb and guides help you through out the climb. The views are amazing from the top. This day brought smiles on everyones face and made us mentally stronger to tackle the last climb two days later.
Charles Teete was a perfect group leader who personally use to chat with everyone every morning to make sure we were well. He had hand on everybody's pulse so to speak through out the journey. His leadership skills, especially on the summit night were fantastic and he kept a tab on all of us (we all walked up together from day 1 to last day). Very accommodating especially he made sure that we get a refill of water on the longest day (day 4) where we walked to Lava tower).
July-August is a good time as we had no rain. Windproof jacket must as some days it is too hot with fleece and too cold with T-shirt. Breathable jacket takes care of that well. Food is excellent and hence bring along only nutrition bars and chocolates. Walking poles are useful on descend and are a must. Knee support for those with painful knees especially for last two days of descent. Please get Nalgene bottle with insulation cover (Nalgene Bottle Carrier Insulated for 32 Oz bottles, Gray). I got his for $16 from amazon but was the only bottle which did not freeze).
I’ve traveled extensively, mostly NOT by way of a booked tour. However, this was undoubtedly a fabulous experience and would do it again. Meeting people from across the globe and bonding with them as if we were mates for years. All within a weeks time! Another positive about a booked tour, if you know your exact destination, and/or type of activities you prefer then the rest is done for you!
The trip details were pretty true to the write up, including our lovely hotel…great location, clean hotel, delicious breakfasts & friendly staff.
Just hiking and walking as if not a care or worry in the world and the only thought...wondering what magnificent sight was next....a divine lavender field or quaint village! Not to mention the delicious wines & cheeses...very inspirational!
Not only did John Bernard and I share the same day and hour of birth, he was delightful, had a great disposition and immensely enjoys what he does. Also very informative during the hike.
This was my first Exodus trip, however a few people in my group had been w Exodus time and time again....I can see why after one booking!
Tremendous trip. Well organised. Great guide. Fantastic memories.
The sun gate at Machu Picchu. It was so good to see this marvellous site of Machu Picchu after four days.
Holger was excellent. Quirky sense of humour but knew what he was doing! Felt safe at all times.
I would avoid the group flight. I heard that it wasn't comfortable.
Good views

Fantastic trip. Such a variation of landscape and scenery.
From wide open prairie, rainforest jungle and wild bushland to golden sand beaches, the Indian Ocean and souring mountains… we had it all. Oh, and too many wild life encounters along the way to actually list here in this short review.
Seeing the Drakensberg and the Indian Ocean at St Lucia.
Our group leaders were just fantastic. Really nice guys. This being a camping/lodge/cabin based kind of trip meant that we had two guides, David and Endi, but we also a third in Coli who was learning the ropes. The three guys were knowledgeable about pretty much everything and the amount of stuff that they did each day to make sure that the trip ran to plan and everyone was happy was just phenomenal. Two solid weeks of driving, guiding, setting up camp and cooking and they were still smiling at the end.
Pack for all seasons. We went in July, end of winter in SA. I almost didn't take up on the advice of packing a 3/4 season sleeping, but I was glad that I did. The nights got cold, but during the day it was warm enough for t shirt and shorts. We even laid around on the beach and splashed around in the Indian Ocean for a day before heading up into Drakensberg where we had a little sleet and snow. It all added to the fantastic contrast of the two weeks though.
A fantastic family holiday, with a full, well thought through itinerary that was great for both the kids and the parents. The hotel location is perfect and the extra breeze on the top of the mountains is ideal for keeping a bit cooler in the evenings. Good food, and a great group of families.
The surprise lunch location on one of the days (I won't spoil it for others!). The kids cooking evenings with the chefs were especially entertaining.
Eduardo was a brilliant leader who organised everything to perfection and had the children eating out of the palm of his hand and hanging on his every word. His enthusiasm and local knowledge meant we all could relax and enjoy the activities, which were all well planned and well paced. The ideal group leader, in fact!
The trip notes covered all we needed to know.
