A well-balanced hiking tour with other activities

This was a fantastic hiking trip and a great way to experience Italy. The hikes offered incredible views and a nice variety of scenery, while the cooking experiences and opportunities to discover authentic local restaurants added a wonderful cultural element to the trip. I especially enjoyed the flexibility of the free day. With the hotel close to a train station, it was easy to explore Cinque Terre, go hiking, visit another nearby town, or simply create your own adventure. Overall, I loved the balance of hiking, culture, food, and free time.

Most Inspirational Moment

One of the most inspiring parts of the trip was experiencing the incredible views along the hikes. Each hike offered something different, and it was rewarding to see the beautiful landscapes after putting in the effort to get there. I also really enjoyed the small, genuine cooking experiences. They felt intimate and authentic and gave us a special opportunity to connect with the local culture and people.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader, Roberta, was great! She was very knowledgeable, helpful, and always willing to make sure we got the most out of our holiday. She took us to some amazing restaurants that she had personally discovered and selected for the trip, which made the experiences feel especially authentic. On the free day, some guests wanted to explore smaller towns, and Roberta helped them with ideas about what to see and how to get there. She really helped make the trip enjoyable and stress-free.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This is a great hiking trip, so come prepared to hike and enjoy the beautiful scenery! If you have the time, consider adding a few extra days before or after the trip, either at the hotel or in Pisa, to extend your Italian adventure.

Immersive wildlife experience

If you want to go to Borneo primarily to see the wildlife, this trip is unique in its priority focus on just that. The itinerary’s scope across a variety of national parks and wildlife reserves, as well as a diversity of landscapes, gives you so much opportunity and time to explore Borneo’s incredible nature. It was a truly memorable experience to see orangutans in the wild, gibbons swinging through the trees and families of Pygmy Elephants by the river. Not to mention the many other primates, nocturnal mammals, birds and insects we saw. As an Exodus team member, it was a privilege to be able to join our fantastic Tour Leaders and guests, and to experience Borneo in the way we did.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the bats exit Deer Cave in Mulu National Park in their thousands!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our Leaders on this trip were not only experts in wildlife and conservation, they also gave us insights into local history, heritage and tradition, took us to the best places to eat, refilled our water bottles and kept us all organised and on time, making it all look easy!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take a decent pair of binoculars!

Debut first run of this tour

This was the first time this trip has run and we had a great time. Tajikistan is much newer to tourism than other countries in the area and there were a few issues with trying to fit everything on the itinerary into the day, with some very long journeys,but this is being looked into. The Uzbek half ran very smoothly as tourism here is well established
The trip provides a good contrast between beautiful mountainous Tajikistan and the wonderful architectural monuments of Uzbekistan and there is a good variety of content plus plenty of great food and wonderful warm hospitable people
A great opportunity to see Tajikistan if the more common trekking trips or long 5 Stans trips are not for you

Most Inspirational Moment

Stunning and tranquil Iskanderkul Lake and breathtaking Registan Square by night

Thoughts on Group Leader

We had different leaders in each country. Both were great in different ways and both tried hard to offer a positive experience

Advice for Potential Travellers

Get your Tajik visa through Exodus to avoid additional stress but be aware that either way that the Tajiks leave processing til very late. Book pre tour accommodation for at least 1 night as the flights arrive in the early morning and the long days dont allow for much recovery time As the trip starts over the weekend many banks are shut for money changing but cards were fairly widely accepted in the capital. Even the open banks looked shut so try the door!

Amazing tour guide and scenery

This trip is great for anyone looking for great food, coastal beaches and small towns with amazing architecture

Last day of the trip in Valencia

Advice for Potential Travellers

Great trip as its not too strenuous, very flat all the way apart from 2 days but where each have about 15 minutes of hill climbing which is steep. If you want to enjoy it even more, take that e bike upgrade.

Wonderful tour

I did this tour in June 2026 and enjoyed it so much, inspire of having no experience cycling on the open road. The tour guide Matteo was wonderful, and I felt very safe and well looked after. The accommodation was very good, the first accomodation at Feudo Bauly was superb, I only regretted not staying there for couple of nights before the tour started. Beautiful pool. A very friendly group on the tour as well, mixed ages and all socialised together really well, with Mateo joining us for group dinners at terrific restaurants he knew. I will definitely book another cycling tour with Exodus again.

Most Inspirational Moment

All the towns we visited were beautiful and had great restaurants and were not crowded even though peak season. Noto and Modica in particular.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Matteo was an excellent, he escorted his group of ducklings along some quite busy roads and down some steep descents ensuring all the time we were keeping up and safe. Sebastian, the van driver also did a fabulous job, providing icy water at every stop and helping with intersection crossings. Both men were very attentive and the whole group was very appreciative.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I was glad I had bought hi vis cycling gloves and good bike shorts. It was hot being June, but I like the heat coming from Australia and I was riding an e bike, whilst half of the group rode regular bikes. The rest of my group were all far more experienced than me, but I kept up well. I bought very light bright trekking T shirts and had little luggage. Don't forget your swimmers!! :)

Lovely area to cycle but bikes not suitable for the terrain

Istria is lovely and the cycle routes were great, lots of quiet roads and some lovely tracks (along the disused Parenzana railway line). However, the bikes were ‘sit up and beg’ city-style bikes and totally unsuitable for sandy, rocky tracks, particularly in the wet. If you are using a pedal bike, I strongly recommend that you ask Exodus to source you a mountain bike which would make this holiday much safer and more enjoyable. Note that the guide rides an ebike!

Most Inspirational Moment

Tasting real truffles in the area where they grow was fantastic, the wine tasting was a highlight and the descent to the castle ruins at Dvigrad was wonderful (beware, you have to cycle up a little way at the end of the descent so be prepared!)

Thoughts on Group Leader

Boban was very nice and personable. However, he lacks some of the skills that many of the Exodus cycling leaders use to make these holidays extra special. Whilst he provided a few little gems, it would have been great to learnt more about the history & culture of this wonderful area & country. Also, we went to fantastic places but weren’t always given the advice and time to make the most of them.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Ask for mountain bikes when you book the trip. Ask every day where you are going and look them up so you know which places you would like to explore, and ask for the time to do so

Very enjoyable tour - great history, cycling and cities

Perfect cycling roads and paths through forests and near the lovely coast – and once actually on the beach. Brilliant guides, extremely interesting history and varied food. So flat that it’s also suitable for non cyclists. A unique opportunity to experience three countries and cultures. Lucky to have such an interesting group too and I really appreciated spending time with non Brits! And I was really impressed with all 3 countries which achieved independence from the USSR only 35 years ago – and their transformation is inspirational.

Most Inspirational Moment

The whole trip was so enjoyable and interesting, so it is difficult to pick out a special moment. Maybe the trip to the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lina was our leader for the first few days, from the start in Tallinn and then Andrius took over for the rest of the tour as we left Estonia. They were both absolutely excellent, with really detailed knowledge of the route, the cycling paths, the very interesting history, the food and the cities. They were both inspirational in different ways - with Andrius having an amazing sense of humour as well, which really appealed to me.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This is a tour not to be missed, even for non cyclists - and e-bikes are available. A great way to experience three adjacent countries in an often forgotten part of Europe. I have come home better informed about their very difficult history and with a much greater appreciation of the area, including its beauty and friendly people.

Fantastic remote trekking in Ladakh

Wonderful trek with a super group and brilliant team to help on the way. The leader, guides and assistants really made the trip and it obviously wouldn’t be possible without all of their hard work. The days walking aren’t too long but the altitude does make it a challenge. Scenery is not bad either!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sukman was extremely experienced and professional, so we knew we were in good hands from day one. His humour, knowledge and encouragement brought us together and got us over the pass and to the end of the trek safely, and especially when we were tired on longer days. I’m sure we’ll all miss his evening lessons over dinner about Buddhism and local culture, and the effort he and the trek team put in to make it an unforgettable couple of weeks!

Advice for Potential Travellers

You're unlikely to see anyone else on the route except for a few yak herders, so if you're keen on point to point trekking and want to get away from it all (and don't mind roughing it a bit!) then I can't recommend it enough.

Amazing

The Food was brilliant ! Thank you to MC who made sure all my allergies were taken care of and I never ever went hungry !
The tents were spacious and we could stand up in them , there was wifi at every camp and only one or two cold showers ! Brilliant food and wildlife throughout , scenic clean campsites and a great itinerary-very much exceeded our expectations! We had the most amazing time .

Most Inspirational Moment

Etosha national park ! The first game drive we saw lion cubs and the zebras wondering in the campsite were so cool !

Thoughts on Group Leader

Shane was very insightful and especially knowledgeable when it came to locating animals in Etosha national park which made it particularly memorable.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you have allergies do not hesitate to book . I was very worried coming on this trip about such needs but they really accommodate to the best they can and take the time to understand such dietary requirements to ensure you have the best time possible . Appreciate this isn’t always possible but from my experience MC was brilliant .

Views for days

This was one of the most spectacular walking holidays. The Dolomites are even more impressive in person, and walking among their jagged peaks gave me a real sense of adventure. I particularly enjoyed Tre Cime di Lavaredo and exploring Monte Piana. Hotel Adler provides a relaxing end to the day with excellent meals and a great drinks list.
