So much in such short time....
This trip is amazing. If you are looking to squeeze as much as possible of the must-sees in and around the golden triangle, this is a great choice. It’s not a relaxing trip as it’s constantly on the go with long days of sightseeing and traveling and not much time to just hang out and relax. But it’s very rewarding to get to see so many amazing sights in just 9 days
Most Inspirational Moment
Of course Taj Mahal, but getting to see tigers in the wild in Ranthambore was incredible
Thoughts on Group Leader
Naveen was outstanding. India is not an easy country to navigate but he made it all work and got us safely to all the sights we were supposed to see
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for several very early wake ups to catch sunset at the Taj Mahal, game drive and Varanasi. The overnight train is not comfortable, but it's an experience, just may not get that much sleep.

Excellent inspite of some heavy rain
Excellent mixture of some hill walking for the first three days and then some spectacular Atlantic coastal scenery for the rest of the trip.
A very nice group who got on well together.
Most Inspirational Moment
Celebrating with the whole group with some sparkling wine at the castle of Aljezur out in the open in the pouring rain
Thoughts on Group Leader
Francisco and Rafael were brilliant. Organised, well informed, friendly and fun.
Always willing to share their knowledge about history or politics or flora and fauna or whatever.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The weather will probably be good but be prepared for some rain. I have gone on about the rain but there was some pleasant sunny weather as well!

Amazing Trip!
Everything was spectacular – from hiking in the mountains and learning about the history of Evia to swimming in the Aegean Sea and basking in the warm sun. The numerous Tavena’s and restaurants added to the experience, making it both adventurous and relaxing.
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting a Bee keeper, which brought a different element to the trip. Fascinating and inspiring!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide George, went above and beyond in every way. As a local from the area, he brought a passionate and authentic touch to the journey.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do bring sturdy hiking boots, hiking poles can be a great companion, sunscreen and hat are a must.

The Most Wonderful Week!
We spent the week at the Dui Torri hotel and restaurant this was our “home base”. The Hotel was clean and updated the view from our balcony was breathtaking. The hotel staff was top notch always smiling and helpful with any requests. The daily trips were well planned and organized, and I was able to enjoy them all! The food was great and the area had some great local restaurants that were not only delicious but extremely reasonable. Walking the streets in the neighborhood were also enchanting people were always quick to offer a “Buongiorno” as you walked past them in the street. We are looking forward to our next Exodus vacation.
Most Inspirational Moment
Standing at the end of the garden in Ravello was the most inspiring, but everyday had an amazing moments that will not be forgotten.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader was Veriano Verde, and he was what made this trip more amazing than it might have been. He took time to explain things and had the patience of a saint our group was a little rambunctious but he kept everything under control. His knowledge was only overtaken by his wit. I really hope I can run into him again as he might have been the highlight of the Amalfi Coast.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I would recommend this as it takes you completely through the Amalfi Coast, you get sometime in each city.
If you are lucky enough to get Veriano as your guide you are in for an amazing time.

Very well-organized trip in the stunning Algarve of Portugal
My first group tour walking holiday and I enjoyed it immensely. Every walk was different – a really nice mix of mountains and coast – and the scenery was stunning. Interesting bits of history, geology, and biology from Francisco, the trip leader, who is from the area, added a lot to the value of the experience for me. Perfect amount of walking each day, peppered with rest stops at cafes (the best parts of the trip, in my opinion) and visits with local artisans, plus a couple surprises that made the experience more memorable. Francisco and Raphael were great guides and it was awesome to just relax and let them take care of all the logistics.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking the streets of Monchique

Francisco and Raphael were well-organized, attentive, and fun

Bring both raingear and sunscreen

A wonderful tour of two amazing and delightfully different countries.
What a trip. The variety of once in a lifetime experiences is mind-blowingly. Manic Dehli, the Taj Mahal, mysterious and atmospheric Varanasi, the chill of Nepal and the views of the Himalayas. It will all live with me forever. Amazing trip!
Most Inspirational Moment
Dusk and dawn on the Ganges. I will never be able to describe how mystical and beautiful it was. Varanasi is a city you feel rather than see. Loved it.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jatin was just brilliant. Generous with his time and knowledge. Always kept us safe and informed. Allowed me to relax and just enjoy these two wonderful countries.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you get a chance fly from Pokhara to Kathmandu. The drive is long and very uncomfortable and loses you a whole day in the capital.

Perfect! The area is so diverse, historical, profound and exceedingly beautiful!!!
An amazing trip to share a spectacular area of Portugal with 10 others and 2 exceptional guides. The Tour was well organized; flowed well; prompt; lovely hotels each quite diverse.
Appreciated the “eco” focus of our guides and also the introduction to local artisans and businesses. My first trip to Portugal and I learned so much!
Really appreciated the guides providing poles to hike with as I couldn’t bring in hand luggage from Canada.
Guides worked well together and were well attuned to what was happening and knowledgeable.
Amazed at the differences of each hike despite the proximity and being a “mountain girl” I also appreciated our start there.
Highly recommend this tour for anyone who love nature and hiking!!🥾

The end of the hiking at the Lighthouse. Felt very blessed to have experienced such an amazing holiday with some very nice people from other parts of the world.

Very professional, knowledgeable and obviously passionate about his job. Worked very well with Rafael. Excellent.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Wear good footwear…I was glad I brought my more supportive boots. Delighted the guides had poles for me to use.
And…it “can” really rain…be ready!

Perfectly Curated
Francisco & Rafael delivered a perfect flavour of the Algarve. Just the right amount of walking, visiting artisans and local producers & restaurants serving delicious regional specialities and wines as well as sharing their knowledge and passion for their country in a fun, safe environment.
Most Inspirational Moment
Starting in the beautiful mountain region around Monchique to the awe inspiring power of the Atlantic Ocean, the scenery is utterly spectacular.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Francisco is professional, always on time, works hard to ensure everyone in a mixed ability group had the best experience. While, behind the scenes, keeping the transport clean and continuing his environmental work during his free moments between guiding.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for all weathers and underfoot conditions. I found my trail shoes were perfect for sand, rock and the odd water crossing. Take this tour, you won't regret it.
