CORSICAN MOUNTAINS & VILLAGES
Gentlee walking in fantastic scenery, great taste of corsica. I suspect we will all return. Walks are lacking in a focus but scenery compensates.
TROPICAL ISLAND WANDERER - FAMILY HOLIDAY
Wonderful trip – an introduction to more exotic shores for our 14 year old daughter which was a great success and encouraged us to book another trip in 2012 with Exodus.

Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader Sanpath combined a good mix of organisational skill with Sri Lankan hospitality and conviviality. A hit with adults and children alike.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Go!!
NAMIBIAN ADVENTURER FAMILY HOLIDAY
Brilliant family holiday with lots of variety and something for everyone. We travelled as our last big family holiday before our eldest son- 18 went to uni, we also have a 15 year old son and we all agreed it was probably our best holiday yet.
Most Inspirational Moment
Too many to choose just one moment but sunrise over the sanddunes and the amazing variety and numbers of animals at the waterhole in Etosha were real highlights. Also camping- the stars and animal noises at night, we especially enjoyed the last campsite with no elecricity and no-one else there.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Shane and Jonas were brilliant, very knowledgable about the country and animals [the food was also really good and tasted all the better for being cooked and eaten in the open air].
Advice for Potential Travellers
It can be cool at night and on the skeleton coast but also very warm further north so take plenty of layers. Malaria tablets weren't necessary when we went. Lots of early starts and busy days.
MOUNTAINS & VILLAGES OF EVIA
Tiring but most enjoyable.
Most Inspirational Moment
No one particular moment. The whole holiday was a joy from start to finish.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Roger is great. A very thoughtful and helpful guide. We could not ask for a better chap.
Advice for Potential Travellers
When Roger says "undulations" he means "hills", when he says "trainers" he means "walking boots".
PHOTOGRAPHIC SAFARI
Absolutely great trip!! A wonderful safari and so much more – learning what it means to take photographs not just pictures. Thanks to Paul.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Paul was a great - sharing his passion for the Mara and photography!
A TASTE OF CUBA
It was a busy week, cramming in lots of different experiences! However, it was an excellent way to see as much of the island as possible in a short time.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were plenty of great experiences, but my favourite was having dinner in a paladare in Trinidad one evening. There was live music from a quartet, the food was excellent, the setting in a beautiful old house was just fantastic. Truly memorable, it defined my trip to Cuba.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mariella was an excellent group leader. Nothing was too much trouble and she did a great job in balancing everyone's needs and views. She was always happy and really passionate about her country and her job.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Go sooner, rather than later! Change is slowly coming......Be prepared for slow service in some bars and restaurants, you just need to get into 'Cuba' time as soon as possible. Relax with a cuba libre, or a mojito!
MONT BLANC HIGHLIGHTS
Loved the walking and came back feeling much fitter, and relaxed. Beautiful area- when the mist cleared to allow us to see it…
Most Inspirational Moment
The last day when the weather finally cleared and we saw the summit of Mont Blanc for our climb up Le Brevant. Topped off by seeing a golden eagle soaring over us as we approached the top of our walk.I also loved our walk in the Ferret Valley with stunning views and beautiful alpine flowers.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Oliver is a charming, polite, gentle, patient leader with fabulous local knowledge.His jokes have already been mentioned in previous reviews, so I won't dwell on them.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I found walking poles very useful! I wore my wet trousers and fleece and rain jacket everyday for the first 4 days, so make sure you have the right kit and that it is comfortable. Having said that- the rain did not spoil the walk or my enjoyment on any day.
CYCLING THE DALMATIAN COAST
A beautiful series of rides through idyllic countryside, pretty villages and dramatic coastlines. The routes were varied: Croatian gravel, unmade roads, sealed minor roads and main roads – steep and gentle hills, some undulating territory, all manageable even to beginner riders.
Most Inspirational Moment
I'll never forget the exhilarating ride on the last day - through the scary tunnel, out to the brilliant sunshine, then downhill beside sheer cliffs, the sea and vineyards, to a pebbly beach and fabulous swim.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ana was well organised, fun and enthusiastic. Together with Boris she made a perfect holiday for us, topped off with a very stirring rendition of the Croatian national anthem.
Advice for Potential Travellers
You will love it!Bring wet weather gear.The optional ride to the national park is a perfect adventure.
Cyclo Panamerica
Great guides, great scenery, great places, great rum. All in all, a great trip. This was my first Exodus holiday but definitely won’t be my last. We were really well looked after from start to finish, the bikes were good quality and we saw and did loads. The two weeks flew by and I enjoyed the trip from start to finish.
Most Inspirational Moment
Lots of things - Arriving at San Juan, diving straight into the Pacific and watching the sun come down.Sipping beautiful Pina Coladas in the hot springs at la Fortuna. Conquering some of the "rolling" hills in hot, hot Central American sunshine.Cruising around on speedboats with "Captain Jack" in Bocos, seeing dolphins jump out of the water and snorkelling in the clear Caribbean. Drinking lots of rum and dancing to bachata/meringue/reggeaton in Bocos until the early hours of the morning. Flying downhill in Panama at 40mph in the pouring rain, wearing sunglasses and with suncream in my eyes. Paul doing a booze-run so we would have lots of rum and beer when it was Easter. The fruit - immeasurably better than anything you ever get in England, and probably the tastiest I've ever had. And lots, lots, lots more.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Rob was great - very laid back, very accommodating but always managed to get us to where we needed to be without it ever feeling regimented. Paying bills for 17 people could be a nightmare (as we discovered in San Juan) but he had a great system in place so it was completely hassle-free. A very fit rider, but also always up for drinks and dancing in the evenings. Paul (cyclist/mechanic/singer/dancer) and Ronny (driver) were great too. Paul fixed a broken chain in about 2 minutes and kept all the bikes ship shape. They were always up for few rums and a dance too. Could do with learning a bit of English though....
Advice for Potential Travellers
The trip notes say moderate to challenging and they mean it. There are a lot of what Rob described as "rolling" terrain (just plain hills to me) as well as a few steeper climbs. It was very hot too but, if you are reasonably fit, I reckon you'll be fine. If you go out for a group meal on any evenings ask for separate bills at the start.If you go snorkelling in Bocos take note of Rob's advice about how easy it is to get sunburnt. I didn't.....Be prepared to eat more food than you have eaten in your life. Normally a big breakfast, a big lunch and a big dinner. With fruit stops inbetween. With the hills and the heat you need it though.
AMALFI COAST & BAY OF NAPLES
A great holiday with lots of variety from ruins and lesiurely walks to just wandering around the beautiful little places in and around Amalfi
Most Inspirational Moment
Hard to pick one, the walk of the gods was truly amazing. Ravello, positano and Amalfi all beautiful in their own way. We were lucky enough to go to sorrento too which was lovely to. The ruins at herculaeum were spectacular and well preserved which enabled you to really get a feel for the place
Thoughts on Group Leader
Christine was great, each evening we had a meeting in the hotel and we were given an iternary of the following days events. She was very personable and made the holiday very special for us all in the group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
do the trip, it's a lovely chilled trip but with a lot of variety in a very beautiful place
