Escorted Holidays

Our escorted tours offer unforgettable experiences for those seeking adventure and cultural discovery. From uncovering India’s cultural wonders with trips to the Taj Mahal to making the rewarding climb to the Everest Base Camp in Nepal, Exodus creates immersive journeys that cater to a wide variety of interests and abilities. Group sizes are intentionally kept small, ranging from 8 to 16 travellers, because smaller groups allow for a more personal experience and it ensures that we travel responsibly, and tread lightly in the places we visit. Smaller groups also foster a friendly dynamic, bringing together people from different backgrounds with a shared passion for travel. 

Every escorted holiday is led by one of our expert local guides who offer invaluable insights into the places you visit. They’ll reveal the stories behind the sights, introduce you to local customs and flavours, and take care of all the logistics—leaving you free to enjoy the adventure. 

If you’re looking for cultural immersion, Italy’s colourful Amalfi Coast and Hoi An’s lantern-lined streets in Vietnam are fantastic options, where rich history, delicious cuisine and warm hospitality await. For a once-in-a-lifetime walking adventure, why not trek the iconic Inca Trail through cloud forests and mountain passes before arriving at the world-renowned ancient citadel, Machu Picchu? Wildlife lovers can explore Costa Rica’s lush rainforests, zipline through jungle canopies, spot exotic animals like sloths and monkeys, and relax on pristine Pacific Coast beaches. Wherever you choose to go, our escorted holidays promise extraordinary experiences every time.

How physically demanding are the escorted holidays?

Our escorted tours are graded to suit different fitness levels, ranging from easy walks and relaxing cycles to more challenging treks and rides with steeper inclines.

Each trip’s difficulty level is clearly marked on our site and in our brochures, so you can choose one that matches your comfort level and activity preference. We aim to offer adventures for everyone, so there’s a great range of trips depending on what you’re looking for. 

What should I pack for an escorted tour?

What you pack depends on your destination, the time of year you’re travelling in, and the activities planned for your trip. For most tours, we recommend lightweight, comfortable clothing suitable for a range of temperatures, durable walking shoes, a hat, a waterproof jacket, and essentials like sunscreen and a camera. If you’re unsure about what to bring, our trip notes will provide detailed packing lists based on your specific tour, ensuring you’re fully prepared to get the most out of your experience. 

How much free time is included in an escorted tour?

While our escorted tours are designed to maximise your time exploring, we always ensure there’s plenty of free time built into our itineraries so you can unwind, make use of your accommodation’s facilities or explore further. You’ll have time to stroll through local markets, enjoy a meal with new friends, or discover hidden gems at the beat of your own drum. The balance between structured activities and free time gives you that perfect balance of both guided exploration and personal discovery.

This was my 12th Exodus cycling trip and this was one of the most fantastic!
The countryside and mountains are among the most beautiful in Europe.
Our group leader was outstanding, taking care of our many different needs and organising some of the best meals we’ve had.
Brilliant cycling on amazing roads, guided by the best leader, Armando

Josephine COOMBE JONES Cycling in Albania

We had the best guide I’ve ever encountered. His name is Armand and he is the most ressourceful/knowledgeable guide I’ve ever seen. The driver Arsene was also super friendly and professionnal. It’s not for the faint of heart because there is a LOT of elevation but for anyone decently fit it is qui pleasurable. We had the most amazing views everywhere we went and everything was well planned out and smooth.

Sebastien Michaud Cycling in Albania

This was my first Exodus trip and it was a wonderful two weeks exploring Costa Rica with a small group of 7, our fantastic guide Guillermo and excellent driver Carlos. Two nights in each location, very different landscapes. We saw a huge number of creatures and an amazing 174 species of birds. Great hotels and excellent airport pick up in San Jose. This holiday was fabulous!
