The holiday visited areas of Europe where many people would not think of visiting, they are missing stunning scenery,interesting history and the chance to eat fantastic pastries atop a mountain, the best we have ever eaten.
Eating the pastries on a hillside in a village that time seemed to have forgotten.
Excellent he was very good to ensure we always had a plan b as the weather let us down a few times but we were not disappointed ,
Keep an open mind as your trip may need to be changed.
This was my first exodus trip and I enjoyed every minute of it a great way to see 4 countries. I am not a keen cyclist by any means but all you need is a good level of fitness as their are frequent breaks on the way. The distance covered each day is just right and becomes easier as the trip goes on building up a good level of fitness. You have plenty of time to explore the city’s after the cycle normally arriving late afternoon with a guided tour and free time . I would highly recommend this trip and I will definitely be booking another cycling holiday .
I enjoyed meeting the group and new people who had a passion for the outdoors sharing experiences and story's . Wine tasting in chez republic was a great experience and addition to the trip. I also felt a great sense of achievement on completion of the trip and has spurred me on to book another.
Our leader jan couldn't do enough for the group to ensure we all had a great time he would go out of his way to help with any matter even in his free time. Jan was very knowledgable about all the places we visited and knew his history and at the same time had a great senses of humour . Great trip leader down to earth .
The first 2 days are rather hilly shorter distances but pretty hard going at times after day 2 it's plain sailing it's flat as a pancake or as jan would say a ruler !
An amazing trip – a true adventure – far from the madding crowds – loved every minute of it.
So many amazing moments: floating down the Zambezi,completely out of contact, no wi-fi, no phones, apart from our 7 canoes no other boats or people in sight, no sounds except the ho, ho, ho's of hippos and the gentle lapping of the river, totally at peace and one with nature. Watching a family of elephants chomping on grass then crossing the river completely oblivious to our boats just a few feet away. Lying in the tent watching a mother and baby elephant walk by in the dark. Waking to find from the prints in the sand that a hippo had slept beside us. The roar of a lion at twilight hunting for food............
CB/Cuthbert and his assistant Ackmed(?) were superb. Calm, confident, extremely knowledgeable & hardworking, friendly, patient and excellent cooks we always felt in safe hands. We could not have asked for better guides.
The rough camping, often sharing the islands in the middle of the Zambezi with elephants, was no hardship at all. Food, cooked on charcoal fires in big cast iron pots, was ample and good. Mattresses doubled as cushions in the canoes. We didn't take or need any extra food or bedding. Take fingerless gloves to prevent blisters and a powerful torch. Take everything you need for 3 days rough camping & canoeing in your hand luggage - just in case your hold luggage goes AWOL (the case of one of our party went to Kenya and did not reappear until the penultimate day of the holiday). We went straight from the airport to the canoes and having everything prepacked in our hand luggage avoided repacking in the dark and did not see -or need- our cases again until we reached the fly camp.
The Prague to Budapest ride was my first Exodus-experience and it was a great discovery!
Jan, our guide, was eloquent with a large knowledge of all kinds of aspects concerning the trip and succeeded in bringing history and local customs to life during the city strolls, the dinners and cycling.
The tour was a pleasant mixture: some major cities, a couple of small UNESCO listed villages and the natural scenery during cycling.
The ride through Vienna was fun and so was the wine tasting in Mikulov!
Fantastic, the good vibes!
I took an extra day to discover Budapest on my own after the tour, which I definitely recommend.
A tour of Cuba. Visited Vinales, Trinidad, Cienfuegos, Havana.
Visit to Trinidad the people and vibe was amazing. Also to explore different areas of Cuba and the people and learning more about the history of the country. Dinner in a farm house in Vinales. Live Music in most restaurants. Also the dancing - salsa was amazing!
Jorg - knowledgeable and helpful. Was a bit of a joker.
Make sure you stay hydrated. As it can get really hot. I suffered from bad stomach bug after so be a bit careful with where you eat.
This is a late review but I wanted to add the avalanche of positive reviews for this trip.
Vietnam is not one of the ‘main’ tourist destinations, but it should be. Its a lovely country with a rich history and a friendly people.
Halong bay - the postcard pictures you may have seen don't do it justice. We also by chance (while visiting Ho Chi Minh's stilt house in Hanoi) bumped into some war veterans (in full military uniforms) who were paying their respects. With our guide as translator we asked them about that time and their feelings about westerners today. They told us they hold no grudges and warmly welcomed us as visitors to their country. It was quite a refreshing experience - totally different to what I expected them to say. One last thing to include - the war remnants museum. The visit made me feel quite somber but I thought it important that I had visited. The Vietnamese pull no punches when they show the events of that time but you leave the museum with a feeling that while they remember the past, they look hopefully to the future too.
I have been on a few trips like this (both with Exodus and other similar operators) and I have to say without doubt that our guide Anh was hands down the best guide by far. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for him, the trip logistics were handled with ease, he was fountain of knowledge for the many questions the group had on Vietnam's history and culture - and he did it all with a smile. Everyone in our group got on great (we 'gelled' as they say) and he was a part of our group... a friend.
Pack light, there is plenty of opportunities to get laundry done very cheaply - and it leaves more luggage space for the tailored clothes you will want to buy in Hoi An.
this was our 10th holiday with Exodus and as usual everything well organised at the resort. Good hotel with good food. Well varied walks.
Meeting a great and varied group of people. Its the people that can sometimes reset your life.
Excellent leader however I consider that local leaders often add more to the holiday with their local knowledge of the area, culture and history.
Fantastic!
Standing on the wall, it disappearing into the distance & looking behind & it disappearing .
A true gent! He couldn't help us enough as a group & individually. His knowledge, well their wasn't a question he didn't have a answer too.. & a really good sense of humour. Genuinely a nice guy.
Bring coffee! Once you leave beijing that's it.
We chose this trip in part because of our schedule and in part because we have never been to Greece. We didn’t really know what to expect but the trip delivered more than we could have hoped for. The history, the scenery, the activity, the leaders, the group and the food combined to make this a fantastic week-long adventure. I now have a much better understanding and appreciation of Greece, its culture and its people.
There were inspirational moments every single day of the trip. Whether it was seeing the actual rock from which Paul addressed the Corinthians, bicycling on the most beautiful stretch of coastline I have ever seen (near Nafplio) or simply cresting a challenging hill, the trip was filled with magical moments.
I cannot say enough good things about our trip leaders, Yiannis and Kristos. Yiannis was generally in charge of bicycling with the group, acting as tour guide, and telling Greek mythological stories. Kristos was in charge of driving the van, bicycle maintenance and was in charge of everything food and alcohol related. Both did a masterful job keeping us safe, informed and well-fed. I was most impressed with how the two communicated with one another and synchronized their actions. It seemed as though Kristos magically appeared at the busier intersections and blocked traffic for us with the van. Yiannis was always aware of the traffic around us and masterfully directed traffic to keep us safe. I especially enjoyed hearing Yiannis' take on current events in Greece and respected his convictions and ideology. Both leaders possess a terrific sense of humor which is perhaps the most important trait for creating an enjoyable trip experience.
Book your trip to Greece and be lucky enough to have Yiannis and Kristos as your trip leaders! You may want to ride a hill or two before you come. I'm from Iowa where the world is still flat so it took me a day or two to get used to the hills.
Absolutely fantastic trek through different mountainous zones, pushed myself to the limit but it was well worth it to reach that summit!
For me, it was getting to Stella point. I struggled on summit night and was almost spent by that point! I was rather emotional when we arrived, but the leader (Chris) and the rest of the group gave me the push I needed to reach the summit! Other highlights for me were the Barranco Wall - it looks intimidating but it's so much fun and was very different from any other day.
Chris was brilliant. Cool headed, calm, and completely in control. It was very reassuring to have someone like him in control. The assistant guides were also fantastic, our full team of 45 guides and porters (for a group of 11 passengers) could not do enough for us! From bed tea, warm water for washing, delicious and varied meals served to us and our camps set up when we arrived in the afternoon - everything was taken care of.
If you are anything like me, take more than enough layers! I get very cold, and even with the high quality hired sleeping bag, my thermals on at night and a hot water bottle I'd still wake up a little cold! I highly recommend hiring the gear - the down jacket was brilliant, and cumbersome as it is you will be thankful on summit night. Hand/foot warmers were also invaluable to me. You are well catered for so don't need masses of sweets and snacks, but I found it helpful to have something to keep you going that you can put in your pocket (also - the guides LOVED my toffees - if anyone needs any suggestions of gifts to take!) Some of the group had clip devices that they put their cameras in - this is something that would make things a lot easier - getting your camera out of your pocket is difficult at the best of times and it would dissuade me from taking photos. Diamox is an interesting one - we were 50/50 and 9 out of 10 made it to the top. It is very much a personal choice, I didn't take it, and I was glad I hadn't, but for some I think it proved invaluable.
