This was a lovely holiday. It was good to move around Croatia. Starting in Trogir at a lovely hotel. Korcula Island hotel location good. Dubrovik interesting, pleased hotel not in centre.
Loved Trogir and would liked to have stayed longer With the leaders help I was able to get tickets for a concert inthe Catheral really recommend this.
Excellent
If you can afford spend a few extra nights in Trogir.The location of the Hotel Sumratin in Dubrovnik was good as you could get away from the crowds which are in the centre old town to a nice beach.
The walking was a pleasant surprise, because it was more challenging than I thought it would be. Long walks through lovely countryside with a group of very friendly people. What more could you ask for .The food was a little disappointing in taste but we never went hungry. Definately recommend it as a walk with a difference
Collecting the stamps for the pilgramage passport at the various bars, cafes and churches added an unusual aspect to the walking trip. A great keep sake at the end of a very pleasant week.
Our group leader was very entertaining and loved to talk about a wide range of topics. Very attentive and his tales of walking through the hills and mountains were a pleasure to listen too. Top marks
Keep an open mind about the food. It is geared for pilrims and so is cheap but plentyful.
A truly excellent Way of experiencing Europe’s most fantastic landscape.
Coming from Australia, where there are hardly any mountains, this environment took my breath away. The mountain landscape with snow and glaziers are views that I will remember forever.
An excellent guy and an amazing guide.
Arrive a little earlier and take some of the higher cable cars up to some the peaks we don't walk to.
Well organised trip of a lifetime. It was 3 holidays rolled into one. The rainforest, Inca Trail and Lake Titcaca, – all so different but in the one country. Amazing. If you are thinking about doing it, go ahead and do it before it is too late. Life is too short.
Watching the macaws circling and recircling ready to swoop down on the rock face.Making it up Dead Woman's Pass on the Inca Trail, an achievement in itself!The wonder of Machu Picchu when you go through the Sun Gate - it is amazing. The village at Lake Titicaca - so tranquil.
Very informative and helped me a lot when I had problems with breathing due to the high altitude.Flaminia was always calm, and nothing was too much trouble for her.
Take your walking poles. Drink plenty of water. Take spare batteries for your head torch - this is essential for when you make the trips to the toilet tent in the middle of the night. Take loads of insect repellent. Take a mixture of Peruvian Sols and US dollars as on the whole US dollars were only required for tips to the guides, porters etc.
Although some of the wildlife encounters did fall below my expectations as set by the information in the trip notes, the group was great and the holiday was fun – I have good memories of it. Especially if this would be your first wildlife trip to North America, you will see lots of ‘firsts’. The scenery is amazing and you’ll have plenty of time to explore Vancouver city too.
I don't know about inspirational, but the highlights for me were snorkelling near the harbour seal haul-out and being joined by a pup in the water, and also an unexpected sighting of a family North American river otters when we got back to the harbour in Nanaimo. Also seeing a mother and cub grizzly bear at Orford River and the sightings of orcas and lots of pacific white-sided dolphins on the boat journey to and from the bears. And encountering a mother raccoon and three kits in Stanley Park, Vancouver city.The stay at the Canadian Princess resort at Ucluelet was lovely - relaxing and a home from home.
Jo was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and a good fixer. She is extremely communicative and chatty.
Be prepared to help with lifting your luggage on and off the roof rack of the minibus each time the group moves hotels, and pack a bit lighter to make this job easier.Canada is very expensive, so budget plenty for eating out/buying food (no meals are included in this trip). In British Columbia you need to add on a sales tax of 12% and (if eating out) a tip of 18% which is in practice mandatory and often goes straight on the bill, so everything is effectively 30% more than the menu price.If you're veggie, choice is pretty limited when eating out, so consider doing some food shopping once there so some of your meals can be 'DIY' in your hotel room.We were blessed with beautiful weather and Jo had the idea of collecting money for a kitty to buy picnic food which worked really well (but wouldn't if it rained a lot!), so we got 6 picnic lunches for CAD40 which was good value.
Excellent trip I can only encourage everyone to go on. We were really lucky with the weather as well so took hundreds of beautiful pictures. Well organised very enjoyable trip.
Finally climbing up Mt Toubkal was the most memorable time of the trip but actually all the way just as good.
Our group leader was a very nice berber man who has great temper and very proud of his country. Taught us very interesting things about the Berbers. Looked after everybody and was never tired to help. Was open minded to our special requests and supported us in harder moments. Very good English and good humour.
Next time I would take my own mattress as extra layer as the one provided wasn't quite thick enough for me...
An overall excellent trip and most enjoyable holiday, made all the more so by the delightful company of fellow travellers at the hotel. The hotel was beautifully situated in stunning scenery, and it was always a pleasure to return from a day out with a good appetite to enjoy a steaming bowl of soup and a tasty meal.
The location of the hotel would be hard to beat. On a holiday such as this, there is rarely a single stand-out inspirational moment: rather, the experience builds, with a variety of being out in the fresh air amid beautiful scenery, combined with trips to interesting destinations. By the end of the week, the stresses and strains of everyday life back home seemed a distant memory.
Cosmin was very pleasant and knowledgable, and was excellent in his role. If there was one criticism, it would have been the failure to adjust the itinerary to circumstances. The advertised trip to look for beavers was a total waste of time, and predictably so: nothing much has been seen of them since June or July, because of low water levels. Standing around in the dark on the bug-ridden bank of a not very pleasant smelling river, with someone shining a torch trying to catch a glimpse of a a distant brown creature in muddy brown water, was not my idea of a good use of time. There were other attractions locally we could have visited instead (such as the bat cave, which other groups visited), but possibly Exodus do not give their guides discretion to change published events, and maybe some people would have been disappointed not even to try to see the beavers, but I felt that much better use of this time would have been possible.
I stayed an extra night in Bucharest: it seemed to me a pity to see nothing of the capital other than the airport. The group flight necessitates an early departure for Bucharest, and I was able to secure an evening return flight a day later, meaning that I had nearly a day and a half to see the city (which was plenty) for the cost of only one night's accomodation (and I would recommend the Rembrandt Hotel, situated in the heart of the old town and ideally located to see everythingworth seeing).
Easily the best holiday I’ve done to date. Trekking is a fantastic way to travel. Exodus is a very well organised company and I was very impressed with the correspondence ahead of the trip.
It's hard to say, it may sound too obvious, though, the day we done the peak of Toubkal would probably be it; though again, all the scenery throughout the trip was impressive. I was surprised how well everyone in the group got on, having reasonably similar interests, which made the trip even more enjoyable.
Hassan had a great sense of humour, and, also well organised, keeping us informed of any thing we needed to know.
If, like me, you're not used to having breakfast, having something you can snack on while walking is quite handy. I also noticed a few of our group had crocs (or similar rubber slip on shoes) and, although I had previously wrote these off as a fashion disaster, they did seem perfect for around the camp site.
Lovely walking trails with spectacular views of the coastline, quite rocky in places which could be challenging on the knees/calves/thighs!
Seeing the beautiful coast and the visit to Herculaneum.
Jo Payne was fantastic. Good guide and a great sense of humour. Very caring and helpful. She tended to underplay the walks a little (so this didn't put people off), but we all helped each other and discovered we were actually capable of achieving more than we might have first thought. She was extremely encouraging and gave plenty of breaks with little stories of local knowledge. It was obvious that she was very highly thought of by the local people.
Get reasonably fit first. Poles are a good idea as there are lots of 'undulations' and steps. It is cooler in the mountains than on the coast so a jumper (and pyjamas at night!) is a good idea.
The scenery was even more spectacular than we expected. Villabassa is a good base with every amenity on the doorstep. It is a very picturesque and friendly town.
The Three Chimneys walk and the ascent up Monte Piana both provided amazing awe-inspiring views. The archeological features relating to World War 1 were also very fascinating and surprising.
Karl was a very friendly, sociable, and amusing leader and ensured we were all well informed. He also went at a pace allowing us to enjoy the many varied views and to take photographs. He clearly wanted us to enjoy our time there to the full.
Don't forget your camera!!!
