Fully immersive into the local culture, the trip takes in the ways of life across a hugely populated and relatively underdeveloped state of Tamil Nadu and the more prosperous and relatively developed state of Kerala. It is not for the faint heated as long cycling days end with relatively modest accommodation and throughout the local food is the only option, and toilet stops basic.
The unspoilt beauty of the back roads through paddy fields and the scenery of Kerala
He had not done this trip since before covid. Therefore not as well versed on routes, culture, hotels etc as one would usually expect from exodus. That said he was always helpful, organised and keen to see everyone ok.
Be ready for a full immersion into India - and happy with a lack of sophistication
I had a great trip, despite unfortunately not being able to visit Panama due to the ongoing protests. We had 5 days in Nicaragua and 10 day in Costa Rica, every day was different and the wildlife was out of this world. The first week was very busy, cycling a lot with many hills, the second week was a lot more relaxed but still with cycling and activities. We went on 2 crocodile safaris which were great fun as well as some free time in La Fortuna, which came at a great time after a hard weeks cycling. Our Leader, Guilermo (Memo) was great, he had a wicked sense of humour as well as being a great cyclist, i unfortunately wasn’t as fast but enjoyed it all the same!
Getting to the top of a big hill and then being able to come down the otherside to the sun set, we got to the hotel by Lake Nicaragua in time for a sunset that set the sky alight, in that moment you really felt like you were on another planet.
He was lovely, very funny and was able to interact with all group members, he had a personal touch and got on well with the drivers and mechanics, it was a great atmosphere.
Most places you go take card payments, so you don't need as much cash as you think!
Alexandria to Abuu Simbel.: Egypt from top to bottom! This trip packed so much into 11 days, yet it never felt rushed. The archaeological sites are awe-inspiring, in terms of their size, antiquity and elaborate carvings and wall paintings. No amount of looking at photos will prepare you for what you see in person.
Karnak and Luxor temples at night
Very good. Naiel had extensive knowledge of Egyptology - I still don't know how he remembers all of those dynasties. He was friendly and helpful throughout.
MONEY ATMs are readily available including in hotels. You can only withdraw Egyptian pounds (EGP), but get some (I needed about 80 GBP worth) for minor purchases, meals, drinks – and toilets, where you will be asked for a tip of 10 EGP (about 27p), so a wad of small notes is useful. US dollars (USD) are the most useful currency for the tip kitty, meals, hotel bills, optional trips and major purchases. They are acceptable almost everywhere, including street sellers, but there is no coinage in circulation and the price might be rounded up generously. You are likely to pay rather more than if you use EGP. Change, if required, will be in EGP. I got through around 350 USD. Sterling and Euros are not so useful. They may be acceptable in hotels and major tourist shops, but not generally elsewhere. Credit cards are fine for optional trips, hotels and major purchases.
I’ve been on a lot of cycle tours. This was my first with Exodus. What an experience! I was impressed by the high level of organization and professionalism. Cycling through medieval villages, beautiful farmlands and some days overlooking the Mediterranean gave variety to each day. As did the multitude of trails and pathways. Each restaurant and hotel was specially chosen to offer a unique and quality experience. The leader had really done his homework and pointed out points of interest along the way. I appreciated the guided walks around each town in the evening. And, most importantly, we had a lot of fun!
The town of Besalu with its winding streets, monastery and absolutely breathtaking12th Century Bridge.
Our leader was organized, professional, and patient. He was also a wealth of knowledge on each place we visited.
An excellent way to see southern India. There a real difference between Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Probably the boat trip at the end. A real rest from the hectic nature of the trip.
Biju was a fantastic group leader. He was ever helpful, enthusiastic very informative and passionate about his job.
If you want to avoid the dreaded tummy troubles, take care on your choice of food and drink. I had no problem at all and the places we ate at were all excellent. However, if you eat street food or drink tap water be prepared for the consequences!
A thoroughly enjoyable and amazing experience involving some of the most varied and awe-inspiring scenery within Northern Chile and Argentina. We felt that this trip was a cost effective and immersive way of enjoying the scenery. I would re-iterate a previous comment that although the distances often don’t appear that long the combination of altitude, heat, road surface and transfers made for long and tiring days. As a result of our group size a number of the hotels were changed, notwithstanding this we were generally disappointed with the standard and cleanliness of the hotels we stayed in bar a few notable exceptions. Despite the more negatives aspects we have outlined we would definitely recommend the trip as the experience more than overcame any downside.
The highlights are too numerous to mention but the stand-outs for us were the two long descents from stunning Susques down into the Humahuaca gorge and the final days biking down Bishop's slope.
Ale was charming, ever cheerful and worked hard to keep our large group on track. He had great local knowledge and interesting stories that embellished our trip. Our feeling was that there were not enough staff to deal with the group in an efficient way. There were just three people including Ale to drive the 2 vans and provide stop breaks and lunch. Loading the bikes and lunch preparation was slow and time consuming meaning that we often arrived late at the final destination with little down time before our evening meal. The van that was meant to be readily available with our possessions including additional clothing was always at the back of the group which sometimes meant waiting up to 90minutes getting cold for the van to catch up for example.
We definitely benefitted from arriving a few days earlier in San Pedro to acclimatise to the altitude. We also enjoyed visiting some of the sites not covered by the trip on our own (we hired a car), namely the Altiplanic lakes and Chaxa lagoon. Some people in our group suffered from the effects of altitude for a couple of days. Sandy gravel roads were a significant feature of this trip, with one full day on gravel. Experience in off road cycling would be of benefit for these sections. The bike seats were not comfortable for us, consider bringing your own or a padded cover. The weather was unusually warm for our trip meaning that the many warm clothes we brought were barely worn, however you do need some warm clothing for the cooler nights, high altitude and the Geyser trip. Salta was a complete surprise for us. Larger, more interesting and enjoyable than we anticipated. Well worth an extra night or two stay at the end as there is lots to do in and around the city. It also felt completely safe to walk around at all times of the day and night. Argentina is currently very cheap with the blue rate being offered by credit cards and currency exchange from American dollars.
The Vietnam experience was great, and our guide (TV) made sure that everyone was well looked after, I cannot praise him enough!
The cookery course, the trip to Hoi An, our Vietnam guide TV.
Thanh made the whole group very welcome from our first greeting at the airport to our departure to Cambodia. He was very knowledgeable and extremely attentive to the groups needs. We all felt very well looked after with Thanh.
We like the ethos of employing local guides and staff. Our guide Rit, was excellent and very organised. He had a confident calm and helpful manner.
Cycling through the villages in Cambodia, visiting the local food market with Rit,. Swimming in the reservoir, Visiting Ankhor Wat , visiting the Cu Chi tunnels and staying at the Mekong Boutique Resort and Spa. Also our leader Rit was fantastic and the group worked well together. We had some delicious meals.
Our leader Rit went above and beyond to ensure we had a good holiday.
Exodus take the hassle out of travel. Good guides. Good hotels. Great transport.
We had a wonderful trip to Ecuador. The itinerary is well planned with a wide variety of experiences. Our guide, Etiel, was excellent and very knowledgeable and organised. The hotels were very good. Some of the walks were quite challenging but well worth the effort. The scenery is spectacular! With a great group of people, an excellent guide and driver, and a great mix of activities, it is one of the best Exodus tours we have ever been on.
