Rome, Assisi & Magical Umbria - Premium Adventure
Colours of rajasthan trip
Very busy trip with some days of long travel between venues , but plenty of comfort stops / lunch stops along the way Saw many major cultural sites and so much history with associated information provided by Gaj ( leader) or local guides at venues. Some hotels had swimming pools so worth taking your swim gear. A cool down after the day spent in bright sunshine and 40 degree heat was most welcome .
Most Inspirational Moment
Difficult to pick one , obviously the Taj Mahal hugely impressive but then again the history of some forts/ temples/ towns also impressive.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Gaj dealt very well with a challenging individual in the group , whose behaviour ranged from hysterical meltdown ( matching a level usually only seen in a toddler) , general passive /aggressive attitude and comments , who also had an inability to follow simple instructions regarding timekeeping and not wandering off alone - something the rest of the group complied with which then meant we spent ages hanging around waiting for said individual to be retrieved from a cultural building in order for us all to move on . Gaj remained professional , courteous , diplomatic and polite at all times despite some obvious provocation from aforementioned person. Gaj was more than happy to discuss his home nation , culture , history and current problems.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take some sweets/snacks for the minibus. Lunch en route may not happen at specific times so wise to have own supply if peckish. Take swim gear , sun screen and a hat. Go with the flow , enjoy the experiences and food .
Cycle Indochina & Angkor- Premium Adventure
Our guide, Rit, took this from a great experience to a brilliant one, he was a rock star and he alone would be enough for us to book another trip with you
Most Inspirational Moment
So many, but the main ones were cycling along quiet roads beside the rice paddy fields and the fruit trees; a night in the Mekong Delta: and the food, OMG the food was wonderful !!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Rit is a rock star, do whatever you need to do to keep him !
Cycling Vietnam - Premium Adventure
The Exodus team were just fantastic. Led by Lam who was perfect guide. Sieu and the 2 Vu’s driving were great fun, very competent and thoughtful and could not have done more for us. Logistics were seamless at every hotel arrival and departure.
Most Inspirational Moment
Dalat and the 30km descent, hotel-wise the Hon Tam Merperle was lovely. Rain/poor visibility meant the pass wasn't very good but would be stunning in clear weather.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Lam was simply excellent.
Fantastic
From beginning to end this trip was one wow moment after another. The trip itinerary is well structured into 4 parts, all quite different. Trekking the jungle in Bukit Lawang and being lucky to see so many orangutan was unbelievably moving. The two very different stays in the chilled out beach town of Sanur and Ubud with its monkey forest (not on the itinerary but a must to visit). Flores islands were just stunning, loved the two nights sleeping on deck quite literally under the stars. The unexpected highlight of this trip was probably the snorkelling ….never have I seen such a variety of fish, corals and abundance of life underwater.
Most Inspirational Moment
So many moments, the very human like and curious orangutans, being charged at by a 3 meter long male Komodo, the tranquility of the temples and the peace just sitting on deck watching the sunrise in the mornings. The walk up the hill on Padar was worth every step to watch sunsetting over the islands.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ely is one of the best. She guided us efficiently and effortlessly through many flights, journeys and experiences over the 14 days. Her enthusiasm never faltered even keeping us company on what should have been her rest days. Her concern for our safety was paramount even sitting in the tender boat watch over us whilst snorkelling. Ely made the trip the fantastic experience it was.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Long trousers a must for the jungle, be prepared because these leech get everywhere!

It was a really good trip… maybe a few less castles and extra time in Aqaba ..
Most Inspirational Moment
The stay in the desert.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leader Amer was one of the best I have ever had… he’s English was spoken like a native and his knowledge was beyond excellent…he was able to answer every one of our questions and explained each site to the full… he was a great organiser when it came to preference for places to eat. I’m vegetarian and he made sure I was catered to..he knew all the best restaurants that were not too expensive..
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take photo copies of your passport and insurance…need sea shoes for the Dead Sea and the Red Sea…
Camino de Santiago Trek
Very good.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walks in countryside.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very good, helpful, knowledgeable and created good atmosphere.
Discover the Sierra Aitana
This trip was exactly right for me. Superb mountain scenery in south east Spain, and just the right amount of challenge. Oh yes – and sun every day.
The hotel is well placed in the centre of Aitana. The food and service are both excellent.
Most Inspirational Moment
Scrambling up to the Aitana ridge.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Guide Jose is excellent - my best ever guide. He lives locally, and so is very knowledgeable about the terrain, history, culture and wildlife in this area. His itinerary is carefully chosen to acclimatise the group for the more challenging walks later in the week. Every walk was a different delight, with rock pinnacles, forest glades, ridge walks and expansive views into the mountains and down to the coast.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The route descriptions and gradings are accurate so read carefully in order to decide if it is suitable. Note that the temperatures are still warm even on the summits (This was September), so lots of water will need to be carried (2.5+ litres).
Highlights of Vietnam
An excellent all round fantastic experience. Great value for money, excellent group leader, and a perfectly balanced programme.
Most Inspirational Moment
It is difficult to pinpoint one particular moment as everyday was an experience. If I was pushed, the boat trip around Ha Long bay was particular good.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader, Binh, was exceptional. His knowledge of every location was impressive, always available to answer questions and provide multiple options for additional activities during down time. A truly excellent guide and a credit to Exodus.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The heavy was impressive and would recommend future travellers pack flip flops and a plastic poncho. Both can be purchased in country if required.
Wild camping Wadi rum and Petra
We have had a brilliant holiday, Abdullah was great he gave us lots of information and history about wadi rum and Petra. Considering we were wild camping our chef made some great food. Plenty of water and tea, coffee wasn’t so great.
Most Inspirational Moment
The sun sets were amazing, and getting up in morning to a beautiful sun rise. Petra is amazing I highly recommend it.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Abdullah is an excellent group leader, he answer our questions, help us in any way he could.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Lots of hiking in sand, you do have to ready for heat we did stop for water and food breaks. It does get very cold at night.
