Our first guided walking holiday (but not our first trip with Exodus) , and our first visit to this part of Spain.
A really enjoyable week in rural Andalucia with a good mix of walks in spectacular scenery, great food, company etc. Particular thanks to our outstanding, most knowledgeable and helpful guide Michael, and all the staff at Cortijo Rosario.
Lots to choose from - plump for completing the Caminito del Rey. Don’t have a great head for heights ! El Chorro Gorge is truly spectular.
Absolutely superb in every way - a sincere thank you Michael. Eleanor and Harry.
This was our first guided walking holiday and the walks are not particularly demanding. Lots of stops for views, things of interest etc.
The trip was as described in the trip notes – no surprises. One hotel was poor but understand it was a last minute replacement for the planned hotel. Thee were 16 in the party but the mini bus was not big enough for the passengers and their luggage. We had a vote and kept the vehicle but uses another van for the luggage. We were a bit rushed on occasions because winter hours are shorter at the sites, on two days we could easily have started earlier.
The visit to Gadaremes and understanding more about the miracle when Jesus transferred Demons into pigs.
Ibtahim was good. He had enthusiasm for is country. He was helpful. The bus driver was a steady and mature driver. Pleased that he was with the vehicle we used.
Travel light, read the trip notes before departure.
The trip notes explained the trip so there were no surprises. We were a little rushed at time because of the shorter opening hours during winter.
The first and last hotel is Amman was poor. The breakfast were below standard and the room we had on the first visit had problems (the shower collapsed). The room we used on the last night had been refurbished. My principal criticism and the staff appeared to be going through the motions.
In contrast the second hotel was not brilliant but the staff worked hard to make us welcome.
There were 16 in the group and the bus was too small for all of us and luggage. An additional was hired form day 3 to transport the luggage whixh partly resolved th eproblem. The vehicle we had was a converted van so the engine was under a cover in th epassenger compartment with the inevitable noise when it worked hard. It would be more comfortable to use a 16 seater with the engine under the floor.
Visiting the Roman town of
good trip
good
good leaders: Maroune and Hassan. Able to control time, pace and most important of all the safety conditions. All arrangements are satisfactory.
good trip if you like mountains. But be sure that you have the stamina to climb an elevation of 1000m in a day.
One of our best trips with Exodus, great trekking weather but a tad chilly at night. Loved the vast expanses of beautiful stratus, cliffs, mountains, river beds and Beautiful old isolated villages. Lahcen and Hassan were the most fun professional guides and nothing was too much trouble. Would certainly return to Morocco 👏👏
Reaching the top!!
Totally amazing guides in every respect!
Book now for Undiscovered Atlas.
Excellent trip, fantastic food, really good group and guides who were experienced, knowledgeable and genuine. Would go again in a heart beat!
We all reached the summit together and the views all week we’re phenomenal.
Our Group leader was friendly, genuinely caring and brilliant at ensuring we all stayed together. He made us feel welcome from the very start and was part of the fun.
This is a fab trip to get away from it all. Stunning scenery, remote locations make you feel you have stepped back in time and are seeing a people who have lived the same way for centuries. We saw no-one except villagers who came out to smile and watch people mad enough to walk fur pleasure. We were looked after brilliantly by our guides and their team. The food was plentiful and delicious. Having no internet relaxed the brain! A wonderful relaxing trip.
Supporting all of the team todo the walk and get to the top.
Excellent - friendly, kiva and caring.
If you are reasonably fit and have walked 10 miles plus at home then you will be able to do this (and enjoy it). Walking poles are a really good idea as they help on the scree which there is lots of.
Ecuador is a fascinating, varied and often stunningly beautiful. Apart from high up on some volcanoes, it is very green, with deep valleys dissecting the layers of rock formed of volcanic ash. The people are very friendly and the ” indigenous ” (as they are known) still live in traditional houses in some mountain areas and have colourful fresh food markets.
The programme was well planned, taking in cloud forest, rain forest, the high Andes and the coastal plain. There were activities to appeal to various tastes including bird watching, exploring geologically active areas and wandering in the old colonial centres of towns like Quito and Cuenca. I enjoyed watching the scenery on the long coach journeys (occasionally obscured by rain, it being the wetter season). The hotels, especially the haciendas and the Santa Lucia in Cuenca, were comfortable and large portions of food usually tasty. With so many places included in the itinerary, the pace of the tour was fast with little “spare” time, but that enabled us to see and experience so much.
The scenic walk around the Cuicocha crater lake, beautiful and geographically interesting. The valley side train journey to the "Devil's Nose". The walk in the Cajas National Park - hills like the Scottish Highlands only bigger.
Fabian, our group leader, was excellent. He worked hard to ensure everything was in order every day but always appeared confident and relaxed. His experience and sense of humour made him a good "minder" for the group, keeping us in order! He kept us well informed about the places and our future movements. I like the way he has so much respect for his countrymen, not allowing us to take inappropriate or intrusive photos.
Be prepared for a full-on tour with little time to relax, except possibly on the long coach journeys - unless, like me, you don't want to miss seeing everything you pass.
The Exodus holiday in South Africa was a wonderful introduction to African landscapes and wildlife. I have travelled widely in my life but with little experience of Africa. This holiday exceeded my expectations in two ways: the remarkable opportunities to see wildlife at close quarters in Kruger; the amazing landscapes of the Blyde River canyon, Swaziland and the Drakensurg Mountains. My enjoyment of the holiday had a lot to do with the way it was organised and led by the group leader. I have been left with many great memories.
It was inspirational to be in Kruger National Park for a few days and to see the great variety of wildlife. I'm thankful that there remain a few places on earth that have this rich ecosystem. A three hour walk just after dawn was especially exciting - being aware that large animals were around us and that we were walking through their natural habitat, their world
The group leader, Rowan Moon, was excellent and I rate him highly. His enthusiasm and energy was infectious. He is natural leader and developed a close relationship with us as a group and as individuals. Organisation and time-keeping was excellent. He has developed a very good working relationship with Sofiso, the driver, and I felt safe and well-cared for at all times. He has remarkable wildlife-spotting skills and was able to detect the presence of animals (including many species of birds) and identify them accurately and instantly. He also has very good hiking skills and was confident at route-finding and care of people who struggled on more challenging parts of the mountain trails. The driver, Sofiso, was superb: very safe driving at all times on some challenging road surfaces, very well organised for luggage and food preparation and hard working & reliable in all ways. He is also friendly and good company. Betz, a trainee guide, worked hard assisting with food prepapration. A few times she gave information when we were touring in the minibus but I found it really hard to understand her because she has a very strong South African accent. This would have been a big concern for me if she had been our group leader.
My advice for travellers buying this holiday is to ensure that they are as fit as possible for the days of walking. And to be aware that while the trails are not over-long, nor are the altitude climbs significant (about 700m maximum), the routes are very rugged at times, there are parts when there are steep or near vertical sections on or near the route, there are a few quite tricky river crossings and there are very challenging metal ladders on the last two days (see my comments below). The guide Rowan, and the driver Sofiso, gave excellent support on these walks.
What an amazing adventure that we have had with exodus, never been to Vietnam before this was a great way to see the country.
The most inspirational was for us was the trip to Halong bay on the boat, seeing all the islands and the caves. The boat was basic but clean the food was gorgeous and staff where willing to help.
Huy was full of information regarding different places that we visited, he was flexible if we wanted to do our thing i.e having a meal by our selfs.
The over night sleeper train was hard, lack of sleep and noisy.
