Fantastic trips

This is a really fascinating, busy, exhausting and quite unique trip across 5 countries in just over 3 weeks. Go with an open mind and you will enjoy the most amazing experiences, see incredible sights, meet really lovely people and learn so much.

Most Inspirational Moment

My favourite time was in the yurt camp at Son Kul lake. After a really hectic couple of weeks this was a brilliant place to relax and chill, walk and ride local horses. There are very few places in the world with no phone or internet access and no sound of roads, planes or trains - but this is one of them. I would have stayed another week here just to unwind and enjoy the spectacular surroundings if I could have.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Alejandro, was quite exceptional - his patience, calmness, kindness and good humour kept us all together as a group for this long and quite intense trip.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This trip requires a really small wardrobe in order to manage a lot of one-night stopovers, with very cool lightweight, easily washable clothing for the incredibly hot places (Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) and a down jacket, hat, gloves and thermals for the much cooler places (Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan). If you take the Astana extension - just make sure your free day is NOT a Monday, when everything (yes, literally everything!) is closed.

Fantastic trip to the Atlas Mountains!

The Atlas Panorama trip was just incredible. We had the chance to explore Marrakesh, with a tour guide to take us to the most beautiful sights and guide us around the markets. We then travelled into the mountains and stayed in the most hospitable village home, with wonderful fresh food provided each day, an expert guide and lots of breath-taking views.

I definitely would recommend this trip!

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking through the mountains on our longest hike and then swimming in a beautiful lake in the middle of glorious views -magic!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Hassan was professional, polite and friendly - an absolute gem.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take enough money for tips and extras! And it's a great trip if you like both culture and hiking.

A fabulous trip

This trip does what it says on the tin – seeing the best of the Mont Blanc circuit in just one week.

Most Inspirational Moment

Panoramic views of Mont Blanc and valley are spectacular. So nice to visit Courmayeur too.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Shaun, very cleverly tailored the walking itinerary to suit the group's wishes and the weather conditions so we got the very best out of each walk every day.

Advice for Potential Travellers

You won't go hungry on this trip. Food is high-end, sumptuous and plentiful.

Almost excellent trip

I have just finished the wonderful Exodus cycle trip crossing the three Baltic Countries Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. First rate trip made extra special by our wonderful guide Lina Duseviciene who shared with us her family´s history and their and her own experience of the Soviet era. This brought us closer to the people of these countries while we cycled through the beautiful forest and scenery. Not to forget our driver Edvardus who entertained us with music while driving between locations. I would like to mention that the hotel we stayed in in Tallin had a really bad or no air-conditioning.

Fabulous views, beautiful coastline.

Challenging and enjoyable walks rewarded with spectacular views across the Amalfi coastline.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the summit of Monte Tre Calli and seeing Positano and the coastline for the first time.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Martina Cipolia has an outgoing personality and is very passionate about hiking, the Amalfi coast region and Italy in general. She set the hiking pace at a level where everyone could keep up. There were plenty of opportunities for taking photographs. On our free day she organised for our transport to Herculaneum.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The Exodus website mentions bringing water bottles. If you are taking this trip in the summer months it is recommended you bring water bottles which can hold 2 litres.

Magnificent Morocco

What an exciting adventure my trip to Morocco was with nearly everyday a new city/town to visit in just over two week period. I thoroughly enjoyed the culture past and present, the historical buildings, the vast landscape and the many people along the way.

Most Inspirational Moment

The fact that I got on and managed to stay and hold on for a camel ride of 1 1/2 hours to our Sahara camp. Seriously, the late afternoon, early evening thunderstorm in the Sahara desert was a wonderful sight to behold and one I won't forget. The next morning the shades of the orange sand with the different levels of moisture from the rain overnight were truly beautiful.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mohammed was a good leader for our trip. He was well organized and phoned ahead for our meals and reservations in advance. He was very knowledgeable about the places we went to and he also subcontracted to local guides so we got a more personable experience. On several occasions, he purchased extra water to supplement our supply, which was of great benefit. I particularly enjoyed the personal touches he made by our group having dinner with a local family and tea with other families in other towns, so we got an up close personal feel to our trip, which made it very memorable.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would like to recommend to potential travelers that they purchase and drink plenty of water to keep hydrated while on the trip as the temperature in Morocco was anywhere from 35-42 degrees in August. Wear a floppy hat and definitely apply sun cream regularly too.

Glorious Countryside

We rode through glorious towns and countryside with plenty of opportunities to take photographs.

Most Inspirational Moment

I really enjoyed the company of the other riders. I am so glad I took this trip instead of a self-guided trip.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jon Hobson is very easy to get along with and to talk about anything we want. He took good care of us, riding at a good pace, stopping frequently for us to regroup and to refill our water bottles. At lunch and dinner time he provided us with great suggestions on places to eat.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would suggest you have a good fitness level as there are some hills which are hard to ride up.

Fantastic Ride Through Towns and Countryside

The ride was at a good pace, not too fast and not too slow. We passed through beautiful towns and countryside and there was ample opportunities to take photographs.

Most Inspirational Moment

The icing on the cake for this ride was how much I enjoyed the company of the other riders on this trip. I think I was just as sore from laughing so much as my legs were from riding.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Martino Falsini took good care of us, keeping the ride at a good pace so we weren't too far spaced out, stopping frequently to regroup and to refill our water bottles. He provided us with commentary on many of the towns we passed through.

A magical combination of landscapes and wildlife

Thinking that a camping safari in the desert is not for you? Think again! This holiday combines stunning landscapes and encounters with a huge variety of wildlife, from elephants, black rhino. big cats, zebra, giraffes to an amazing number of bird species. All these can be seen from the comfort of your safari vehicle, with all members of the group in their own window seat. Your guide, who has an an encyclopaedic knowledge of the wildlife, also knows where to have the best chance of seeing the more elusive animals. In many areas, you will not see another safari vehicle all day!
As for the camping, what could be more luxurious than arriving at the campsite to find your tent already erected (complete with comfortable camp bed and warm duvet), dining table in place, complete with table cloth and candles, a cup of tea and a hot shower awaiting you and a delicious dinner being cooked on an open fire? Bliss!

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing a mother and calf black rhino followed soon after by the sight of a heavily pregnant female. Watch a female cheetah and her two cubs playing in a tree.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader, Hans, could not have been better. His knowledge of the wildlife, his navigational skills in the more featureless areas, together with his faultless driving, sometimes for long distances, to say nothing of his cooking abilities, made him the ideal guide!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take warm clothing for the evenings and a good camera to bring back memories of what will be an unforgettable holiday.
