An amazing tour led by an amazing guide (Dana); saw gorgeous scenery and beautiful, historic towns/villages/cities; great food and company all the way. Only improvement would be more time to spend in each place!!!
Cycling along a cycle path along the Danube in Hungary with flower blossom drifting in the air like snowflakes.
Utterly fantastic - inspirational for women of all ages. She was patient, and did everything with good humour and professionalism.
Do it! If you like to cycle and discover the beauty of middle Europe under the guidance of a fantastic guide then this is the tour for you.
My husband has already done a review and i echo his thoughts. i did find this the most challenging of the walking holidays we have done. We have previously been to Croatia, Turkey (Cappadocia) Picos de Europa, The Dolomites and Slovenia.
The views were wonderful and the food was outstanding. Sarah and Rich were just great hosts.
The paths were fine and the journeys to and from the walks easy. It was lovely being walking distance from Chamonix.
The views of Mont Blanc and the abundance of wildflowers. The trip on our day off to the glacier was most interesting.
Excellent. He made sure we kept together as a group and altered the walks where necessary.
As I said, this was the most challenging and just take your time up the steep hills! We were quite a fast group, but we all managed to keep pace.
We had an amazing time walking and sampling wines that we had never tried before but are now fans of. Our leader Liz Proctor was excellent, knowledgeable, tirelessly helpful and made our first walking holiday a pleasure. The villa Casalta was rustic and beautiful. The only problem that we had was the plumbing in room 22. The shower diverter was broken. we reported it and they said yes it is broken and did not fix it, also no hot water in the evening after a long day walking. This needs to be rectified. Meals were good apart from the first night where the main course was a sla b of cold pork with gravy!
The country side and the walks.
Liz was amazing, looking after everyone checking people were ok on the walks bringing out treats along the way. She arranged for a cake and bottle of wine for my wife’s birthday which was a lovely thought.
The walks are at a pace where most people would be comfortable with.
Really enjoyed the trip as nothing was too much trouble for Liz our leader. The pace was leisurely throughout but thought the terrain warranted a grade of more 2-3 as very hilly at times, and sometimes hard for even for experienced walkers in our group. This should be included in the description/information of the trip details so other walkers are aware. The farmhouse was lovely and very rustic. Food was excellent and three courses for dinner! The only criticism is the showers – they were not hot and after a long day walking and travelling, you definately need a hot shower. Overall, I would definately recommend Exodus.
Definately the scenery. Tuscany was very beautiful.
Liz was exceptional and nothing too much trouble.
Any future travellers should be used to walking up and down very steep hills and in the heat.
good walking. great company. we had lovely weather although it does rain a lot.
Swimming in Lake Bled and everyone making it to the top of the mountain on the last day. Priceless!
Budgie and Alex were excellent. very experienced walkers. gave us all a lot of confidence in their ability to lead the group and keep everyone safe. there were also a lot of laughs. great skill at helping group to gel ad get the best out of everyone regardless of their ability. We also had lessons on the geography, history, politics and culture of Slovenia. immensely enjoyable and very interesting.
get yourself fit so that you get the most out of the walking. and bring a swimming costume.
An excellent trip, very full on but really interesting. Although the trip notes state that the trip is ‘moderate’ I would say it was more energetic than moderate. Lots of climbing and walking
Camping in the Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum
Excellent
June is exceedingly hot, go in March/April/May to avoid the heat
A first rate holiday with some great walks and time to relax over some fine lunches in places I would not have found on my own. The hotel was a very peasant family run place and the food delicious. This was our first guided group walking holiday and I intend to do another, quite probably with Exodus, who I thought were great from the first booking call to the holiday itself.
The scenery was absolutely wonderful and I enjoyed the company of the group.
The group leader Severio was excellent. He was well organised, knowledgeable and really led the group up in a nice friendly way. He went the extra mile by doing things like in organising walks/trips for us our day off and the final Saturday.
There is little preparation needed as Exodus take care of you all week. The walking is moderate as the brochure/website suggests. I see in the comments that much is made of steps! There are steps but they do not spoil the walking and frankly are the only practical way of reaching the coast from the village where we stayed.
Everything was very good except the hotel near Encumeada which was expensive,had very poor staff, and no acoustic attenuation between rooms. In short wholly unsatisfactory.
For this reason Exodus does not get an Excellent rating
The mountains
Very good
One of the walks is very hard
This was an excellent well planned tour. I found the pace busy but not overly strenuos or hectic. You have plenty of variety, Mt Etna seaside towns and harbours, quaint old towns as well as the ancient sites. What made this trip so good was the guide, Vanessa,, who often went the extra mile to help the group, and the group itself, 15 very different people who got on well. We stayed on for 4 nights after the end of the tour for rest and relaxation near Taormina and this was certainly the right decision. Taormina itself is very crowded and touristy with the side streets and the public gardens offering a welcome relief. Palermo was the best big city with plenty of character.
The drive up to the hilltop village of Erice plus the stay at the farmhouse.
Vanessa was one of the best, if not the best, tour leader I have travelled with. She had excellent English having lived in Dublin for eight years. She was extremely well informed and organised. She often went out of her way to help the group or individuals. For example we had independently booked a hotel at the end of the tour. Not only did she drop us off but checked the booking before we arrived and arranged for hotel staff to meet us at the end of the drive to the hotel. She was always cheerful and fun.
Be be prepared for some long bus journeys and quite a busy pace. Don’t worry overmuch about the walks. Our group managed both walks without any issues but good walking shows are essential for the Etna walk. Consider staying on after the tour but not at the tour hotel.
Great combination of sightseeing, excursions, walking and activities in Puglia.
Trullo hotel in Alberobello was lovely; Matera was fascinating - luxurious cave-dwelling.
Barbara was really excellent - efficient, knowledgeable and friendly.
No need for hiking boots, but bring sturdy sensible footwear for the walking. Some rough tracks and cobblestones involved.
