A great holiday with memorable sights.
Petra was amazing and two days well spent.
Eddie was great.
Take toilet paper and imodium. You will need both. If you drink then take duty free with you. Drinking in Jordan is expensive and hard to find. Almost impossible during Ramadan. Good walking shoes for Petra. Hat is essential.
have been on quite a few cycle holidays with exodus and exp[;lore and always have given 5 or 4 star ratings, this time only 3 star. This was mainly down to the tour leader Demitreas who is a bit set in his ways. There was an unusual heat wave for that time of year and temps were up to 90degree . by midday. This would of been OK as they have you on the bikes by 8 am most mornings when its cooler. The problem was we would be only riding for a short distance, and then stop to see some really interesting ruin then a massive lunch spread laid on which is very nice.Consequently we would start off after all this food about 2pm. doing fairly difficult climbs and distance in the main heat of the day. I had numerous conversations with Demitreas with regard to changing the itinerary to suit the weather conditions but he was quite an arrogant chappy who was not prepared to compromise. OTHER than that the trip was pretty good with decent accommodation and a friendly group.It will not put me off on booking future trips.
The hotel; stay up in the mountains was fabulous,good food and very chilled
The group leader was a girl called Naovi who was absolutely lovely.,but as explained above Demitrias was calling all the shots and making all the decisions, I think he was training Naovi.Get rid of him and keep her.
A trip well worth taking. The amazing places we visited took our breath away at times. Even on the long travel days the views were spectacular making time fly.
Lake Titicaca and the reed islands
Sebastian was very good - a warm man with a good sense of humour. He was tested during our trip due to travellers becoming unwell. He still made sure everyone else was ok which was very professional. He is now trying to help me with some lost shopping in Cusco which I am very thankful for.
What to wear is tricky due to the forever changing climatic conditions. So be sure to pack layers!!
Booked this trip having previously been to Croatia and wanted to explore further. The trip was a great mix of walks, each with fabulous views followed by a refreshing dip in the sea and delicious food recommended by our guide Zeljko. There were also sightseeing oportunities in Dubrovnik and Split and a more relaxed stroll round the beautiful Krka waterfalls.
We were a small friendly group of four plus our guide. There were lots of opportunities to chat with Zeljko about the walks, history and culture of his country. We also visited some local people for some grappa and figs.
Travel between places was very well organised and we stayed in good accomodation in each place.
As a vegetarian I was well looked after. Great food everywhere with Zeljko going out of his way to make sure I ate well.
The views from the summits, particularly the Paklenica walks. Lunch at the mountain hut with spectacular views.
Fantastic. Warm, friendly and knowledgeable. On the long walks when it was really hot Zeljko made sure we all drank enough water (even providing extra when I didn't take enough on the first walk) and found shade for short breaks. Great company for the week.
Don't hesitate to book this trip. Croatia is a beautiful country and you get to see lots of fantastic places.
Eager to catch a glimpse of life in Madagascar from a cyclists perspective I was not disappointed. The terrain and scenery changed as we progressed from Antananarivo to the south and the roadside picnic lunches were great. The roads were fine for cycling despite a large number of pot holes in some places and all the hotels were comfortable and welcoming. The people were also very friendly, I certainly never felt under threat. With the help of Armel, our guide, I gained some valuable insight into life within Madagascar. It was certainly a very worthwhile experience.
For me there were 4 particularly inspirational moments/events: 1) seeing lemurs in both the lemur park and in the wild; 2) the walk across the rocks up into the hills/mountains; 3) the visit to a "typical" dwelling together with a brief description of how the family lived; 4) the unspoiled beach and shoreline at Ifaty.
Armel was excellent, always cheery, humorous and well informed. He was also keen to give me/us a glimpse of Madagascan culture in so far as that was possible.
In early morning and evening it is quite cold so a fleece or two and other layers are important. The walk in the rain forest certainly requires a descent pair if walking shoes/boots.
A great trip with a full itinerary, a fascinating insight into Jordan.
Being able to spend two days in Petra and explore the site.
Eddie was helpful charming and very kind. He ensured we had an enjoyable experience and was knowledgeable about his country. He was concerned to meet the needs of individuals as well as the group.
Be prepared for a beautiful but extremely arid country. The itinerary is pretty full-on, theer is not a lot of downtime on this trip and most mornings are early starts, because there is so much to see and do.
I loved this trip! We have seen a variety of places and we have learnt learn so much about the Japanese culture.
Overall this trip is well organised and I thing that there is a good balance between free and organised time.
I really enjoyed staying at the ryokans, the meals we had there and the onsen experience. The most memorable temple was Daishō-in on the island of Miyajima. The atmosphere was amazing and it felt very spiritual. I found the visit to Hiroshima and the Peace Memorial Park and Museum very touching It was great to be able to see the snow mountain monkeys and spot Mt Fuji from our hotel room window in Tokyo! I loved all the food that we have been able to try Last but not least I loved the kindness and the composure of the Japanese people, their respect towards other people and nature, the technology, the cleanliness ... In a nutshell, I will treasure every moment.
Misa is very organised, knowledgeable, kind and patient. She was very attentive and always made sure we were all right. She has given us very good tips of what to do in our free time. One evening, when she should have been free to rest, she has accompanied me and my husband to the district of Gion in Kyoto's as we had not been able to go with the rest of the group on the previous evening due to personal commitments. She also accompanied the group to Hakone for a day trip on her free day. She has definitively go out of her to ensure all the participants had a good time and has thought us a lot of the Japanese culture.
In our group there were people with very specific dietary needs. I think that they have found it a bit difficult at times to find the right food for them. People with special dietary needs (e.g. vegan, vegetarian, coeliac) might find it a bit challenging to find the right food for them at all times.
The days were much longer than we expected as the ride was graded at 2 which is about right for the type of cycling we experienced. On past trips we have arrived at the hotels between 3 and 5 giving time to shower, wash kit and get out to see around around the city before eating. With some of the transfers being long we often had little time to see the place we were staying in. This resulted in eating late and consequently not getting to bed until late.
Much of the cycling is on the flat and on narrow cycling lanes which was a bit boring at times.
With me it was eating smoked perch for my lunch on the beach. A first. Seeing a pied wagtail that was just about all white. Meeting a large primary school party of various ages that were celebrating the end of term with a three day cycling trip. All really enjoying them selves. Meeting the Danish Ambassador to Estonia with her official transport a bike.
Vaida was a very good leader. Gave us excellent information especially about the lengths of each day and each leg of cycling. She took us to excellent restaurants and all the food was good to excellent. I particularly liked receiving the maps each day and finding out where we were cycling from and too.
If you can, practice a few 20 milers on flat land.
This trip offers the chance to experience both a quiet rural part of Italy (Cilento) and then the hustle and excitement of the Amalfi coast. The trip was very well planned and executed throughout. It is physically tough in places with some long climbs and could be classed as a ‘4’ rather than ‘3’ but this makes it all the more rewarding. The scenery is breathtaking – especially in Amalfi. This, along with the exceptional Italian cuisine, and a couple of espressos keeps motivation and morale high and the miles effortlessly tick away.
Reaching the highest point along the Amalfi Coastal road and stopping to look back along the coast where we had cycled from.
Alessandro was extremely attentive, a fountain of knowledge and had a great sense of humour. He had some unique insights into Cilento - his local region where he also farms. He effortlessly managed to knit together a group with mixed levels of fittness.
The support van is never that far away and there is a small bag on the bike so there is no need to take a rucksack, pump tools etc. Just a water bottle (refilled from the van whenever required), small camera and wallet. I took SPDs and shoes which are great if you use them.
Great ride which was excellently managed by Alfonso. I had a fall and my cuts were attended to by Alfonso in a quick and efficient manner. He continued to check with me that all was okay which was very much appreciated.
Finishing. It was a much harder ride than I expected. Very fullfilling adventure.
Excellent
