this holiday exceeded all of my expectations
there were too many to name just one .
our group leader jenny lu was top class she never failed us and with a group of fifteen treated everyone with respect ,and went above and beyond her duties i cannot speak highly enough of her.
if you are hesitating about this holiday go for it ,but be prepared as it is full on.
A great 6 days cycling and eating in a very picturesque and quiet region of Sicily, First day was full on but days did get easier although some long climbs. Some fantastic views and towns visited.
Descending through countless hairpins on last but one day.
Paolo was a character and kept us safe throughout the week but could have been more informative if his English was to improve.
We stayed a couple of days before in Taormina to see Etna and a couple of days after in Syracuse as there are many sights to see there.
Tour leader, Milanda and driver could not have been better
Loved Sicily and our guide brought the Island and its’ history alive with her vast knowledge and infectious enthusiasm
She is warm, compassionate and very caring of her groups well being
Hotels… good locations… some beds below standard

Overall, a great week of cycling. There were two big unknowns for me going into this adventure: 1) How difficult would the cycling be, and 2) How safe would I feel cycling through rural Morocco. The cycling was breathtakingly beautiful but not hard if you consider yourself a cyclist. Most of the people in our group weren’t avid cyclists just relatively fit people looking for some adventure. If you do consider yourself a cyclist and rack up 100-200km or more per week, then look for something higher than “4” on the Exodus challenge meeter. That said, the rides were amazing with some good climbs and even better ‘white knuckle’ descents. The part about safety in Morocco? Don’t sweat it. I never felt any concern for safety and the whole trip was supported by an experienced Exodus leader and two local chaps riding vans in front and in the back. All good on that front.
On the second day there was a 30km long descent. It was mind boggling and just kept going on and on. I've never seen anything like that before and likely never will again. Truly amazing. Dinner with the group each night getting to know others from around the world was very fulfilling as well.
Our group leader was an English chap named Jon H. He was simply amazing. He tended to everyone's needs with patience and a kind heart. A remarkable person that kept us all alive during one of the hottest weeks ever. I can't say enough about Jon's ability to guide such a diverse group of people through an amazing adventure. Kudo's to Exodus for finding talent like this.
Bring water bottles, cycling shorts and some travellers laundry soap. Your will need to wash your kit on your own.
We will remember the comaradery on the trail, the different accommodation every night.
When the priest in Leon cathedral blessed us before we started walking, he was very personal to us all.
We did not have a group leader it was self guided. The notes were not always adequate.
If you can have local maps.

My wife & I went to Nepal with Exodus in March this year & had a fantastic time! As the ‘Annapurna in Luxury’ group tour didn’t exactly meet our needs -we wanted to do water rafting & an elephant experience in Chitwan – SHARMIL at Exodus created a personal itinerary for us. The holiday was great – superb trekking in the Annapurna region, water rafting down the SETI river , various activities in the Chitwan National Park plus a fascinating day in Kathmandu!
All Exodus staff were excellent but a special mention to BIKASH – our guide for 5 days of trekking. BIKASH was an outstanding guide/walk leader – he took us on less obvious/well known routes, adjusted the pace to suit our needs (not fast but not slow – taking account of my ‘dodgy knee’ etc) & encouraged us when we got a bit tired. A very talented Guide/Trekking Leader that we highly recommend !
Thanks for a superb experience !

Trekking through villages in the Annapurna range.
As above - BIKASH was an outstanding leader !
Get to a reasonable level of fitness. Invest in pro biotic tablets & hand gel etc - we did so & had no health issues. The road journey to & from Chitwan is very long & busy - as the 'motorway' is not yet finished.dKW

The sites we visited were fascinating, the accommodation was satisfactory, the guide was knowledgeable and the driver was good.
Some of the remarkable archaeology sites, eg the doric temple at Segesta, and the cathedral at Monreale.
Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.
This was an especially interesting and enjoyable trip, thanks to a well-balanced itinerary, accommodation and transport that was well above average, and superb management on the part of our Tour Leader, Giuseppe. It proved also to be an excellent time of year to visit, with the countryside at its most attractive (green & productive) and the climate relatively fresh.
The most spectacular part of the trip involved learning about the history of the city of Matera, and appreciating its geological setting.
We have completed many trips with Exodus and other companies operating on similar lines. We have learned that the qualities of the Group Leader influence the success or failure of a trip to an enormous extent. Giuseppe proved to be one of the very best Leaders we have known. His concern to explain & illustrate the culture of his native province was quite exceptional, as were the lengths to which he was prepared to go to ensure that we experienced the full breadth of the local cuisine and wines - notably in the middle of the day when he regularly prepared a wonderful lunch for our party of 16 - complete with coffee, mint tea, or - most memorably - a polystyrene cup of Primitivo.
Be prepared for climbing a lot of steps in Matera (as it's a very hilly city), and don't imagine that a 10km walk is too short for a good walker (the heat of the sun makes even a short walk quite taxing - even in mid-May).
This was a nice close up look at the heel of Italy. Lots of historic context alongside regional cuisine, great local wines, and beautiful countryside. We had a great group of 11 like-minded travellers and had a lot of fun.
Trying out the local cuisine was a highlight, especially all the amazing appetizers.
Marcella was great! She spent time with us even when she didn't have to and always made sure we were taken care of.
Bring good walking shoes. The walks are longer and a bit more challenging than they sound in the trip description, and take place in the heat of the day.
