We enjoyed this holiday immensely. It gave us an insight into a beautiful country and its people, history, geography and development. Much of this was made posible by an exceptional leder,Ruwan Balasooriya who managed to combine organisational skills and knowledge with a pleasing sense of humour. Walking companions proved good company and generally accommodation, travel and food were up to expectations. It was one of our best-ever holidays.
Glencairn tea plantation - its location, general ambience, including winderful views Trek to Horton Plains and World End Visit to a 'tsunami' family Views too many to mention
Exceptional. See above. We were a group but he found time for us as individuals.
Exodus covered the ground well enough
India Coast to Coast on a bike is the way to go. The people in the countryside were so lovely, friendly and their big smiles really made my day. This is a great way to see a country and meet the people. The best food was always the little hole in the wall places along the bike route. We stayed at some incredible places, especially in the countryside.
The people! The people waving at me with a big smile, there is nothing like that!!
All of the staff were great! We had a leader in the front and another guide at the back of the bike riders and then two vans..one in the front, one in the back and they were there for us every step of the way making sure that we were having a good time.
Most days were 60 miles or 80 K, so be in shape for it.
Wow! What a trip. Everything I hoped for and a little bit more. Can’t believe how much we packed in. Can’t believe I got into bird watching (or sighting really). Can’t believe I was so willing to rise at unearthly hours.
Going to sleep to the choral sounds of the rainforest. Waking to find we had our very own house bat!
Erick was passionate and emotional about his country. He had fun with us. He educated us and he fed us exotic treats.
Mosquitoes are a reality. Laundry services are very good value and free at Drakes Bay. Jade museum in San Jose is impressive and right next door to a great market. Horse riding at Savegre is really good value. Don't bother with local currency. Stick with dollars.
An interesting cultural journey, with highs (Halong Bay, Angkor Wat) and lows (life-threatening dashes through frenetic traffic to cross roads in Hanoi and Saigon).
The preparations for Tet were lovely to see; the elephant ear fish in the Mekong Delta was fantastic. Halong Bay was stunning, and offered a sense of mystery in the cloud and rain. The cooking lesson in Hoi An was excellent. The lanterns lighting the town were gorgeous. The War Remnants Museum in Saigon, and the Cu Chi Tunnels, were grim reminders of an illegal war, from which Vietnam continues to suffer horrific effects. Angkor Wat was amazing - I wish we could have spent longer there.
Hoc was very knowledgeable, but at times we were very rushed to see and do everything on the schedule. Unfortunately, we did not have an opportunity to visit My Son - I assume due to time constraints. Toneth (for Angkor Wat) was also very informative.
Take an overnight bag - you will need it for Halong Bay and for the Mekong Delta (maybe this could be added to the trip notes?). If you like to leave contact details with family, check with Exodus - three of the four hotels listed in the trip notes had changed, and the Mekong Delta hotel was missing.
You exceeded my expectations for this trip. Everything was handled smoothly and well. We had a variety of accommodations, some Obviously better than others, the the owners of the casas we stayed in were very accommodating and made up for in kindness what they may have lacked in amenities. We had a variety of tours and th MOST DELIGHTFUL tour leader whose memory for dates and details was beyond compare. He was also encouraging and supportive for those including myself who struggled on a couple of rides. (Due to my lack of cycling ability). I believe the rides were exactly what I expected…challenging for me but not beyond my capabilities…..although there were a few times I questioned that!!!! The drivers were kind and funny. When I mentioned we really liked pineapple…Alexis went and got more! The rooms varied a lot in each hotel and I noted that everyone had “the best room” at least once….I have to think that was intentional….it was the extra little touch that made this trip so truly memorable and special. I am already looking at my next Exodus cycling trip! I would highly recommend it!
My personal a I.ity to do this...alone. I had worried that going by myself may be challenging but a group comraderie developed fast...I am sure this was encouraged by your staff.
FANTASTIC! Personal le smart funny and professional. His handling of the medical condition of one of the group was excellent. It was a terrible unavailable situation...but I do no think he could have done more.
Be prepared to cycle....I knew I could do 60km.....if I tried....but I did not expect to do it so fast...but I did do it..and I felt that I had achieved something. Bring pens and sweets to give to the kids you see along the way. Bring older clothes you. Could donate at the end of the trip if you want to...so many in Cuba would love to have what you don't want!
What an amazing holiday we had. Thanh our guide had expert knowledge about every aspect of our trip and of every place we visited. The trip was very organised from every transfer, every type of transport, minibus, train, bike, kayak and plane all went off without a hitch. Thanh was also very good at keeping a large group together and in the right lace at the right time. From the wet humid north to the dry humid south Vietnam is a fascinating place with friendly – mostly happy people who live on next to nothing. Very humbling.
Watching hardworking people just get on with heavy manually labour intensive work in basic conditions without complaining.
As above very knowledgable friendly and organised
Buy a silk sleeping bag! Be prepared for lots of packing and unpacking and a packed non stop trip.
A packed itinerary, a great tour of the country- experiencing micro climates- differing landscapes- wonderful national parks and wildlife.
Each of the national parks were unique!!
Antonio was a fabulous leader - with vast knowledge of the wildlife and country.
Rainforest is what it says!! Take your poncho! A great variety of micro climates - from fleece to bathing costume in one day!! Camera is a must!
Great way to get a flavour of the three countries. The trip was well organised, great guide and support team – Andres, Paul, Ronald and Alvaro. Good bikes in Costa Rica and Panama, okay in Nicatagua. If I could change one thing, I’d have brought my own saddle. Some challenging hilly rides but also well organised technical/food stops. Excellent extra activities like a night volcano trip in Nicaragua, boat will life spotting trip in Costa Rica and Miraflores locks visit in Panama. Good internary, we’ve visited some cool and beautiful places, however two nights in La Fortuna was one night too many, and two nights in Panama City was one night too many. Otherwise a fantastic trip.
Visiting Masaya volcano in Nicaragua, seeing sloths in the wild in Costa Rica and unspoiled, empty beach in Panama.
Very well organised, engaged, funny and knowledgeable.
Bring your own saddle, waterproofs and well padded shorts.
I arrived to Airport with my family, the rental agent of this company https://travelcar.am/rent-a-car-in-yerevan met us and guided to the car, so we started the trip.
Tatev Monastery. Breathtaking view.
Amazing guy!
Visit Tatev, it's AMAZING.
A wonderful mix of mountains, lakes, glaciers, wildlife, vast landscapes, huge steaks and friendly people. This was the fulfilment of a long-held dream, made very special by our brilliant guide, Xavier. The climbs to Fitzroy and to the Torres del Paine are fairly demanding, but well within the capacity of anyone experienced with walking in the Lake District or Snowdonia. Regrets? If only we could have stayed longer in El Chalten and Torres del Paine – but this is a ‘highlights’ trip.
There were many! Sunrise on Fitzroy; walking on the Viedma Glacier (don't be put off by warnings of a difficult approach- it's very well supervised and very well worth doing); the 'wild frontier' feel of El Chalten; the remoteness of Ushuaia and the Beagle Channel...... Pretty much the whole trip is inspirational. And we were so lucky with the weather.
Brilliant. Xavier is informative, funny, hard-working and attentive. Excellent inter-personal skills.
Some details in the trip notes are awry: The optional boat trip from El Calafate to see icebergs and glaciers does not include a visit to the Perito Moreno glacier. There is an over-emphasis on taking dollars - we could have paid for pretty much all of it in pesos. The dollar costs of options are rather out-of-date - they cost quite a bit more. On reading previous reviews it's clear that some travellers need to take on board that this trip does involve two long walking days that cover rough, steep terrain - be prepared!
