A wonderful whistle stop tour of beautiful and vibrant Vietnam. A very varied itinerary in a country with a fascinating history and culture, fantastic food and drink and amazing landscapes. The Vietnamese were so hospitable and kind .It was my best holiday yet- I loved it all.
Exploring Hanoi and Saigon Halong Bay Cycling through paddy fields and past water buffalo and egrets
The guide was very professional and conscientious and his passion for his country was infectious.
Be prepared for a very busy holiday.
Just like previous Exodus trips everything was done to make our trip special.
Walking in the Western Ghats, truly a magnificant experience.
For a great holiday you need a great product and India has such a diverse offering and in order to be able to get the most from your experience you a good team of people to support the many needs of a diverse group of people, this we had in abundance. All of this needs a great leader and in Santosh Kumar we had one of the best and his organisational skills cemented the whole trip together. Added to this his knowledge and enthusiasm make him an exceptional guide who went out of his way to find extra added attractions during our days of travel. During our visit the Indian government made the decision to withdraw all 500 and 1000 rupee notes causing national chaos but Santosh took this all in his stride without any negative impact on our trip.
Bring some Gin, after two weeks and our case three we got fed up of inferior wine and bored with beer.
The trip ‘A Week in Jordan’ is an experience that can leave even the most literate and verbally gifted (‘gobby’) at a loss for the right words to describe it.
I was part of a 20-strong group that seemed to get on unusually well. There were some seriously seasoned travellers amongst us, yet we all came to the same conclusions, the same thoughts: time and again the destinations proved to be far larger and far grander than we had imagined.
Jerash (an introductory diversion I believed) turned out to be a wonder in itself. Huge in expanse, so intricately detailed in parts, and as yet still so unexplored.
In the West the word ‘Biblical’ is often used to describe something enormously significant – in Jordan ‘Biblical’ sites are dotted all around – like puzzle clues to a hidden image too big for the mind to grasp. The landscape becomes more than background. It becomes a fiery crucible on which you can imagine humans struggling and suffering just to stay alive through key moments in History. This is a land that does not seem ‘tamed’ by humans. I suspect this quality is a factor in why so many of the world religions have had their genesis nearby?
But that’s enough of the florid prose. Let us skip to the star of the show: Petra.
No images, no movie scenes (and there have been many) could ever capture the mind-blowing scale of this site. The famous ‘Treasury’ (as seen in Indiana Jones, Sinbad, The Mummy etc.) is just a particularly pretty door… that leads into a house of ancient wonders. The two days spent here are a lifetime investment.

Zuhair is (officially) the 8th Modern Wonder of the World.
1) Bring a sleeping bag ig going late in season to Wadi Rum (I stupidly did not, and died of cold). People cried. 2) Learn a handful of phrases (Thankyou etc.) - Jordanians are much more into politeness than most. 3) Try to convince yourself that you LOVE the 4.30 alarm call. Then go back to bed.
I booked this once in a lifetime experience with Exodus in the hope it guaranteed quality and they didn’t let me down. Our leader, guides and group were phenomenal. The walking was a little easier than I imagined and the scenery more spectacular, BUT dial down your expectations of the tea houses…they were variable. Some were totally fine, but a couple were barely heated. If you are hardy enough to put up with cold mornings and nights, book this trip without hesitation. I personally had no problems with altitude sickness and I didn’t take pills – much of the credit for that must go to the excellent pacing of the guides. It’s necessary, but the acclimatisation does drag the walking out over a lot of days and the way down is a literal anticlimax. That said, everyone should make this journey at least once in their lives.
The top of Kalla Pattar + the Khumbu icefall + Tengboche (spell check?!)
Fun, friendly, faultless. Team Tenzi!
Pack plenty of warm clothing in the winter. It was colder than I expected at the higher altitudes. Oh and LOTS of chocolate!!
Brilliant captivating exciting and hectic.
Wandering around the ancient temple ruins of Angkor Wat in awe at such an ancient civilisation.
Thanh was a very knowledgeable and inspirational group leader obviously extremely proud of Vietnam his beautiful country.
Make sure you try the popped rice in the Mekong Delta.
PtkkrBoth countries were great value.Laos is a country at the crossroads of the direction it follows.The influence of China is self evident and sad.Im grateful to see Laos as it is and not what it may become.
I think the Mekong River it was an incredible day finished by going to a huge local wedding that night Also one of the group who overcame difficulties that many people would not or could not.Always happy always supportive Made me accept the need to succeed and work at finishing each day
They were what one would expect and did the job to a good level in both countries Both guides were attentive and caring Thank you
Ride at your own pace and leave a little in reserve.If u like to descend at a frantic pace allow a little caution potholes are a curse as are some of the chinese trucks and cars not to mention odd domestic animals or small children.Otherwise great fun
Had the time of my life on the trek to Base Camp. Yes, it’s hard, altitude sickness can hit anyone no matter their fitness levels, but it’s also so beautiful and rewarding!
I went with Exodus because of the reputation and other reviews on here, which are pretty accurate.
Or guides were first class, all local Nepalese people who knew the lodges and terrain inside out. They were funny, kind, caring and helpful.
I couldn’t have asked for much more, they well and truly delivered – most of the time the pace was good, and the would tell us what to expect in terms of each day’s trek.
Take lots of warm clothes though! It can be FREEZING at night!
Getting ti Base Camp and the top of Kala Patthar! It's the coldest I've been in my life but we made it, and the views were stunning. Seeing the determination in the characters in our group! This trek will test you to your limits!
Tenzi is at once hilarious and organised! He always made sure we had our food, eventually memorising how many black teas/toast omelettes to order for the morning! And he has the most contagious laugh! I will miss him! Eik dum pataa!!!! Khusman, our other guide, was so professional, and led the group at an excellent pace! He helped us get whatever we needed, was punctual, and such a great leader when he led from the front. When one of our group got sick, he led them back down to lower altitude by himself. When it was -9 and we were making our ascent up Kala Patthar, Khusman was the one who led us all the way to the top, allowing rests, a good pace, and kept us moving when we were exhausted. He is also a fine dancer! Apparently Khusman and Tenzi have only worked together once before, which is a shame because they make an excellent team along with the other two. It would be good if Exodus kept guides together over multiple trips. Both he and Tenzi
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH WARM CLOTHES AND BROKEN IN TREKKING BOOTS!
Excellent holiday Loved it
Haiphong Bay
excellent
no
A great trip, full of wildlife. Quite different from the other Exodus trips we’ve taken to South East Asia. Costa Rica is doing well in promoting eco-tourism and deserves a lot of credit. As usual we had an excellent guide.
Waking to the sound of howler monkeys.
A really good guy.
Think carefully about when to go. We thought the rainy season would be on its way out. We were wrong.
Nov 13 – Nov 27
Guide- Abdullah
Driver- Said
Driver was excellent and very accommodating. Also had a quirky side to him which was great. He was very personable. Thanks Said!
Guide was also great -very friendly and knowledgeable about the places we visited and the life of the people. I learned quite a bit of Berber and Arabic dialect. Thks Abdullah! Personally I don’t like long drives because it takes an entire day and it leaves nothing to do upon arrival at accommodations so maybe in the future the all day drives can be cut in half whereby we get settled in accommodation after lunch or before evening so we can have time to explore the area and shop for souvenirs than we can continue on after breakfast the next day. Also I think hotels/Riads would be better in an area where there’s easy foot access to get around. A couple of times it felt like lockdown upon arrival at accommodations because they were away from everything. And lastly I would have preferred a choice in accommodation; not talking about the dessert places. Overall it was a great trip with a terrific group of people who have given me memories I will treasure forever.
The place where the river/water divided Rabat and Salle. Think I spelled that correctly. Place was absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views from every angle. Thanks also to one of the residents who lead me up her tiny quaint staircase to her patio for a view access the waters.
Abdullah was very knowledgeable and accommodating but he doesn't stray from the trip notes. A little leniency would be great.
It's a great way to experience Morocco. I don't think I would have seen most of the places on my own. Hopefully they shorten the long drives as I've explained.
