Great Group, fantastic guide/leader, brilliant walking routes, lovely accommodation in a stunning location, marvellous catering by Sarah and Richard and great driving to the trail heads every morning by the same catering team.
Walk from Merlet to Aiguillettte des Houches via the Refuge de Bel Lachat. Walk in theVal de Ferret via the refuge W.Bonatti.
Jeffry Oonk was absolutely excellent with vast outdoor experience and extensive botanical knowledge.
This is the first time my wife and I had visited China and felt that it was important to make the trip with a company who knew their way around the country. Exodus excelled at that and our tour guide, Alan Liu, (Hongbin Liu), played such a vital part in making the trip enjoyable.
There were so many things. There were the most famous iconic things such as the Great Wall, the Terracotta Soldiers, the Pandas at Chengdhu etc but the scenery in the countryside is breathtaking and outstanding.
Our tour guide, Alan Liu, (Hongbin Liu), was inspirational. Without a doubt, all members of our group were in one voice when we say that without Alan the trip would not have had the same impact on us. He was so knowledgeable, nothing phased him, he was well organised and his sense of humour was second to none. Most importantly, he cared for the people he was responsible for on the trip If I were to make another journey to China I simply would not want to go with any other Tour Leader than Alan.
The rating for this trip is "Leisurely". Most in the group thought it a little more strenuous than leisurely. There is so much travelling due to the vast size of China and there were three overnight sleeper train journeys which sometimes required a very early morning start that left you feeling somewhat tired on arrival at your next destination. Be prepared for lots of crowds in towns and market areas, and also be aware of the traffic. It is manic. Don't for one minute think you are safe using a zebra crossing as cars and motor bikes assume that it is a target area for aiming at tourists.
The only problem I have with waking in Norway was the tracks .
They are in a state of great repair . Ground in places need to be leveled out . Some rocks need to be removed .
New soil needs to be placed down in most places.

He was very good no issues

Apart from hiking there is a big emphasis on getting to know the history of the area, which I really appreciated. Bosnia is a beautiful and friendly country and you will enjoy getting to know it better. We found local people really keen to talk, even if we didn’t share many words. We enjoyed really perfect weather.
For me, by far, was the rafting. A glorious day, peaceful and a little bit different. Working as a team was fun. I enjoyed the walks and the city tours too. We enjoyed eating out in the evening with the group. The town at the top of the hill was very interesting and I enjoyed talking to the people who lived there.
He was good, but he failed to keep the group together sufficiently during the hikes which was unfortunate. Other Exodus leaders worked harder to be inclusive. Other than that he was very nice, enthusiastic, well organised and informative.
Practice walking up hills. I used a much smaller pack than suggested which was just fine. The two star hotels are adequate - however we didn't always have hot water. Coffee is really important and generally delicious.
What a fabulous trip. Very well planned and times, lots to see and do, very active and varied. Be careful when going in August as the heat was,at times, a little too much, especially when exploring the cities and Volubilis. We stayed after the trip ended and took a trip to the Ouzoud waterfall, which would be a lovely addition to the trip.
Meeting the nomad family when hiking in Todra Gorge. You really feel like you get to know Morocco. The night in the desert is magical and the hike in the High Atlas Mountains is absolutely stunning.
Samir was extremely good. He was very informative, constantly adding in extras for our trip and he helped us out when we had a baggage issue and had to take a taxi from Fez to Casablanca to meet our luggage when it finally arrived!
Beware of the heat and the 'hairdryer wind!'
This was a great holiday. Well planned out. The walks were varied – and all with beautiful views. In the evenings, Suzy took us to some great restaurants. On the walk to Portofino we stopped off at a restaurant in the hills where the tomatoes for the caprese salad were plucked off the vine next to the restaurant – fantastic. The hotel was nice, and very close to the beach. The wine tasting, with somebody who was passionate about the wines of the region, was fascinating.
Walking down into Portofino.
Suzy was great. Was knowledgeable about the region. Everything was well organised and when changes needed to be made at the last minute she was able to figure out alternate arrangements quickly.
The walks varied in difficulty, with the first day definitely the hardest. There were some very steep extended descents - poles definitely came in handy on that first day, as well as when we descended from Montallegro to Chiavari. The walks in the Cinque Terre were great, although there was not a lot of time in the villages themselves. However, you can easily use the free day to spend more time in them, as well as in Portovenere - the boat trip out is recommended. Food is expensive - especially the restaurants we went to in the evenings, so be prepared... Also, just a note that the trip notes mention the Via Dell'Amore. Unfortunately, this has been closed since 2011 as a result of a landslide, and doesn't appear to be reopening anytime soon because of bickering over who will pay to repair it, so we did not get to do it. This was not a major loss since all the other walking was great, but something that Exodus might want to change in the trip notes.
Interesting walks over mixed terrain, all with spectacular views.
Every day had different highlights, but I enjoyed Pompeii, having waited years to visit, a very windy walk up and down Vesuvius and the walk from Ravello with the lemon groves, national park waterfalls and old papermills.
Severio was fantastic, very knowledgeable and ensured everyone had a good time and the walking was paced accordingly. He had lots of anecdotes, and found flexibility in the itinerary to ensure we had the best experience possible. He was very much part of our group as well as our leader
The walks are challenging in parts, so on a couple of days at least I would recommend walking boots. Other days walking shoes or good trainers are fine. We had quite a bit of cloud and heavy rain so a decent waterproof jacket is a must. I found a camelbak water system useful, as when hot it's very hot! Take a jumper or two as the evenings can be chilly in September! I carried a DSLR camera, heavy, but worth it for the fab photos I took.
This is a very busy trip packed with sightseeing and travelling. There is a fair amount of walking most days although not hard pace or terrain can involve a lot of stairs. Wonderful trip.
Hard to say - seeing lots of baby pandas, standing on great wall of china, beautiful day out in Yangshuo, Chinese cooking.
Excellent. Good humoured and good at keeping group together. Informative and very positive about China. Good choice of restaurants and food suggestions.
This is a very busy trip. Have a few days rest before going back to work. There is a lot of walking - more than 10000 steps daily except for days on cruise. The 3 overnight train journeys are hard going and not particularly comfortable. The sheets do not appear to get changed- I would take a sheet sleeping back if doing this again. The staff came to make up beds on the second train - this involved folding duvets and putting them back on the beds - no change of sheets.
Lovely area, great food, warm hospitality, good weather. What more could you ask for.
No stand out moments for me, it was fantastic from the moment I arrived to the moment I left.
Sara was inspirational, hard working, had lots of funny stories, a font of knowledge. I've done a few Exodus holidays now and I've generally found Exodus leaders to be really good. However, Sara raised the bar to a whole new level. I particularly liked the way she guided the walks from the back where possibly which allowed everyone to go at their own pace.
Go for it.
This was one of the very best walking group holidays that I have been on. I could not fault any part of the trip.
Walking in the beautiful mountains of Garfagnana and returning each afternoon to swim in the pool of idyllic Braccicorti.
Sara is the most competant group leader I have ever travelled with. She goes far beyond the call of duty to see that everyone is safe in the mountains and having the best holiday possible.
