Excellent mix of culture and walking
This week had it all treading a good balance between some culture and the lovely walking in the hills of northern cyprus. Our guide, Gizer, made the trip very relaxing giving us just the right amount of information at the right time so we were always aware of what to expect the next day. It was also very interesting to hear about the situation between northern cyprus and cyprus. I would definitely recommend this trip. The three meals that Gizer organised for the group were delicious.
A great overview of Japan
This is a really good tour. Starting in Kyoto where you visit a number of temples, then moving through the countryside to various locations, then to Hiroshima and finally to Tokyo for the modern part of the tour. By the end you get a really good sense of what Japan is. The group leader, Gary was excellent! With a few small tweaks with regards to some of the accommodation I’d have given 5 stars.
Most Inspirational Moment
The food and friendly Japanese people!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader Gary was the highlight of the tour. He was very knowledgeable and very efficient at organising groups.
Advice for Potential Travellers
You might have to sit on the floor to eat at one of the hotels. It's a great experience but you will struggle if you have stiff legs or knee's. Bring comfy walking shoes as you can be doing 20000 steps a day.
accurate
One of the best trips I have been on. We were blessed with good weather and the walking conditions were great. April is definitely the best time of year and the flowers were in full bloom. Fransisco was an excellent guide, friendly, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to be with. His local knowledge was invaluable and it was a pleasure to see the local crafts and artisanal trades. An extra bonus, not on the agenda was to his home town, Silves, on day 1. We walked to the old fort via the local market where we bought figs and almonds from his farm with Grandma doing the marketing. He gave good advice on local restaurants with possibly the best sea-food place in the region.
I would strongly recommend this trip with Fransisco

Wonderful trip to South Korea
Trip of a lifetime to a fascinating country. We were toured thoughtfully through large cities, historic sites and gorgeous natural locations throughout Korea.
Most Inspirational Moment
Listening to the Buddhist monks drumming at the Temple Stay.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Michelle Kim is one of the best leaders I have ever had the pleasure of touring with over many tours I have joined. She was so good at bringing the group together, sharing her knowledge of Korea whether it was history, locations or food. Michelle went out of her way to ensure we had great experiences throughout the tour including arranging meals for us to attend taking into account everyone's input. Just an outstanding individual to lead a tour.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for some rain, cool nights and managing stairs that may or may not have railings.
An very well organised tour which included so much in a week
Thanks to our very well organised leader Laura, we managed a complete tour of the island in a week. Greek, Roman and Norman sites told the rich history of Sicily. The trip to Mont Etna and the walk in the national park covered the beauty of the island. Our group was made up of lovely people which added to the fun
Most Inspirational Moment
The Greek and Roman temples and the magnificent cathedral in Montreale with Fabio our great guide were the highlights for me but Palermo was very interesting also
Thoughts on Group Leader
Laura was new to Exodus but certainly deserves her place in the team. She was well organised, knowledgeable, adaptable to weather conditions and above all so friendly and fun. Must mention Mario and Luigi our bus drivers, so friendly and helpful, specially Mario who covered most of the trip
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you go in April take layers and waterproof jacket as the weather is changeable. Good trainers for Mont Etna are also recommended
Great week hiking and tasting prosecco!
Rolling green hills covered in prosecco vines and wildflowers.

The holiday I didn't know I needed
A lovely itinerary, brilliant leader, really nice group, trip well paced and everything was so thoughtfully organised.
Most Inspirational Moment
There wasn't just one - the whole thing was great, riding without my sunglasses so I could enjoy the colour of the hills and think how lucky I am that I can do trips like this.
Thoughts on Group Leader
- Paolo is an excellent leader - He was calm and clear throughout - Our safety was paramount in his mind and he was always looking out for us - The organisation was excellent, always lovely lunches and dinners - a lot of that seemed down to the relationships Paolo in his network - Not only was he accomplished in the area of cycling, he is also clearly passionate about the history of the region and its impact on society - He also had great support staff such as Emilio and Raphaello
Advice for Potential Travellers
Some people ponder over the 3 / moderate rating - I think it's accurate as we took plenty of (needed) breaks to recharge. However there are plenty of hills and so inevitably there will be challenging moments. It was a really friendly group - ranging in age from 49 to 82 - and a mix of standard and e-bikes, so there was something for everyone.
Great trip
A really interesting trip with enjoyable walks, good company and a great leader.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were great views from the castles at the top of the mountains. A good reward for climbing steps.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Gizer was a great leader, organising interesting optional trips on the free day and final day. He also arranged 3 evening meals for those interested at varied, excellent restaurants. He also gave good restaurant recommendations. He is very knowledgeable about the area.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take walking poles for some of the downhill sections. You do need a decent level of fitness.
