Sicily

October is a good month for weather, not too hot for sightseeing, but still sunny. Guide (Fabio) was knowledgeable. Plenty to see and do.

Most Inspirational Moment

Wine-tasting.

Fantastic and Challenging Holiday

This trip exceeded our expectations in terms of the amazing scenery. The trip was well organised and the cycling was challenging.

Most Inspirational Moment

Cycling through Golden Gate National Park with hundreds of running antelope. Waiting at a waterhole in Kruger and seeing many animals coming down to drink. Awesome views at Blyde River Canyon.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Bevan was excellent and ably supported by Gary. They were very efficient and seemed to be always on the go. Nothing was too much trouble and they made sure that they spent time with and supported each member of the group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

We had chosen early October for the more comfortable temperatures; but the region was experiencing a heatwave. Make sure that you prepare for what could be a very hot holiday! A travel towel is useful for the swimming opportunities. We took worldwide socket adaptors and they did not work in South Africa. The sockets are the large round three pin variety. Taking a hard suitcase makes it difficult for all of the bags to fit into the truck, make life easy and take a soft bag / back pack or case.

Cycle Indochina and Angkor

This was a brilliant trip. It combined fair distances of cycling with beautiful scenery and fascinating cultural sites. All the accommodation was good and some of the hotels were quite luxurious! The food was varied and delicious with many places offering local specialities. The drinks and snacks provided during the cycling days were also very good.

Most Inspirational Moment

It is difficult to identify just one inspirational moment from the trip, as this section asks, because there were a number. Cycling through the back roads in Vietnam and around the Angkor area and through Siem Reap in Cambodia were highlights for me together with our visits to the Angkor temples. I was also very moved and saddened by what we learnt about the tragic events associated with the killing fields. Although very sad, it is a major historic event in Cambodia and an important part of the trip.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The leader for this trip was Rit and he was superb. He succeeded in managing everything seamlessly and nothing was too much trouble for him. He was always approachable and happy to assist. He was also friendly and joined us at meal times to chat.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The main tip I would offer is to take very light cycle wear, if travelling in the warmer seasons, and apply plenty of sun cream particularly on the left side as one is travelling south most of the time. If my trip was typical of others, there is no need to bring snacks as there are plenty of drinks and snacks provided on the cycling days.

A comprehensive taster of a beautiful part of Italy

This trip really packs in a lot into a week, giving you a taster of the best locations in and around Naples and the Amalfi Coast. There is not much scope for relaxation or quiet time, but you do get to visit a wide range of places. The trip is described as “leisurely” but we found The Walk of the Gods hard going and it took its toll on our joints. The ascent to the crater of Vesuvius is not easy either: steep and heavy underfoot. It is a full-on itinerary and we were glad of our decision to extend the trip by a week to relax at the hotel.

Most Inspirational Moment

Our brief time in Ravello - curtailed by local road closures, which meant we had to take a wide detour to get there. You can lose yourself in the shade and quiet of the Villa Cimbrone, or gaze out from the viewing terraces of the Villa Rufolo, looking down on the coastline far below and following it as it fades into the distance. We also found our whistle-stop tour of Naples hugely enjoyable, with a surreal meal to remember at Nennella's in the Spanish Quarter. It was almost like finding yourself in a Fellini film.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Edouardo Palermo was an excellent leader, with a comprehensive knowledge of the region. He had to deal with a number of logistical difficulties - the mininbus broke down on the first day, and the road closures made the itinerary hard to follow - but he was able to fix things quickly and efficiently and keep everything on track. He was always attentive to the needs and wishes of the group. We did well to heed his advice on Capri, where he arranged for private taxis for the group, thus avoiding lengthy waits for the bus or taxi. Edourado even made sure we were looked after throughout our holiday extension, and on one day he drove us to Ravello and picked us up from Amalfi in his private car - a favour for which he refused to be paid.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure you have sturdy walking boots for the Walk of the Gods and the ascent of Vesuvius. I would suggest you also make use of the walking poles available at the Hotel Due Torri for the Walk of the Gods.

Prague to Budapest bicycle ride

Great fun! As a solo traveler, I was particularly gratified to find myself in a very compatible group. I’d do it again.

Most Inspirational Moment

The ride through the "Canada" national park in the Czech Republic.

Thoughts on Group Leader

BOTH leaders were wonderful: Jan and Donna. They were knowledgeable and informative and flexible, and they possessed a good sense of humor.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Although the Exodus agent told me that I could bring my own bike, it's a very good thing that I decided not to do so. My road bike would've be completely unsuitable for some of the surfaces we rode on. The rental hybrid was exactly what I needed. I'm glad, though, that I brought my own saddle.

Viv

Loved the trip from beginning to end despite the rain ,the mud splattering and the gruelling ascents! Did not expect the food to be so exceptionally good and so cheap (as was the wine and beer), everything fresh and wholesome, sort of stuff I could live on forever.

Most Inspirational Moment

It was all fab, but especially enjoyed the final day's ascent to over 1000m (probably because I felt so much fitter and the sun was shining )

Thoughts on Group Leader

Armand was quite superb, could not do enough to please us, every detail was looked after and he was hugely informative and passionate about his country.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just go before Albania gets on the map and becomes another mass tourist destination.

Amazing trip - cycling, sights, sea and sand!

Jordan is a fantastic country with so much to offer – and travelling by bike is definately the best way to see the landscape and people at their best. Great cycing (quite alot of up, but some pretty awesome downs to go with it!), floating in the Dead Sea, snorkelling in the Red Sea, ancient sights (Petra is to be seen to be believed), camping in the desert, camels…

Most Inspirational Moment

It was all pretty amazing, but a particular highlight has to be the day cycing (mostly down) to the Dead Sea, then floating in the waters - you literally just float and there is nothing you can do about it! An experience not to be missed...

Thoughts on Group Leader

Salah was a good group leading - looking out for our comfort and safety at all times and exremely knowledgeable about the country, the people and the history.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This is a great trip, with alot of variety and activities. Whilst the cycling was fab, some of the days spent on the were quite short - so be prepared to feel like you want more (because its great!) if you are an experienced and fairly fit cyclist, but still well worth doing, so don't let this put you off!

Highlights of Morocco

This was a great way to see a lot of country in a small amount of time. There was a lot of “on the bus, off the bus” and a couple of very long days on the bus. There was only a few of days where there was any physical activity. We also found that we were taken to see “how things were made” but it ended up being a buying trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the sun rise and set in the Sahara, and riding a camel.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader tended to be overprotective. I feel he even scared people out of doing things they would have enjoyed. He was knowledgeable but he tended to repeat himself so much that after a while I tended to ignore him.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for long days in the bus.

Cycling Rajasthan

Nice way to discover Indi by bike.

Most Inspirational Moment

Cycling through rural India and the Taj Mahal

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent. Good knowledge, social and funny.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be aware of the traffic in cities.

Walking the Amalfi Coast

I have just returned from Walking the Amalfi Coast. This was a really great holiday and I would really recommend it. The walks are all lovely, although they are not too long, they seem more difficult owing to the steepness of the terrain. You see beautiful scenery around the Amalfi Coast and also on the walk to Ravello. It is nice to see around Bomerano the village where the holiday is based, where they grow all kinds of vegetables and fruit and to see where cheese is made.

The hotel is a good standard and the staff really friendly and helpful. The food was really nice there.

I enjoyed getting to know all members of the group. We had a lot of fun and laughter together.

Most Inspirational Moment

Everything!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Christine was a very enthusiastic group leader, she was very experienced and knowledgeable having led this trip over the last 9 years. She is friendly and approachable. It was clear from the greetings she received from staff in the hotel and people from Bomerano where the trip is based that she is very well thought about. This makes it easier for her to arrangements for the groups benefit. Christine worked hard to make arrangements for the benefit of the group eg transport for our free day.

Advice for Potential Travellers

As in many of the reviews regarding this trip I would recommend bring a walking pole/poles, these are particularly needed owing to the steep steps, that are present in the majority of the walks. I would also recommend bringing waterproof walking trousers in case of rain. Luckily I didn't need these on the days that we walked, however I didn't see places where you could buy walking gear in this part of Italy.
