Advice for Potential Travellers
go for it
Wonderful trip
This is a fantastic trip, visiting many places of historical interest and trying good local food. The group leader had so much knowledge and experience that added to the holiday.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the beautiful Treasury in Petra.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Muayad Mismar was an excellent guide with a seemingly endless supply of historical facts, cultural observations, up to date news and anecdotes. He engaged very well with the group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
We travelled in early April and it became very hot in the open areas. After a long day walking in Petra, the golf carts are a wonderful way to get back to the entrance and well worth the 15 Dinars.
A wonderful trip.
This was a great trip. We had a lovely group of people who got on very well and a great team from Exodus well led by Suresh.
Most Inspirational Moment
Reaching the top of the hill at Nuwara Eliya on day6!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Suresh was wonderful. Very organised and knowledgeable. He kept us on the straight and narrow.
Advice for Potential Travellers
It was hot a humid so be prepared for that. Take electrolytes and drink plenty of fluids but save the beer for the end of the day.
Kingdoms of Jordan
A wonderful vist to Jordan not only seeing the wll known places such as Petra, the Dead Sea and Wadi Rum, but visting other historical sites and learning about the culture and people of Jordan who were very welcoming
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the Treasurary in Petra after coming through the Siq. Our guide Muayad presented it to us in a wonderful way, and although in a way we knew what to expct it was still a wow moment.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We were very lucky with our brilliant guide Muayad, he imparted his knowledge of Jordans history and culture as we toured the country. He also organised meeting and eating with a local Jordanian family as well as introducing us to the food culture of Jordan. I found Muayad very caring as he notiiced my fear of heights and also helped me to clamber some of the steeper steps.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Jordan felt a very safe country to visit and we had no worries whilst there. also as a hearing aid wearer I would suggest wearing a head scarf whilst on the 4x4 drive in Wadi Rum as the wind can whistle around your ears.
Walking in Greek Islands
We had a fabulous week. Very well organised;great walks; and visits to interesting places. Thano was excellent
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the islands 46 years later - they have changed but not as much as I thought. Naxos was still recognisable.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Thano was excellent. Well prepared and SO knowledgeable.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Some of the walks are quite hilly so make a note of ascents and descents.
Really not the best holiday Exodus offer
I love the Amalfi coast and was looking forward to this holiday but although as a whole it was a great experience I was left quite disappointed on more than one occasions. I heard from others that other Exodus holidays in other location have been much better. It seems to depend on the local Exodus team rather than on the agency staff in the UK.
Most Inspirational Moment
Climbing Vesuvius
Thoughts on Group Leader
He clearly loves trekking and the mountains, but he wasn't the most caring leader. Our group was varied in age, from people in their 20s to others in their 60s, some had health conditions which requited slower pace of walking, but our leader was always at the front with the fastest and youngest, not knowing how the rest of the group are doing, are they coping, are they in pain. If I had his job, I'd like to know where everyone in my group is at all time. On the last day, the slower part of the group was not even given breaks. As soon as they caught up, they had to go again. Some of the activities were not scheduled with our best interest in mind, after climbing Vesuvius and walking around Pompei for hours we had 30 min for a rest in the hotel and had to go to a cheese tasting and then to a pizza making deminstration and then to dinner. Some people refused to go to all these activities. It was just too much for one day.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Your experience will depend very much on the group leader you get. The hotel was nice, rooms were new and comfortable, but the food at breakfast and dinner was not the best. Not what you'd expect from an Italian holiday and for the money you pay.
Winter wonderland
Fantastic week from start to finish. Great food and comfortable accommodation, equipment great also.

Nothern lights
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide was a kind and sweet man, he was clearly passionate about nature and was more than happy to share his knowledge about our surroundings
Advice for Potential Travellers
Spend time getting to know the others in the group.
North Cyprus

Visiting old cities of Famagusta and Nicosia

Gizer was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and really brought the history of this fascinating island alive.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Good walking footwear essential
Amazing Namibia!
A truly great trip. Namibia is a big country and that becomes apparent very quickly. You can drive for hours on dirt roads without ever seeing any sign of civilisation. There’s a whole lot to see you won’t be disappointed.
Most Inspirational Moment
That's a tough one as there were many. I'm not generally a big animal fan but here when you see a herd of giraffes in full gallop or a bull elephant about to attack the truck you are sitting in or a pride of lions making a complete blunder of attacking a large herd of zebras and wildebeast around a water hole, you cannot fail to be amazed!
Thoughts on Group Leader
We had a great tour guide in Ronney Kavari. I don't know how he managed to drive as well as be our guide. He an excellent game spotter and also knew his stuff on every aspect of Namibia.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Firstly regarding currency just buy South African Rand they don't tell you this but you can easily get it here in the UK and it works out as 1 Rand to 1 Namibian Dollar accepted throughout Namibia. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted but you will need some cash for some activities and some eateries. In the main though the card is good in most places. Secondly there are early starts, the distances are huge and a lot of roads are rough which makes it rather tiring but worth it. Thirdly we went on 24th March and didn't encounter any mosquitoes. I imagine that's a different story when it gets wetter.
