Group Vacations

Our guided small-group vacations offer unforgettable adventures for travelers looking to combine active exploration with cultural discovery. From exploring the stunning Amalfi Coast in Italy to trekking the legendary Inca Trail in Peru, Exodus creates journeys for a wide variety of interests.

Our small group tours typically have between 8-16 travelers, giving you the chance to get to know fellow adventurers from different backgrounds who share your passion for travel. Traveling in a smaller group can also help reduce our impact on the places we visit.

And with an expert local guide on our small-group tours, you’ll get a unique insight into local life. Our guides impart unknown stories behind the sights you’ll see and take all the hassle out of travel arrangements, so you can focus on enjoying every moment of your adventure. 

If you’re seeking cultural immersion during your vacation, the Amalfi Coast offers opportunities to discover local history, cuisine and culture. Alternatively, head off on a walking adventure of a lifetime when you trek the iconic Inca Trail trek in Peru. Following in the footsteps of the Incas, you’ll hike through lush valleys, high-altitude plains and cloud forests before reaching the spellbinding Machu Picchu. Throughout your tour, our expert guides provide historical context and support.

If you’re a wildlife lover, Costa Rica beckons with its lush rainforests, native wildlife adrenaline-fueled adventures. Zipline through the jungle, look out for sloths and monkeys, and relax on pristine beaches.

Your Words, Not Ours

Planning Your  Guided Group Vacation?

Are your group tours suitable for solo travelers?

Yes, our guided group tours are an excellent option for solo travelers looking to explore the world as part of a small group. Joining one of our group tours gives you the opportunity to meet new people, share incredible experiences and build friendships with fellow adventurers. And because our group tours are led by expert local guides, you’ll gain deeper insight into each destination, visiting local markets, hidden gems, family-run restaurants and the best vantage points that only the locals know.

What types of group tours does Exodus Travels offer?

We specialize in adventure travel and offer many different types of vacations such as hiking, biking, wildlife, cultural immersions, multi-activity, polar and family tours. Whether you’re a nature lover, adventure seeker or history buff, we have a wide range of tours to suit different interests and fitness levels. Explore a variety of destinations, from the mountains and rainforests of Costa Rica to the cultural highlights of the Amalfi Coast. Whichever tour you choose, you’ll be able to scratch beneath the surface of each place you visit and enjoy immersive experiences.

Why choose a guided group holiday over independent travel?

Our guided group tours offer many benefits, including the opportunity to connect with like-minded travelers, enjoy immersive experiences, gain insights from local experts and have on-the-ground logistics taken care of by a knowledgeable tour leader. Additionally, our guided tours often incorporate cultural, historical and natural highlights that may be off the beaten track and, therefore, may be more difficult to navigate independently. With the in-depth local knowledge of our expert guides and carefully planned itineraries, our guided group trips promise unique and unforgettable experiences.

How big are the group sizes on your tours?

At Exodus, we keep our groups small to create a more personal experience for each traveler. Depending on the destination and type of tour you choose, groups typically range from 8 to 16 travelers. Smaller groups allow for more personal interactions with the tour leader and fellow travelers, and can also help reduce our impact on the places we visit.

Are meals included in group tours?

Most guided group vacations with Exodus include a combination of meals, with breakfast often included and additional lunches and dinners as detailed in each trip itinerary. Special dietary requirements can be accommodated with prior notice to your tour, and these will be given to the airline and local operators to ensure that your personal requirements are catered for.

How physically demanding are group tours?

We categorise each of our tours based on its Activity Level, ranging from more relaxed adventures to more challenging expeditions designed for experienced adventurers. You can select tours that align with your fitness and activity preferences, and you’ll find further information on our Activity Guidelines. The guidelines explain what each Activity Level means and the factors we consider when grading a trip, which can include terrain, walking or biking distances, elevation gain and the overall level of physical activity.

What is the role of the tour leader?

Our expert local guides play a key role in brining each destination to life. Our guides are experienced, knowledgeable and passionate about the places they lead you through, offering valuable insights, assistance and support throughout the journey. As well as creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere that encourages exploration, learning and connection among group members, they also take you away from the crowds to lesser-known places where you’ll enjoy unique experiences and uncover local secrets.

Expert Blog Entries

We thoroughly enjoyed our Baltic tour and would recommend it to anyone interested in history, architecture, cultural and gastronomic experiences. Although we have travelled extensively in Europe over many years, the three Baltic countries were new destinations for us and they all offer interesting and different dimensions in terms of pre-WW2 history, and post-war and occupation history as well. Beautiful medieval cities and castles are wonderful to visit, but the countryside, seaside and riverside towns were also a pleasure to explore. We were fortunate to have the guidance of an exceptional tour guide in Margarita, who made sure we all enjoyed the experience together, balancing quiet solo moments with memorable group events which were plenty of fun as well. Similarly, the local tour guides we had were all knowledgeable and entertaining as well.

Linda Coyle Discover the Baltics

I was travelling as an Exodus Staff Member: The Garfagnana is such a beautiful and quiet part of Italy, a true hidden gem. I did Level 3 walks every day in September, and we were very lucky with the weather: only one rainy day, and otherwise beautiful blue skies, perfect for those incredible 360° views. Every walk was stunning, throughout and specially at the peaks. Staying at Agriturismo Braccicorti was also a highlight, it’s such a beautiful cozy, peaceful farm with so much history, lovingly restored by the owners and almost self-sustainable. We were completely spoiled with amazing local food, cheeses, homemade jams, fresh peaches and apples, and some of the best wine I’ve ever had, ah, i miss the food!

Daniela Ortiz Jimenez Walking Northern Tuscany

Our first time in Albania and we loved it. Temperature in late September was warm but comfortable, especially by the coast. Roads felt safe – good surfaces and considerate drivers. Armand, our guide, was knowledgeable, funny and very hard-working. He and Rogens really looked after us. The first day’s cycling was hard but the two easier days meant I was confident to manage the Llogara Pass on the final day. Our group was very friendly and had great laughs along the way.
