I really enjoyed this holiday, and would recommend it to others. I would confirm (in my opinion) that this is a level 2 walking holiday, however I do need to caveat that with I missed the day 4 walk, which was apparently the hardest. I liked the mixture of inland and coastal walks, as a whole week of just coastal walks may have been a bit “samey”. I was quite rainy (off and on) for the week we went in March, sunglasses for 5 minutes, then hood up for 5 minutes, but this didn’t spoil the holiday at all (but bring waterproofs if coming early or late in the season). Even though we stayed in 3 different places, this tour did not feel rushed.

A great holiday for wildlife

John Weaver Discover Costa Rica

This is a lovely, varied trip for someone who wants to see as much of this wonderful country as possible in a short time – with someone else doing the many hours of driving required, and with someone who has invaluable local knowledge.

Absolutely amazing trip from start to finish. Met at the airport by a smiling Tenzi Sherpa, couldn’t have had a more welcoming greeting. Thorough briefing before an early start off into the mountains. Kept fully informed all the way along the trek. Always kept upbeat by Tenzis ready smile and laugh.
Stunning scenery and totally awe inspiring to walk among the highest mountains in the world.

Stephanie Tugwell Everest Base Camp Trek

This trip is fantastic; the two guides (Ilse and Mary) are second to none. They have quite different but complementary styles and both went above and beyond to ensure that everyone felt safe and had a great time. They know this beautiful area incredibly well and chose amazing routes to match the skill of the group and provide variety and fun and stunning views. There was a good balance between coaching (I learned a lot!) and just enjoying the skiing and the landscape. They also took wonderful photos of everyone through the week, which is a really nice bonus; it’s easy to forget to take photos when you’re wearing gloves and holding poles and focusing on staying upright.
Just two negative points:
– While the trip and guides were great, Exodus could definitely improve some things in the booking and contact process (and no, an infuriating hierarchical drop-down contact form is not a “live chat”).
– Since the required ski equipment is supposed to be included, ski waxes and corks should also be provided for the group to use. It’s very wasteful to expect people to buy a wax set that they may never use again.

Tam . Norway Cross-country Skiing

A very enjoyable trip highlighting a few places/aspects of each country. If you do not have more time, this is a great intro to both Vietnam and Cambodia. Well organised, varied – in spite of limited time, we felt, we’ve seen a lot. The activity level was low as described, the pace was a bit more than expected, requiring early rises on many occasions, but this enabled us to see as much as possible, which we wanted and appreciated. Accomodation was of a slightly lower standard than expected (by reading travel notes), but overall it was OK. Plus if this is your first time in the country, it is hard to know what the norm is.
