Fantastic experience

Lovely group of 12, knowledgeable & hard-working guide, good safe driver, wonderful locations & wildlife

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing two male sloths fighting in the trees

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent

Advice for Potential Travellers

I was worried about mosquitoes but there were hardly any (Feb/March) - we stopped using bug spray. Bring old leggings or shorts to protect backs of legs from sun when snorkeling - one of our party got painfully burnt. Or at least bring reef-safe sunscreen.

Suggestions

Thank you Exodus

Egypt

7days in Egypt

Most Inspirational Moment

Luxor temple by night

Thoughts on Group Leader

Well organised but more concerned to keep to the itinerary than to allow time to appreciate the sites

Advice for Potential Travellers

This itinerary was demanding in terms of travelling to reach all the sites but well worth the effort involved

Suggestions

Some of the site visits felt rushed although there was often unscheduled time later in the day after we were dropped at the hotel. On a bucket list trip I expected more time at the Pyramids and sometimes the “free time” allowed was very brief.

Jordan

5 days in Jordan

Most Inspirational Moment

Sunset at Wadi Rum, and walking through Petra

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent, enthusiastic and considerate. Went the extra mile

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would recommend this trip to Jordan wholeheartedly. A very welcoming country with amazing Natean, Roman, Byzantine and Bedouin sites to appreciate.

Suggestions

Great itinerary, so much more to see than Petra and the Dead Sea, though these were highlights

Disappointing trip

Overview of this trip is misleading, I soon realised I was on the wrong trip for me. This is NOT an active trip, in two weeks there is a three hour stroll (trainers are fine) and the included kayaking is not a tour but one hour circling around in a very small enclosed area of Ha long bay. Lots of additional bus time to that in the itinerary with several hours on most days travelling through urban areas and far too much time spent in cities or busy places.

Most Inspirational Moment

The sleeper train as I hadn’t experienced that before. Cycling was enjoyable, finally off the bus, but very flat so perfect for non-cyclists.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Duy was very cheerful, reliable, organised and patient. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This is the tour for you if you enjoy bus tours and visiting busy cities. The activity is very limited and easy, so suitable for anybody who’s not a walker or cyclist. There are many nights when you can’t take your full luggage with you, in addition to that detailed in the itinerary, so be prepared for a lot of packing and unpacking. Note for wildlife lovers that there was a distinct lack of any wildlife or birds seen on this trip.

Suggestions

The overview description for this trip should be reviewed and the trip rated the minimum for activity level. Most hotel accommodation was reasonable-good, but I spent three nights in rooms with no natural light (excluding homestays) before requesting not to be put in such a room.

A memorable trip with a lovely group!

A thoroughly enjoyable tour which enabled us to experience the different regions of this beautiful country together with its amazing and varied wildlife.
Everything ran smoothly and the (many!) early starts were a great idea meaning that we could visit places whilst they were still quiet and uncrowded.
Our driver, Randall, was extremely friendly, helpful and skilful in his role – a great asset to the trip overall.

Most Inspirational Moment

Many moments…..! Exploring the quiet waterways of Tortuguero. Early morning swimming in the pool of the waterfall at La Fortuna. Seeing the cloud formations at the Continental Divide. Walking/swimming at the deserted beaches of Manuel Antonio NP. Experiencing the relative isolation of the Savegre valley….and more!!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Andres was an exceptional group leader - the best mix of educator and entertainer. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about flora and fauna and we learned so much about the rich biodiversity of Costa Rica. He also kept us interested and amused with information about culture, politics, education and more personal tales, when his sense of humour shone through. He was very concerned for our safety and well being, making sure we were always aware of any potential dangers/problems.

Advice for Potential Travellers

As advised in the notes, pack for a variety of weathers. We were lucky and had mostly lovely warm/hot weather but also a few cooler days with the inevitable rain when waterproofs were useful. There are a couple of opportunities for doing laundry as items do take a long time to dry.

Suggestions

All the hotels, except the one in Monteverde, were very comfortable and often quite special . Food was always beautifully presented and delicious. In fact, we would say that we ate too much daily and a lighter lunch option would have been welcome. Go on this amazing trip - you definitely won’t regret it!

Introduction to the island, its people and the wildlife.

We saw a lot of wildlife due to the skill of our guides. By the end of the holiday we were able to spot the birds and animals ourselves. Kept busy with many activities and group meals. We felt privileged to see such rare animals in their own habitat in disappearing rainforest.

Most Inspirational Moment

On the river Kinabatangan we were able to see the orangutans, horn bills, prob is us monkey and many birds in the wild. It was much better than seeing them at the feeding platforms.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Rony was excellent throughout being helpful, sociable and knowledgeable. He had the skill as group leader which meant he included everyone in all the activities. I am profoundly deaf but was able to take part and with support hear the talks. He explained the culture and context of the wildlife as well as the bare facts. We really felt looked after.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It was not necessary to have leech socks if you had long socks to tuck your trousers into. It was essential however to have insect repellent and to pack a light suitcase. You are moving regularly and the packing needs to be minimum.

Suggestions

I understood why we stayed in the longhouse but in reality it was uncomfortable and tricky lifting the cases into the rooms. It was also a kind of stunt that didn’t really reflect the way of life of tribal peoples.

BORNEO WILDLIFE

An excellent introduction into Borneo wildlife. We were a group of 8 and spent a fascinating two weeks discovering the birds and animals of Borneo. Great accommodation and and excellent guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

Snorkelling near KK - beautiful fish and coral plus a large turtle

Thoughts on Group Leader

Roni was great - always informative and incredibly enthusiastic. Took us to lots of interesting places to eat and made sure we saw a huge variety of wildlife.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take two water bottles - it is hot and humid. Walking poles also useful. Be prepared for long and often bumpy rides - the roads outside the cities are not great. While this trip concentrated on wild-life spotting, there is also amazing vegetation with flowers and funghi - don't just look up, there is a lot to see when you look down as well!

Walking the Amalfi Coast

A fantastic week of walking. Scenery is stunning. Food is delicious. Hotel great. Lovely group and a great leader.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking the Mount Vesuvius crater in the sunshine ☀️

Thoughts on Group Leader

Severio

Advice for Potential Travellers

Itinerary can change depending in the weather so “go with the flow” as even the group leader can’t summon up the sunshine. Do the Mount Vesuvius crater …it really isn’t that scary and those in my group who didn’t do it were so disappointed when we fed back to them about how accessible it is. A good level of fitness is required as there are a lot of steps!!

As per the description

A fantastic trip which was organised, managed and surpassed expectations

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the male and format Quetzal

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alejandro Rodriquez was an excellent and very passionate leader. He was extremely knowledgeable about his country it’s history, it’s eco policy and education surrounding this, the fauna, wildlife and its people. He mixed well with the group and was highly regarded by all and was well respected. He chose lovely places to eat and was always available to help. He had a great sense of humour and is a true ambassador for his country and Exodus.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take water proof shoes for wet landings and waterproof bags.

Suggestions

Our driver Keylor Calvin was also excellent. He drove safely throughout, his vehicle was spotless and he too was a great character. 1. I would like to see Exodus travel tags like other companies 2. It would be good to have a locally produced booklet showing animals, insects , fauna and birds which you might see so you can tick them off etc as there is never time to remember names etc 3. The accommodation at Savegre is excellent however the huts at the top are quite remote without Wi-Fi phone etc. Incase of accident it would be hard to get help - it maybe worth suggesting Wi-Fi extension or sometulike a small air horn to attract attention

Superb Tour

Interesting and varied trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

seeing a tiger as close as we did.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent - very good English that wasn’t too accented. Able to impart overviews/ info without lecturing . Well organised.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Beware of LOTS of time in the coach and little other free time.
