Walking the great wall of china
This was the last big trek that we were going to do as our age is catching up with us, we found the walk quite hard for us and we were the last all the time. Our team leader Jerry, once he found we were struggling he made a point of ensuring that we were okay and any difficult parts he was always there to assist us. the group we had were absolutely brilliant and the social side of the group was wonderful. regarding the trek it was hard but well worth the considerable effort to complete it. We had a good insight to the local community and the accommodation was good as you were in the local culture and although not the best standard it was adequate. all in all it was a great holiday, expertly organised and great value for money.
Most Inspirational Moment
The longest day of the trek, It was a really a clear sunny day and the scenery was absolutely stunning
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leader Jerry Wei was a great leader with a good knowledge of the wall and his social skills with the group were brilliant
Advice for Potential Travellers
Go for it regardless of age. We are in mid 60's and mid 70's and whilst we struggled quite a lot, we are so glad we achieved something we have thought about for some years and never imagined it would happen, but it did, thanks to Exodus and Jerry our guide. Thank you.

Classic Kenyan Safari - A fantastic trip
A 7 day trip with lots of early starts, but that aside it was well worth it, scenery was amazing, and a lot of animals were seen, including cheetahs and a leopard. Considering it was my first safari I was really lucky in what was seen. The guides were great and really knew their stuff, and I also had the other vital ingrediant to a great holiday in that I was with some really fun people.
Most Inspirational Moment
I would have to say one of the most imspirational moments was watching the sunrise on the Masai Maara, just breath taking watching a new day dawn.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leader was great, knew his stuff was a lot of fun, and drove like a demon when needed.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't bother with taking Stirling, just stick to dollars and convert it to shilling there. Always haggle and start really low as they over price (waaaaay over) and try to keep a good idea of the conversion from shilling to pounds/dollars in your head. Otherwise lots of sunscreen and a decent camera and binoculars.

Cycle Cilento & the Amalfi Coast
Great cycling with excellent food. Varied scenery and interesting history . Can be challenging on the long uphills and traffic congested coastal part but the views are amazing. Tasting real Italian foods. Sitting in old town squares enjoying the local wine.
Meeting like minded cyclists from around the world.
Most Inspirational Moment
Cycling up to the mediaeval village of Pisciotta before spending the night at the agriturismo, a small farm where we watched pasta being hand made for our evening meal.
Seeing the magnificent ruins at Paestum.
Cycling along the Amalfi coast with all the buses! Seeing the views.
Tasting the best Buffalo Mozzarella ever.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Paolo very good at leading a mixed group of abilities, keeping us together .
Informative about the history and places were we went to see.
Mixed well with the group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If not used to long hills get some in before you go. As in the heat they are much harder.
Enjoy!

Cycling Morocco's great south
Brilliant cycle holiday and 100% recommended. This holiday is very much about cycling through beautiful Moroccan landscapes and eating some very tasty Tagines.
Be-warned there really are only two directions to cycle on this trip and that’s UP and DOWN!.. the climbs are difficult and challenging even when not listed as so in the trip notes (however there is always the option of getting in a support vehicle if you want to). The descents are AMAZING.. think we clocked up around 60km per hour plus at times. There is very little flat on the whole trip… but every hill was worth it!
Most Inspirational Moment
Not Inspirational but on day 6 when you have cycled your final BIG hill (not the last hill) there is a long flat road at the top of the mountain, followed by an incredible long descent. This was a great chance to really see and appreciate where you are and what you are doing - really fantastic last cycle day.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Female travelers should know that you need to wear long shorts and have your shoulders covered at all times. This isn't in the trip notes but worth knowing when deciding what to pack.

Namibia - 4WD Desert Explorer
This trip was everything I expected and more.this was my third trip to Namibia but this time because of the wild camping I saw far more and really appreciated the beauty of the desert and of Namibia as a whole.
Most Inspirational Moment
The couple of days we spent in the desert.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Frank Austin was excellent, he taught us so much about the history of the areas we went through,about the problems of the endangered species and of the people, I do not think we could have had better.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take a travel wash basin and sink plugs with you because most camp sites do not have them.

Camino de Santiago
This was a terrific cycling holiday with some challenging and varied riding days. The guides, Nacho and Xavier, were well organized as well as being humorous and entertaining. Each day brought different challenges whether that be riding a trail that was more akin to a mountain bike trail or the 6km killer hill that was so thick with fog at tge end that it felt eerie or even the 14km downhill which was a great opportunity to get in touch with your inner child.
Most Inspirational Moment
Climbing the 6km killer hill that was prefaced by a 4km hill that was challenging in its own right. It was at the end of a 62km day and after backing up from such a miserable previous day it was quite a euphoric feeling charging up that hill ( I made it a workout and gave myself a time to do it in)
Thoughts on Group Leader
Nacho was terrific. A great personality who was good for a laugh but also took his role as leader very seriously.
His offsider Xavier, was a great back up and the two of them made a great team.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure you train properly. If you are coming out of an Australian winter try and do at least 3 Spin sessions a week. If you can get out complement the Spin classes with some hill training on a real bike. If you are a fair weathered cyclist and you like to ride around a lake on a Sunday this isn't the trip for you . Like most things in life you only get out of it what you put in. Most people don't do strenuous cycling 6 days in a row let alone challenging hills that you will encounter on this trip. Have a coke at lunch time too it helps you get through the afternoon.

Cilento and Amalfi cycle trip
Enjoyable trip through some scenic locations and good accommodation.
Most Inspirational Moment
Thoroughly enjoyed the last day's cycling along the Amalfi coast. Fabulous views and I felt that the drivers along that busy road were considerate to the cyclists.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Paolo was a good leader, and was a great support to me personally when I struggled in the heat/climbs on the first day. Safety for the group was paramount to him, so sometimes I missed the reward of speeding down the descents after a tough climb.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Beware teh mosquitos in the agroturismo stop - they were waiting for us and the repellants seemed to be to their liking.
