Foothills of the Himalaya
Fab trip – very full on but totally enjoyable. Travelled with you many times, rarely disappointed.
Egypt: Alexandria to Aswan
Booking, pre travel information, the holiday and guide were all excellent
Most Inspirational Moment
Abu Simbel and seeing the Sphinx, although it was all really good
Thoughts on Group Leader
We have done many guided tours in different countries. Ahmed was one of the best guides we have experienced. His knowledge was incredible and he made sure we saw and understood all the temples/ tombs/ museums/ sites etc in an imaginative and interesting way. He was also good with the practical organisation of the trip.
What an amazing trip!
The best trip I have ever done with Exodus. Everything was perfect: the itinerary, the accommodation, the food! Vietnam and Cambodia are both amazing countries and this trip was the perfect way to experience them both.
Most Inspirational Moment
The overnight boat stay in Ha Long Bay. Drinking cocktails on the sundeck with the most impressive sunset.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Vuong (V) made the trip. He was incredible at making sure everything ran smoothly and imparted his vast knowledge about Vietnam upon the group. He is a credit to both Exodus and his country.
Advice for Potential Travellers
You can pack light. There are plenty of opportunities to do laundry on the trip (very cheap) and you will most definitely buy lots of souvenirs. Also worth adding on an extra night or 2 on arrival to combat the jetlag before the trip starts.
Volcanoes, Lakes & Condors!
As an Exodus staff member, I hope I can speak for the entire group when I say that we had such an amazing holiday in these two wonderful countries. My favourite was Chile for the volcanoes and Argentina for the Condors! Easily, the most picturesque trip I’ve been on with Exodus! The accommodation was fantastic, with a mixture of 3,4 and 5-star hotels! If you are a keen cyclist who loves taking pictures, this trip is for you!
Most Inspirational Moment
On the final cycling day, in the mix of all the days activities, we walked through the forest for 30 minutes to find the Monkey Puzzle Mother Tree, which is over 1800 years old! Overall, this day was everyone's favourite and just superb!

Advice for Potential Travellers
Take ear plugs with you just in case you're a light sleeper. People's feet on hard wooden floors in some locations and dogs may wake you up, so good to be prepared!
Foothills of the Himalaya
This trip had a great itinerary, especially if you had already visited the high profile sites on past trips to India. It was well organized.
Most Inspirational Moment
Haridwar and the Golden Temple
Thoughts on Group Leader
This trip involved lots of logistics especially for the transportation which he handled very well.
The Ultimate South India Experience
As an Exodus staff member this was an incredible trip! This itinerary is well crafted to show off all Southern India’s highlights; from tea plantations, temple cities, sleepy coastal towns, wildlife and houseboats to all the friendly locals! Biju, our guide was stand-out with his incredible depth of knowledge and insight into his home state of Kerala as well as the whole of India, he really did make the trip! Vinod, our driver was impeccable navigating the twisty roads of the Western Ghats with precision. All in all, a once-in-a-lifetime trip that I will never forget! Highly recommend.
Vietnam & Angkor Wat
We were very happy with our trip from the booking to the execution. Communication was excellent. We loved our guide V and the group.
Most Inspirational Moment
The group dynamic was terrific; we enjoyed spending time with everyone. Particularly enjoyed the cooking class, bicycling, and the Mekong Delta day spent visiting the chocolate farm and coconut production facility. Seeing Angkor Wat and the other areas in Cambodia. Historical sights were important to see.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Wow! V was organized, funny, knowledgeable, and caring. I couldn't have asked for a better leader. Our leader in Cambodia was a different kind of person.
Highlights of Morocco
I’ve travelled with Exodus many times now, and have always had a great experience. We have met some really interesting fellow travellers – I think people who travel with Exodus tend to have a similar outlook on life! The tours are a good balance of structured activity, with a bit of free time, and are reasonably priced. Our guides have overall been fantastic.
Most Inspirational Moment
The medina in Fes, the desert, the Atlas Mountains (particularly lunch with a local family), the riad in the High Atlas, and Essaouira. But it's hard to pick one, as I loved it all!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mohamed was one of the best, possibly the best, leader we have ever had. He was friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, patient, calm, and excellent at organising us! He seemed to know people everywhere we went, and was clearly well respected by the local guides and other people we had dealings with.
Temples Food and The Sea Coast!
This tour was everything I hoped for and more — the perfect mix of culture, nature, food, and beautiful views. From walking among ancient temples to seeing the sea.. every day had something unforgettable. The food was incredible, and the local towns were full of charm and character. The Gambino winery experience was also amazing. The wines were delicious after a day walking on Etna mixed with cheese and breads and olive oil. Just wonderful!
Most Inspirational Moment
Mount Etna was the most inspiring moment of the entire trip for me — walking up the slopes and breathing in the air with the landscape around you that feels like you are on mars. You feel tiny but like you’re standing on the edge of the world. I am also not a walker, I was nervous as I would never call myself fit but the walk offered options for all fitness levels. If you were unable to continue up, there were rocks you could sit at and wait for the group to loop back around. There was the option to take the cable car up to view, or to walk even higher.. I went in the middle and I'm so thrilled that I did. You do NOT need to be a walker to enjoy the experience
Thoughts on Group Leader
Laura was a fantastic tour leader. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and naturally chatty in a way that made everyone feel welcome and included. She shared the history and culture of Sicily with so much passion, and she was just as comfortable explaining the details of ancient temples as she was giving restaurant tips or making jokes on the bus. She kept the group organized and you could tell she genuinely cared about each person having an amazing experience. Her energy and warmth were a huge part of what made this trip so special.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack layers, no matter the season — especially for Etna. Even in summer it can be cold and windy at the top. In November, I wish I had ear muffs and light gloves. If you're traveling in winter, expect some rain and bring a waterproof layer. Comfortable shoes are a must .. and again, I would say you do NOT need to be a walker to enjoy the Etna or Nature Walk experience. They aren't "easy" but everyone can enjoy. Just be prepared that you are walking uphill and on rocky terrain and you'll be ready to rock!
Highlights of Northern India
The tour was well organised and visited the main cities I expected to be covered. Tour guide – Naveen Bazaz was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting the National Park in Ranthambore and the Taj Mahal in Agra
Thoughts on Group Leader
Naveen is obviously very proud of his home country but also aware of some of the challenges it poses to visitors. His knowledge regarding the various religions and cultures is excellent which meant that I gained a deeper insight into India as a whole.
