This week-long self-guided cycling trip was excellent. Cycling through olive groves, along rocky shores and sampling tasty local food. Typical distances were 30K a day suggested, but there is great scope for extending (or shortening) routes to suit yourself. Directions were generally good, and accommodation was excellent along the way in very friendly hotels in Fazana (especially!) Rovinj and Porec.

A detour to Motovun was beautiful but a challenging cycle. Bring insect repellent for the countryside cycles.
Having had are original booking changed due to no one else booking, the company re booked our trip for the Saturday. They were very helpful and apologetic, they could not understand why, having been on the trek I do.
Cocktails at the hotel in Les Bossons,we went here by ourselves. As every meal that had been pre booked by Exodus, we were told beforehand that the hotel did not like the group, or people the previous week had complained.
He had very little knowledge about the area, he had done two trips and we were his third group. He did state quite clearly that the did not expect us to move along at the same speed, however with all the references to the previous group, a pack mentally developed and on arrival at the campsite each evening it was "were we faster than the previous" This resulted in one day, three of the team having to abandon their walk due to being completely wrecked.
Make sure that the people running your trek, are enjoying their job, as if they are totally fed up it begins to rub off on you. I did the Yorkshire Three Peaks in just under ten hours, I would suggest that you must be fit enough to complete this within nine hours otherwise do not book. Also be prepared to pack up belongings and your tent, before you are allowed a warm drink or anything to eat. (this is because they do not trust you will be organised in time for the group to leave!
An Exodus staff member who travelled on this departure has given us excellent feedback about the tour leader and the way in which the walks were led, and this leader has had great feedback over the past two seasons so we are disappointed that Margaret’s experience was not as positive as we would have expected. We are aware that on one day, three of the group members decided to take a cable car down when the option was available, but to our knowledge this was not because they felt they had to abandon the walk and we have not received any other feedback to suggest that the pace of the walking was overly fast. We are really sorry that Margaret did not enjoy this holiday as much as other trips she has been on and that she sustained an injury as we realise she must have been disappointed not to join all of the walks.

As expected, the scenery is stunning. The walks selected for the ‘Highlights’ were great as they allowed for a good array of views of the Mont Blanc massif and the itinerary was very well paced. Everything ran smoothly and the group were well looked after by the leader and the chalet staff. Good food, a nice selection of local beers and a beautiful setting meant that time at the chalet was nearly as enjoyable as the trekking.
I really loved the walking on the Courmayeur day. The views were amazing, there were mountain flowers everywhere and it felt slightly more remote. It was great to just take in my surroundings.
Very knowledgeable of the trekking that goes on in the area and you can tell that he has a real passion for it. He adapted the walks based on the weather and the group’s varying abilities which showed his experience. He also joined the group for drinks on a few evenings which was something that he didn’t have to do but was a nice touch.
Comfortable and suitable footwear is essential. Walking poles are also a great help for walking efficiency and balance. Be prepared for varying temperatures and weather conditions. The weather was mostly good but wearing layers that you can add/remove depending on conditions and having waterproofs will make the trekking a far more enjoyable experience.
An excellent trip from start to finish. We were looked after by the best guides, cooks and porters and feel privileged to have been part of the group.
It has got to be my fist view of Kilimanjaro through the aeroplane window and then again the view from Kia Lodge - yes! it was really happening.....but then it was truly fantastic being given the 'go ahead' to reach the summit after reaching Gillman's Point.
Our Group Leader, Mussa was incredible! He took such care of us each day with patience and sensitivity. He took the time to get to know us all as well as sharing his stories. His humour and dedication gave me the determination to go that extra mile! Mussa (Moses) really did lead us to the promised land!! I cannot forget our other guides too who made this trip unforgettable.
Warm sleeping bags- it's really cold! Baby wipes,lots of them.
This was a very well organised trip. Transfers to and from the airport were all organised and it’s easy to spot other exodus travellers with their big yellow bags.
The food was fantastic and there was much more of it than I was expecting.
The walks were good and a pleasant way to do Toubkal and the surrounding Atlas Mountains.
We didn’t need to treat water at all and you just need to buy water at the available places and ask when the next opportunity to buy more is so you can plan quantity sensibly.
The walk isn’t ‘non-technical’; there is a lot of slippy scree and a bit of scrambling up boulders. Fitness needs to be reasonable but the climbs were very do-able. Don’t be put off by the 95 diagonals it’s easier than it looks.
Marrakech was interesting and easily done in the 24 hours at the end. I wouldn’t bother staying on longer in Marrakech it’s self.
I enjoyed the views but unfortunately never had a moment of euphoria
The group leader wasn't particularly focused on the group. When people needed to stop for whatever reason he didn't tend to notice. However other members of the group do notice, so it's nothing to worry about but I would have expected more from the leader. However his local knowledge was excellent and I enjoyed the times he stopped to tell us about the Burbers and the villages.
The weather was generally fair except for the first, the eighth, and ninth day. Our group consisting of six couples and two singles, were all very nice and cheerful. We enjoyed walking, talking, eating, and drinking. The flowers were less in number than my expectation and lacked in variety. Maybe it was a bit early and they were not in full bloom. I think having free days in between is quite a good policy.
It was when we reached Grand Col Ferret and saw the majestic Grandes Jorasses.
He had a keen sense of humour and did his best to answer our questions.
Due to frequent rain, some routes are quite muddy and slippery.
The ‘Walking in Albania’ trip provides a wonderful opportunity to glimpse many different aspects of a fascinating and beautiful country. This is a busy and exciting holiday with never a dull moment! Most people in the group started out knowing very little about Albania because, of course, it was ‘out of bounds’ until Communism was overthrown in 1991. We learned such a lot! If you love climbing mountains, walking in beautiful scenery, learning about culture, history and traditions, then this is the trip for you.
Enduring memories: Watching a World Cup football match on a warm evening, in a restaurant in a beautiful park in Tirana. Reaching a beautiful mountain pass after climbing over 3,000 feet in stunning scenery and torrential rain. Driving over dry river beds at quite a speed! Learning about the difficult recent history of Albania from an excellent guide and excellent displays in Tirana Museum. Wonderful evening meal with a myriad of delicious dishes eaten in a cafe in the grounds of Berati Castle.
The group leader is extremely proud of his country. He took a lot of trouble to explain Albanian customs, culture and religious tolerance to us. He was friendly and knowledgeable. Occasionally, he appeared slightly disapproving but always with a sense of fun.
Remember to use a soft bag for luggage. The mules have to carry our bags up and over a high mountain pass.
A great week of spectacular scenery, great hiking trails, good food and good company!
My highlights were swimming in the lake above Chamonix (though very very cold!!) and seeing a Wallcreeper.
Rupert made the trip very interesting by sharing his knowledge of wild flowers and knowledge of the local cuisine and best coffee stops! His knowledge of the area was excellent and due to this we could do little detours to see glacial lakes and Bernard the cheese farmer that you would miss if you stuck rigidly to the TMB. I also loved having 2 half-lunches, will do this on hikes in the future!
Keep your pack as light as possible - I wished I'd taken a small pair of binoculars though. Do take your swimmers & sports towel with you as it is great to go in the lake! If you have any knee problems, use hiking poles and bring knee supports with you. There is a lot of downhill on this trip!
An excellent 10 day trek in which ever day is different and 3 countries are visited. Wonderful views on the rain free days!
The carpets of wild flowers set against the dramatic backdrop of the Mont Blanc Massif
John was an excellent leader in every sense admirably supported by Graham (great food) and Charlotte
Go light -you get a chance to wash clothes through BUT take good quality waterproofs or a poncho -it will rain! It can be cold so plenty of layers and a 4 season sleeping bag
A real well organised and thoroughly enjoyable trip.
The scramble to the summit of Mt Ouanakrim.
Very good and extremely personable especially as the trip was during Ramadan
Go!
