A well organised trip, busy and plenty to see. Jordan is a great place to visit, so sad that tourism has been hit by the current troubles in the Middle East. We felt safe everywhere, people were charming & tolerant. Also a welcome lack of being pestered to buy when looking around.
Petra was amazing, so much more than the view of the Treasury that most people associate with it. It was great to have 3 days there to explore. The night in a Bedouin Cave was very special, even if we were a bit noisy!
Khaled was friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable.
Don't forget your swimsuit!
This was our first Exodus trip, it was well organised, everything was as per the trip notes & I would certainly look at other Exodus holidays.
I loved the beautiful tiny villages & hamlets that we walked through, one even had an unscheduled stop for a taste of the local wine & a chance to buy jams & olive oil. Siena & the Tuscan Wine School were superb, as was Florence & San Gimingnano.
Liz was a great guide. I was also impressed with the English representative of the San Gimingnano winery, she was lovely & really explained a lot about the wine making processes.
Roberta at Villa Casalta is a great lady & nothing is too much trouble. We were actually a party of 3 & really wanted to room together, when we booked we were told it wasn't possible but after a day or so Roberta moved us all into a family room, so it's always worth asking her if you need anything arranging. The food at the Villa was fairly basic but there was often enough if you wanted seconds, I was a bit disappointed with the breakfasts, especially the bread - not much of it (1 roll each is a bit stingy) and tough stuff too! There's an 'honesty bar' fridge with bottles beers, wine & water (though we had plenty of wine included with the meal). The village is a good 20/25 minute walk away down (and up!) a little old road/track, so we tended to stay at the Villa all evening when we ate there. We also took handy little Graze Boxes with us for nibbles out on the walking trips too.
This is an excellent destination, withgreat scenery, and superb beaches.
The cycling was good and the leaders did an excellent job in making this an enjoyable holiday for the whole group.
Inspirational may not be the exact word, but cycling round the islands of San Pietro and San Antioco was really enjoyable
See above. Both leaders were excellent, ensuring that the trip ran smoothly and that it was enjoyable for all the group.
An excellently devised and run holiday week. Our guide was special and all the logistics were in place. Stromboli by night was awe-inspiring, and Etna in its colossal size as well.
Single file walking to and hearing, then seeing Stromboli's explosions.
Excellent
Just go with the flow
Inspiring, energising, entertaining, funny, thought provoking……
Cambodia, the warmth, friendliness and resilience of the people I met in Cambodia utterly inspired me.
Wonderful! Our guide who followed us throughout the whole trip was really super. She thought of every little detail and dealt so well with all the quirks and demands of our group as we adjusted to our new surrounding. She was particularly good at introducing us to the local dishes and explaining the customs of each area as we travelled through.
Remember to put mosquito repellent on your bottom too.....for those all important trips to the outside loos.
A one week holiday staying at one well run boutique hotel. The location was quiet and beautiful. An idyllic setting for some fun and sometimes vigorous hikes over the hills.
I really adored the walking through the meadows of wild flowers. I was just lucky I chose to go beginning of June. Meadows in full flower and the weather was glorious.
Udo Krause our tour leader was a large lump of a hiker with a mix of wildlife photographer. He lead the goup well and he was totally qualified and experienced to explain all flora & fauna.
A lunchbox has been mentioned by other reviews. Its good to carry your diy sandwiches. During our time in June the sun was baking, do not under estimate dehydration ad sun burn.
Wonderful scenery. Great wildlife. Good food. Great accommodation. Very knowledgable leader and excellent driver.
Probably staying in the jungle lodge, surrounded by monkeys in the day, going out on the night walk and at night listening to the sounds of the jungle in our candle lit room.
Fabian is an excellent organiser, is very knowledgable about all sorts of things and kept us entertained with his stories. I appreciated his concern for our welfare and safety which was one thing that worried me slightly before we went but we had no problems at all whilst we were there.
Take a woolly hat, gloves and maybe a scarf. It was very cold walking at high altitude (which we did twice) for a couple of hours each time. If that was on the list of equipment I missed it. Don't rely on the temperature charts for Quito or Guayaquil and think that the whole country is the like either of these places. It can be quite chilly at 4800 metres on Chimborazo. We managed to buy hats and gloves locally but you might want to take your own.
This is an excellent trip for the moderate walker. It combines fantastic scenery in which to hike, a well informed, diligent and capable tour leader, excellent rural village accommodation with superb food and incredible local hospitality. The Picos de Europa is a beautiful region of Spain and rivals the better known ranges in Europe for scenery and grandeur. It is well worth the visit. The Hotel Torrecerredos is a perfect base from which to enjoy the daily hikes. It provides suitable rural hotel style accommodation but it also provides superb food, wine and hospitality. The local value for money was phenomenal, the last night night team meal in the Cafe Restaurant Cares was just 15 Euros for three huge courses with wine included.
As we scaled the summit of Macondiu we finally rose above the clouds. On an overcast day we had emerged into brilliant sunshine looking down on a sea of clouds with the peaks protruding like islands.
Alvaro Saiz was a superb group leader for this type of trip. He was concerned for the well-being of every member of the group and keen to ensure that everyone was safe and enjoying their holiday. He was well informed about the geology, flora, fauna, and history of the region and was able to share his knowledge with us. He was extremely diligent, working long hours to worry about the next day's weather and to consider the alternatives and fall-back plans if we should need them. He should go far.
I would highly recommend this trip.
One of the walks was ordinary. Like a woodland walk. Because of snow in the advertised walk we were told. But could have been a better alternative. Apart from that I would have given an excellent. Guide, Simon, accommodation and meals were all great, as were John and Jayne who looked after us.
Probably the trip to the Italian side with the views and wild flower meadows.
Excellent. Not only was he very knowledgeable, he could also tell a good joke. Natural leader and helped make the holiday. I am going to book the Tour of Mont Blanc next year, mostly because of his information about it and, of course, the taster I have had.
You need less clothes than you think!
Beautiful location in an unspoilt valley amongst the mountains of the Alpi Apuane and Apennines with a wide variety of walks possible to suit anyone from keen ramblers to the more adventurous. Accommodation is in a lovely farm estate with excellent home cooking, using much of their own produce, accompanied by their own most enjoyable light Sangiovese wine.
The panoramic view of the mountain ranges all around from the first summit we climbed. The final day spent climbing Tuscany's highest mountain.
Sara was an absolute star organising, guiding and caring for us, enabling us to achieve our aims in safety, comfort and good spirits. She was also a fount of knowledge about the area and everything we might want to do.
If you like walking through woodland up to mountain ridges and enjoy beautiful scenery do not hesitate to choose this trip.
