This is our second trip with exodus and like the first was top class with good organisation and great activities
Taj Mahal at sunset Camel cart ride Cycle rickshaw through old Delhi Hindu ceremony
Jitan was a fabulous coordinator - we knew exactly what we were doing and when and he used WhatsApp to follow up on arrangements. He was very helpful in sourcing things the group needed.
Well organised tour, with a great variety of highlights from scenic Wadi Rum to Petra and Jarash.
Quoting a fellow traveller, 'every day was a highlight'. Due to the variety of sites visited and activities, impossible to chose one or two highlights. Entire trip was fantastic!
Amer is a first class guide; one of the best small group tour guides we have met. Well organised and an outstanding speaker; informative and engaging, talking to the group about the places we visited, the background stories and life in Jordan. We were a group of curious, like-minded travellers and Amer was always happy to answer our questions, even if they were about difficult subjects. I learnt a lot and gained a different perspective. The benefit of travelling.
The Annapurna Circuit was a wonderful trip. The scenery was superb and so varied. Our Lead Guide Sukman was absolutely great as were the support team of Lapka Sherpa,Dependra, and our team of young porters.
Every day of the trip had its unfolding highlights. As well as the stunning scenery, the friendship and support provided by Sukman and his support team was a highlight in itself.
We couldn't have wished for a better leader than Sukman.
We really enjoyed our holiday which was a super introduction to Mexico. It was a full on itinerary which we enjoyed. Our guide was excellent.
The whole trip was full of highlights
We have done many guided trips, some with Exodus and with other companies and Luis is by far the best. His knowledge and recall of dates was phenomenal as was his English. He was also thoughtful and kind with an extreme amount of patience given there were a couple of tricky travellers. Everything was extremely well organised.
The itinerary is designed to give their customers a taste of the real country, its culture and people, taking you to less touristy places. The trip notes are very accurate to ensure you book the right trip, the booking experience is excellent and the local guides are superb.
Cycling downhill through stunning scenery from the top of Ooty hill
Unflapple, nothing too much trouble, inclusive, sociable, a great advert for Exodus
Stunning trip. Taka, our guide, was just superb, and really helped make the trip as incredible as it was. Loved visiting all the different places, and using public transport
Taka, our guide! Matsumoto Hiroshima
She was just superb. Super calm in EVERY situation, but absolutely effective. Great sense of humour. Very clear and controlled. Managed people missing ferries and buses with grace and calm and her communication was brilliant in each of these scenarios. She looked after all of us in every circumstance. For me, she was a big part of why the trip was so brilliant.
This is our third trip with Exodus and as before it was well organised.
Seeing the highest mountain on earth.
Rajeev was a fantastic leader. He helped to reorganize the trip when the weather has unseasonal heavy rain. In fact we preferred how the trek went ahead as opposed to the original itinerary. It was a brilliant trip and Rajeev is fantastic.
What an excellent trip! The hikes varied in terrain and vistas, from coastal walks to levadas to mystical forests to mountain tops, but all were spectacular and each day was as good as or better than the one before. Paulo was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable about the island, its history, culture, flora and fauna. We were fortunate to have very good weather, and even more fortunate to have a group that gelled beautifully. Not only did everyone get along well, but everyone was fit and hiked at a similar pace. (We understand from other reviews that that’s not always the case.) First hotel in Machico was pretty dated, but good location and breakfast. The hotel at Porto Moniz was the best of the trip, modern, well-equipped, great food – and right across the road from volcanic pools. Very scenic. The hotel in Funchal was fine and in a great location.
How to choose? The first two walks which featured incredible sea views were hard to beat, but the sunrise from the peak of Pico Areiero may have topped them. Quite magical.
Paulo was terrific. He did a great job briefing us at the outset, and before the next day's hike, making sure that we had realistic expectations. He set up a WhatsApp group to share information and photos, and provided us with restaurant recommendations for the nights when we weren't eating at the hotel. He shared interesting information throughout each hike, and made sure that everyone was doing well.
Bring hiking poles, and be prepared for the challenges of the trip. Exodus does a good job of describing what the hikes involve; pay attention so that you make sure you're choosing the right trip for you. So long as you're relatively fit, you'll love this. Also, I was surprised that some reviewers complained about having to buy lunches from local supermarkets for their hikes. Really, that was no problem at all. We stopped at a local supermarket each morning as we set out - sometimes there were prepared sandwiches that you could purchase, sometimes not - but it was easy to pick up some fruit, power bars, trail mix and cheese that was perfect for hiking (you could get sliced meats and buns, too, if you wanted). Final tip: on your free day in Funchal, be sure to take the cable car to the top and tour the beautiful Tropical Gardens, then take the "toboggan" (wicker sleigh) ride down - it's unique to Madeira and good fun.
Had the most amazing time. Mohamed showed us a lot of fascinating places and explained the Moroccan way of life. He was an excellent tour guide. Some people had problems with their accommodations. Mohammed got these issues dealt with quickly and efficiently. Mohamed was enthusiastic, energetic, positive and very helpful. He explained everything very well. Kind, considerate, responsible! He is an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed the diversity of the country. Each day was another new and exciting adventure. We learned a lot. The riads were a true Moroccan experience and the hotels were also very nice. The Moroccans were polite, respectful, helpful and very friendly. We are truly are grateful to have had this experience in Beautiful Morocco. We enjoyed the small group experience and met nice people on our tour.
It was all amazing. A fantastic tour! We got to see so many parts of the country. Very unique and diversified. Dromedaries, Desert, Hamman, Atlas Mountains, Seeing Villages, Listening to local Musicians, Madenas!! Food was incredible! Hearing the call to prayer was a unique experience. Perfect itinerary. We also did a balloon ride on our free day. It was beyond anything we could have imagined.
He was beyond EXCELLENT! AMAZING!!
Bring something for diarrhea as many of the group had problems with this issue.
This was our first Exodus trip. We loved the group size (11) and its compatibility, mix of activities, and the incredible knowledge of the tour leader, Michael/Miguel. On most days we were out and about from 9 to 5. The terrain was lovely – hills and mountains surrounding rolling pastureland and olive farms. We saw and walked through so many white villages, and some of us took an extra 4 hour trip to Ronda, one of the most famous. The hiking was moderate. For me, the oldest by several years at age 75, it was at times tough because of the many ups and downs with the inclines occasionally too steep and long. The other 10 handled it with less trouble. Our tour leader, Michael/Miguel, knew everything about farming, geology, plants and animals and birds, and the history of the area. We all marveled at the extent of his knowledge! The farmhouse we stayed in was lovely with good food (the paella the last night was the best!), though the rooms lacked good lighting and the beds seemed a bit soft. This is a fun trip to go on for the activity, lovely scenery, and variety. We combined it with 2 days in Malaga and 4 in Granada and found every day rich and magical.
The hike in El Chorro gorge on the Caminito del Rey and walking through El Real Alcazaba, the royal palace, in Seville (tickets many in our group bought on their own for our day in Seville.)
He was excellent -- well organized and incredibly knowledgeable about everything -- plants, farming, geology, birds, animals, and human history.
You definitely need to be fit to do this trip. Be prepared for some challenging uphill stretches, fortunately not continuous. Since Exodus ranks hikes 1 through 7 not 1 through 5 I'd say that there are some parts of the hikes that are 3's not just 2's.
