India Tiger Safari

Tour was well organised and our tour leader Vijay was excellent

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing a tiger in the wild was amazing, and we had 3 excellent sightings - saw 9 in total. The elephant sanctuary was also great - we all really enjoyed it.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vijay was a great leader. He was enthusiastic about everything & very knowledgeable about the tigers and birds. Very friendly & very organised. Always tried to ensure everyone was ok.

Wonderful holiday

What an amazingly beautiful country Jordan is. I would encourage anyone to visit. The tour took in a wide range of activities- history and religion, beautiful vistas and walks, local experience such as a hammam and meal with family (many were concerned this may feel exploitive but in truth you dinned as you would in a restaurant and was a nice alternative) . The drive round the desert was breathtaking, and sitting by a camp fire as the skies darkened in Wadi Rum memorable. The tour was not unduly fast paced allowing for down time – which for me is essential as a break from work. Jordan felt safe and welcoming – sadly empty because of conflict that doesn’t really touch Jordan (for tourists ) despite its proximity – so both wonderful to have places like Petra to oneself (almost) but heartbreaking to see the impact on a country and it’s people.

Most Inspirational Moment

The whole trip was one inspiring moment after the other, so hard to have a highlight. A varied well paced tour with lots of different activities - but optional extras could be declined if so wished by any traveller, allowing you to tailor your trip to your preferences.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Amer , couldn't have been better. His passion and love for his country shone through as he shared his stories and history about all of the sites we visited. He integrated into the group so well, putting a bunch of strangers at their ease and facilitating the group's cohesion. I particularly liked that he would share his knowledge and insight of a place and then allow us to explore in our own time - so you could do something at your pace and choice without feeling you were on a school outing. He encouraged us to remember our fellow travelers and that each of us would want different things and go at different paces. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would encourage a visitor to arrive a day early to enjoy wandering round the markets in Amman (hotel well placed in downtown for this). If you are debating whether to go or not - do book - you won't regret it! Don't pack binoculars - they will hold up your luggage, may be confiscated or held by hotel whist you stay. More hassle then its worth

India Tiger Safari

Very well organised. Great locations, food and very knowledgeable and helpful guide. The weather was perfect and everything went according to plan.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the tiger in all the parks. Sometimes it was only a glimpse of one. Learning about the jungle and being in it was quite an experience.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very helpful. Always available. Very patient and polite.

A fascinating and enlivening adventure

In a couple of action packed weeks we were able to experience the extraordinary variety of the Vietnamese landscape and culture, including beautiful coastal and mountain vistas, lively cities, colourful and inspiring temples, historic sites, engaging cultural events and wonderful food.

Most Inspirational Moment

Sailing for a day and a night through the breathtaking vistas of Ha Long Bay in a luxurious boat exclusive to our group, like a private yacht!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Huy Nguyen was a knowledgeable, engaging and highly efficient guide and organiser, who brought the places we visited to life, but on top of that he added a very special personal touch, in that he was alert to the needs of every individual in the group and went out of his way to respond positively to the specific requirements of individuals and to reassure individuals who were worried.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for very hot weather and (when we were there in November): very heavy rain

Highlights of Ancient Greece

The expedition was simply wonderful and passed all expectations. The Guide was so knowledgeable – dates and places and people at her finger tips and such a lovely person. She also told us much about Greece and Greek society. She organised everything so well. I had long wanted to see these sites and learned far more than I expected to and extended my thinking on how we all live as a human race. Food was usually fresh and interesting and hotels fine everywhere

Most Inspirational Moment

Nestor's Palace near Pylos found in the Odyssey and I think Epidaurus.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Stefania was a wonderful guide - she knew so much "off the top of her head". Always interesting with history so well conveyed. Very lucky to have her on our trip

A True Taste of South Korea

This trip was amazing from start to finish! It was such a great mix of culture, history, food, and scenery – every day felt different and full of new experiences.

South Korea really surprised me with how diverse it is. From busy Seoul to quiet temples and mountain hikes, there was so much to take in. The trip was pretty full-on at times, and I’d have loved a bit more free time in Seoul or Busan to explore on my own, but overall it flowed really well.

Most Inspirational Moment

The DMZ visit was incredibly powerful and gave real perspective on Korea’s history. The Haeinsa Temple stay was a standout — peaceful, authentic, and something I’ll never forget. I also loved the Seoraksan National Park hike, with gorgeous views and a nice balance of challenge and relaxation. Busan was another favourite spot with its fun, coastal vibe and great food.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Michelle was absolutely brilliant. She made everything run smoothly, always had interesting stories to share, and really brought the places to life. You could tell she cared about everyone having the best experience possible. Her energy, humour, and local knowledge made a huge difference - we were so lucky to have her!

Advice for Potential Travellers

A fantastic trip packed with variety, great food, beautiful places and an awesome guide. I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a real taste of South Korea. My advice: bring comfy shoes, try every bit of street food you can, and add an extra day in Seoul or Busan to explore at your own pace.

Discovering the Heart of Portugal with Carla

Portugal was a delight from start to finish—vibrant cities, charming villages, and breathtaking landscapes. Each day offered something new to discover, from the winding streets of Lisbon to the rolling vineyards of the Douro Valley. The mix of history, culture, and natural beauty made this journey truly unforgettable.

Most Inspirational Moment

Touring the streets of Porto was an experience we'll never forget. The colourful tiled buildings, the rhythm of daily life along the Douro River, and the sampling of roasted chestnuts from local stands created a magical atmosphere. We loved watching the city come alive at sunset.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our tour leader, Carla, was the heart of the trip. Her professionalism, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge of Portugal’s culture and history made every stop come alive. She was organized, adaptable, and always attentive to everyone’s needs—ensuring we were safe, included, and having fun. By the end, our group felt more like a circle of friends than fellow travellers.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you’re considering Portugal with Exodus, don’t hesitate! Bring comfortable walking shoes for cobblestone streets and good rain gear, especially in autumn. With an open mind and Carla’s expert guidance, you’ll enjoy an incredible journey filled with warmth, discovery, and lasting memories.

A wonderful week

Great guide, great itinerary

Advice for Potential Travellers

Active Galapagos: Trails & Marine Life

Gd communication. Clear and interesting itinerary. Guides were all excellent ensuring the group gelled and had needs met

Most Inspirational Moment

Swimming with sea turtles

Thoughts on Group Leader

Wilson was exceptional. His knowledge and humour were first class. He very rarely didn't know an answer but if that was the case he would find out. He was sociable and met the needs of a small but diverse group. He worked hard to ensure we were all safe and happy. He filmed so much of the wildlife we saw underwater and shared it with us. He pointed out things that we wouldn't have noticed or seen without his very keen eye.

Discover northern Portugal - Premium Adventure

Our tour was everything we expected and more! Our guide was organized, articulate and passionate about Portugal and all the areas the tour brought us to. She was responsive to individual travelers preferences, while always keeping the group excited and involved. Teresa was a joy to be with and we hope to travel with her again!

Most Inspirational Moment

The hotels were nice and our tour felt intimate, in particular the trip on the lagoon and the visit to Angelo's farm. Memories were built around fresh seabass, grilled to perfection while visiting the salt beds, we learned not only the history of Portugal but also got to know its people.

Thoughts on Group Leader

We loved Teresa! She was kind, thoughtful and in love with her country. The enthusiasm she shared was infectious and her attention to us appreciated, in particular she made us feel special. Not only did she share information, if she did not know something in detail, she would spend the evening researching and finding new insights about the topics we had discussed that day. We felt cared for throughout the tour.
