A great trip with stunning scenery.Long days short nights.
The view from Grand col Ferret.The camaraderie of the group members.
Rupert was very knowledgeable about the local flora & fauna,customs & food.He tried hard to keep together a group of differing fitness levels & was always encouraging everyone.
A good level of fitness is required & be prepared for very basic levels of accommodation in the hotel dormitories'.Keep your rucksack as light as you can.
I had the time of my life on my cycling trip to Croatia. Some of the cycling was challenging, especially in the July heat, but the beauty and variety of Croatia, the organisational skills of our great guide Ana, the lovely food and friendly people made for a holiday which had a true feelgood factor.
Cycling through the vineyards and down amazing coastal roads with unbeatable views of clear turquoise water, and smelling the lavender and rosemary as we whizzed by. Followed by a lovely cold beer and a bit of banter. One of the days when we had lovely cycling, followed by lunch (amazingly sophisticated home made cheeses and meats, desserts and grappa) under a vine-covered café in the mountains, then later an amazing dinner in an agroturism restaurant in the country with their home grown food and wine. The islands were really special, and not all spoiled by mass tourism.
Went the extra mile for her group, shared her favourite places with us. Full of energy, and did everything she could to make sure that we had the very best time possible, including running down the street to buy us crisps to have with our beers!
Be aware that July is incredibly hot, and if you aren't really fit and/or don't do well in the heat, then it may not be the best time to do this cycling trip, May/June or September would probably be better. And though the holiday is graded moderate, some of the hills are challenging. You can go on the support bus at times (as I did) but get into training first.
The holiday did not disappoint in any way. The views are absolutely stunning and far exceeded my expectations. We felt that we had a great chance to see a good deal of the peninsula. It was an excellent location leading off in all directions.
The first day when we reached the saddle and saw the view down to Positano was just fantastic. Also, leaving Positano by boat and seeing, when the boat took us back to Amalfi, where we had walked over the week was excellent.
He was very knowledgeable and sociable and handled his group very well.
Be prepared for the 2000 steps. Everyone suffered with stiff muscles in the days following.
Really interesting trip to two beautiful countries.
I picked this trip because I thought it sounded really interesting, and it was. To be honest I'd only really heard of Sarajevo and Mostar before I went, and that was because of the war, but there's so much more to the countries than this recent conflict, the scars of which can still be seen in those cities. We saw some beautiful towns, scenery, mosques and museums. Swimming in the waterfall pool at Kravica was definitely a highlight, it's pretty cold but when will you ever get the chance to do that again?! Watching the brave/crazy guys jumping from the bridge in Mostar is something to behold! The lunches with the local families in Lukomir and Zabljak were also a highlight and something you don't get on many holidays. Plus the food was delicious. We also had some amazing thunderstorms in the mountains, which made us feel less guilty about spending our free afternoon watching Andy Murray win Wimbledon! Oh and it's fun to get the local buses and trams in Sarajevo and Dubrovnik.
Anaid was great. He always seemed to have things under control - if there were any organisational problems I didn't see them. This is definitely the right job for him, he's very chatty and outgoing, and knowledgeable about the countries' current conditions, and recent and older history. It was also very moving and interesting to hear about his and his family's experiences during the recent Balkan Wars. Our driver Suleyman was great, getting the minibus safely up and down some twisty mountain roads.
Take euros from the start. If you arrive, as we did, on the flight that gets in at lunchtime you are likely to go to a restaurant in Bosnia for lunch before departing for Kotor; this restaurant we went to takes euros. You can spend euros in some parts of Bosnia as well as Montenegro, apart from in Sarajevo where it's banned. For the walks, you can do them in good trainers, boots aren't really needed. And take a cagool - see thunderstorms comment! Also do take a water bottle - the tap water is drinkable. We got into Dubrovnik at about 4pm on the Saturday and a couple of us went off straight away to walk round the walls and old town before dinner, as the walls closed at 7.30pm. I'd definitely recommend that as there's not much time in the morning before you have to leave for the airport. You spend two nights everywhere except Sarajevo (3) and Dubrovnik (1) so there's time to settle and the hotels are good, especially the Hotel Bristol in Sarajevo!
The ‘Haute Route’ through the mountains of France and Switzerland is a fantastic two weeks of spectacular scenery, some good old fashioned hard work and an indescribable sense of accomplishment. This part of the Alps has some of the best hiking I have ever experienced, with photos to last a lifetime. With an extremely competent and knowledgeable leader, and great hearty food every evening, you would be hard pressed to find yourself getting bored or going hungry on this trip. A brilliant holiday, which left many of my friends extremely envious, of both my pictures and my achievements.
We were looking for an active two week holiday that left on a specific date, was within budget and didn’t involve a long haul flight. We found the Tour de Mont Blanc trip on the Exodus website, loved the itinerary, saw there was availability and were booked on it within 24 hours of holiday searching! I would highly recommend this trip, despite some weather challenges we had the most wonderful time (summer hadn’t quite arrived yet so there was rain, hail and lots of snow to deal with). There were eight of us in the group and we were looked after by Nick, our excellent Group Leader. The scenery, when we saw it, was stunning. Fortunately we’ve signed up for similar holidays before so knew to come prepared for all extremes and we were so pleased we did. We were also really pleased to have booked to have a hotel room at the end of each day – this meant our clothes and day pack could dry out, plus we could have a lovely hot shower and sleep in a bed. All of the hotels were welcoming, comfortable and had all the facilities you needed after a long day of walking. The food was quite bread, cheese and chip based so we were missing fresh vegetables and fruit by the end of the two weeks.
Appreciating the distance we covered, the stunning views, visiting three countries, the fun people in our group, the places we stayed in, making it through all of the Cols despite the snow, the tram in St Gervais, the cable car in Chamonix, the flowers, the cow bells (now a ringtone), red wine, chocolate and the blue sky when it arrived! Sorry had to list more than one J
We were very impressed with Group Leader Nick. He took the time to answer all of our questions or find out the answer if he didn’t know. Nick made sure we had enough lunch each day and that he bought what we would like to eat. Nick made us feel confident in situations we were unused to such as walking in the snow and dealing with steep slopes. Words to describe Nick would be; good fun, very experienced, confident, relaxed and considerate about the group.
The trip notes do explain that this is a moderate to challenging walk – the days can be quite long and you do ascend and descend some quite steep slopes. We personally found a walking pole very useful especially when dealing with the snow on the side of a mountain. Worth getting fit beforehand as a reasonable level of fitness is required. For those that like gadgets that need charging up – Switzerland has a different adapter to France and Italy!
This trip was exceptional from the start to finish, the planning, preparation and execution of the whole program was carried out in a very professional manner, the Chalet was without doubt a bonus as it allowed the different nationalities within the group to meld together and become one happy family, the mother and father of which was without doubt Jayne and John who ran a tight but very friendly operation, their work while being unobtrusive made the stay a memorable one. As for the walks they were exceptional, the views fantastic and route selection just right for the variety of group members on the trek.
All of the walks throughout the week were inspirational made better by a group that was fun and interesting to be with, we cannot really pick one walk over an other but would say that all were just about right. The day off not only allowed some deserved rest but let us visit the heights of "Aiguille du Midi" which took us to another level of fantastic and I would recommend that anyone doing this trek make time to visit the viewpoint and see the spectacular sights.
Ian Fleming was our guide and proved to the group why he is an International Mountain Leader, his knowledge, skills and overall professionalism were evident throughout the trek while he was approachable and fun to be around. Ian made the trek a memorable one with a selection of routes that were interesting, accessible by all within the group while giving us a flavour of what the Alps have to offer..
Do the trip and enjoy yourself.
I have wanted to see those National Parks for quite a few years. So glad I finally did! It’s amazing how much we actually managed to see and do in those two weeks. So many highlights. Highly recommend it.
One of the highlights for me was definitely Angel's Landing. Just the views from up there, looking all the way down to where we just came from. Loved it. Bryce Canyon was also just so beautiful. First trying to take in the actual size of it from the viewpoints (impossible) and then exploring it on the trails. I also did the helicopter flight over Grand Canyon. Yes, it's quite expensive but it was worth it. The pilot was really good and informative as well. Highly recommend it!
Our group leaders were Diane and Anita. It's quite a privilege to have two guides, especially on the hikes. One would be in front and the other behind the group so nobody was left behind. I'm really glad we had Anita as one of our guides. She was just so laid back, always in a good mood, helpful and could answer all our questions. She had really good people skills.
Obviously have some water bottles that you can refill all the time if you don't have a camelback/watersystem. You have access to water at every campsite and visitor centre. At a couple of the campsites you need quarters for the shower. All campsites felt really safe so we just left our phones and batteries to be charged at the restrooms.
A brilliant holiday full of fun, breathtaking views, exercise & laughter galore. Ian, our leader, was full of knowledge & anecdotes & had us laughing all the way. John & Jayne, our hosts, went out of their way to help in every way possible & their cooking was superb. All in all I felt very spoilt & had a most memorable holiday, thank you to all of you during that week.
The people I was with during the week.
Ian was adorable. Fun to be with, knowledgable, knew when to give me a helping hand on the descents. Giggles galore. Can they get any better than that?
Walking poles!
