Tim Stephens was a great tour leader, very professional and organised as well as very patient. It also helped that we had outstanding weather.
The hiking was outstanding with good paths and routes and amazing views.
Great guy who was unassuming but always knew what needed to be done and communicate it well. His excellent photos were a bonus.
Mixed walks along the stunning French Riviera coastline coupled with visits to some of the most famous gardens in the region. Opportunity to learn about the history of the area and a must for garden lovers. Warm enough to swim in peaceful Med sea in October. Menton, the resort were stayed throughout our trip, retains the atmosphere of genteel aristocratic tourism. The Italian influence is strong as the town is just a few kilometres from the Italian border. Most of the restaurants serve Italian food.
Every time we turned a corner to see another beautiful view of the Med, the coastline and the azure sky. The visit to the Ephrussi villa and garden owned by Beatrice Rothschild early last century with its 18th century interior and immaculate gardens with the sea on either side stood out.
Gee was amazing from start to finish - friendly, informed and very helpful with walking techniques. She always went the extra mile. For example, she joining our group every night for dinner even though the dinners were not part of the trip.
Just go! This is possibly the most beautiful of the 10 or so walking holidays I've been on in Southern Europe (not all with Exodus). Take your walking sticks and a good pair of walking boots. Part of one walk and the walk on the last day were down tricky rocky slopes which were too difficult for me and I think more difficult than the Level 2 of the trip. The guide arranged for those of us who didn't want to join the difficult walks a way back on the bus. This did not detract from my overall delight with the trip.

The wild Algarve and its people are wonderful! The hikes along the high cliffs were truly gorgeous and inspiring. We love learning about the places we travel in, which is why we keep returning to Exodus for tours. The leaders made frequent stops along our walks to explain about geology, history and even the arts of the area, including why the music genre of Fado was so important during the rule of Portugal’s dictator (when we were looking at a town’s murals of a singer).
Meeting the people of Portugal, especially all the interesting and talented crafts people and artists who are keeping important traditions alive.
Both Rafael and Francisco were awesome! They were always patient and supportive. Francisco took many opportunities to stop and explain about the geology, history or the arts of the area, asking 'why is this important?' which really engages the listener. We learned so much about Portugal!
We only had 1 day of rain but were very glad we were prepared with rain proof ponchos (be sure and check beforehand that your jacket is truly rain proof!). Be sure and train going up hills, there were some long climbs.
We had an excellent guide, a superb group of like minded travellers, very satisfactory accommodation (as described in the literature) and an extensive programme. Every day and every location was spot on.
Petra Wadi Rum and an evening in a beduoin-style camp Dead Sea The variety of historic and cultural locations.
Tip top Have already recommended him as a private guide to friends visiting Jordan next year.
Excellent guide. Good hotels. Good guides and transport.
Taormina, noto, and erice were all lovely.
Laura was very helpful, enthusiastic, and a good communicator. She was/is an excellent guide and we are both more than happy with how she treated us and helped the group.
Well organised trip with great tour leader and local guides.
Going up Mount Etna, the stay in Syracuse / Ortygia and Monreale
One of the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour leaders I have experienced. Got us laughing within minutes of the day starting.
Excellent trip, very well organised from start to finish by all involved, from booking queries, to the local company and Egyptologist and group leader.
Inas, our tour leader and Egyptologist was so knowledgeable, and so patient, making sure that everyone's needs were taken into account.
Inas was excellent, so organised, experienced, knowledgeable, informative, amd worked hard to ensure that everyone's needs were taken care of. She even organised special foods to be prepared so that we could taste Egyptian cuisine. She worked very hard and was always available should she be needed. I learnt so much on the trip and had a fabulous time
Our recent trip to Andalucía was nothing short of spectacular. Nestled in the heart of the countryside, I stayed at a rustic Cortijo that perfectly blended traditional charm with modern comfort. Surrounded by olive groves and rolling hills, the Cortijo offered a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views and a cozy, authentic atmosphere.
What truly elevated the experience was the cuisine. Every meal was a celebration of Andalusian flavors—fresh, vibrant, and deeply satisfying – each dish was crafted with care and passion.
Whether exploring nearby whitewashed villages, hiking through the Sierra Nevada, or simply relaxing under the stars with a glass of local wine, this trip was unforgettable.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking a soulful escape filled with beauty, flavor, and authentic Spanish hospitality.
Everything
Fantastic
Walking poles do come in quite handy
I loved the itinerary! We saw so much in Namibia and Botswana. The wild camping was very memorable in the Okavango Delta. The lodge in Etosha National Park was special as we were walking distance to a waterhole and saw rhinos and leopards! We saw all of the Big 5 on the trip. The sand dunes were a highlight as well. I felt extremely safe as a solo female traveler on the trip. Everything was outstanding on the trip, and very well done. I also loved the group and sharing the experience with like-minded people.
Climbing a sand dune in the Namibian desert! I felt very connected to nature, and it was a unique experience.
Omumborombonga was an exceptional guide! He was super knowledgeable regarding history and wildlife. There was not a question he didn't know the answer to. He made us all feel safe and taken care of, and truly cared about us having a memorable adventure. I enjoyed getting to know him, and seeing Namibia through his eyes.
The drives are long, but it is worth it! You will see a lot. Not the best roads and will be very bumpy at times. Bring nausea bands or pills if you get motion sickness. No red, yellow or white clothing allowed when camping in the Delta and especially on the safari walks. You don't need to pack too much! There is laundry service at the hotel in Swakopmund. ATMS are widely available on the trip. Rands are not accepted in Botswana.
