Tour du Mont Blanc Camping Trek

I have done a number of treks and Tour du Mont Blanc has to be one of the best. The trip was well organised and a lot of thought had gone into the length of the walking days and transport. The walking guide was brilliant – very knowledgeable and supportive and interacted well with everyone. The chef was fantastic and prepared wonderful meals which were varied and high quality.

Most Inspirational Moment

The amazing views, the great food, the people on the trip and the fantastic guide and chef.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Hristian was knowledgeable and very supportive of the whole group. He made time to speak to everyone and if someone was struggling he was there to help. He gave us lots of relevant information about the history and geography of the area. He was good fun and socialised with everyone.

Discover the Baltics

Superb itinerary and route with many varied interests catered for. Good length of trip. Good transport. Bob was an absolutely brilliant guide. He brought history to life with his narrative and personal stories.

Most Inspirational Moment

The guided city tours were excellent. Lots of knowledge from all the guides and well presented. Trakai Castle was also a stand-out site.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Bob was excellent. He was easy to understand, extremely knowledgeable and brought a personal touch to the narratives which was great. He was approachable, always available if needed and very helpful. He always made sure that everyone was happy with what was happening and that everyone knew exactly what to expect and what to do. Absolutely wonderful!

Trip of a lifetime

An African safari has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. This has been an incredible and unforgettable adventure. This tour was full of so many special and memorable moments. It surpassed anything I could have imagined.

Most Inspirational Moment

So many! So hard to choose just one. From the incredible wildlife, even along the roadside (elephants, zebra, kudu, giraffe and many more), giving everyone a boost, particularly on some long drive days, or stopping to let them cross – LOL! To being so close to a baby rhino, a male lion or elephants (to name a few). It has been an absolute privilege to see so many wild animals roaming free in their natural environment. And so many different birds – I never realised! Seeing them all co-existing in their natural habitats. Amazing memories that will last a lifetime!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ado (our group leader) – a fountain of knowledge. His energy, infectious enthusiasm, and passion for these countries and wildlife created an unforgettable adventure. He went above & beyond, accommodating individual requests & dietary requirements without hesitation. Nothing was too much trouble. Ado & Sifiso (our driver) made an exceptional team, working tirelessly to ensure we had the best time and remained safe. Sifiso incredibly kept us on schedule over extremely broken roads, always smiling.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do not underestimate how cold the early morning game drives are (if going in July) – take layers, including a warm jacket, gloves, hat, etc. These can easily be removed once it starts to warm up. Roads can be very dusty too when out in the jeeps – a buff is very useful. Recommend taking small US$ notes ($1 & $5), particularly for Zimbabwe – these small notes are not easy to get whilst there, so recommend buying before you go, as very useful for tipping, etc. You can also change up to local currency whilst in Botswana. But US$ notes are accepted widely. If you are considering this tour, just book it, you won’t regret it!

Trek the GR20 of Corsica

The GR20 in Corsica is spectacularly beautiful and wild. It was an amazing adventure to trek along its length.

Most Inspirational Moment

To see the amazing sights of the GR20. The guide, Maxime Beaux, was outstanding and really helped our group stay safe and have a great time. It was a wonderful experience and one which I will remember for ever as a highlight.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Maxime is a fantastic mountain guide. Our group had a number of members who struggled in the mountains and on rock. He managed to get us all thought the trip safely. He is outstanding.

Costa Rica Family Escape

Fun! Well organized. It was fun to travel other same age kids and engage in a variety of activities. The trip was well suited to older kids and adults.

Most Inspirational Moment

White water rafting, zip lining and the boat trip to see dolphins and enjoy water play. The restaurants selected by the guide were excellent!

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was very helpful, informative and friendly.

Hidden gem

This is an unspoilt and spectacular area which surprisingly is still very accessible and close to Alicante. The hiking is lovely with great views and variety. Except for one descent which is slightly trickier, all the walks are quite doable for a fit person. The accomodation is boutique, authentic and personalised with lovely food. The guide Jose is outstanding. It’s his business and he is passionate about the region. He is knowledgeable, good fun and an excellent communicator. This was the perfect trip for us in February and I would highly recommend it.

Great introduction to the enigmatic and historic state of Mongolia

A good mix of temples and monasteries, natural wonders, traditional lifestyles, and everyday modern life.
The gers were fine, even the more basic ones, as were the hotels. It was good to have the option of en-suite bathrooms in some, which made things easier for my wife. Several other group members would have take up tthis option if they had known about it, although Duuree did well to arrange them on the fly.
The drivers were all good, some better than others obviously, and presented an interesting variety of characters and styles. Special shout-out to Oggi. The cars were comfortable recent-model Lamd Cruisers, not just “jeeps”, which is just as well because there is a LOT of driving.

Most Inspirational Moment

The Naadam Festival was, of course, a highlight, but it is the grand open landscapes, dotted with gers, that will stay with me. And, funnily enough, the sky and the endlessly changing cloud formations.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Duuree was a great guide, dealing with day-to-day activities and the odd emergency with aplomb. Her English is excellent, and she was very thoughtful, inclusive, accommodating and iinformative, and a bundle of energy to the end. She dealt with us vegetarians very well (the food was not very exciting, but that's not Duuree's fault). The WhatsApp group was very active.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If I had to criticize, I would maybe say: too much food! Most peple didn't want Ior need a huge lunch as well as a big breakfast and dinner, but when food is put in front of you it's hard to pick at it and waste if. Too much food can be off-putting and awkward.The best lunches were the picnic-style ones. In particular, the long trek through crowds to the Japanese restaurant during Nadaam was a mistake, most people agreed. The vegetarian options were generally pretty boring and repetitive (and protein-free!), but that was not Exodus' fault. The other thing - a pet peeve - is that I was disappointed with the take-up of refillable water containers. Despite the constant availability of water refills, a lot people still used little plastic bottles, and many were distributed at mealtimes too.

Unforgettable adventure

The itinerary was well-balanced, and the landscapes were breathtaking. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the local wildlife in their natural habitat

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader Agustín Toro was super knowledgeable, friendly, and always took great care of everyone.

Advice for Potential Travellers

"I recommend doing some high-altitude hiking practice and aerobic training in advance. Keep an optimistic and open mindset to fully enjoy each day of the journey!"
