Scenery and the overall experience with the chalet.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent leader, made us feel safe, encouraged and patient with the group. She integrated with us well which really made the trip.
Highlights of Portugal
The variety of places visited was excellent as were the different activities. ‘Highlights of Portugal’ trip is an excellent way to get a taste of northern Portugal and the culture, history and food. We were led by an expert guide Carla who really helped make our overall trip experience excellent. The driver of the bus was good getting us to places.
Most Inspirational Moment
The day we visited the Douro, the drive there and stopping off at the little station to look at the blue tiles which Carla explained - she even bought us a traditional sweet in the village to have on the next stage of our journey. The picnic in an idyllic setting at the vineyard, the explanation of making port and port tasting. The short river cruise also added to what was an idyllic day. The visit to learn about and hear Fado in Coimbra was also very enjoyable.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We were so lucky to have Carla as our leader. She was always cheerful, kept us together as a group while out visiting places and also was extremely vigilant about safety particularly in busy trafficked areas as well as personal safety, keeping backpacks at the front rather than on our backs. Carla clearly loves her country and was keen to share this with us telling us about the history and culture of Portugal.

Sicily Food & Wine
I loved the pace of the Sicily tour. 7 days was a perfect amount of time to experience the island. Francesco was friendly and informative, and made us fall in love with Sicily.

Mount Etna was a real highlight, especially the additional excursion to the summit (or nearly to the summit).

Francesco was awesome. He made our trip so much fun and taught us heaps about Sicily.
Highlights of Turkey
A very well organised trip exceptionally well run by Haydar the tour guide.
Most Inspirational Moment
The splendour of the archaeological sites
Thoughts on Group Leader
Haydar was an exceptional tour guide. Nothing seemed too much trouble to make sure we were happy. Genuinely interested in everyone's health and welfare. Always made sure we were drinking enough water and fastening our seats belts. A wicked sense of humour whatever situation. Extensive international experience. Superb organisation and reorganisation skills when required. Provide multiple toilet/food/pharmacy stops for those of us in need. An excellent communicator.
Very interesting and informative trip
We normally go on walking holidays with Exodus, but due to a current mobility problem we chose this culture experience instead. It proved to be very interesting and informative and gave a valuable experience of everyday life in the region. We were particularly surprised to learn of how hard and restricted life was when the area was under soviet control. It made us realise how lucky we are to live a free life in the UK.

The short walk through the Hill of Witches; The visit to the decommissioned nuclear missile silo; The visit to the KGB HQ;
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader Andrius Mazrimas was excellent. Probably the best we have ever had and we have been on over 20 Exodus trips! He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He had a great sense of humour and and made the trip very enjoyable. He clearly loved his job and imparted his enthusiasm on everyone. We all finished the trip considering him a good friend and it would be great to see him again.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Some hotels lacked washbasin plugs, take a rubber sink plug with you.

Fantastic in Every Way - You Must Do This Ride!
Why isn’t the southwest coast of Portugal talked about worldwide as a gorgeous destination? The scenery was spectacular day after day. This trip, just completed yesterday (Sept 13, 2026) was easily one of the best cycling trips we’ve ever taken. Our guide João Colaço and support man-of-many-skills Vitor delivered a perfect, memorable experience with every minute detail organized and managed with forethought and professionalism. The riding had its challenges, and I would encourage anyone waffling between e-bike or regular bike to opt for the ebike, which made the climbs very comfortable. Our e-bikes were the best e-bikes we have ever ridden, with ample power and comfort, while taking a beating on some of the gravel roads. The food, organized by João and Vitor, was as amazing as you might imagine, from fresh fish to octopus to lamb, shellfish, and fruits and pastries. Accommodations were lovely and uncrowded, all locally owned and very charming. João’s daily briefings included expectations for the next day as well as updates on weather and wind, and cultural and historical notes. He has a vast knowledge of Portuguese history and culture and entertained us with his orientations to all the local spots. He and Vitor are truly exceptional guides, and I can’t commend them highly enough.

Thoughts on Group Leader
Outstanding in every way! Organized, detail-oriented, quite skilled at leading cyclists in a group across some challenging terrain. Very knowledgeable about Portuguese history, culture and geography. Excellent command of English. Very charming and funny.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The terrain has its challenges from some steep climbs to gravel, sandy paths. If you’d rather not dread the climbs, opt for the ebike. It made all the difference for us, turning the cycling into endless pleasure rather than anxiety over the next ascent.
