I love Exodus! Every trip I’ve been on has been fun and well-organised, with great office support and fabulous in-country guides.
Seeing beautiful Mont Blanc had to be the highlight! I enjoyed every day though - a great itinerary with challenging walks. The group was so nice and our guide was fantastic.
Great leader - fostered a really positive, fun atmosphere, whilst making sure everyone was safe and supported.
Wonderful trip guide. Lovely accommodations. Outstanding cuisine. The best group of fellow explorers.
The culture and awesome scenery both when on the move and when hiking.
Outstanding and capable young man
The hotel staff were lovely. Roberta our walks leader was exceptional, she had high knowledge of the local area, culture, routes and was very genuine in her commitment to ensuring a high quality and safe experience. She was also very warm and funny. The other leaders of accompanying groups were also great and approachable. The hotel was really nice and away from all the crowds on amalfi.
The group was excellent and I didn't feel marginalised or left out going solo. It was nice however to meet other solos in the group, though everyone came together and was friendly. Eating together as a group really helped with this. I enjoyed all the walks very much and tours to interesting places like Ravello, pompei and the volcano. I especially enjoyed the path of gods. It was a busy week, so I enjoyed the day off.
I think Roberta was outstanding and we were very privileged to have her. I think she will prove a hard act to follow on a similar trip.
I’ve really enjoyed both trips I have done with Exodus – the mixture of local expertise and interesting companions makes for a fantastic break. I like the mixture of couples and singles, I like the smooth organisation of the trips, I like the interesting and beautiful places I have visited.
Loads of them! The night sky and empty landscapes at Weltevrede. Sand dunes and learning a bit about the geology of the area. Seeing humpback whales off the boat at Swakopmund. Amazing landscapes of ancient dried riverbeds. Game drives where I saw far more rhinos than I could ever have hoped, plus elephants and lions and cheetahs and leopards. There are too many highlights!
Shane came across as a really nice guy - he was fun to be around, knowledgeable, a great driver and he clearly has a great working relationship with the folk at the lodges and guest houses we stayed at which I think really paid off for us.
I was travelling as an Exodus Staff Member: This trip is the perfect balance of a short break that feels like you have been away for a month, in a good way. You are completely at one with nature and in the wild, the days are demanding and you are often leaving at 0730 each day and not getting back until around 1630/1700. You have a long time on your feet with big ascents and descents, all whilst surrounded by incredible mountains. I went the first week of September and we had a mixture of weather, which really gave us the full hiking experience, instead of being upset that it was raining with zero visibility, you were happy to be out in the elemensta and conquering cols. You will have switchbacks for breakfast and sore legs for dinner, however, if you are up for a challenge and enjoy the outdoors, good food and comradery then this trip is absolutely for you! 1 peiece of advise, pack light, and then if you think you have packed light enough, pack even lighter than that!
Reaching the top of the Col de Tricot, you have a cup of coffee at a refuge at the botom and just get to look at the challenge that lays ahead, that was such a fun day with a great sense of achievemnt. I loved the walks that were quieter, but you can't not add the walk up to Lac Blanc here in the highlights, the views are breathtaking and it was made even better by the fact that we hadn't yet seen Mont Blanc in all her glory until the clouds cleared when we reached Lac Blanc, it was quite something.
Adrian was fantastic, he has a very relaxed and calming aura. It's clear he is a very talented hiker/mountaineer and he balanced the groups ability fantastically, ensuring that no one felt left out, left behind, or held back. He really made a good week great. He picked an outstanding restaraunt as our final meal too which was the cherry on top.
You get barely any time in Chamonix, as to complete the full tour in a week your days are long. If you did want to enjoy Chamonix or even visit the QC Terme spa in Chamonix (a great way to end a tough week), then I would reccomend booking a post night and staying another day.
Excellent week. Fully met my expectations. Exodus trips can take you to places you wouldn’t normally get to.
Getting to know Albania!
Aryan worked tirelessly to ensure that the expectations of everyone were met. Sensitive to the needs of each group member
We had a wonderful group of 16 riders led by our excellent guide Dinis, assisted by Philippe and our driver Tomas. All three worked very well together and provided excellent service and support to we 16 riders.
Completing a challenging hill ride on the last day.
Dinis did an excellent job.
Make sure when offered you sign up for the lunch package where you contribute towards a common Kitty and the staff purchase and prepare some of the meals and pay for other meals in restaurants that they've chosen for you. It's well worth it!
Great scenery, well selected hikes, great guides, nice hotel. Overall a great vacation!
But……..
Mark and Jenny did great work, adjusted for weather and capabilities of hikers. Some of the guests needed more assistance and they did not hesitate to accommodate them. Well done!
This trip uses public transportation for getting to/from our hikes. The busses are crowded, late, and don’t seem to follow any specific schedule. We were left standing on some occasions, gave up and walked on others, and had to push and shove to get on and off every time. This aspect of the vacation is unacceptable and I unfortunately can’t recommend the trip unless it is changed to private transportation.
This was our first cycling trip with Exodus and it was excellent. The trip was well-organized and everything from the guiding (with head guide Dinis accompanied with Tomas and Philippe), cycling, food and accommodation was great. We rented e-bikes which I would recommend for inexperienced cyclists given some of the hills involved. Apart from a couple of minor planning glitches which Dinis quickly resolved, the tour was advertised. We usually ate together as a group of 16 and bonded quickly. Weather was perfect for early September apart from a bit of drizzle and some wind on a day or two.
Experiencing Portugal directly especially more rural, coastal areas.
Dinis was a great group leader who communicated well and kept on top of things. We were well briefed daily on what to expect and Dinis suggestions for restaurants were all good.
WhatsApp was used to harmonize communications so it is worth familiarizing yourself with it.
This trip had a great mix of trekking and learning about Peruvian culture and Inca history. The views were incredible and there are so many Inca sites along the way. The food was an absolute standout!
Finally reaching the Sun Gate and seeing Machu Picchu for the first time was a moment I will never forget. It's been a dream of mine for many years and I can finally say I've been there. It is also a big reward after a tough 7 day trek. A special mention for the incredible meals prepared by the chefs on the trek. Wilbur and Antonio never served the same dish twice and always made sure they took everyone's dietary requirements into consideration.
Edwind was the best leader. He was extremely patient, calm (even when you werent), funny and professional. He paid close attention to the health and safety of the entire group and the Oxygen checks became the most anticipated event of the day. I thought that he managed the expectations of the group really well and allowed people to trek at their own pace. His knowledge about the Inca society is incredible, he is truly a treasure!
The weather can change at any time. I went during dry season and it rained pretty much everyday. Pack extra waterproof clothing and make sure you waterproof your kit bag and backpack. Walking poles are essential, and you may want earplugs as campsites can be noisy with barking dogs - or a 24hr Peruvian party.
