The ultimate adventure

This is one of a kind trip which combines physical challenges, wild camping and the opportunity to understand the unique lifestyle of this amazing country. Although I have travelled extensively around the world, this trip has shown that there is so much more to explore out there. I have not done wild camping previously but I enjoyed the experience so much. Biking was at time challenging but also very rewarding. The scenery and the serenity of the landscape made us feel like we were living in biblical times. The team is outstanding, fun and able to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.

Most Inspirational Moment

One evening, 3 kids came on a motor bike to offer us curd. The entire group was moved beyond words.

Thoughts on Group Leader

One word - outstanding. Bata understand both western and Mongolian cultures and has a unique ability to manage what it is a fairly complex to organize trip.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't miss the opportunity to be part of this adventure before the country will eventually change.

Severio was a wonderful tour guide. Every experience far exceeded our expectations. Very helpful staff. We loved it!

Most Inspirational Moment

We loved Ravello and Capri. Also appreciated different modes of transportation (boat, van, open air bus)

Thoughts on Group Leader

Severio was amazing! So full of knowledge and had a wonderful way of connecting with each and every group member. From my nephew who had just turned 18 to the eldest members who were retired, Severio used his humor and personal stories to create relationships with all.

Mont Blanc Hiking Highlights

Loved the whole trip, the hikes were amazing, people were lovely.

Most Inspirational Moment

The hikes were all amazing, if I had to choose one it would be the gondola and the lake hike.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Chris was fantastic, great sense of humour, set the hikes at right pace, timed water breaks. Joined us for dinner and really helped the group to bond. Great knowledge of the area and talked about his own experiences which was very interesting. Helped get the World Cup on the TV, came out for a birthday drink. Happily answered all our questions

Mont Blanc Hiking Highlights

Had a great experience seeing the highlights of Mont Blanc. Accommodations exceeded my expectations, the hosts went above & beyond. Our guide Chris was knowledgeable and was accommodating to all hikers abilities. We had a great week learned so much about the region and will be recommending to friends & family.

Most Inspirational Moment

Accommodations were wonderful and itinerary was well thought out and accommodating to everyone’s ability

Well prepared with a thoughtful itinerary for the group socialized with everyone in the group. Offered suggestions for activities outside of hiking to make our stay more enjoyable.

Fantastic scenery and beautiful towns.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Roberta is a lovely, caring and enthusiastic person who ensured inclusion within the group.

Walking the Island of Madeira

Memorable experience, smooth operation and fantastic guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

The beauty of Madeira, was captured in the 8 day itinerary wonderfully. The best hike was Day 2 Walk to Ponta de Sao Lourenco and Day 3 coastal walk to Porto da Cruz.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Bruno was PERFECT. At the very first day, he set the right tone which was to enjoy the journey, and admire the surrounding views, in a relaxed pace. Bruno allowed everyone to hike at their own comfortable level while always keeping a close eye on the group. He moved from front to back ensuring all were safe and chatted with each person. Besides lunch stop, there were plenty of breaks where we could rest, and admire lovely views. It all felt very unhurried.

Unforgettable Journey

Machu Picchu and Galapagos.
This was an absolutely phenomenal trip. We went in April/May 2026 and we were fortunate to be in a group of 12 extremely friendly people. Everyone was very helpful to their fellow travellers.
As the tour details state, this is moderate level. It is not for the feint of heart (or lungs, muscles, stamina, etc.)…lol. You will be continually on the go. If you do not suffer from FOMO, then you could to take a couple of breaks from the group and relax. Otherwise, it’s a very active itinerary. You get to see so many things that you certainly would not see if you were to book something on your own. By staying at local accommodations, you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture.
The Inca Trail hike was a bit of a challenge for me, but everyone survived it and was very supportive of each other and their limitations. Machu Picchu was awe-inspiring and we were fortunate to be there on a sunny day. I loved the city of Cusco, with its many attractions. It’s small enough that you can walk and see many of the wonders available.
Quito was a bit of a short stay. It was great to see some of the local culture, and to enjoy the experience from our visit to the Equator.
Galapagos was on my bucket list, and I’d go back there in a heartbeat. By staying at hotels on the different islands, we were able to partake in some local culture after our daily excursions. Everything was very well organized, for boats, buses, planes, etc. etc. that we had to access. The wildlife in Galapagos is amazing. We got to see blue-footed boobies, frigate birds, sea turtles, stingrays, sharks, penguins…I could go on forever.
This was a remarkable tour and Exodus did an outstanding job of organizing such an incredible experience.

Most Inspirational Moment

Sighting of blue-footed boobies, and all of the wildlife in both countries.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ollie, our guide in Peru, ensured that everyone was kept well informed, and was fabulous at sharing his extreme knowledge on this guided tour. THANK YOU,OLLIE. You were wonderful as a tour leader. Our Galapagos tour guide, Richard, definitely kept us on our toes. The wildlife is amazing and Richard was very informative. It was great to see how considerate our guide was for the natural wildlife habitats.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would suggest arriving a couple of days early to Cusco to help acclimatize. I was fortunate and did not have issues with the altitude, but a couple of other group members were not so lucky. Best to allow some adjustment time, rather than not feeling well once the tour starts. By going early, we were able to book a tour to Palcoyo, the alternative to Rainbow Mountain. The elevation at Palcoyo is not as high as Rainbow, and therefore more manageable. Stunning vistas at the mountain but also on the ride. If time allows, it would be a great excursion for people to consider. Keep in mind that it does take a full day for Palcoyo because of the long commute.

Bucket list trip

Lovely trip; I felt very well looked after. Seeing gorillas up close will stay with me for a long time, and such good sightings were unbelievable. You do need to be reasonably fit to do this trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing gorillas up close and also seeing pangolins, the world's most trafficked animal.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Umar and Sam were great, professional and caring. Also extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we had a brilliant trip.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take walking poles and good walking shoes or boots. Take gaiters. Book the extra activities in advance, especially the extra gorilla day. Hire a porter for the walk. Be prepared for long drives and lots of walking. Be prepared for a full-on trip. Unfortunately, we arrived at the first hotel at midnight and left early the next day. I think it would be advisable for Exodus to look at this – maybe organise an earlier flight and then do a tour of the city. Also, as a lone female traveller, I found some of the lodges quite isolated, especially the last one, which was about a 10-minute walk from my lodge and had no phone signal. Although I did love the view and had a warthog sitting on my doorstep. Thankfully, the lovely group I was with made sure I got back safely. To their credit, Sam did offer to move me to a lodge closer; however, I only had one night left by this point. That being said, it's an amazing trip, definitely once in a lifetime.
