HIghlights of Morocco
My wife Cristina and I just returned from a wonderful trip to Morocco. The trip was interesting, but it became even more fabulous thanks to our leader, Mohamed Ait Lmoud.
AMH: Highlights of Morocco
Just had the most incredible tour of Morocco with an amazing guide, Mohamed Ait Lmouden
It was so well organized and our guide was always doing his best for all of us
Most Inspirational Moment
There were so many great moments! A highlight was having a picnic lunch at a family house and being welcomed with such warmth and generosity!

Morocco is such a mixture of cultures and there is a lot to take in Be open minded and flexible, you never know where that alley In a souk might take you

The whole experience but Dharamshala was fab.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Great leader, took care of us like a father. Personable, witty and very likeable
What an amazing trip!
The best trip I have ever done with Exodus. Everything was perfect: the itinerary, the accommodation, the food! Vietnam and Cambodia are both amazing countries and this trip was the perfect way to experience them both.
Most Inspirational Moment
The overnight boat stay in Ha Long Bay. Drinking cocktails on the sundeck with the most impressive sunset.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Vuong (V) made the trip. He was incredible at making sure everything ran smoothly and imparted his vast knowledge about Vietnam upon the group. He is a credit to both Exodus and his country.
Advice for Potential Travellers
You can pack light. There are plenty of opportunities to do laundry on the trip (very cheap) and you will most definitely buy lots of souvenirs. Also worth adding on an extra night or 2 on arrival to combat the jetlag before the trip starts.
Volcanoes, Lakes & Condors!
We had such an amazing holiday in these two wonderful countries. My favourite was Chile for the volcanoes and Argentina for the Condors! Easily, the most picturesque trip I’ve been on with Exodus! The accommodation was fantastic for the most part, with a mixture of 3,4 and 5-star hotels!
Most Inspirational Moment
On the final cycling day, in the mix of all the days activities, we walked through the forest for 30 minutes to find the Monkey Puzzle Mother Tree, which is over 1800 years old! Overall, this day was everyone's favourite and just superb!

Advice for Potential Travellers
Take ear plugs with you just in case you're a light sleeper. People's feet on hard wooden floors in some locations and dogs may wake you up, so good to be prepared!
Foothills of the Himalaya
This trip had a great itinerary, especially if you had already visited the high profile sites on past trips to India. It was well organized.
Most Inspirational Moment
Haridwar and the Golden Temple
Thoughts on Group Leader
This trip involved lots of logistics especially for the transportation which he handled very well.
The Ultimate South India Experience
Incredible trip! This itinerary is well crafted to show off all Southern India’s highlights; from tea plantations, temple cities, sleepy coastal towns, wildlife and houseboats to all the friendly locals! Biju, our guide was stand-out with his incredible depth of knowledge and insight into his home state of Kerala as well as the whole of India, he really did make the trip! Vinod, our driver was impeccable navigating the twisty roads of the Western Ghats with precision. All in all, a once-in-a-lifetime trip that I will never forget! Highly recommend.
Temples Food and The Sea Coast!
This tour was everything I hoped for and more — the perfect mix of culture, nature, food, and beautiful views. From walking among ancient temples to seeing the sea.. every day had something unforgettable. The food was incredible, and the local towns were full of charm and character. The Gambino winery experience was also amazing. The wines were delicious after a day walking on Etna mixed with cheese and breads and olive oil. Just wonderful!
Most Inspirational Moment
Mount Etna was the most inspiring moment of the entire trip for me — walking up the slopes and breathing in the air with the landscape around you that feels like you are on mars. You feel tiny but like you’re standing on the edge of the world. I am also not a walker, I was nervous as I would never call myself fit but the walk offered options for all fitness levels. If you were unable to continue up, there were rocks you could sit at and wait for the group to loop back around. There was the option to take the cable car up to view, or to walk even higher.. I went in the middle and I'm so thrilled that I did. You do NOT need to be a walker to enjoy the experience
Thoughts on Group Leader
Laura was a fantastic tour leader. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and naturally chatty in a way that made everyone feel welcome and included. She shared the history and culture of Sicily with so much passion, and she was just as comfortable explaining the details of ancient temples as she was giving restaurant tips or making jokes on the bus. She kept the group organized and you could tell she genuinely cared about each person having an amazing experience. Her energy and warmth were a huge part of what made this trip so special.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack layers, no matter the season — especially for Etna. Even in summer it can be cold and windy at the top. In November, I wish I had ear muffs and light gloves. If you're traveling in winter, expect some rain and bring a waterproof layer. Comfortable shoes are a must .. and again, I would say you do NOT need to be a walker to enjoy the Etna or Nature Walk experience. They aren't "easy" but everyone can enjoy. Just be prepared that you are walking uphill and on rocky terrain and you'll be ready to rock!
Disappointing
We’ve been on 6 Exodus trips previously and they’ve all been excellent. This trip was a real disappointment. It was under resourced and poorly planned. This was a surprise because we’ve been personally recommended this trip by other Exodus customers and the trip is very well reviewed on the Exodus website. We’ve discussed the trip with Exodus and it appears that a new local provider was appointed during 2025. All of the reviews on the website relate to trips provided by the previous provider so I would recommend that anyone considering this trip keep an eye out for more recent reviews before signing up. Hopefully things will improve.
Reply from Exodus
We’d like to thank Jonathan for sharing his thoughts and for being such a loyal Exodus customer. We’re truly sorry that this trip didn’t live up to the fantastic experiences he’s had with us before.
The Coast to Coast itinerary remains the same as the one so many of our customers have loved, and we’re committed to making sure it delivers the adventure and enjoyment they expect. Recent feedback has highlighted areas where we need to do better, and we’ve already taken steps to improve resourcing and logistics so future departures run more smoothly.
We’re incredibly grateful for Jonathan’s honesty and for the trust he’s placed in us over the years. We sincerely hope he’ll give us the chance to welcome him back and show him the quality he’s come to expect from Exodus.
Iceland October 2025
To be able to get an idea of a country by driving around it is something I would recommend wherever you are. Even better when someone else does the driving.
The views even with unpredictable weather were always second to none. Black sand beaches and icebergs one minute, Lunar like landscapes the next. Spectacular waterfalls around even turn. Enormous fjords and glaciers that you can actually hear moving.
Most Inspirational Moment
I celebrated my 50th birthday whilst on this trip and the northern lights came out in the evening!! how lucky. Our guide Palmi had bought his camera phone and a tripod and so we all got a group shot of us with the lights, brilliant idea.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide Palmi was great. He was laid back and funny, a great talker. Made sure that everyone was looked after, clear about times and where to meet etc. His knowledge and love for his country was clear throughout. We had a WhatsApp group to share pictures with one another and to stay in touch. Just a fantastic bloke, give him a raise.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This is a great holiday to do if you just want a break from walking and cycling holidays. The accommodation overall was good. Everywhere was clean and warm. The breakfasts could see you through to dinner time. Iceland is no more expensive than London in a good restaurant. The days are packed with lots to see which was great for my camera.... We did the Vok baths, highly recommend. swam in a 6 degree lake and then getting into a geothermal pool heated to 40 degrees was life affirming. I will visit again.
