Discover Provence
Excellent guide, well-planned trip, well looked after, mostly really nice hotels
Waterfalls, valleys and glaciers!
As an Exodus staff member, I recently had the pleasure of visiting this incredible country, Norway. I was blown away by how stunning the landscapes were, including numerous waterfalls and valleys created by ancient glaciers still visible today! Our group had a refreshing mix of people; forever laughing and enjoying our best life exploring the Fjords!
Most Inspirational Moment
View of the Fjords and waterfall from Nes Gard! Each morning, the view was different, but still just as beautiful!
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leader Flo, is my favourite Exodus leader to date! He was just so good!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack your own re-usable lunch box for the lunches each day! Bring a raincoat!
An unforgettable Tuscan adventure
Our first time travelling under the “Signature” label, we were impressed with the service we received from Exodus right from the time of booking. Our questions and needs were quickly and accurately addressed, with everything running smoothly before and after departure to Italy. The trip itself met and often exceeded our expectations, with many cultural, meaningful and memorable encounters in locations such as Arezzo, Florence, Siena and Pienza. For example, not many people get to have a delicious private lunch on the roof of one of Siena’s tallest towers overlooking the Piazza del Campo (the only way the experience could have been bettered was if the Palio was being held at the same time)! Our stay in the medieval village of the Castello di Gargonza was also a magical experience; our rooms were superb, the views stunning and the staff always attentive to our needs. We highly recommend the new “Signature Collection” and will soon be looking to book our next Signature trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
I am tempted to say the whole trip was inspiring . However, if I must identify just one, it would be the awe inspiring afternoon spent in the Opficio Delle Pietre Dure E Laboratori Di Restauro Di Firenze. It was an honour and a privilege to meet one of the institute's experts and to be shown the work being undertaken in Florence to conserve and restore so many artistic treasures. The drawing of the elephant revealed by the X-ray of Leonardo's "Adoration of the Magi" will long remain in our memories.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ambra was delightful. Deeply knowledgeable, friendly, approachable and funny, she worked hard to meet our preferences and needs, playing a huge part in making sure we had a fabulous week in Tuscany. We would go so far as to say that Ambra is one of the best group leaders we have had the privilege of meeting in many years of travelling worldwide.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The food provided on the trip is never less than delicious. However, portions can be large (an 800g Bistecca alla fiorentina. Each!) and travellers would be best advised to pace themselves if they don't want to have to buy a complete new wardrobe of clothes upon return.
TFD: Walking in Crete
A great trip including coastal hikes, mountains, beaches, and ancient history.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking through the palm tree forest at Preveli Beach – it was like a tropical oasis!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide, Yorgos Prinarakis, was an amazing guide who had a real passion for showing and telling us all about his country and its history and culture.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This trip is great for people who want active exploration with downtime and scenery, rather than a hardcore trekking-only trip. Make sure to pack plenty of water and your swimming gear as it gets hot!
Highlights of Sicily May 2026
A great way to get a flavour of Sicily. Some long days travelling, but then you do go round the whole of the coast of Sicily.
Most Inspirational Moment
All of it. There wasn't really one thing that stood out above the rest. There was a good mixture of sights and food. We were lucky enough to get to the national park which had only been reopened a couple of weeks before we got there following wild fires,
Thoughts on Group Leader
Tiziano was absolutely fantastic. A ball of fun and he managed to add extra bits to our excursions as we were a great group and all of us were always on time. We were given a list of foods to experience as we went round Sicily and we did try almost all of them.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The botanical gardens are worth a visit on your free afternoon in Palermo. Travel light as you can wash and dry your clothes overnight if you wish.
Kenya Safari Adventure

Highlights of Albania
Albania has blown me away from the 10 day cultural tour. Artur our guide was very informative about the history, culture, ethics, people , food and so on, I have come away with a different view. I loved the home visit, the traditional houses and the places we went to.
Artur looked after us and was very caring and paid attention to detail and followed up on anything the individuals in the group needed.
Artur and our driver Dhui, were an amazing combination, both respectful to each other and the group. It was a memorable tour and I would go back to Albania for more
Most Inspirational Moment
The most inspiring moment was the visit to the 17 century homes, still there post communist and it was amazing to learn how families lived together
Thoughts on Group Leader
Artur our leader was exceptional, kind and had the attention to detail. He was able to change things as required. He consulted us with options, he asked individually if we were ok on a daily basis. He listened to our feedback. Amazing guide! Dhiu the driver made our trip so smooth with his driving skills and helping with lugagge etc.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared moving from hotel to hotel. Some long days but these two guide and driver, made everything flow with much ease

Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent helpful caring a credit to Exodus
Seriously impressive
What a trip – my 6th walking tour with Exodus and utterly blown away by the Challenge 5 hikes amongst the Alpi Apuane and Apennines ranges. This was an astonishing introduction to Tuscany! If you enjoy mountain walks and vast open views this could be your next trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
The ridge walks overlooking the Tuscan/Liguarian coastline, spotting the variety of butterflies, beetles and wildflowers across the alpine meadows. Simply gorgeous.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Liz was an incredible guide. She is unstoppable in her drive, energy and commitment to everyone’s personal experience. She was resourceful, knowledgeable and expertly mountain skilled, but beyond that, Liz was beyond wonderful and took care of all our needs - including our washing !
Advice for Potential Travellers
Check the challenge level is suitable for your ability, the ridge hikes require some low key scrambling and there are a few exposed sections with impressive drops. You are on the mountains for long days with 1000m ascent /decent typically. So worth it if this is for you .
