Kenya Safari Adventure
Our guide, Peter, was very friendly, patient and informed. He made the trip interesting and engaging.
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 .
Loire Valley: Walks, Wine & Chateaux
Good choice of guide. Good selection of places to visit and restaurants.
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting chateaux. Wine tasting experiences. Local restaurants.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was always concerned about the well being of the group in the very hot weather. He was very helpful at restaurants explaining the menus. He was very sociable to the group.
Walking Northern Tuscany
Exodus travel adventures always deliver the best locations, the best guides with local knowledge and hand picked accommodations that work so well for each activity.
Most Inspirational Moment
For me, my highlights were the long walks along the mountain spines with 360 degree views across the Tuscany/Liguaria coastline and the ridge walk that separates Tuscany from Emilia Romagna with abundant wildlife and alpine flowers at every footstep.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Liz is truly a superstar guide. She is dedicated, knowledgeable, sociable and always strives to include everyone and ensure each individual is getting the best out of their trip. This was my second Exodus trip with Liz, put her in the mountains and she is impressive.
Highlights of Albania
Albania itself was a pleasant surprise, the tour was good to see a lot of the country, culture, history, food and people. It was inexpensive and best of all Artur the guide was excellent, informative with his knowledge and duty of care and detail. Driver, Diu was very good driver and looked after us.They both work very well together and made the holiday awesome
Most Inspirational Moment
The highlights were the family lunch, the two traditional homes we got to see as they were very different and amazing to see how families lived. The history of Albania and its troubles and the historical sites. People themselves all around us were polite and welcoming, scenery was also amazing
Thoughts on Group Leader
Artur was an amazing guide, attention to detail, care of the group, imparting his knowledge. He would help people out where he could and go beyond to make sure we were all looked after. His ability to think what else needed to be done, take notes of what could be done better for the next group from our comments etc. He continually asked us for feedback of hotels and venues etc. was impressive.
Mexico's Yucatán Adventure
Most Inspirational Moment
Sunday night in Valloidid (seeing locals out dancing in the square) Uxmal mayan site Ceynote Cooking in Merida Rio Lagartos boat trip
Thoughts on Group Leader
Angel was a lovely warm and friendly man. Passionate about the mayan culture and very knowledgeable. Very good customer service. He went out of his way to show us so many things and really looked after us. He was very organised - planned ahead, always ready at times agreed to depart/meet etc. Excellent all round.
Fjords, Forests, and Forever Memories
This trip quickly became one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Norway is breathtaking in photos, but nothing compares to standing among the fjords, mountains, and forests in person. Every destination on the itinerary had its own personality and charm, making the journey feel like several incredible trips woven into one.
I especially loved how immersive each stop was. Whether we were exploring Trondheim, learning to cook with local ingredients at Sveggvika Guesthouse, kayaking through the fjords, or enjoying the Viking dinner at Blåtind Boutique Hotel, every experience felt authentic and thoughtfully planned.
What made this trip even more special were the people we met along the way. The hotel staff, local hosts, and everyone who shared their traditions and stories made Norway feel incredibly welcoming. It never felt like we were just passing through, it felt like we were being invited to experience a small piece of everyday Norwegian life.
Most Inspirational Moment
Kayaking through the fjord and stopping to eat lunch from a local bakery that was packed in waterproof bags! The mountains rising around us, the quiet, and the feeling of being surrounded by nature, I felt like I was in a nature documentary.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Åshild truly made the trip exceptional. She was organized, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer questions or offer recommendations. More importantly, she made everyone feel comfortable and welcome from the very beginning. Her enthusiasm for Norway was contagious, and you could tell she genuinely wanted every person in our group to have the best possible experience. By the end of the trip, it felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend. I may have shed a few tears after our final farewell.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Bring layers, some days have more sun or wind, and the rain can change the temperature too! Comfortable walking shoes are essential, and hiking boots for hiking days. Say yes to the optional experiences, try the local foods (especially the brown cheese!), and take time to soak in the magic of Norway!
