The information on the website was clear and both the Sales Specialist and the Customer Operations Specialist were both very knowledgeable and helpful in booking the trip. Our local guide Ashild was excellent, as were all the people we encountered at various tours and hotel stays. The locations, venues and excursions were all excellent. Everything went smoothly and make for a relaxing enjoyable trip
Most Inspirational Moment
The Clipfish Fish House Hotel, cooking class and sharing a meal together, the 2 fjord trips of kayaking and RIB boat. The meals were all delicious. Most especially the people, our guide, the driver, the local people who gave us a tour of the cider farm, the museums. Everyone we met was so warm and friendly which really made the trip most special. I felt like we not only saw Norway, rather experienced it through both what we saw and the people we met.
Thoughts on Group Leader
She was amazing! Very professional and mature as well as very kind and warm and generally concerned about each of the members on the trip. Very clear in communicating instructions regarding the itinerary for the day ensuring everything went smoothly.
Have fun cycling in the sun! Warm on the bike but you will be rewarded with great food, Sicilian culture and a lot of smiles/good company.

Eating the best pizza I have ever tasted in my life!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Davide is passionate about his home region and loves to show it off at its best.
A huge mention too for Sebi, our support driver, who communicated through smiles and kindness.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The cycling, whilst not being too long, was hilly at times and in the Sicilian heat could be draining, particularly on the hilly days. Consider an e-bike if you are unsure of your ability. It certainly assisted one or 2 in our group at times and a bit of cycling before coming out might assist.
Cycle shoes and cleats helped me though beware, the heat destroyed my shoes and they are fit only for the bin.
You'll be rewarded though with a real insight into Sicilian culture, some fabulous dining and stunning locations.
I stopped over a couple of nights in Catania at the start and a night in Syracuse at the end, both of which were fun (especially the boat trip at the latter). Bus connections to both destinations are fairly easy and there is plenty of accommodation on Booking.com.
We really enjoyed our cycling trip in Sicily. Our guide Davide was brilliant.
Funny safe and extremely helpful he made the trip enjoyablefor us all. Organising evening meals transfer arrangements, lunches, and anything we required.. would strongly recommend to anyone considering this trip.
Sebby, our driver was also very good too

Exceptional
Advice for Potential Travellers
Breakfast were a little limited so bringing a favourite cereal from home might be a winner . Vegetarian options were limited ..
I had such an awesome time on this trip with my fam! There was so much do do and see every day, and the trip was a perfect amount of activity as I was about 7 months recovered from a hip surgery. The fjords unesco site and the fish factory hotel were great highlights, as well as an authentic Viking dinner. And our guide Åshild was amazing, so good at keeping us organized and so fun to hang out with! Definitely a great way to experience Norway!
Most Inspirational Moment
jumping in the sea for a cold plunge and sauna , and then afterwards making a traditional Norwegian dinner, Bacalao, with our host Thomas! The setting was beautiful, with the rustic and wind swept fish factory hotel that was lapped by the waves of the sea. Ask for the “Crave Cave” local beer brewer!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Åshild was amazing! Had everything taken care of to the letter, and was so fun to hang around and joke with. She is also from a very cool and very remote part of Norway - ask her about it! It felt like hanging out with a long lost cousin.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack for all types of weather! The fjords are finicky and change from sunny to rainy on a dime! Be ready for rain!
Excellent trip with very good guides and driver. Have travelled many times with Exodus and regularly encourage friends to look at Exodus Holidays and Trips. There is a trip available for most people, excellent variety of choice.
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting 3x different Balkan Countries, Bosnia, Croatia and Montenegro. Visiting Sarajevo, Lukomir village. Kotor and Zabljack. Not forgetting Mostar and Dubrovnik.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent throughout. Really enthusiastic about his country ( Bosnia) and passionate about the landscape,people,food etc. He gave a really passionate summary of the complexities involved with the history of the places visited. Very optimistic about the future of the Balkan Countries and people.
I always find Exodus guides to go beyond expectation to try and find us the best experiences they can
Most Inspirational Moment
Bears, orangutans, elephants and all the other wildlife too many highlights to narrow down. And a fantastic group of people
Thoughts on Group Leader
Both our leaders were amazing both very knowledgeable and happy to share all their knowledge
I always find Exodus guides to go beyond expectation to try and find us the best experiences they can
Our seven day trip, covering Porto, the Douro wine region, the city of Lisbon and beautiful Obidos was a fabulous introduction to this beautiful country.
Transportation was with a comfortable small coach, which did not involve unduly long journeys between our numerous destinations. Hotel stays were comfortable and well located in the towns and villages visited.
Our group of nine people were superbly led, guided, supported (and educated!) by the wonderful Carla Costa, who played such an important role in our overall enjoyment.
One of the very best tours I have ever experienced.
Holiday was very well organised and itinerary very varied. Enjoyed being part of a smaller group and local guide, food and hotel all excellent.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walk to Ravello and time spent there, Path of the Gods walk and opportunities to swim in the sea at the end of both walks.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Nico was very attuned to the group's needs and wishes, had excellent local knowledge and worked hard to ensure that everyone had the best experience they could on this holiday - and also had a great sense of humour!
The trip was well organised with a goot tour guide as well as specialist guides with good knowledge of the history and culture in the different cities and locations.
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting the cities Tallinn, Rega, Tartu and Vilnius
Thoughts on Group Leader
Inga was a good sociable leader and a good communicator, I always felt reassured that everything was well organised and taken care of..She integrated well with all members of the group
I have now been on two exodus trips and both have had excellent tour guides. All transfers are in comfy new buses. Cannot fault any of the hotels. I have felt looked after from start to finish.
Most Inspirational Moment
The highlights obviously were being in Borneo, looking for the Orangutans. Sadly none spotted in the wild but plenty of other monkeys to see.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Both leaders were very passionate about their jobs. They had a huge knowledge of the areas that were covered. Friendly and attentive making sure everyone was happy at all times. Nothing seemed to be too much for them.
