I like to travel on my own (ie without friends or family) and yet be part of a group. I tend to find that I’m on the same wavelength as most Exodus travellers and I’m saved the trouble of having to arrange everything myself. There is a variety of destinations, many of which I have visited on my 21 trips with Exodus and I have already spread the word amongst friends and acquaintances. The guides are usually very good, as are the drivers. The accomodation tends to be comfortable.

The Palio Museum in Sienna. The wine tastings and pasta making. Wandering around the two small towns where there weer fewer tourists.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Tommaso spoke good English and went out of his way to ensure we were happy. He joined in where appropriate and left us to our own devices when we wanted to wander. He was very knowledgeable and was happy to elaborate on anything we wanted to know. An excellent leader.
Well organised. Descriptions in Trip Notes match reality on the ground. Makes it easy to just turn up each day and walk.

Gjirokaster and Berat for the beautiful old towns. The journeys in the mountains - stunning scenery. The wine and the craic with the group. The hotel in the national park with the deer and large cats.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very knowledgeable, passionate about his country and imparting information. Kind and thoughtful. Made it personal with his own anecdotes. Shared his fruit with us. Always planning ahead. Good voice projection. Took a while to get accustomed to his way of saying things at times, but that is normal. Excellent vocabulary - it was the 'easy' words he sometimes forgot. Always on the go.
Great itinerary, good reputation, well organised, tour leader fantastic, helpful staff both at initial enquiry (Catryn) and subsequent queries (Hayley).

Seeing the Condors flying close up at Colca Canyon, seeing a volcano eruption and the flight over the Nazca Lines
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was tremendous and undoubtedly helped to enhance the overall experience of the holiday. His knowledge was phenomenal on an array of topics about Peru, he was a very warm and engaging character and showed concern if anyone in the group was feeling unwell. His logistical skills with timings etc were spot on and he organised the additional activities such as the Nazca Lines trip very efficiently.
Our guides were excellent, the combination of activities was excellent, accommodation was very good, transport was well organised. We are very impressed with our first experience with Exodus.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing Bornean elephants in the wild at the Kinabatangan River, seeing the wild orangutan at Tabin, the bat exodus at Mulu, the orangutan sanctuary and sun bear sanctuary at Sepilok. Staying in accommodation immersed in the rain forest in each place, the Tabin Wildlife reserve, staying in the longhouse- and I could go on!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Both Nizam and Jeffry were amazing guides. Their wildlife knowledge, spotting skills and enthusiasm for the wildlife were outstanding. They dealt with us courteously, with good humour, taking very good care of us and checking in with us regularly. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best experience possible. They were superb guides, thank you to both of them.
Variety of destinations, excellent hiking trips and great guides and reasonable value

Enjoyed Nuragic visit, canyon, caves and beautiful beaches but Sardinia itself is the highlight.

Michele wonderful guide, caring about the group, adapted itinerary due to weather conditions, very passionate about the history of Sardinia, nature and environment and it evident.
We very much liked the leadership, helpfulness, humor, skilled perceptions and knowledge of our guide Paolo. Variety and pace of activities were great. Quality of accommodations was high, service was excellent and we really liked the convenience of meals and access to hikes.

Last but one day high up in the mountains - hard walk but so worth it!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Niko was a great leader, his English was adequate and he tried to accommodate any suggestions we had ie local food for dinner - he was thoughtful as to various abilities of the group, not leaving the slowest at the back. I found him to have a good sense of humour and a huge desire to make sure we enjoyed our holiday!
The holiday worked as a complete package – flights, tour design, location and tour leader. The parts made a successful whole.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking in the local mountains.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Michele made the trip a great success. He gave us lots of helpful information and looked after us. His enthusiasm was infectious. He also made time to look after the needs of all the individuals on the trip.
