I did the cycling tour in April of 2025, and it was better than I expected — which, for a trip I’d spent a while researching, is saying something.
The riding itself was well put-together. A mix of quiet back roads, some proper climbs, and long stretches on old railway paths. I used a regular bike and would say the level given is appropriate.
The highlight reel: Besalú is a very charming, well-preserved medieval town, and the Costa Brava section is as good as advertised. Alvaro, our guide, was the reason the week felt personal rather than packaged. He picked up on what people wanted and adjusted. Everything else — luggage transfers, route markings, daily logistics — all ran smoothly, which is how it should be.
Worth doing.
An enjoyable holiday but wrongly classed as a walking holiday.
All the included walks were shorter than advertised and most of the walking was on city tours. There was a change to the itinerary from when I booked and instead of a walk to see sandstone cliffs on day 5 we had a 2.5 hour guided tour of Art Nouveau buildings in Riga. Acceptable on a cultural tour but not really appropriate when this is sold as a walking tour.
Most of the days were long, we rarely finished before 5pm and too much crammed in so that we always felt we were being rushed on to the next activity.
Hotels, apart from Islande Hotel at Riga, were good. Riga Hotel was just too big and almost impossible to get a seat at breakfast because of numerous large coach parties also at hotel.
Note for solo travellers paying single supplement – you will get a narrow single bed on at least 5 nights of the holiday.
Helsinki - this was the best city tour and great to get a free afternoon to continue our sightseeing.
Inna was a good tour leader but possibly more suited to a cultural trip and possibly just as well for her that this was not a walking trip.
No need for walking boots. Most of the walks are city tours and when we did actually go for walks in the countryside these were on paths or boardwalks.
This was my first Exodus trip and it was a wonderful two weeks exploring Costa Rica with a small group of 7, our fantastic guide Guillermo and excellent driver Carlos. Two nights in each location, very different landscapes. We saw a huge number of creatures and an amazing 174 species of birds. Great hotels and excellent airport pick up in San Jose. This holiday was fabulous!
Esquinas Rainforest Lodge - one of the most beautiful places I’ve been.
Guillermo was a biologist and very experienced guide. His knowledge, organisational skills and friendliness helped make our tour magical.
Take a Costa Rica sim or eSIM. Download the Merlin bird app and PlantNet app to use in Costa Rica. Take 2 swimsuits as nothing dries. Due to this do a hotel laundry wash half way through the holidays and travel light. Invest in good quality waterproof binoculars. Regarding mosquitoes - take an anti histamine each morning, plug in a room diffuser and take deet spray.
We were a small group of 6, lovely people who helped make this a great holiday – along with our wonderful guide Alkan and our driver Ugur. We packed a lot into our 6 full days – tours around Istanbul and Antalya plus visits to fabulous ancient sites such as Troy, Ephesus, Hierapolis and the ancient city of Perge and wandering around the back streets of pretty towns. Plenty of time to explore .
Enjoyed everything but highlights for me were Gallipoli, Troy and the heavenly vineyard hotel in Seljuk.
Our Turkish guide Alkan was excellent. He was very passionate about his beautiful country, full of knowledge and he went out of his way to ensure we all had a great time. He took us to some great places to eat and as a vegetarian, always ensured I had something good to eat.
This is a great trip, you can see so much of Turkey is a week. As a solo traveller in future I will look out for free single room offers - two of our group had booked later and didn’t pay for their single occupancy, something to consider.
What a fabulous trip. Great food, incredible walks and plenty of original Prosecco with the most amazing company.
Walking up hill then finally seeing the view opening to see the snow capped dolomites.
Michele was an exceptional leader with great local knowledge and connections. Nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed his company immensely and even forwarded him for leader of the year award.
Take some warm clothes just in case.
I had never joined a group activity or trip like this before but immediately felt at ease with everyone when we all met. This was largely due to the extremely welcoming attitude and manner of our great guides Miguel, and his highly trusted driver / bike mechanic and co-guide. They worked tirelessly and extremely well together to make this a very highly memorable trip for us all. I had never visited Catalonia before and wanted a mix of good cycling around the area, some basic tourism and the opportunity to experience a range of different Catalan landscapes with some good food and company. I am happy to say that the trip exceeded all my expectations in every way. All the hotel accommodation and hospitality of their staff was excellent, and helped to provide us with a great (and stress-free) holiday experience.
I loved the constantly changing landscapes we experienced – passing through medieval villages, quiet countryside lanes, the stunning coastal villages and Besalu was an excellent destination to finish the trip. I think a lot of thought had clearly been put into planning the route very carefully.
Miguel is truly an outstanding guide and really made the trip a perfect experience. He is very skilled at working with a group of people from diverse backgrounds, since he has a very easy, approachable, highly inclusive and friendly manner, while always maintaining his sense of professionalism. His English is also excellent! Miguel's passion for Catalonia, outdoors activities and his wish to ensure that everyone enjoyed themselves in a safe, relaxed and fun way was inspiring. I also really enjoyed his knowledge of the local history, gastronomy, wildlife and his enthusiasm to share this with us. It really helped to make the trip memorable. All the daily logistics were handled with care and thoughtfully - the one 'traveller emergency' we had was dealt with calmly and professionally.
It’s not a cheap trip certainly, but I felt it was well worth it in every way as a special treat for myself. I felt that I was well supported by Exodus staff before embarking on the holiday, since they answered my email queries well, without delay and they made the pre-holiday admin all very easy. It was a great introduction to a beautiful part of Spain and as well as learning a huge amount about the area, I loved the cycling, company of everyone and have some very fond memories of the holiday.
A very good level 2 trip. A mix of walking and seeing the surrounding countryside, site seeing, local cuisine and down time. Comfortable hotel. Excellent guide
Walks. Cuisine and Wines. Hidden Venice
Mattia was an excellent leader. He coped very well with a group of 8 females and the personalities within the group! He was very relaxed, observant, sociable, understanding, helpful, diligent, reliable all with a good sense of humour. He led the group very well
It was all very well organised and the guide was excellent. Great knowledge. Genuine local flavour to it all. Route was well chosen. Food was very good with the odd exception.
Nazare, lunch stop with the natural spring swimming lake, picnics, countryside, company of all involved
A really nice guy who did an excellent job of keeping us together and enjoying. Great local knowledge. Worth his weight in gold!
My 9th trip with Exodus and as always the guide was brilliant, José was extremely knowledgeable about the local area, always sharing really interesting facts. He adapted the walks to the hot weather to ensure we were able to enjoy the scenery and made us the most delicious lunches every day. The accommodation was fantastic, a lovely clean and comfortable room with a lovely room. Every night we had delicious authentic Spanish food and then enjoyed the evening sunshine on the terrace.
Our brilliant guide José, he was so knowledgeable about the area and makes the best lunches! The accommodation was fantastic, clean and comfortable room with lovely views and delicious food every night
José was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, fun and supportive.
Once again, a great holiday! Itinerary was strong, wonderful places to visit, a fab mix of accommodations and simply exceptional tour guides! Some of the best for sure I have had. A huge thank you to both Vitaliy and Dilshood for their exceptional knowledge, patience, openness and sense of fun! A treat to have Alex Morris from Exodus along with us too – great fun and very open to feedback, and putting up with a bunch of oldies!
The guides! Both Vitaliy and Dilshod were exceptional. And the countries we visited breathtaking.
Exceptional and some of the best we have had!
