This is a whirlwind introduction to the Atlas Mountain at an affordable price. Thoroughly enjoyed my return to Morocco after 25 years away. It has changed a lot and mostly for the better. This tour takes you through the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, such beautiful scenery but there’s not enough walking in the mountains. I would have liked more time off the bus generally.
Most Inspirational Moment
Sunrise in the Sahara and the views from Aït Benhaddou or sunrise in the Sahara
The food we had prepared for us at peoples home was also so delicious.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Yusuf was very good and also ensured we got plenty of photo opportunities.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take an extra day or two at the end and stay in a riad in the medina.
Overall a tremendous trip. It is very demanding and requires considerable fitness. Mt Fugi was tremendous to see.
Such beautiful trees and gardens .. even the moss was lovely!
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing Mount Fugi was a stand out moment. We were so lucky to see it so clearly on both days!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Charles was a very good leader. He was very good at getting the group (ages 26 - 77 years) through all the vagaries of public travel. Having lived in Japan he was knowledgeable on Japanese customs, beliefs and ways.
Advice for Exodus. I found the journey Kobe to Kanazawa very tiring, travelling on three trains and a bus. I wondered if this leg could be modified possibly using private transport on this day. I also wondered if it would be possible to meet more Japanese people.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Travel one or two days before the start of the trip so that you are not tired at the beginning of the adventure.
Our best meal was one where 4 of us ordered something different and shared.
Our time in Tokyo was short so planning and booking venues in advance is the key.
Enjoy it all!
This is a new trip and could do with some adjustments.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for late (3 pm and later) lunch breaks - the cycling is all done before lunch.
There is a quite a lot of off-road cycling, way more than is suggested in the trip notes, over rough terrain. If you are not used to cycling off-road 'gravel roads' often means rough, uneven, lumpy, bumpy tracks.
The pace of the cycling is very slow (which was not due to the group members, but set by the group leader) which makes the lunch stop even later than it need be. There is a lot of cycling on shared footpaths/cycle paths which is necessarily slow.
The second hotel (in Pula) is a long way from the town and there is nowhere to eat other than the hotel. To go into Pula itself you need to get a bus.
The trip is new for 2026 so will perhaps evolve.
It’s now two weeks since I returned from Portugal and I wish I was back walking the wild Algarve. The unspoiled coastline was spectacular with few tourists, just surfers riding the huge waves.
Also what was so noticeable was the fact that there were no litter bins but also no litter anywhere – the environment is truly respected.
Most Inspirational Moment
The amazing rugged coastal walks with an abundance of wild flowers.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Inês is/was unflappable!! Totally in control of the group, acknowledging and adapting to our various idiosyncrasies and providing us with a knowledge and understanding of the flora & fauna as well as the many species of bird.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I’m in my 70’s & relatively fit but I did find some of the days challenging. Most of the paths are on sand, some on rock/limestone and on some occasions you are scrambling up & down rocks. Boots with ankle support and walking poles were invaluable.
Excellent customer service at point of booking. The trip was extremely well planned and more than met our expectations. The local guide and driver were outstanding and the accommodation was of a good standard. Good value for money
Most Inspirational Moment
The range of wildlife. We saw so much in a range of settings. Lots of monkeys, sloths, coati, birds, reptiles. More than met my expectations. Daniel was so knowledgeable and knew where to go to spot them. The different locations gave us the chance to see the diversity of this country. His knowledge also gave us an overview of the social, economic, political and cultural makeup. Daniel was superb
Extremely helpful in all aspects whether this is during the holiday or before. Everything is taken care of.
Most Inspirational Moment
Tortugeuro was the highlight. Beautiful location and the boat rides were excellent.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Daniel was excellent. His knowledge, love and passion for Costa Rica knew no bounds. Friendly, outgoing and a brilliant guide. Nothing was too much trouble. He is a true credit to Exodus.
Another wonderful exodus trip, with knowledgeable, fun & thoughtful guide
Most Inspirational Moment
The group, guide, location, accommodation, itinerary, wildlife, sounds of nature, basically everything!
Thoughts on Group Leader
A very calm, knowledgeable, fun and thoughtful guide, who looked after us all so well, particularly during a stormy hike across many streams. He was very diligent in ensuring the safety of everyone, whilst keeping it enjoyable.
It was a great trip and our guide Vanja was very helpful and looked after us all very well.

Thoughts on Group Leader
Isobel was an excellent leader. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic about her country. She was patient always helpful and very conscientious. We could not have wished for a better guide.
Andorra is a beautiful country and the Exodus trip perfectly captures the essence of it via the organised walking trips. It is a mountainous area, as such, be prepared for walking at higher altitudes and a reasonable amount of uphill sections, as such, a good personal physical condition is recommended. You will be rewarded with spectacular scenery and panoramic views of the area. Alfonso is an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable of the area and attentive to the needs of the group with impeccable organisation to ensure everyone gets the maximum enjoyment from the trip. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary then I would highly recommend this trip.
