There’s a lot packed in to the limited time. Each of the four countries has a different flavor. Each has a unique history, albeit with some commonalities. A fascinating introduction to geography and history.
Soviet occupation and cold war histories, with personal experiences shared by our guide and each of the local city guides.
Andrius was excellent. Very knowledgeable and personable, and obviously caring and responsible for the group.
Go with this. See the Baltics (overview). The small group makes for a companionable tour
This trip was a very pleasant excursion across the French country side. We started riding just outside of Rennes where we followed paved and stone dust paths along a canal to the coast. We had a short ferry ride from Dinard to St. Malo and continued cycling north. The majority of our cycling was on quiet country roads through fields of wheat, corn and other crops. The trip notes do a reasonable overview of the trip suitable for planning purposes. The hotels were conveniently located near areas of interest and were comfortable. Some of these required substantial stair climbing. Hotel food was very good overall and of course, the coffee. Restaurant food – to die for.
Our guide took us to several medieval churches at various locations along our route which were definitely worth the time. We also had an excellent guided historical tour at one of our stops. The American Military Cemetery at Omaha Beach and the Canadian museum at Juno Beach and environs were worth the trip by themselves.
This was our fourth trip with Exodus. We have come to expect a certain level of expertise from our guides. Not only local knowledge, but also dealing with issues of group travel that invariably come up. Like the time I had a serious crash in India. We felt very fortunate that our trip leader - Yanni Brousset and his father mapped out and planned this trip. Nothing was over looked and attention was paid to the smallest detail. We had no problems whatsoever. We were also lucky that we had a small group. There were just 4 of us under Yanni's guidance. I feel we really got a lot of extra attention that we would not have had in a larger group. He helped us with menus, asking questions for us, answering our endless questions, his local and historical knowledge was extensive and he was just an absolute pleasure to be with. He also arranged our transportation back to the airport. We didn't have to deal with any of this. I think while Yanni was an excellent group leader that went above and beyond our expectations, he was really more of a host and ambassador. He provided a personal touch with so much that made this trip certainly one of the best we have been on.
It was difficult to figure out, but you can go by train direct to Rennes from de Gaulle airport. Book early! Months early. Trains fill up quick. The trains are a challenge. Small narrow stairs and doors. Many hotels have limited elevator access to rooms. Don't fall into the 40 year tipping mindset. You will spent 50 plus euros for a nice meal for two. Tip like you would here. Don't be cheap. It's appreciated by them as our service workers do as well. Leave it on the table. And tip your group leader handsomely. They earn every penny. Most of all, have fun. It's a great experience.
A thoroughly enjoyable, very varied and interesting holiday including the cities, countryside and seaside and an insight into the life and history of the people, a joy to see them flourishing in the freedom of independence.
Exploring the amazing sights of the old town of Tallin, the city walls, narrow alleys and spectacular buildings, plus going on a submarine, icebreaker and minesweeper at the Maritime Museum - especially as we were easily able to walk there from the hotel. Also loved the fishermen’s village Altja, the chance to swim in the Baltic Sea at Jumala, fresh smoked fish on the Curonian Spit. Very impressed with the Hill of Crosses, daunted by the Cold War Museum and moved by the video of the Human Chain shown in the Upper Castle tower at Vilnius. Fascinating tour of Vilnius.
Excellent in every way, friendly, well organised, very interesting and informative commentaries and tours, always ready to help meet anyone’s requests. Even produced a celebration cheesecake to share in the group on 4th July US Independence Day, as we had 3 Americans with us, a thoughtful touch!
Come ready to explore the Baltic States, mostly towns and cities driving through countryside with short visits to National Parks.
An easy cycling trip exploring the 3 Baltic states, their capitals, countryside and beaches, as well as gaining a good understanding of their social, political and historical background up to the present day.
Not a moment but a week long growing admiration for the peoples of all 3 states who have fought over centuries to keep their separate cultures, languages and political/national identities. Excellent high quality food, cleanliness and quietness.
Excellent leader, knowledgeable about all 3 countries, very well organised, thoughtful of everyone's needs and enjoyment. She definitely went the extra mile to make it a most enjoyable trip for everyone - with a wide range of ages and countries.
Don't go if your main aim is to do a lot of fast cycling . Do go if you want to see and learn about Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and if you are a road cyclist try a heavier bike out first.
A great trip, a journey into the history of the Baltics. Never a dull moment with opportunity to walk in the countryside of four countries
Difficult to answer as there were many: the occupation museum in Riga, walking barefoot along the miles of clean white sand on the Bay of Riga. Visiting the nuclear bunker in Lithuania. The amazing self sufficient farmer/vineyard in Latvia. Hotel Viru and the KGB museum in Tallin. The list goes on! Memorable but perhaps not inspiring was the never ending icecream machine on the Estonian ferry
Andrius was excellent and worked hard to ensure we enjoyed our time. He was also very entertaining and thought provoking on the longer bus journeys.
Just go! Don’t expect a restful time, it is full on but it will deliver a very memorable trip into the history and culture of the Baltics. Meals are not cheap … so budget this in before you go. Do take the insect repellent!
This was a great trekking experience with plenty of good advice available from the Exodus team beforehand in terms of preparation and what to expect. We started in the second week of the trekking season and so encountered a good deal of snow, which for us was a first in terms of trekking. We also had two fairly short ‘river’ crossings, which we had to negotiate and again a first for us. Our group leader was an extremely experienced mountain guide who made a great deal of effort to keep the group focussed on the trail ahead especially when it mattered. Amazing views at the tops of climbs and probably not a good trek for those with a fear of heights!

A great trip for seeing wildlife. We saw so much and pretty well everything except a cheetah.
Full of amazing moments and experiences from start to finish. The Chobe River cruise is a must as is the walk in the Victoria Falls Park.
Our group of 10 got on very well and made sure we moved around the ‘truck’ to share the bumps and reduced leg room seats.
So many amazing memories but mine is realising how beautiful a leopard is as I stared at it’s face through binoculars.
Big friendly Brian is exactly what it says on the tin. He loves his job and has a great team looking after you. He will ensure you are safe and see as much as possible.
This is a full on trip and not for everyone. Wild camping is tough and it can be cold at night and on the early morning drives in July. Take some gloves and a warm hat. A thin insulated jacket/ gilet would be useful as would a top with a hood. It’s really dusty terrain so a buff is useful too. Music for the longer journeys. Keep notes of what you see as you will forget otherwise. Binoculars are a must.
This was an excellent trip with plenty of variety due to having a week of nature, the culture of the Malaysian Peninsula and the idyllic relaxing Island of Langkawi. Melaka was excellent. I loved all the buzz. The Batu temple was amazing. Then there was the tranquillity of the Sandakan memorial.
The River cruises and seeing Proboscis Monkeys. It was pouring with rain and I was sat in a puddle but seeing many different troops high in the trees on the jungle edge was amazing. Plus many hornbills and birds of prey, pygmy elephants and a crocodile. The whole trip was fantastic.
Awang was our guide in Borneo & he was always available to assist. When we couldn't do the jungle hike as there was a male elephant in the area he organised a walk to the village. He was knowledgeable & well organised. He also kept us entertained on the coach journeys with some funny stories. Chee was our guide on the peninsular and he had his work cut out with looking after a group of 16. As there was free time in each city, he gave suggestions and helped us get to our chosen excursions. He also suggested restaurants that would be suitable for vegans, plus where we could buy a Guinness! He helped to find a bar to watch the England game during the Euros, which were on late. On the visit to the Petronus Towers due to the logistics those not going up just waited in a Sky bar or did some shopping, so that was a shame.
Take long sleeved cotton shirts & trousers, the sun is hot & the mosquitoes seem to bite even when you haven't seen any and you have put on anti mosquito cream. You only need walking shoes or trainers plus some sandals. Everywhere is casual. Take a mix of cash & card as some small shops only took cash. Beer and soft drinks are cheap on the peninsula whereas drinks on Borneo were like UK prices. The cocktails are good & reasonable. There is an app called "Grab" which is easy to install on your phone and is which is great for taxis & and they are very cheap. I found it was easy to be vegan here. I took a small carton of oat milk for the first day to have in tea/coffee and was able to pick up cartons of soya milk along the way at Mini marts/service stations. Although they were very sweet. There was also small chocolate oat drinks. No hotels offered non dairy milk. Breakfasts were mainly toast with beans & potatoes, or peanut butter. There was always a fruit selection (melon). In Borneo where food was provided there was a buffet & all vegetarians/vegans were given an extra plate with Tofu/tempeh, plus veg curry. When eating out there were vegan/vegetarian restaurants in KL & Georgetown. Otherwise there were usually a couple of options on the menu. There was always fried veg rice or spaghetti. You need to specify no cheese, even if not listed as an ingredient. The included meals on the peninsula were good with a lot of variety. The final meal on Langkawi was delicious. There was generally a lack of cake/desert, but you can buy biscuits & chocolate. I always take some vegan bars. I enjoyed the food here. On the street food tour in K.L. the things we tried were vegan (all deserts).
A really enjoyable week trekking in the High Atlas. The trip was very well paced with several challenging days but still enough time to rest, acclimatise and enjoy the spectacular scenery prior to summitting Mount Toubkal itself. There is also a mix of wild and arranged camping which gives a nice contrast throughout the week.
Summitting Mount Toubkal - had but worth it for the views and sense of accomplishment
Our guide Ibraham and his team were excellent throughout. Professional, competent and assured, we had no doubt we were in safe hands
Enjoy the experience. Yes you can climb Mount Toubkal in a long weekend but this longer trip enabled us time to explore the lower valleys , experience Berber life and enjoy the scenery in this spectacular part of the World.
A busy trip with lots of travel across four countries, their capital cities, interiors and coastlines. Very interesting and informative, well planned and structured.
Learning about the Cold War, occupation and seeing a nuclear bunker.
Really knowledgeable, conscientious, lively and caring.
Pack for variable weather, do a bit of pre-reading on the geo-politics to get the most out of the trip.
