A Trip to Remember

We felt that this was a unique trip as it managed to combined culture, cycling and hiking with seamless public transport.

Most Inspirational Moment

For me the Kaido cycle was a highlight. The views from the bridges, purchasing oranges from the market as we cycled past. Who knew there were at least twelve varieties. The quirky cycling hotel at our start of our cycle and the beautiful traditional style hotel waiting for us at the end. We also enjoyed the use of public transport as it felt part of the trip and not just a means to an end.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ayako was an excellent guide. Navigating the public transport system was not an easy feat and we never once missed a connection. She was open to our suggestions and encouraged us to sample the local cuisine and the tradition off onsen bathing.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be organised, travel light and enjoy the journey

Manaslu Circuit Trek

It was a wonderful experience with friendly guides.

Most Inspirational Moment

The day after the high pass, the scenery was beautiful.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He made us feel very welcome right from the start, he was extremely helpful and nothing was to much trouble for him. He was very knowledgeable and did go out of his way to assist us in exploring the city outwith the tour.

Walking in Andalucia

Exodus is well organised, explores fabulous places, great guides, comfortable, sometimes quirky and interesting accommodation, comfortable transport, is informative, efficient, and, in our experience, attracts sociable, interesting and fun groups.

Most Inspirational Moment

The variety of walks, our comfortable and interesting Cortijo, a day in Seville and the great group of fellow travellers.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Michael was organised and super-efficient, booking ahead, absolutely planned on all walks and activities, recommending sights, bars, restaurants, entertainment in places where we were 'free', being fully aware of the need for health and safety, and amazing us all with his enthusiasm, wealth of knowledge in so many areas, especially flora and fauna, and real passion for everything we saw.

Cycle Chile & Argentina: Atacama to Salta

A superbly organised trip led by a great team who went the extra mile to ensure we all enjoyed the best possible experience

Most Inspirational Moment

Tatio Geysers, Salinas Grandes salt flats, birdwatching trip to Finca Cielo Verde, cycling alongside the Conchas River

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alejandro is probably the best leader I have come across

Costa Rica's Coastal Secrets

I think you are a superb manager company. Clear ethical values, brilliant local guides and excellent support when booking. I recommend you all the time

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing sloths and all the birds. I loved being up in the cloud forest and Corcovado was super - the snorkelling was magical as we saw turtles and sharks

Thoughts on Group Leader

Guillermo was extremely knowledgeable both about the country and cultural and historical aspects as well as a wildlife spotted and expert. He was extremely organised and clear about what and when we were doing things. He used whats app really effectively.

First trip to this area for Exodus

After a rocky start at the airport where the Intrepid representative chose to hide our name from us, we enjoyed an extra day in Hanoi. The parks were interesting as was the prison visit.
The bus journeys are long but worth it to see real life in the north. It was interesting seeing lots of folk working in the rice fields.
I wasn’t sure about the kayaking at Cat Ba but it was really enjoyable and the water was extremely calm.

Most Inspirational Moment

Visit to a family home and partaking in activities. They were so welcoming.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Tri had a great sense of humour and integrated well with everyone. I found him tricky to understand on the noisy bus as he spoke quietly. He was most helpful with language issues and quick to resolve any problems.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Walking poles were provided but several of the group chose to use their own. Get used to eating white sticky rice at most meals. Be prepared for muddy walks and leeches along the rice fields.

Tuscany Walks & Chianti Wines

It was an excellent tour. The guide (Tomaso) was excellent and very knowledgeable about history, architecture, horticulture, agriculture, wine making, olive oil making, and more. The walks were also very well thought out and the cultural days in Siena and Florence were excellent.

Most Inspirational Moment

The walks along with the information provided the guide. The cultural days in Siena and Florence were very good. The "owl" museum in Siena was really good and interesting.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent tour leader. Extremely knowledgeable about many topics. Extremely friendly and helpful. Exodus should do everything they can to retain this tour leader and hire him as often as possible.

Fantastic week in Andalucia

This trip exceeded all my expectations and we discovered parts of Andalucia I never knew existed. April was the perfect month for hiking, and the weather was warm and sunny but not too overwhelming. It was grade 2 but most of us found the uphills a bit challenging, but not impossible. We saw the most magnificent scenery, ate tapas in mountain villages, and were led by Miguel, one of the best guides I’ve ever experienced at Exodus. His expert knowledge of the area was second to none.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking through verdant green countryside surrounded by wildlife and vibrant spring flowers.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Miguel was just excellent. He really knows his stuff and he takes huge pride and joy in being a leader.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take all the usual things: hat, suncream etc. A lot of the walking routes are exposed to the sun with little shade.

Highlights of the Amalfi Coast

Small group atmosphere was perfect. Our guide Longo Paolo was first rate with fantastic local knowledge, very helpful arranging transport on our free day, very supportive of all the individual needs within the group. He was lovely and full of humour.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing Pompeii and Herculaneum plus beautiful Ravello

Hike Morocco's Atlas Mountains

The trip exceeded our expectations. It was more than a hiking tour; it was a cultural insight into village life. The guide made it a personal experience in so many ways. The scenery was fascinating and the people were kind and welcoming.

Most Inspirational Moment

Watching the rhythm of village life; the musical evenings; the third day hike out the valley and seeing the Atlas Mountains in the background; the history tour of the Medina; hanging out with a fun group of fellow travellers; Mohammed's leadership.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mohammed was a delight. He was so genuine and sincere about his role as leader, about his country, and about his village and family. His caring nature was evident at all times. Hé took good care of us, always making sure that we knew the plans, reminding us how to be safe on the trails and in the city, and checking in regularly to see how everyone was doing.
