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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
Great guide, great walks, and great cultural tours. Also, the hotel was very nice and the hotel restaurant was excellent.

Very well organised, great leader and incredibly knowledgeable guide, very comfortable hotel, jam-packed itinerary, flexible programme to take account of e.g. weather.
We’ve never had a less than great holiday with Exodus.
Most Inspirational Moment
Probably the neolithic temples and the town of Mdina
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very interesting, very attentive and accommodating, gave detailed information about possible eating places which was very helpful
Very easy and relaxing holiday, helpful before trip advice, great trip leader
Most Inspirational Moment
The walks each day with spectacular scenery, each day varied. Mohameds knowledge and information was top notch. An impromptu music night arranged by Mohamed and the chefs was magical..
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mohamed was spectacular, very kind, great at judging the group dynamics, good sense of humour, always helpful and ready to go beyond.
Our guide was excellent in all respects and gave us a most wonderful introduction to Marrakech, the mountains, villages, culture and the mountain walking. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
Most Inspirational Moment
Our guide-Mohammed exuded a quiet confidence, was respectful and accommodated the needs of the group very well. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he was generous and gave us a special introduction to village life.
Thoughts on Group Leader
My commentary thus far reflects the special role that our guide played in making this trip so enjoyable. Mohamed is a very gifted individual, a respectful leader, good humoured and highly skilled in managing people, the environment and all the logistics eg water. He is very caring and knowledgeable about all things Morocco and the Amazi people and culture. It was an honour to spend this time with him and his village. He is a special asset for such work.
