Michela Wicks , is a great leader . Encouraging , up beat , Kind and Knowledgeable . Location of Hotel is good .
Madagascar is great, unique & marvelous but one needs to be very fit to enjoy this amazing adventure
The trip is rated as leisurely & I would rate it challenging. We had extremely long travel days in the vehicles on winding bumpy roads (5 hr, 6 hr, 11 hr, etc.) The trip notes advise some long days, but we weren’t expecting such challenges just traveling in the van; our muscles were all tensed up by the end of each drive. The hiking to get to the Lemurs requires a person to be very fit in order to scramble up steep banks, cross streams, climbing steps up & down, & bushwhacking for 4 hrs at a time. It would be helpful to put this information in the ‘Is this trip for you’ section
Most Inspirational Moment
The most inspirational moment was getting so close to the lemurs, we could practically touch them. We had the joy of watching a number of different groups for long periods times. I have tracked the mountain gorillas & traveled all over the world, but have never been in such a unique country. Ever day was filled with adventure & excitement & new destinations. It took a lot of effort & challenge to do this trip, but at the end of the day it was totally worth it. Go now before it gets to filled with Tourists.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader was Vola & she was excellent.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Read the trip notes carefully & be in very good physical condition so you can enjoy every moment of this amazing country.
Great trip
One of the best trip leaders I’ve seen in almost 20 holidays with Exodus; lovely family run hotel; amazing gelato and great walking.
Most Inspirational Moment
The lunch on the beach - great barbecue food and awesome views.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Alexis was knowledgable, caring, considerate and good fun to be with. He was one of the best trip leaders I have come across.
Wonderful trip
What a fab trip. Great weather, wonderful company, and the gorgeous Dalmatian coast. The ride exceeded our expectations, it was a little tougher than we expected, some of the hills were longer than we expected, but always doable.
Our guide Marijo was the best, full of information, little stories about the places we saw. He was helpful and kind to a fault, we couldn’t praise him highly enough.
Most Inspirational Moment
The long sweeping descent on day 3 of the ride. The wonderful homestead visit.
Thoughts on Group Leader

Great Trip!
Excellent trip. A nice combination of historical sites and cycling. Our local guides offered to provide guidance for the evening meals so the culinary experience was also top notch.
The two guides were both very passionate about sharing their history and culture. I can’t say enough good things about Dimitris Steriotis and Dimitris Gotsis.
Most Inspirational Moment
It is literally hard to pick as there were three categories of highlights: Favourite site: the theatre at Epidarous Cycling: the km downhill stretch into the pistachio orchard Meal: Petite Planette Other fav: swimming in the Aegean Sea
Thoughts on Group Leader
Both group leader and support driver were excellent. Dimitris and Dimitris were a good team that worked well together.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be open to eating with group. Do some long rides with uphill before you go. Prepare to enjoy yourself.
Awesome trip
Our guides were great. They shared their passion for Greek History, Greek culture, Greek food and cycling.
Most Inspirational Moment
When I was able to ride down switchbacks and think that it was fun, rather than terrifying!
Thoughts on Group Leader
I found both Dimitris ‘ to be very supportive. I am a relatively new cyclist and they helped me get more comfortable with many aspects of cycling.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don’t be shy about sharing your meals! The guides picked well, the food was terrific and the cost was reasonable. We got to taste many dishes this way!
Amazing scenery & lots of laughs
We have recently returned from our first cycling holiday with Exodus and whilst I don’t usually do reviews this time I felt compelled to write to say how impressed we were. Fantastic scenery, great cycling, a lovely group and exceptional guide.
Most Inspirational Moment
On the second day of cycling, making it up an extremely long uphill section in mid 30s heat. It was worth the effort for the views & downhill section.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our exceptional leader Marijo was great fun and always went the extra mile even on his day off. He was always very encouraging and took great care of everyone's needs.
Advice for Potential Travellers
As previous reviewers have said make sure your preparation includes plenty of hills.
My first with Exodus Travels
Exodus Travels was recommended to me and I chose this trip because it is a region of natural beauty and would enable me to make a good assessment of the activity levels. Trip information and fitness plan were very useful. Chalet Chamonix is a very good location; our hosts Sara and Richard were excellent; informative, good natured and food to “die for”. Beyond all our expectations. Our guide Shaun Rhodes was very competent, unassuming but maintained a unity within the group which made every day a pleasure. We were very fortunate to have great weather, the views were stunning.
Most Inspirational Moment
The opportunity to view Mont Blanc from the air - paraglide.
Cycling in four wonderful countries
This was my second Exodus trip and it was great as the first one. Dana was delightful, always willing to assist you with any request. She was assisted by Lubos. A very good driver and mechanic, always with a smile in his face.
We started the trip in the busy city of Prague , after a few days in the city I was so happy to get away. We got to the lovely town of Cesky Krumlov, it was a very relaxing day. After the first day the cycling got more challenging, we cycle through the hilly countryside. It was beautiful but really hilly. I’m not that good at hills since I lived in “FLAT” Florida.
All the cities we stop in the Czech Republic were memorable; Trebon, Telc, Mikulov. I will love to visit them again. The tour of the winery in Mikulov, so much fun. The Czech Republic beer and ice cream unforgettable.
The cycling tour of the city of Vienna is a most. And in the afternoon go and jump in the Danube.
The ride from Vienna to Bratislava was beautiful, a very long relaxing ride.Then we’re in Hungary, time go so fast. Finally the magnificent city of Budapest. Just AMAZING!
Most Inspirational Moment
On day six on our way from Telc to Mikulov (a very hot day) we stop in a small river and Dana and some of us jumped in the water. It was so hot that we didn’t care. It was fun...
Thoughts on Group Leader
Dana was excellent. Since she was the only leader in our group she was always making sure that everybody was accounted for.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Just enjoy your trip.
