Bathing in the wonders of Japan

Superb leader, luxurious onsens, testing hiking, dramatic biking on superb bikes, more trains than Michael Portillo, and raw fish with an occasional snail to eat

Most Inspirational Moment

Trains that arrive and depart on time from an absolutely spotless litter free station

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ayako was a superb logistician, very knowledgeable, an excellent communicator and a good friend

Advice for Potential Travellers

Seize every onsen opportunity - especially being buried in hot sand and also lying on a bed of herbs in a roasting steamy cave!

Glamping on the Inca Trail

The Inca trail glamping trip exceeded our expectations

Most Inspirational Moment

the highlight was reading the Sungate after 4 days hiking and seeing Machu Picchu

Thoughts on Group Leader

Henry was an extremely experienced leader with great social and organisational skills. He did a fabulous job managing the team of guides, cooks and porters with such a lovely manner. He always gave clear instructions about our activities and really took care of all our requirements and needs.

Galapagos Escape - Solaris (Itinerary B)

The SolarisB trip in the Galapagos islands was fantastic. Very comfortable boat, great food and excellent guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the amazing wildlife on land and underwater so close was fabulous. We were lucky to be there is the mating season and we saw a blue-footed boobies courtship display right on the path. Swimming with hammerhead sharks and sealions was amazing

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent. Very knowlegable about the wildlife etc

The best bike trip you'll do. From someone whose done a few

As an Exodus staff member (quality control Director) – whose done 6 different cycling trips – you wont get better than this one. The combination of superb local leader& driver, quiet cycle routes and stunning southern Italian towns is almost perfect.

Most Inspirational Moment

We all loved the first 2 rides. On the quietest of rural backroads between Matera and Alberobello, and Alberobello and Ostuni. Topped off by a welcome stay at a rural Masseria with large gardens, a great pool and lovely resturant.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alessandro Tau is one of the best. Charm, personality, humour and care that we get the best experience. He also happens to be a qualified sommelier (knows the best local Primitvo wines) and archaeologist!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Book it - if possible aim for early / late season to avoid some of the holiday traffic that builds into June to Sept.

Highlights of Albania

An interesting country to visit: mountainous scenery; archaeological sites; mosques and churches; enjoyable food and wine; and friendly people.

Most Inspirational Moment

Berat and Kruje are attractive cities. The Bunk Museum in Tirana, which lays bare the oppression under Enver Hoxha, is sobering. Some beautiful icons, especially in the museum in Korce.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Artur, our guide, was very diligent, ensuring that every part of the trip ran smoothly. He provided lots of information about a country which he loves and went out of his way - and was personally generous - to try to ensure that everyone enjoyed the trip. Artur picked good local restaurants for optional group meals. Our driver, Diu, drove very safely and, despite having no more than a few words of English, was very much part of the group - not least through taking, and circulating, many excellent photos.

Advice for Potential Travellers

We went out a day early and came back a day late, so that we could get direct BA flights. On our extra day at the end, we had a beautiful walk up 2,000 feet to the top of the mountain behind the hotel to visit the sanctuary there - a good option if you have the time and energy.

Best cycling tour - so far!

This trip came well reviewed from many other travellers I have met on other cycling trips so we had so see what it was all about – expectations were exceeded in every way. The cycling was challenging but rewarding, the team flawless, most importantly, it provided an immersive experience in the very best Sri Lanka has to offer that you simply can’t get from seeing the country any other way.

Most Inspirational Moment

Too many to list, but cycling through the tea plantations and having dinner at a locals house were special standouts.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Suresh was THE most professional, personable and attentive guide we have ever had. They have all been fantastic, but he took it to a new level, bravo.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you want to be exposed to everything this country has to offer then - book it and go!

Discover North Morocco & Chefchaouen

I thought the trip was very well organized. Our guide was fantastic and I enjoyed the variety of activities. They included in the tour. I also liked that it was a smaller group. We were about 10+ the guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

The mask in Casablanca the Rif mountains, Chefchaouen.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Aman was an excellent leader. He was very organized. He always gave us lots of information, especially about wherever we were visiting locally. He was very kind very funny sociable everyone really enjoyed him.

Highlights of Morocco

Hassan was an outstanding tour leader who looked after us very well.He made sure that we had plenty of toilet stops, gave us water for our drinking bottles and a drop of sanitiser every time we came back in the bus after a stop. He showed us how people live in Morocco, explained their way of life, the education system, the religion, monarchy women rights, men’s duties. We stayed in interesting authentic places. The ride on the camels in the Sahara to out tent accommodation was a high light.

Most Inspirational Moment

The ride on the camel through the Sahara. The deep blue sky against the sand. Visiting Fes and all the sights. Eating in special local places. Meeting locals in their houses.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Hassan knows his country very well. He is a very good ambassador for Morocco. He made sure that everyone was happy. He interacted well with everyone and made sure that we were safe. He even organised 2 birthday cakes, one was for my husband.

The Inca Trail

Every detail was delivered as promised. The quality of the food and supplies were great. Healthy and innovative meals. Our guide shared his passion for the beauty and history rich country of Peru.

Most Inspirational Moment

Our guide, Whilder, shared so much history and information with our group. Also the friends we made within our group were amazing.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Whilder cared that we succeeded on our hike. Safety was important. The amount of knowledge shared with our group was amazing. Our guide was friendly and spent every minute working on the details to make the trip a success. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!

North Morocco - full of surprises

The trip covered alot of ground and gave a real insight into the different dimensions of Northern Morocco. We had a great group and group leader. Some thoughts on potential changes to the itinerary:
* would have liked more time in Tangiers on the 2nd day to explore the medina; the morning felt rushed.
* Loved Chefchouen, but felt that it would have been good to leave for the mountains after breakfast and taken a picnic. The mountain environment and refuge were special and it would have been good to have had more time and done more walking there
Fes was a great highlight to end with, both from the place itself and the riad
Transport back to the airport was efficient and well organised

Most Inspirational Moment

Hussain 11 mosque in Casablanca - the beauty and craftsmanship was out if thus world Also our time on our own when we arrived in Casablanca. It was Ead and to see all the crowds out celebrating by the mosque on the Sunday afternoon was amazing

Thoughts on Group Leader

Aman was very knowledgeable, especially about his home town Chefchouen. If we caught him out with a question he couldn’t answer, always researched and came back. He was well organised and made the trip relaxed and fun.
