Discover North Morocco & Chefchaouen

Everything runs like clockwork, the guide was fantastic, and it’s a great mixture of experiences to really highlight the country.

Most Inspirational Moment

Tour of Chefchouen and the tour of Fes Medina.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Aman was superb. All organisation was perfect and nothing was too much trouble. He was extremely good at giving us information about Morocco, about Moslem culture and local traditions. It was nice he was from the local area of Chefchouen so knew it very well

Discover Sri Lanka

Very well organised trip visiting a variety of places in Sri Lanka. The guide Prathap was excellent, along with the driver and assistant. The coach was very comfortable with lots of space and was maintained well. The activities offered were varied and highly enjoyable. The hotels were all comfortable and clean. The food options were excellent and vegetarians were well catered for. The cultural experiences were superb and the meals provided by local villages were wonderful.

Most Inspirational Moment

Sigiriya - the climb to the fortress and Hotel Sigiriya was superb. Temple of the Tooth experience at Kandy. Dambulla temples were awesome. Birdsong and sightings of birds, from the balconies at The Covanro and Earls Regent Hotel. The walk at Horton Plains. Elephants at Minneriya and at Elephant Transit Home. Time at Ahangama on the beach and at Insight Hotel. Bike ride at Girithale and lunch in village. Food at all times was superb.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lovely, sociable and friendly. Calm organised manner, which meant everything ran smoothly. He seemed to know what we would like, so I felt very well catered for. Our travelling seemed to be all on time, there were no delays or surprises. Prathap used Whattsapp to give us our itinerary the night before, which was great.

Discover Costa Rica

The trip was extremely well organised, with very good accommodation and food, an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, beautiful and interesting locations, and the focus on wildlife and habitats that I hoped for.

Most Inspirational Moment

Too many to mention them all but here are a few which spring to mind....listening to the roar of the sea from my room at the lodge at Tortuguero ; seeing my first toucan; hearing the howler monkeys at night; seeing a real sloth in the wild; seeing the elusive quetzel twice( thanks to Alejandro's expert knowledge of nesting sites) ; celebrating my husband's birthday in Costa Rica ( with a rousing song from the waiters and cake, again organised by Alejandro); seeing all the exotic birds in the botanical gardens at Equinas and Savegre.

Thoughts on Group Leader

I am overawed by his excellent knowledge of the Costa Rican wildlife (flora and fauna) and his ability to communicate his knowledge and enthusiasm. His organisational skills were excellent, as was his method of telling us or daily itinerary in advance, then messaging it to us with timings as well as , telling us what to bring, when we would get comfort stops etc. Plus, he was caring and also had a great sense of humour. His daily talks on the bus were very informative. I learnt loads about the costa Rican way of life. And I think he went above and beyond with the early morning guided walks to see the wildlife (The Awakenings)

Vietnam & Cambodia Highlights

Tour was really well organised, tour guides were professional and had great knowledge of the area. Hotels were great with everything that was needed.

Most Inspirational Moment

Halong Bay Hoi An Siem Reap - Angkor Wat

Thoughts on Group Leader

Both leaders were really professional and very knowledgeable. They both joined on the group in the evenings when we went out and we're always available when needed.

Cycling Vietnam

Amazing trip. The tour leader Tien was fantastic. All the logistics were sorted so that all we had to do was enjoy a stress free holiday. Vietnam is an amazing country with super friendly people and fabulous food

Most Inspirational Moment

My highlights were numerous but I particularly loved staying in the Vietnamese resort Qui Nhon and seeing the aerobics at 5.30am and the visit to Ha long bay.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our tour leader Tien was exceptional and was really committed to making sure every stage of the tour was amazing

Vietnam Highlights

The hotels were very good.
The organisation by the guide was great.
We felt looked after and safe.
The itinerary was very good.
The guide really made the trip. This enabled the group to be cohesive as there was no complaining about the guide. He could not do enough to be informative and caring.

 

Most Inspirational Moment

I suppose Hoi An as it has a beach, town etc. But en route we went to some caves and they were very interesting. With only 8 days I think I would leave out Hanoi as this necessitates a flight and thats a large part of the day gone. I would have been happy to go to Da Nang, Hue and Hoi An

Thoughts on Group Leader

I cannot say how excellent he was. Such a pleasant man and so willing to assist everybody. He could not have done more. If there were an award then I think he should be considered. I also liked that the Exodus team in Vietnam or I think it was them contacted me via Whats App before the tour started with a few details.

Highlights of Ecuador & the Galapagos

Trip lived up to all expectations, was well organised and the guides were great

Most Inspirational Moment

So many but the Galapagos does stand out as the main highlight, so much wildlife to see it was magical. Swimming with sea lions, penguins and turtles. Seeing them close up and the Marine Iguanas, Giant Tortoises, Blue Footed boobies and Frigits.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Both were very good, friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable Johanna’s organisation outstanding Wilson went above and beyond to take videos while we snorkelled and shared them on the WhatsApp group

Discover Costa Rica

The Itinerary was well thought out. The Tour Leader Alejandro Rodriguez was excellent in looking after the group, ensuring we knew what to expect each day and putting in extra effort for the group, including several before breakfast walks to look for wildlife. His local knowledge was superb. The driver, Gustavo Ramirez was excellent too. The hotels were great, in excellent locations and good food.

Most Inspirational Moment

Many highlights. I loved seeing the wildlife, which was greatly enhanced by the tour leader's knowledge and experience. The accommodation at Esquinas, Tortuguero and Savegre were amazing locations.

Thoughts on Group Leader

As already mentioned, I thought Alejandro was excellent. He put in a lot of extra effort for the group and his knowledge was amazing.

Highlights of Sicily

Tiziano was key in giving us a great experience through his love and enthusiasm of country as well as his strong educational background of the history of Sicily . The coordination from the airport, to tours and hotels was fantastic

Most Inspirational Moment

The visiting of the ruins and the history/storytelling of the guides and Tiziano brought it all together

Thoughts on Group Leader

If I were to ever return to Italy and could possibly have Tiziano as a tour leader again, it would be amazing. He was enthusiastic, flexible and knowledgeable. Couldn’t ask for a better leader

What a fantastically amazing trip!

There are almost no words to describe how fulfilling this Kerala trip was. I have taken a lot of interesting trips in my time, including northern India, but this really touched my soul like nowhere else and I cannot explain why. There wasn’t anything that I didn’t love about the trip. The food was great, the people were so, so friendly, the group was fantastic, the countryside so pretty, hotels were comfortable and the cycling was something I have never done before but really enjoyed. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the elephant walking in the festival parade. I never thought for a minute I would see that in Kerala. But also meeting so many lovely locals along the route

Thoughts on Group Leader

Safi was a great leader. He made sure we always knew where we were going and when and checked that everyone in the group was ok with that. He left some flexibility so that we could add in some interesting excursions when the opportunities arose. A great combination of leadership and teamwork.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Kerala is so beautiful and cycling at grass roots level lets you see and hear everything going on around. You can stop whenever there is something interesting to see (every 5 minutes!) If you are interested in this type of immersive trip but don’t fancy cycling, hire an e-bike. Best of both worlds.
