Excellent guide, Sandrine. Exodus must retain her!!
Routes, excellent variety, interest and length.
Good hotel. Below average breakfast. I had a very good room, but too much vegetation outside window!! Very good roof top bar.
Good transport.
Flights, don’t like late day flights.

Excellent holiday, I didn't want to come home
I had a great time cycling around Croatia. Our guide was excellent as was the scenery and food. Cycling is a great way to see the country and enjoy the views. We went swimming every day after the ride and was taken to lovely restaurants in the evening.
Most Inspirational Moment
Cycling along the coastline in the sunshine and seeing the lovely clear waters.

Marijo was fantastic, very friendly and welcoming. You couldn't have asked for a better leader.
Advice for Potential Travellers
There are hills so make sure you have a good level of fitness. I used the support bus one morning as it was a steep climb in over 30 degrees which was too much for me. The food was really nice and everyone in the group was lovely and we all had a nice time.

Wonderful Trip
If you like history, visiting beautiful buildings and tasting local food, this is the trip for you. Yes there are some bad roads to contend with, but that’s a small price to pay. The highlights? Bukhara, meeting the eagle hunter and brilliant local guides.
Most Inspirational Moment
Getting up close to a golden eagle.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We had two leaders. Dilshod in Uzbekistan was brilliant - his knowledge of local history was amazing and he also had a great sense of humour. Ermek in Kazakhstan and Kyrgystan was also a great guide - conscientious and a fund of information, particularly about the recent history of the region.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Enjoy the different cultures of Central Asia.

Wonderful scenery, pleasant and safe bike routes and an amazing guide
Our guide Vaida took us to see a fabulous variety of highlights in both large cities and small villages. The three capital cities – Tallin, Riga and Vilnius all had exceptionally interesting landmarks, historic sites and interesting excursions into areas of the every day lives of the people. Large national forests, small fishing villages and lovely seaside towns provided a pleasant contrast to our days in th3 featured cities.
Most Inspirational Moment
The lunch at the fishing village where the host smoked his own fish, the forest roads with nesting storks and the pretty seaside settlements with families of swans were lovely. The cities offered a glimpse into the history and lives of three very interesting countries. Our guide, Vaida, gave us a wealth of interesting interesting information. She was the most impressive guide we have had in our fifteen years of traveling. She anticipated needs, answered a huge variety of questions, found wonderful restaurants. She was literally at our “beck and call” every moment of the trip - and we were an interesting variety of fourteen cyclists.

An amazing tour led by an amazing guide (Dana); saw gorgeous scenery and beautiful, historic towns/villages/cities; great food and company all the way. Only improvement would be more time to spend in each place!!!

Mont Blanc Highlights 9th June 2018
My husband has already done a review and i echo his thoughts. i did find this the most challenging of the walking holidays we have done. We have previously been to Croatia, Turkey (Cappadocia) Picos de Europa, The Dolomites and Slovenia.
The views were wonderful and the food was outstanding. Sarah and Rich were just great hosts.
The paths were fine and the journeys to and from the walks easy. It was lovely being walking distance from Chamonix.
Most Inspirational Moment
The views of Mont Blanc and the abundance of wildflowers. The trip on our day off to the glacier was most interesting.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent. He made sure we kept together as a group and altered the walks where necessary.
Advice for Potential Travellers
As I said, this was the most challenging and just take your time up the steep hills! We were quite a fast group, but we all managed to keep pace.

Beautiful Tuscany
We had an amazing time walking and sampling wines that we had never tried before but are now fans of. Our leader Liz Proctor was excellent, knowledgeable, tirelessly helpful and made our first walking holiday a pleasure. The villa Casalta was rustic and beautiful. The only problem that we had was the plumbing in room 22. The shower diverter was broken. we reported it and they said yes it is broken and did not fix it, also no hot water in the evening after a long day walking. This needs to be rectified. Meals were good apart from the first night where the main course was a sla b of cold pork with gravy!
Most Inspirational Moment
The country side and the walks.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Liz was amazing, looking after everyone checking people were ok on the walks bringing out treats along the way. She arranged for a cake and bottle of wine for my wife’s birthday which was a lovely thought.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The walks are at a pace where most people would be comfortable with.

Good
Really enjoyed the trip as nothing was too much trouble for Liz our leader. The pace was leisurely throughout but thought the terrain warranted a grade of more 2-3 as very hilly at times, and sometimes hard for even for experienced walkers in our group. This should be included in the description/information of the trip details so other walkers are aware. The farmhouse was lovely and very rustic. Food was excellent and three courses for dinner! The only criticism is the showers – they were not hot and after a long day walking and travelling, you definately need a hot shower. Overall, I would definately recommend Exodus.
Most Inspirational Moment
Definately the scenery. Tuscany was very beautiful.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Liz was exceptional and nothing too much trouble.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Any future travellers should be used to walking up and down very steep hills and in the heat.

Thoughts on Group Leader
Budgie and Alex were excellent. very experienced walkers. gave us all a lot of confidence in their ability to lead the group and keep everyone safe. there were also a lot of laughs. great skill at helping group to gel ad get the best out of everyone regardless of their ability. We also had lessons on the geography, history, politics and culture of Slovenia. immensely enjoyable and very interesting.
Advice for Potential Travellers
get yourself fit so that you get the most out of the walking. and bring a swimming costume.
