Our China experience

Truely wonderful, the Great Wall was full of twists and turns, ups and downs , it’s more than I expected. The food was amazing , and we were made very welcome by all. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves mountains as the scenery is second to none , I did the Xi’an extension; great fun seeing the 8th wonder of the world something I won’t forget! To top off this trip we were blessed with WEE WON English name JERRY. He is a true ambassador to his country. He was there 24/7 , full of energy and a graduate in economics, history, and tourism! Thank you exodus.

Most Inspirational Moment

The first sight of the Great Wall brought a tear to my eye , the length history and reason for it’s being there !

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jerry is an ambassador of knowledge in his country, he is a great speaker and very organised, never late, and should be used for any extensions after this trip ;

Advice for Potential Travellers

My advice pack light, wear good walking shoes , there are high climbing up stairs, and slopes down , so a head of heights is needed, and be a little fit or may struggle with pace .

Ancient and Modern Japan

We thoroughly enjoyed the holiday, we loved Japan & the Japanese, loved travelling everywhere on public transport, which was excellent. The holiday lived up to our expectations & certainly fulfilled the title of Ancient & Modern Japan. In the 2 weeks we experienced a good insight into Japan, which has wetted our appetite for further visits.

Most Inspirational Moment

Lots of highlights on the holiday:- Kyoto, golden temple, gravel gardens, textiles, snow monkeys, Bonsai, Japanese people.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent, Tatz was lovely, calm, organised, thoughtful, nice & tall so you couldn’t lose him!!!

Advice for Potential Travellers

The trip is a delight to the senses, one of my favourite trips so far, need to be fairly fit, lots of walking which we enjoyed.

Discover Namibia - Lodges

This trip combines the highlights of the Namibian landscape with game viewing in the parks.

Most Inspirational Moment

The wildlife was the highlight for me. The most memorable being the night drive when we found a lioness at the waterhole nearby, she got up and walked down the road in front of our truck roaring on the way. She then met up with a male and disappeared in to the scrub. On our return to camp that night, she was waiting at the roadside with her mate. My husband and I went to the camp waterhole on returning and found the male there.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ronney was extremely hard working as he also did all the driving on the trip as well as guiding and organising. He was warm friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Along with Jonas the cook the leaders made a good team.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take any cash in South African rand, one Namibian dollar equalled one rand when I was there. Namibian dollars are only available in Namibia and not exchangeable outside the country. Also, whilst you are there take advantage of all opportunities - you may never go back to Namibian. My husband and I, went on the Dolphin cruise (a bit cheesy but fun) with sea lions and pelicans climbing on the boat as well as dolphins surfing in the wake. The flight, a very interesting perspective of the landscape. A full day and a night game drive and in Etosha, very enjoyable, the night drive was particularly interesting (my highlight of the trip). A game drive in Waterbury plateau which had rare species such as Roan and Sable antelope and rhino. Finally on the last day in Windhoek as our flight was not till the evening - we went to Okapuka Ranch - which was a delightful way to end the tour. The restaurant/ bar is beautifully designed with the seats viewing the grounds with animals grazing.

Excellent trip!

Chile is such a beautiful country. It has a very varied landscape from deserts to lakes to glaciers.

Most Inspirational Moment

I loved the flamingo lakes. I felt I was on another planet and could have stayed there all day.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jaime Maynard was superb. I think everyone loved him. He was knowledgable, friendly, laid back and had a great sense of humour.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Definitely pack for all weathers. We experienced temperatures from near freezing right up to 30 degrees.

Peru

Good starter trip for Peru as saw most of the main attractions. Hard going sometimes with long days and huge gaps between meals but overall worth it.
Good guide in Leo.
Amazon extension a bit hit and miss. Jungle walks saw very little except getting bitten to death, but early morning session to see parrots was worth the early start with bonus of seeing 5 Jaguar on rerturn boat trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Colca Canyon and the Condors. I know Machu Pichu should be, but the condors and then the jaguars were it for me.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Leo was well informed and did well juggling all of us and dealing with the sick couple left behind.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Carry snacks/food at all times in case. There were several days when we would have had 8-10 hours between food breaks.

EXCELLENT , BRILLIANT

Had the most brilliant time with Ayaka in Japan. She is truly helpful, genuine, kind and goes out of her way to even arrange activities you might be interested in outside normal touristy things. Moreover, she has really really good taste in food, being a vegetarian, I must say I found Japan to offer some delicious veg. things that she showed me!! Thank you Ayaka, hope to tour with you again!!!

Most Inspirational Moment

Hiroshima Peace Museum, it opened my eyes to alot of things I had to think about.

Thoughts on Group Leader

She is the best!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Japan is amazing, I want to keep going there again and again.

Great Wall and Xian

Great Trip. Hiking the wall was the highlight of this trip. The group got on really well together. The hotel hosts were great. Jerry the guide was fantastic. He knew his job so well. Great guy. The walking was tough at times. The extension to Xian was also good. I would recommend this trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing how big and how long the wall really is.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jerry was so good. He got everyone in the right place at the right times. He made the group feel at ease. This is my third trip with Exodus and he has been the best group leader I have had.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Hiking can be tough at times. There are a lot of steps to go up and down.

Excellent trip

My first walking holiday of this kind was better than I expected. Well organised, great group of people and excellent leader.

Most Inspirational Moment

Enjoying walking in wonderful scenery.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vania was Excellent. Always had a smile.

photography paradise

The country is large, the roads are long and bumpy, however not an inch should be missed. Etosha and the dunes are particularly magnificent.

Most Inspirational Moment

So many inspirational moments. Enduring image three oryx racing towards the dunes, leaving their perfectly formed tracks in their wake. .

Thoughts on Group Leader

Absolutely great, Not only with his driving which on a rainy day got particularly difficult but also with his perseverance in searching for the big photo ops. He was also informative with his tips regarding what we should be expected to pay for local crafts or even toilet fees. He has built a great relationship with local people to ensure the travellers can get the most out of their trip.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make the most of the additional hikes and drives. I particularly recommend the 2.5 hour flight over the sand dunes which was absolutely fabulous not enough words to describe how extensive the desert is.

Fabulous trip!

A guide book can only tell you so much and as I didn’t know anybody else who had been to Albania I really had no idea what to expect.

We had a fabulous tour guide, Edjon, which helped make this holiday one of the best I’ve done with Exodus. He knew everything about EVERYTHING Albanian and related the country’s history with knowledge and passion, and most importantly an understanding on long bus trips of when to leave his group in peace to doze!

The scenery is spectacular. I’ve never seen so many beautiful little churches and Gjirokaster and Kruge in particular were lovely.

Hotels and breakfasts were all of a good standard. None of the hotels had tea/coffee making facilities but all had hairdryers.
By day seven I still had money left from the £100 I’d changed into lek and that was after drinking wine with dinner every night!

It’s not all beautiful countryside, white stone buildings and UNESCO sites but so much of it is that it’s definitely a place worth visiting. I loved it.

Most Inspirational Moment

Too many to name!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Far and away the best tour leader I’ve ever had.
