What an amazing trip! I cannot thank the Exodus team enough. This really exceeded my expectations every Inca step of the way.
The tour guide was amazing, the porter team could not have looked after us better, and the whole experience was fantastic.
The trek is tough, but so rewarding. Getting to the top of dead woman’s pass on day two made me feel like Superwoman!
The country of Peru is so beautiful that the views brought tears to my eyes.
I cannot recommend this trip enough – just book it and see!
Climbing up the steps to the Sun Gate to see the first view of Machu Picchu made us all cry in awe.
Dennis was outstanding! He was supportive, knowledgable, and felt like an old friend- I can't thank him enough.
Read the notes! Walking at high altitude is tough so you need to prepare properly.
This is truly the trip of a lifetime. It was everything we wanted in terms of wildlife viewing, amazing scenery and getting out into the wilderness.
Getting so close to Denali on the mountain flight and landing on a glacier. Glacier hike and ice climbing.
Both Darin and Jordan were FANTASTIC and worked tirelessly to make sure that everyone was enjoying their experience. Their organisation, safe driving skills and approachable manner really made our trip. Also great cooking skills.
Take plenty of layers, it was really warm on some days and really cold on some nights. Be prepared for some rain and take effective waterproofs and / or ponchos. Some of the activities have waterproofs available to use which were better than ours. Make sure that you do the hike to the Harding Icefield if you can. The views are spectacular. It seemed like it was going to be a rainy day when we started but it did clear up. It is a strenuous walk, but there are views even if you don't go all the way up.
As a newcomer to Exodus travels I was pleasantly surprised how well structured and organised this trip was.
The team John B. (our intrepid hike leader) and Emily S.( camp organizer and chef par excellence )was exceptional with their cheerful ,easy going approach yet professional on every level.I so appreciated the smiles and jokes- even in adverse weather conditions .
Their engagement made this tour through this magnificent landscape even more memorable.Thanks again to both !!
To experience the peace in magnificent surroundings and the friendship of like minded people.
Our leader was at all times aware and attentive. He is very knowledgeable and was helpful in all questions that came up. John made the hike enjoyable in knowing when to motivate and lead by example with a cheerful calmness.
Have clothing for all seasons and try to swim in some of the pristine lakes !
How’s that for a title, and when in life can you say that about anything? But yes, indeed, this trip was the perfect combination of everything. We had brilliant scenery (no credit to Exodus for that); wonderful walks, instruction, and guidance (courtesy of John B); a mix of good and bad weather (John called it “mountain weather,” and others would say that there’s no just thing as “bad” weather, just the wrong clothing); and memorable stays, meals, and snacks at our campsites (courtesy of Emily S). Tanya in our group was clever enough to do her research and pick our departure based on past reviews which mentioned John, while it was just dumb luck for me. We were fortunate to also have Emily, who joined Exodus this season and did her job like a pro. I read the positive reviews before I booked the trip and can vouch that they’re all true. This trip will stay in my heart as a favorite. Thank you, Exodus and High Trails!
John tried to inspire us to challenge ourselves by hiking up to Col de Tricot as fast as we could, and I was motivated to do so.
This trip exceeded my expectations on all levels. The walks were varied, the scenery was stunning and our guide Liz was fabulous. We were a group of 12 people (3 couples, 3 single women, a mother & daughter and a single man) and got on well, looked out for each other and laughed a lot. The accommodation was beautiful and the hospitality and food provided at the family run agriturismo, couldn’t be faltered. It was an added bonus having the swimming pool on hand for a quick cool-down in the evening or to swim a few laps before breakfast.
The mountains and the people we met but the whole trip was inspirational in many ways.
Liz was amazing, professional, fun, friendly and very knowledgeable about the local area. Despite different paces and fitness levels in the group, Liz ensured we walked as a group, whilst also managing individual needs. Liz went out of her way to accommodate us on many occasions, by making detours to go to a chemist, transporting some to Lucca on the non-walking day and then driving some of us to our next stop when the holiday ended. I cannot praise Liz enough and I'm considereing a similar holiday she recommended, for next year.
My husband and I found the walks to be at the upper end of moderate, possibly due to the heatwave we encountered whilst there and recommend that people add electrolyte sachets to their drinking water, which we found prevented de-hydration and stiffness in the legs.
This was my first big trip alone and Severio and all the group made me feel very welcome. It was hot but Severio gave us plenty of stops and the views were amazing. The hotel staff were friendly and the hotel comfortable. The food was varied and excellent. There was a good balance between walking, relaxing and other activities.
Walking around the rim of Vesuvius -only Exodus clients were doing that The 'walk of the gods' and the views from all the walks. The food and the cooking demos
Severio is very knowledgeable, has lots of useful local connections, is thoughtful to everyone and works hard.
Cycling South East Asia . We cycled from Bangkok to Saigon – crossed borders , through jungles , stayed in accommodation varying from hotels to homestay – all seamlessly organised by our group leader Chiaya .
It's difficult to explain the insight we got into the history , religion ,countryside and cuisine in such a short time but it was very powerful and will stay with me.
Chiaya , our group leader was the most professional group leader I have ever encountered . He anticipated every problem and diffused any tension with great intelligence , charm and kindness . His knowledge of the history and religions of the countries is comprehensive , but it is his unfailing good humour and positivity that will remain with me and my husband and I'm sure all the group .
Absolutely the best thing we have ever done. Loved every second of this trip.
Meeting the group we travelled with, the group leader Chai and all the support team. The scenery was fantastic, as was the cycling. The organisation of the whole trip was faultless and smooth, from check in to the hotels to the bikes up and ready to go each day. The snacks along the way were wonderful (especially in Thailand).
Absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, helpful with a great sense of humour. Chai made the trip what it was....amazing.
Do it...you will love it. Pack light and spend more money on some decent cycling shorts.
A most excellent holiday led by Thomas, who was an knowledgeable guide, and who adjusted the walks according to the group ability and the temperature which was in the mid 30s Centigrade. Walking in such temperatures and at such altitudes can be challenging. Thank goodness for fresh water springs on the hillsides!
The guesthouse was well appointed and the food was excellent. An honesty bar came in for much use when we returned from our travels!
The major criticism arose when we came to settle our bills at the end of the week as the guesthouse did not take credit cards. This MUST be added to the travellers advice as there is no access to cash machines without a long drive. We only just managed to cobble together enough money by adding £ sterling, Lei and a few dollars which we had fortunately carried.
Seeing bears in the wild
Knowledgeable and efficient
Take plenty of cash - no cash machines anywhere near the guesthouse.
Firstly, I wish to thank EXODUS for allowing an 87 year old to take this trip. It was such a rewarding experience and I was very touched when on the last evening the group praised me and said I was an inspiration to them. I did opt out of only two activities but I was not the only one. Although I was with my daughter, our guide, KHOA DUONG , was wonderfully encouraging too. In fact he was outstanding the way he showed sensitivity to the group as a whole and altered timings and activities according to our energy levels or more to the point, how we were all coping with the heat and humidity! I was impressed with his knowledge of the history of Vietnam as it affected different areas of the population and he always gave both sides of the story. His impartiality was without irony too. At the end of the trip were all felt like an extended family, with myself as the great- grandmother.
The war museum in saigon
KHOU DUONG was the absolute best. I have already commented o n this
Make sure you have extra batteries and a memory card for your camera
