Cycling the Dalmation coastal Islands

My first cycling holiday and thoroughly enjoyed it. A well humored group of 9 lead by Alan Skulic all going along at our own speeds.Bikes were very good with disc brakes.Suggest activity level 4 for the hill climbs on day 1 and 2 but we all got up them with nobody using the bus. Restaurants for lunch and evening meals were hand picked and very good although the one in Korcula took a long time to bring out the meals. Optional middle day, some went to Mjet island and the three Musketeers cycled to the next town Korcula for pizza and ice cream then back to the hotel pool and bar. We were spoilt by blue sky days which always enhance any trip. Final day in Dubrovnik was great with a walk around the city walls. Want to revisit Croatia and soon!

Most Inspirational Moment

Getting to the top of the hills! But you need to get to the top to enjoy the amazing long runs downs at speed through the hills with great views.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alan was a great guide and was really one of us, day and evening answering any questions on geography, politics and social subjects with enthusiasm and good humour. Very punctual and organised.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pack light, may need a rain jacket but we were lucky. We took our own saddles which they are happy to fit for you. Practice some hill climbs before you go if not a regular cyclist like me. Plenty of cash machines around and we got better rates than UK changing Sterling cash for Kunas in hotel or bank.

Amazing trip

I hadn’t been on an Exodus cycling trip before but after this week I would definitely go again! Between the stunning scenery, delicious food and incredibly knowledgeable group leaders it was an amazing week that I would certainly recommend to anyone even if they have been to Greece before. We spent 5 days cycling, visiting some of Greece’s most famous ancient sites and ending up in a small picturesque town on the coast every night other than at the end of Day 5 where we stayed in a lovely hotel up in the hills near Mycenae. We had a great group and all ate together in the evenings where our group leaders usually selected some typical Greek food for us to try which was delicious. All in all a really amazing trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting Epidavros and cycling around the coast near Napflio

Thoughts on Group Leader

Yannis and Constantinos were as good as we could have hoped as group leaders. Yannis had a huge amount of knowledge about all of the ancient sites we visited as well as excellent general knowledge on a number of other topics including politics, philosophy, art and geology so he was excellent company and could answer every question we threw at him. Constantinos drove the van behind us and prepared amazing lunches that were waiting for us every day as well as providing constant snacks and water when we stopped for breaks. He dealt with any bike issues that arose quickly and with great humour and was a real asset to the trip.

Sierra de Aitana Trek

Great trip to a beautiful and interesting area. The fragrant wild flowers (in June) were an added treat. Probably not considered a headline destination but shouldn’t be missed. The local accommodation was clean, comfortable and hospitable and situated near two lovely villages.

Fabulous Holiday

Just back from this trip and left wanting to return. Hotel serves very good food and the staff really look after you. Each day is very different and full leaving very little time to sit by the small pool before dinner. You will see all there is too see on the Amalfi Coast which is absolutely stunning. I was with a great bunch of people.

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting Herculaneum, Ravello, Pompeii, Path of the Gods, walking up last part of Vesuvius and Naples. I intended not to visit Naples, however, I was pleased I did as Eduardo took the group to fabulous places especially a special restaurant for lunch.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Eduardo is very knowledgable and seems to know everyone along the Amalfi Coast! He arranges all the transport at the right time to suit each day. He took eight of us to Pompeii on the free day and arranged a guide.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The trip is full but you see so much so just enjoy every moment. You do need walking poles for Vesuvius and especially path of the gods. I did the 700 steps which was hard in the heat but would recommend as fabulous views. Positano is wonderful too especially the ice cream after walk!

Almalfi Coast

Excellent staff and support. Fantastic views, riding and lunches!

Most Inspirational Moment

The ride is in parts challenging which suited me. My wife is not such a strong rider and the support was excellent. From Salerno she was offer an electric bike which greatly assisted for the ride to Sorrento and back to Minori.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Parlo was obliging and very well informed with points of interest en route.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This is a must do ride!

Bears, dogs and porridge

An exciting trip with real bears in beautiful location.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing bears from the bear hide. The fact that the minute we sat down, a bear appeared.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Thomas was kind, knowledgeable and fun to be with.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take earplugs because the dogs really do bark all night long.

Classic Inca Trail

Absolutely loved the entire experience.

Most Inspirational Moment

The most inspirational moment was reaching the summit on day 2, of Dead Woman's Pass. I had read so much about it and to finally know I could do the climb was amazing. Also the beauty of the location of our campsite on the third night took my breath away. I didn't want to leave

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just book the trip. Then get your fitness levels up. But don't hesitate, you can and will do it. It's totally achievable. Don't worry about the altitude. Follow the recommendations and you'll be fine.

Cycling in the Baltics

Vaida is an exceptional tour guide, I would go on any trip with her. The biking was great and the areas were beautiful. Really get a nice sense of the country. But we had beautiful weather, very lucky. The one thing I would change is the hotel in Kleipeda; it was so terrible it almost ruined the trip for me. Also, vegetarians need to make arrangements – bring protein bars, etc, because it is mostly meat and fish.

Most Inspirational Moment

Most inspirational moment of the trip was along the roads around Lake Peipsi. Beautiful houses.

Thoughts on Group Leader

She was exceptional, I would follow her on any trip.

Sicilian volcanoes

This was a most enjoyable trip- a very congenial group of fellow travellers,a fabulous guide & getting up close to some volcanoes in the stunning Aeolian islands

Most Inspirational Moment

Sitting on the rim of Stromboli in the dark ,on warm volcanic ash watching fireworks every 15-20 minutes preceded by a deep roar emitting from the depths of the earth. The walk back down the side of the volcano in the dark was pretty special too!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Maria Merlini was an exceptionally good leader - always in good humour despite the fact that she was unwell.She was very knowledgeable about the flora of the region as well as the geology & history.Always aware of everyone's safety & providing options for those in the group who didn't want to do some of the major climbs. Being of a more mature age she was perfect for our group who were all post 40.
