Colours of Rajasthan
We had a great experience, amazing tour guides and everything went smoothly. We also really enjoyed the meals and activities planned for us.
We would recommend and would like to do another group tour.

It is a well planned trip. Guide was excellent.

Walking and glacier trip. Trip to see the penguins from Ushuaia.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Santiago was an excellent leader. Right from the start one felt confident that the group was in very capable hands. His knowledge, enthusiasm and genuine desire that all enjoy and have a wonderful experience in his country was obvious from the start. His knowledge and advice about the level of the treks was also invaluable.
Cycle Kerala & Tropical India
Excellently structured tour with plenty variety and balanced pace and rhythm of cycle activity and other experiences.

Thoughts on Group Leader
David has been the best tour leader I have ever had the privilege to have to meet he was the most helpful person nothing was to much trouble always willing to help in any way he could and his knowledge of the area and animals and plants outstanding
Thrilling mix of cycling and culture
We visited in Jan-Feb 2026. The trip includes interesting visits to a number of major palaces, forts and temples, and of course the fantastic Taj Mahal, but our key memory will be the chaos and cacophony of the traffic and the enthusiastic waving of the villagers as we passed along the country lanes. Our leaders took excellent care of us, enabling us to navigate our way around safely, whether on foot or by bike. Expect appalling road surfaces, litter strewn verges, and constant hooting, but expect also wide smiles, vibrant saris and a glimpse into a very different way of life to our own. I was worried about getting ill, but only one person in our group of 10 got a tummy bug (lasted 24 hours). One person came off their bicycle in a low speed collision in a village centre, with no harm done.
Most Inspirational Moment
The Taj Mahal was as amazing as it is reputed to be , while Kumbhalgarh fort was all the more impressive for being totally unexpected and somewhere we had never heard of.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We had two leaders - Manish and Manu, both excellent. The trip ran smoothly with a lot of attention to details that we hardly noticed but made all the difference; for example, when we needed to cross a busy road, they held up the traffic for us, apparently by force of personality.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The weather in January is cool in the evenings and we ate outside on roof top terraces on a number of occasions - take warm clothing for this. During the day however it is hot. You will also need warmish cycling clothes for the early ride in Delhi. Ear plugs are advisable, both for the night on the train and in case you are disturbed by wedding parties (Jan/Feb is wedding season). The pollution was no where near as bad as we had been led to believe, possibly because it had rained a lot just before we arrived, but a buff was still useful on the dusty roads.
Discover Costa Rica
As hoped, weighted towards birding and wildlife. Guide Jonathan extremely knowledgeable in these ares and went out of his way to introduce us to as many species as possible.
Most Inspirational Moment
Boat trips in Tortuguero, despite being soaked, saw great variety of bird and wildlife. Excellent knowledgeable pilot worked well with guide. Quetzal unexpectedly flying close overhead. Night walks interesting.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Jonathan was very keen to give us an understanding of his country and its history. Superb birder. Some initial misunderstandings regarding group's preference for light lunches, but listened and tried to give better choices.
Loved it
A really interesting trip, which shows something both of modern, recent and ancient Cambodia. Lovely people, food etc and made a bit more special by our guide, Ly, whose passion and personal experience, as well as his commitment to us and to his country, made it very special. Not a fast paced trip, possibly the first time I have come back from holiday feeling relaxed – but maybe that isn’t a bad thing
Most Inspirational Moment
I loved Angkor Wat and I was horrified by the Killing Fields. But, strangely, for me, there was two inspirational moments. One was Ly explaining how Buddhism helps people move on from the regime - whether that works for everyone or not is another thing, however taking those concepts on board is healthy for all of us. The other was the stilt village near Tonle Sap lake, built to cope with the massive increase in water levels during the monsoon. Seeing their resilience and acceptance was, again, another lesson to take on board.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ly is one of the best group leaders I have experienced with Exodus - and I have probably been on around 15 or more trips now. His expertise and experience showed through, never rushing us, always foreshadowing, always being able to supply what was needed. He was the exemplary host, proud of his country, his family, his culture whilst also recognising what was not quite so great. And, of course, the stories he shared of his and his family's experiences added a resonance that we need when we are trying to comprehend the horrors of human behaviour
Advice for Potential Travellers
There is a surprisingly large amount of down time on this trip and, for a couple of us, that was quite hard to adjust to - taking a few novels helped me - but maybe its not such a bad thing really. Mainly, go now. Cambodia is changing fast now, there is a lot of building going on, the government are trying to move it forward. We went to Koh Rong island, which is idyllic -however, we came across the building site for a multistorey glass fronted hotel and heard tell of the airport being built. Everywhere has to evolve, take the chance to see a phase in Cambodia's story before it disappears. And there is plenty to do in Siem Reap if you can extend - I definitely would have seen more of Angkor Wat and also the centre for the landmine seeking rats if I had stayed longer.
Discover North Morocco & Chefchaouen
Despite the torrential rain in Fez and feeling very cold at times, I loved the format of the trip. Aman led us well & was informative, relevant and with a sense of humour who willingly answered all questions.
Excellent tour guide, who adapted well to the group Interesting itinerary and saw many interesting places. Great culture and geography.
Most Inspirational Moment
Tangier coastline Visiting Chefchouen… it’s the reason I went on the trip.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Aman really made this trip work so well. He was brilliant. Exodus should keep a hold of him. Aman did great on a new trip. Impressed with train & transfer organised by Aman from Fez to Marrakech. He went above & beyond.
Snowshoeing in the Dolomites
I found Jenny, our guide to be extremely competent and experienced. Her knowledge of the mountains and hiking was truly commendable. Everything about the hotel was exceptional, from the rooms to the meals, service and facilities.
Most Inspirational Moment
Being upgraded to beautiful rooms. Outstanding menus each night. Amazing views and landscape of the Dolomites each day.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I was very impressed by the enthusiasm, encouragement and organisational skills and knowledge Jenny portrayed throughout the week and would join any of the future adventure holidays with her as leader.
Cross-Country Skiing in Skåbu
Getting to the summit of a 1000 metre plus mountain on cross-country skis.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Henrik worked very hard to ensure we had an excellent time both on skis and off skis and co-ordinated well with everyone else involved in the team. He responded to any comments to adjust the way the days were run when needed.
