This was a great way to see a lot of country in a small amount of time. There was a lot of “on the bus, off the bus” and a couple of very long days on the bus. There was only a few of days where there was any physical activity. We also found that we were taken to see “how things were made” but it ended up being a buying trip.
Seeing the sun rise and set in the Sahara, and riding a camel.
Our group leader tended to be overprotective. I feel he even scared people out of doing things they would have enjoyed. He was knowledgeable but he tended to repeat himself so much that after a while I tended to ignore him.
Be prepared for long days in the bus.
Nice way to discover Indi by bike.
Cycling through rural India and the Taj Mahal
Excellent. Good knowledge, social and funny.
Be aware of the traffic in cities.
I have just returned from Walking the Amalfi Coast. This was a really great holiday and I would really recommend it. The walks are all lovely, although they are not too long, they seem more difficult owing to the steepness of the terrain. You see beautiful scenery around the Amalfi Coast and also on the walk to Ravello. It is nice to see around Bomerano the village where the holiday is based, where they grow all kinds of vegetables and fruit and to see where cheese is made.
The hotel is a good standard and the staff really friendly and helpful. The food was really nice there.
I enjoyed getting to know all members of the group. We had a lot of fun and laughter together.
Everything!
Christine was a very enthusiastic group leader, she was very experienced and knowledgeable having led this trip over the last 9 years. She is friendly and approachable. It was clear from the greetings she received from staff in the hotel and people from Bomerano where the trip is based that she is very well thought about. This makes it easier for her to arrangements for the groups benefit. Christine worked hard to make arrangements for the benefit of the group eg transport for our free day.
As in many of the reviews regarding this trip I would recommend bring a walking pole/poles, these are particularly needed owing to the steep steps, that are present in the majority of the walks. I would also recommend bringing waterproof walking trousers in case of rain. Luckily I didn't need these on the days that we walked, however I didn't see places where you could buy walking gear in this part of Italy.
Fantastic, group tour, guide (jerry was such a nice guy and nothing was to much trouble for him) , food, weather and the organising from start to finish was superb.
seeing the wall fro the first time and climbing the crouching tiger
Jerry was fantastic from when we meet till we left nothing was to much trouble and he was always on hand to help.
pack a warm jacket, fleece as at night it did get cold.
Really excellent walking in a surprisingly quiet area of Spain, good food, very good guide and great company.
Reaching the village of Tresvisio after climbing up the zigzag track for three hours. The view of Neveron de Urriellu from Cabesa La Mesa
Very knowledgeable, keen to ensure everyone got the most out of the trip and good fun
A good level of fitness is required to fully appreciate this level 5 week
I would highly recommend this holiday to anyone who likes walking with a wide variation of different types of terrain and views. All packed into a week. The hotel Des Alpes was conveniently located at the end of main street, so very convenient to walk into town for shopping, ice creams and we ate out in a different restaurant each evening.
Our guide, Yves was extremely competent and knew the area, the flora and fauna and al lot of local history and customs. Our group would have followed him anywhere.
Yves was an inspirational group leader. He was great fun to be with and hos knowledge appeared limitless. If you are thinking of taking ths tour in 2016 then check that Yves is your group leader and you will not be disappointed.
Exodus provided excellent advice of what to pack. Just follow that advice. A good pair of walking shoes are essential for comfort on the rocky trails and walking pole(s) were a great help on the steep downward slopes.
This is an ideal trip for anyone that doesn’t want a heavy slog all day….I would have preferred a slightly more challenging route as the biking is pretty easy, lots of it flat or on cycle paths, but you arrive in lovely towns each night with the opportunity to explore them, and Michele puts his heart & soul into the trip, so overall great fun.
Venice, Verona, Vincenza, Lake Garda...all beyond beautiful!
Michele is a superb guide; enthusiastic, funny, determined that everyone will find love and adore his homeland as much as he does...fantastic!
If you're looking for challenging riding on slick bikes, then you should note the bikes are heavy, the gears not great though you barely need them most days....so if you're an aspiring Tour cyclist (all you middle-aged men in lycra!!) then this might not work for you. But if you're happy to put aside your competitive side and explore the amazing towns in the area; Trento, Verona, Lake Garda, Venice and of course stunning Vincenza then relax and you'll love it. Share a lock between two every day - don't bother carrying one each - they are super heavy and hardly ever needed. Stay on in Venice for a few days even if you're on a budget - get a cheap Airbnb in Mestre and a travelcard and it's super quick & easy to travel in each day - you'll have an amazing time.
Despite rain for the first three days we enjoyed it immensely.
The arrival at Santiago after 90 miles of walking
He was excellent. Concerned for our welfare and great fun.
The walking is easy in that the trail is well maintained and although there are some ups and downs and one long day of 29 kilometres it will be well within the ability of a regular walker.
I am 61 and have done a fair bit of travelling and hiking. I had seen friend’s DVDs of a similar holiday around the Canyons and this inspired me to book with Exodus (we had used various other tour operators previously but were ‘Exodus Virgins’.) This holiday far exceeded my expectations in terms of scenery (so different to anything I had previously seen), varied walking (loved Angels Landing), quality of leaders (they were very knowledgeable, informative, great communicators, patient, motivational, inspiring, fun to be around and well organised), accommodation (great accommodation with all facilities a girl could need), transport (new and very comfortable; should be the norm!) and finally a well put together itinerary which enabled us to get the most out of the holiday. I thoroughly enjoyed this holiday – to such an extent that I would say it was my best holiday for years and years – ignore any negative comments!!
I honestly can not select anything specific as there were so many 'jaw dropping' moments.
Evan and Abby were absolutely fab! The leaders MADE THIS HOLIDAY and put huge efforts into every minute of the day. Exodus, please value these people because without them or people like them, the quality of your holidays would be significantly reduced!
Take limited clothing as there are opportunities to rinse clothes. Usual stuff about layers, all weathers etc.
The trip gives a good insight into the exotic fauna and flora of Madgascar and into several of the “cottage” industries that have been set up, mainly to provide items for the tourist trade. The trip involves many hours of travelling on roads that are in many cases badly surfaced, even when classifies as a “Route National” – this is not a trip for those that don’t like long coach journeys! The arrangements were very good and the hotels, in the main, excellent though facilities were quite varied.
Obviously the wildlife was the main highlight: lemurs, chameleons and geckos were all fabulous. The range of species, colours, habits etc were constantly fascinating. If I had to pick one moment, however, it would be the chameleon catching an insect - so fast, so accurate, a great sight.
Elodoie was a great tour leader - full of enthusiasm and always wanting to tell us more about the island, its people, language and way of life - as well as the animals and flora.
Be prepared for long coach journeys: make sure you have insect repellent and malaria prophylaxis: good walking boots/shoes are essential. I found poles very useful.
