They were pretty responsive to my questions, the tour was well organized and the pickup at the airport and visa processing in Jordan was extremely smooth.
Most Inspirational Moment
Petra and the stay at the Beduin camp at Wadi Rum were the highlights. The Dead Sea experience was also well worth it.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mikhled was an excellent tour leader. He was engaging, was patient with all our questions and made every effort to make our trip the best trip ever. For optional lunches and dinners, he made it a point to accompany us to the best local restaurants so that the entire group had a lovely social experience and negotiated group prices for dinners. He made sure everyone was taken care of and every request was patiently addressed.
We saw a lot, the group was great and we all really got on. The local company/guide in Iceland (Midgard) was excellent. We had a lot of fun.
Most Inspirational Moment
Difficult to say - each day had a different highlight. The glacier walk was fantastic.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was great - much fun, very calm and laid back with a fantastic sense of humour and many stories to tell. Excellent driver in the crazy winds that we experienced. We felt very confident in his hands.
Just fantastic from start to finish. Booking, range of activities, knowledge of tour guide and accommodation we stayed in.
Most Inspirational Moment
Where to start - safari, hermanus and the group I travelled with and the tour guide
Thoughts on Group Leader
Couldn’t have asked for a better leader. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about his home country. He created a fun environment for everyone and made time to get to know everyone in the group. He made sure everyone was looked after and went out of his way to ensure we had the best holiday
Excellent communications from first contact through to booking and final joining instructions. This is my sixth Exodus trip and the quality of guides and itinerary always exceeds expectations.
Most Inspirational Moment
The coastal experiences and hike on the glacier
Thoughts on Group Leader
A passionate guide who took the time to show us his town and explain the local culture. A very dry sense of humour which we enjoyed. When one of our party needed to leave earlier than anticipated, he arranged alternative transport and nothing was too much trouble.
Meeting fellow travellers and Marco, our guide. Marco made this trip complete. The accommodation was excellent and staff couldn’t do enough to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The trip went beyond my expectations.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were so many highlights on this trip. Every day was mind blowing. Would recommend Robben Island. We were shown round by an ex inmate, thought provoking and a sobering reminder of South Africa's distant past. Dolphin watching at Camps Bay sat on the rocks with a coffee. Walking the coastal path at Hermanus (return journey). Zip wire was a thrill. Every corner of the journey brought some wonderful scenery.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Marco was very professional, informative, kind, thoughtful and passionate about his country. He kept us safe and thought about everything. He is extremely knowledgeable about geography, history, floral and fauna and the political situation in South Africa. A very competent and safe driver. Marco always went that extra mile and went beyond his call of duty. Marco made our trip and the whole group loved him to bits. Exodus are very lucky to have him on board.
Superb scenery, great guides and drivers, good food and accommodation. Exodus gives you experiences which are not in ordinary tourist itineraries. They fill each day to capacity with these experiences. The office staff are always friendly and helpful.
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting the wadis and camping in one. Driving across all kinds of desert terrain. Meeting like minded people and great staff.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was larger than life, had a great sense of humour and obviously cared about the group. He was also knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his country. He was very approachable and a lot of fun.
The trip was well organised and Quang our group leader was fabulous. We saw so much of Vietnam in two weeks.
Most Inspirational Moment
There's too many to pick! I loved the basket boat ride, seeing Halong Bay and the time we spent in Hoi An. I also loved that Quang took us to meet his family and arranged the dinner at the house in Hue.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Quang was absolutely brilliant throughout the trip. He knows lots about Vietnam and its history and presented things in a very balanced way (often sharing personal experiences). He was well organised and listened to the group when we wanted to express an opinion (a good example being our request to start a bit later one day!). He integrated well with the group and even suggested great places for us to go in our free time (the rooftop cocktail bar in Saigon was a particular highlight!).

Stunning countryside and beautiful wildlife
This was an excellent trip and not too hectic with a bit of downtime in some lovely hotels. Group worked well together.
Most Inspirational Moment
Climbing Sigiriya rock, glamping in Gal Oya, cookery class in Ella. Dambulla cave temples. Boat trip to seen elephants on islands.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Richard was lovely: very kind with lots of thoughtful touches: fresh pineapple and watermelon after long days. A ready supply of toilet paper and hand sanitizer! Temple socks and sarongs provided. Very knowledgeable. about his beautiful country.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Socks for temples: it is not like a mosque where you walk on carpet. You walk on gravel, hot rocks, wet paths. Scarf for dusty Yala. The walk with the chief involves wading so consider waterproof shoes.
Food: it is very spicey so be careful. The home cooking and restaurants outside hotels were happy to reduce spice but not hotel buffets. Be careful with the rice. Recommend Lords in Negombo and Chill in Ella. Jetwing Lighthouse al la carte excellent
