Great trip all around!
Birds, frogs, other animals/wildlife, scenery, learning about Costa Rica, making friends with my fellow tourmates, benefiting from the extensive knowledge of our guide, and mostly great food.
He is absolutely professional and extremely well-informed. He is polite but not "warm" per se, and he can sometimes seem a bit bossy, but I think it's because he wants everything to go according to plan.
This itinerary was fantastic! Loved the fun activities, knowledgeable and passionate guide, great hotels & vehicles. Saw loads of wildlife in such a small amount of time.
The night walk - amazing to see so much wildlife in the rainforest at night
Alejandro was very considerate of everyone's needs in the group. He was so knowledgeable - It was fascinating learning about Costa Rican culture and history. Also great at spotting wildlife on drives so there were plenty of photo stops.
The accommodation throughout was excellent. A big difference from my first trip with Exodus. And our guide Raht was brilliant. Very knowkedgeable, well organised, providing daily info on what to expect the next day, and going above and beyond in making sure we had the best experience in her country. A lovely lovely person and she has restored my faith in Exodus after my first trip.
The Elephant Sanctuary and spending time with these majestic animals. Also Sukhothai Historical Park - beautiful sites and so peaceful. Definitely a hidden gem.
An excellent leader throughout. Very knowledgeable, helpful and couldn't do enough! She wanted to make sure we experienced everything Thailand had to offer, supporting in booking local restaurants, additional activities during free time and even buying us snacks for the long coach journeys! One of the best guides I've ever had on a group tour!
Very well organised from initial booking then throughout the tour including departure. A very varied itinerary. Comfortable travel and a very knowledgeable leader with great support from his team.
Dambulla caves, both Safaris, it was hard to identify highlights as it was all so enjoyable. The vast amount of animal and bird life on the island, company of the group and the knowledge and personality of our leader.
Danu was so organised without being rigid. He was friendly and obliging and generous with his time with our group. His knowledge of his country was incredible and he is obviously very proud to be Sri Lankan. His knowledge of the history and especially its bird life was amazing. He imparted this knowledge by telling us stories in instalments and we were always eager to hear the next one. Danu tirelessly answered all our questions and if on the odd occasion he didn't know the answer he would find out for us. Nothing was too much trouble, he worked very hard throughout the trip and was great fun to be with.
Very well organised and varied, interesting itinerary. The guide, Malik, was exceptional. Energetic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He was always looking out for the group, giving us suggestions and choices and adapting things as necessary. His colleague, Nicole, was a great enhancement to the group; Also great fun, helpful and a mine of information, especially about the wildlife.
There were so many it's hard to specify. The scenery around the Cape and coastal regions along the Garden Route, was spectacular. The food was very good throughout. The De Opstal Country Lodge was particularly memorable for it's welcome, style and setting and the meerkats were an absolute delight!
We had complete confidence in him throughout the trip. He really looked after us all.
Sri Lanka is a Stunningly beautiful island. The tour Guide Dhanushka was beyond excellent in every way. The itinerary is varied and ran very smoothly throughout. Various accommodations all more than satisfactory. This tour It ticked all my boxes. .
It was all wonderfully memorable and the extra activity options added to the experience.
Danu was excellent in every way. Always helpful, appropriate excellently organised and hugely informative and fun to be with. He was exceptional in every way.
It was the perfect winter holiday for a non-skier with stunning landscapes, snow, lovely walks, good company, a friendly, family run guesthouse providing excellent food and home made plum brandy, plus bears and wolves and Dracula’s castle.
Walking through the forest and mountains in snow, tracking wolf prints, was magical. Bran castle was great fun. We bought various gothic accessories with us and took loads of daft photos
Tomas was very well organized and knowledgeable about the region and the history of Transylvania. He chatted to everybody in the group and was helpful with hiking gear and with anyone who needed assistance.
Well planned trip with guide at every stage. Packed with activity.
The treasures of Tutankhamen at the museum, the pyramids, the Valley of the Kings, the felucca ride, the Philae temple with the story of its move.
Noha was an absolute joy as a leader. She had a very pleasant manner, she was very knowledgeable which helped us to understand what we saw, she engaged socially with the whole group and gave good advice.
Bike: Rear caliper loose, rear tyre coming off rim, excessive play in headset, poor brakes as calipers not aligned with discs. Bike replaced after a couple of days but they sent the wrong size. Leader was at best average. I cycled in Kerala two years age with different company, good Bike, brilliant leader. Hence 2 stars.
Homestay and Backwater trip.
Average, made poor decisions about eating places. Communication poor, not using WhatsApp to remind us of important timings , like diner, breakfast and departure. Didn't even set up a WhatsApp group, so I did.
Check your bike thoroughly or get someone with bike knowledge and refuse to get on it until all faults are rectified to your satisfaction. Pot luck with leaders. I walked out of our first night dinner in Varkala without sitting down. Next daythe others said they should have followed me.
We’re sorry to read that Charles felt this way about his Cycle the Coast of Kerala trip, and we appreciate him taking the time to share such detailed feedback. Exodus places great importance on the condition and safety of all bicycles used on our cycling itineraries, and we have stringent checks in place before every departure. Feedback from other members of this group indicates that the majority of bikes were generally in good condition overall; however, the comments Charles raises about his bike are not acceptable and this is being followed up with our local team. We fully understand how frustrating it must have been for Charles to begin his holiday with an unroadworthy bike, and we’re glad a replacement was provided, even if the sizing wasn’t perfect. One of our UK team was in touch with Charles during the trip and we would have been happy to organise a different replacement bike if he had requested at the time.
We were also sorry to learn that Charles was disappointed with his tour leader. We’re proud to have a strong team in Kerala who usually receive excellent feedback for their organisation, communication, and local knowledge, so it’s disappointing to hear this wasn’t reflected on this occasion. His comments regarding communication, restaurant decisions, and group coordination have been noted and will be shared our local manager.
It’s encouraging that Charles still enjoyed aspects of the trip, particularly the homestay and backwater experience, which are often highlights for many travellers. We appreciate him offering advice to future customers, though we feel that our ongoing equipment checks and leader development mean guests can join this trip with confidence.
We’re grateful for Charles’s honest reflections and will use them to ensure we continue strengthening the experience for those travelling with us in the future.

Easy to book and well chsoen guiding businesses. The holiday is as described by Exodus and the accommodation and equipment good.
Riding on the gravel on an electric bike and the wonderful countryside. Some spectacularly situated hotels. We also had warm sunny weather every day!
He was always pleasant and helpful. He was sociable with the group and he even managed to find an electric bike for a member of the group during the holiday.
