Walking the Island of Madeira
The guide was stellar, the small group (7) was fantastic, the variety of walks was very pleasing, and the hotels were very nice.
Amazing Amalfi
Walking the Amalfi Coast was my second trip with Exodus. What an amazing part of Italy. Lots of stairs on first few days. Thankfully we had good weather despite the time of year. Beautiful hikes and great scenery on most of our days.
Food was meant to be a highlight of the trip but we were told on arrival that the kitchen was closed in the hotel so we had to eat dinner at a local restaurant. The food was reasonable at the restaurant but very few vegetables or greens served.
However one evening we had a barbecue at the hotel that was very good. It was an additional cost though.
The company was great and lots of friends were made.
Our guide accompanied us on most dinners

Pompei and Vesuvius!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader was very charming in his own way but did not re assure us well on what to expect or how to be prepared better. The climb to Vesuvius was extremely cold and we were not guided on what to bring to stay warm. I think a few us caught a cold from this. Also he would always stay with the front walkers on the hike rather then the slower more cautious ones who may have needed more support. Overall a good leader but not brilliant. More attention to detail needed.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Great location but be ready for steep hikes so be prepared. Strongly recommend this trip but make sure you read trip notes well

The location of Oulanka base camp in the forest was just magical in the snow with plenty of opportunities to trek in the forest.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Joonas was really great, he looked after us in all respects, made us very welcome and was fun and informative. He really helped make the trip special.
Fabulous adventure.
I recently returned from the trip- December 2025. Everything about the trip was terrific. Wonderful scenery, great places to stay, interesting towns and cities to visit and a terrific guide. I enjoyed every minute.

Seeing a tiger print on the path!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Santos was excellent. He attended to our every need. Adjusted the walks to suit the different levels in our group. He took us to some great places such as a local person's house for tea or the brick making on the side of the road. Nothing was too much for him. And he is fun!
Advice for Potential Travellers
A good idea to take your own leech socks as we encountered leeches on a couple of days- yuck! Also a bottle of gin or whisky if you like sitting round the fire in the evening having a drink with others. You can't get it easily in India though Santos will get beer for you.

Safi was outstanding in every way. I had the best Exodus holiday ever and Safi was a fair portion of the reason. So many of your leaders are excellent but Safi was exceptional.

First and foremost the success of this cycling holiday was down to the Leader LAM NGUYEN and his support , the back marker doubling up as mechanic and the bus support driver . We were without doubt in safe hands .
We were kept fully informed as to what was happening during the day and the following day . Lam gave us written details each day in the format “Daily Ride Plans”
This was so useful as there was a lot to take in , could refer to these when saving our ride on Strava and even now , a month after , I use when describing our holiday to friends.
The hotels were all of a good and high standard
The trip notes were very thorough giving lots of information
The daily rides were planned well visiting many interesting places , giving us a good appreciation of the areas we were cycling and the distances cycled were good and achievable
The bike that I had was good , just right for the roads we were travelling on ( I normally use a road bike but the mountain bike worked well)
The stops during the ride were well thought out and worked well
The snacks that were provided during the ride were excellent and plentiful
During the rides Lam , the tour leader , stopped where necessary to give us more information at the right locations
Also , importantly , many happy bushes were found !!!
All in all a fantastic holiday in a fantastic Country

Four really …. Ha Long Bay - An amazing and beautiful place with the limestone peaks. We were fortunate that the weather for both days was beautiful and blue skies and calm seas . We were able to see this in all its glory and also to Kayak in the waters The Cu Chi Tunnels- again an amazing place and experience and to hear the stories Boat cruise from Whale Island and snorkelling and swimming in the beautiful clear seas Finally , inspired by all the Vietnamese people in Ho Chi Minh City on scooters. It was amazing !!! . I never tired of watching the people on the scooters. Many carrying all description of things and / or with two or three passengers , including children !!!! An amazing sight . No picture adequately show how it truly is !!!
Thoughts on Group Leader
The Group Leader , LAM NGUYEN , was excellent He led the group really well . He got to know all the members of the group quickly and helped everyone when necessary His instructions for the days were clear and it was good when they backed up with the Daily Ride Plans . He described the routes , during the days , clearly paying particular attention to safety when necessary…. “No Dominos” being his description and perfectly described what he didn’t want to happen. There were no accidents throughout the trip …. when you consider there was 17 in the group this shows he ran it perfectly His knowledge of Vietnam of the places we cycled and visited and of the history was very extensive . This made for the trip to Vietnam to be really interesting and memorable. Yes … Lam was an excellent Group Leader , and as said ably supported by the mechanic and bus support driver
Advice for Potential Travellers
Go for it !!!! Do not be put off by the trip notes where reference is made to the times spent on the bus . Whilst it can be a few hours there is always plenty to see thereby giving you a full appreciation of Vietnam
