Glenda was excellent. Very knowledgeable and passionate, sociable and happy. I would definitely recommend her. Glenda is such a great tour guide . She made it an amazing experience we will remember
Excellent route, lots of cycling and less transfer by bus. Guide and support crew were fantastic. The balance of the rides was great in terms of distance and difficulty. The planning of the routes and the environment they went through was well thought out. Couple of the hotels prevented a 10/10. What made the trip was Ruwan the guide. His knowledge, attention to detail and friendly helpful nature was exceptional. His support staff were also excellent and made the whole experience memorable.
The guides and support staff made the trip memorable. The guides knowledge of history, culture, wildlife and environment enabled you to get a true understanding of Sri Lanka.
Ruwan was exceptional. His organisation, knowledge, time keeping, friendliness, management skills were outstanding. He made the trip come to life and enabled us to immerse ourselves in the culture of the country.
Good routes, hotels generally v good. Tour guide and support team were excellent. Tipping was a significant added cost to the trip cost
Sigiriya, Eliya, and Ahangama. Best hotel was at Tissa. Whale watching was special
Diligent, sociable, knowledge, worked very hard, and under stress at times. Very effective and a joy to be with. Highly recommended.
This was my first time to India and I decided I wanted to start in the south because I heard it was a bit more beginner friendly and I was traveling with my daughter in her late teens for our first time just the two of us. I was blown away by the warm hospitality, the scenery, the food and how well organized this trip was. The itinerary is varied and really includes a bit of everything you need to see in Kerala and Tamil Nadu: verdant tea plantations, historical architecture and incredible access to temples, welcoming and warm connection with local people and guides, spice gardens, wildlife preserves, drifting down the backwaters in a houseboat with your own cook and captain, I still can’t believe we did and saw so much. We ate a huge meal one night with a local family and then toured a village and learned about traditional crafts with another family, we got beach and pool time and watched thunderstorms out over the Arabian Sea as we enjoyed dinner as a group. Just truly an unforgettable experience every step of the way.
It's so hard to name just one inspiring moment, but I will say one of the top experiences in mine and my daughter's life is going to the closing ceremony at the Sri Meenakshi temple in Madurai. You cannot bring your phone into the temple, you must remove your shoes, there are many people going there to get blessings and pray, you're just forced to be there present in the moment and take it all in. When the ceremony starts, the air fills with incense and music, the oil lights are burning, the flowers are laid and everyone is so focused on the ritual unfolding before their eyes. Truly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Then, the next day, the group goes back to see the temple during the day time and when we were there an actual elephant came walking through!
Our group leader, Biju, is truly one of the best guides in the world, if not one of the best human beings in the world. He was warm and genuinely welcoming to everyone in our group and all the local people we came in contact with really loved him too. He was knowledgeable on every subject that we discussed and I watched him tend to everyone, whether they had dietary requirements or other needs. Biju is what made this trip go from excellent to unforgettable in every way.
I would really recommend that you try to do as many of the optional excursions as you can as they each offer a unique way of experiencing southern India and Kerala or Tamil Nadu and they are all so varied. I would also recommend that if your guide offers to take you to a local place to eat, go there and try all the things they suggest, you cannot go wrong with the food in Kerala, it is sooo good!
The guide was stellar, the small group (7) was fantastic, the variety of walks was very pleasing, and the hotels were very nice.
Paulo the guide was great. And I really liked the second hike.
Paulo was fantastic in every way!
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!
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.
Great location but be ready for steep hikes so be prepared. Strongly recommend this trip but make sure you read trip notes well
Good end to end experience from flights, transfer from airport and the trip itself. Our guide was really great too who looked after us, kept us safe, made us very welcome and was fun and informative
The location of Oulanka base camp in the forest was just magical in the snow with plenty of opportunities to trek in the forest.
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.
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!
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!
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.
Brilliant guide, outstanding holiday!
So many. Cycling is the best way to see southern India - every day was a highlight
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.
Excellent guide and well planned tour
Wonderful Sri Lankan people and service, National Park hike, seeing elephants on safari and at elephant orphanage and the food
Rowan displayed no ego and focused 100% on ensuring our tour ran on time and with ease and comfort. He has a great sense of humour and provided interesting historical and cultural summaries.
