Fabulous tour - great cycle routes and much more

We did this tour after a week in the North doing the golden triangle so it was nice to sample the north and the south of India – they are very different. The cycle routes were fabulous and as were in the main flat within most people’s ability. The tour should be named cycling the backwaters and coast of Kerala as more time is spent in the backwaters than on the coast – not a complaint as the backwaters are fabulous. The night on the houseboat was amazing and the home stay was better than we expected. A great way of seeing the area.

Most Inspirational Moment

We did an impromptu visit to a local school - which was fabulous. The cycling was amazing

Thoughts on Group Leader

Rahim and his deputy Dipan were fabulous. We felt very safe in their company even in the busier towns.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just do it

India - Golden Triangle

Fast paced, great itinerary, fabulous sites and much more. We throughly enjoyed the trip, lots of variety of sites and activities.

Most Inspirational Moment

The Taj Mahal was pretty special, Delhi was amazing, and the camel cart ride great fun.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jitan was a great facilitator and leader. From our first meeting he was friendly but professional. He tried to meet everyone’s needs and to ensure everyone had the best trip - he succeeded.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for some long bus travel.

Do yourself a favour, book the trip to Jordan. You won't regret it.

Jordan is an incredible country filled with breathtaking landscapes, delicious food, and welcoming people.

There is no better way to get to know a country than by talking to its people. Our group was privileged to have Amer with us. Amer is a skilled storyteller and a encyclopedia of knowledge. He encouraged us to ask questions and didn’t shy away from providing honest answers. Beyond his historical knowledge, Amer has a deep love for his country. He is proud to be Jordanian and that passion radiates in every conversation and in every place we visited. I count myself very fortunate to have experienced Jordan through Amer’s eyes.

I am a seasoned traveler and Jordan is one of my top three favourite trips ever. I encourage anyone who has thought about visiting Jordan to book the trip now. You won’t regret it.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group was privileged to have Amer with us. Amer is a skilled storyteller and a encyclopedia of knowledge. His history lessons were detailed and he pushed us to rethink what we, as Westerners, have been taught about the Middle East. He encouraged us to ask questions and didn’t shy away from providing honest answers. Beyond his knowledge of history, Amer has a deep love for his country. He is proud to be Jordanian and that passion radiates in every conversation, in every place we visited, in all the lessons he gave us. I count myself very fortunate to have experienced Jordan through Amer’s eyes.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I have never felt safer traveling than I have in Jordan. I walked the busy streets of Amman’s downtown at 11:30 pm alone and wasn’t looking over my shoulder or holding on to my bag too tightly, as I do in many North American cities. I left my bag with phone and wallet on lounge chairs as I swam in the Red Sea and the Dead Sea with no reservation.

Enjoyable week in tall limestone peaks

I really enjoyed this area and all the walks we did, and the day off on the coast. Overall a very positive and friendly experience for my first group holiday on my own for 25years. The walks we did were essentially all in a semi-circle area around a valley, though each day had a slightly different character and feel to me. All were either started from the pension or a short drive away. We saw some goats and buzzards, though overall less wildlife than I am used to. All the paths were relatively quiet compared to many English popular areas, which I enjoyed. There was a drive down to a stream through narrow town streets that was fun and a chance to buy local olive oil (which did survive the flight back). I enjoyed getting up to see each pretty sunrise. Both towns we visited either side of Benidorm on our day off I also surprised myself by enjoying and are worth visiting.

Most Inspirational Moment

the things I enjoyed most were the walks I had come to do, especially enjoyed Puig Campana and Fat Man's Agony way up onto Aitana.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jose was a very knowledgeable and informative leader, having grown up and live in a nearby valley. He sensibly tailored the walks to the group ability and on the hotter days. I was happy where needed to slow down, admire the landscape and take yet more photo's.

Advice for Potential Travellers

My trip was end of October and apart from the day we arrived, sunny and at times hot for some, therefore be prepared for 6-8hours of walking in the heat. The rocks coming down most paths though dry were often skiddy and easy to slip down on, which I even did despite having new grippy boots and poles. I found the walks on the easier side of challenging, shorter than I was used to, equivalent sort of climbs to what I do in the English Lakes with less exposure due to the bushes/ scrub (only short exposures was on the last two days with a steep rocky slope section with good zig zag path and a step across with a chain, then 2-3 move simple rock scramble/ climb with a chain; there are others but are optional/ extras to the walks) and I found the heat much less sweaty for the equivalent English heat, though was the youngest in my 50's and others may have struggled at times on parts of the walks. The route's may be adjusted therefore accept the advice Jose gives as he knows the area. Autumnal colours only seen really on the last 2 days higher up, most trees look evergreen to me. It is worth doing the optional day trip to the coast, I enjoyed both places and the coastal walk to a viewpoint over Benidorm with large butterflies, though didn't have time to do all I wanted. Jose set up a WhatsApp group for photo sharing. It is a worth doing the optional first afternoon self-guided walk to scenic Guadalest; I didn't mind when we went a bit further down and therefore had a longer road walk; it is a very good introduction to the area. 8 people is the optimum number for this trip as that is the capacity of their mini-bus; if more book they have to book another vehicle which can limit options. The people in our group were mostly in their 60's I think. The pension we stayed at I liked, nice location for sunrise and sunset, closer to the road than I had expected though didn't bother me, though is on the simpler more basic side; expect some things not to work as well or have to collect a replacement toilet roll from the corridor for example, the shutters I gave up on closing too fiddly when tired so bring a sleep mask, be careful in the tiny bath/ shower as the shower curtains suddenly fell down on me while washing my hair which was rather surprising, and don't look under your bed until the end of the trip (it was rather dusty). There was plenty to eat/ snack on; vegetarians may want to check there is no meat, there were some occasions when this was queried both in the pension and at the day off restaurant. Kettle and hot drink things in the small lounge downstairs. I didn't need to touch the small supplies I brought with me in case. I did drink some spring water the last day, but then had a mild stomach upset once home. Overall an area well worth a visit and hope Exodus keep doing this one.

Peru Pride

This was my first trip to South America and won’t be my last. I’ve now taken 6 Exodus tours and this was my favourite. There were numerous and various places to visit, even the long drives through the Andes was full of amazing scenary and things to see. There were highlights every day. Your health is well looked after, with testing twice a day whilst at altitude.

Most Inspirational Moment

Moments- Driving through the Andes, Exploring Cusco, Seeing the condors at Colca Canyon, interesting and photographic Santa Catalina Convent in Arequipa.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Giscard was brilliant- not just a group leader but a teacher, a listener, an expert in cookery & altitude walking, a father figure and like a brother. He quietely looked after us all individually.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Machu Picchu and the Nazca Lines will be on everyones 'Must See' list and didn't disappoint but there's so much more to see. Layer up with clothing. If you have a decent camera, take it, with the appropriate lenses, for city but especially wildlife shots.

Priviledged in the Amazon

I did this add-on as a pre tour, from Lima, before my Essential Peru tour. I was the only person from Exodus on this add-on but was never alone as the groups from other companies allowed me to join them. That gave me the best of both worlds, I was not only guided by guides from these other groups but had the extra priviledge of my own Exodus guide pointing out anything they missed!

Most Inspirational Moment

Inspiring moments- Boat trips down the Amazon, night walks with guides coaxing the Tarantulas out, giant river otters at Tres Chimbadas Lake, sights and sounds of Macaws at Colpa Chuncho.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Klaus and Leo were very thoughtful and amazing. Other than accompanying me on my day and night walks Leo set up a scope just for my use, took some phone shots and videos with my phone, even made me a coffee, at Colpa Chuncho. At Tres Chimbadas Lake I was supposed to be in a small rowing boat but Klaus hired a much bigger boat (30+ seater I think) knowing I had a lot of camera equipment- there was just me, him and the boat owner. Due to that I saw the giant river otters which the bigger groups hadn't seen the previous day.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It was very humid so dress appropriately. The lodges were very comfortable. Several power points were available outside the restaurant, as well as tea, coffee and bananas at all times. WiFi can be picked up at various points around the lodges. You can either mix with others or have your own space.

A Perfect Blend of Culture, Cuisine & Countryside!

This tour was an amazing way to experience the heart of Tuscany. The itinerary was perfectly balanced with cultural visits, delicious food and wine experiences, and plenty of free time to explore or relax. Some highlights for me were the guided tour of Siena, where we tasted incredible pastries made from unique local recipes, the pasta-making class in Chianti with a warm and welcoming family, and the wine tastings at beautiful family-run estates where we learned so much about what we were enjoying. Our day in Florence was equally wonderful. The hotel in Pancole was cozy and inviting and all the family and staff were so welcoming, and our tour leader made everything smooth and enjoyable. A fantastic trip filled with unforgettable memories!

Most Inspirational Moment

Standing on the hilltop in Volterra, overlooking the endless Tuscan countryside, was incredibly inspiring. The blend of ancient history, peaceful streets, and breathtaking scenery made me pause and truly appreciate the beauty and depth of the region. But to be honest, every single day offered its own “most inspiring moment” — Tuscany has a way of surprising you at every turn.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our tour leader was outstanding—knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about Tuscany and Italy. She made every part of the trip smooth and enjoyable, offering help whenever needed, sharing tips and engaging stories, and even giving us a thoughtful personalized gift at the end. Her warmth and enthusiasm created a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for the whole group, making the experience truly fantastic!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pack comfortable shoes for walking through cobblestone streets and rolling hills, and be ready to savor every moment—Tuscany is best explored slowly. Don’t hesitate to try local wines, cheeses, and pastries wherever you go, and take advantage of the free days to wander charming towns, soak in the scenery, or follow your own curiosity. Bring an open mind, a sense of adventure, and your camera—every corner is picture-perfect!

Stunning scenery

Absolutely stunning scenery but a lot of travelling and very little choice if vegetarian. Iguazu falls should be included if you can!
Trip notes very out of date, allow for much higher prices for optional activities and tipping.

Most Inspirational Moment

The optional glacier trip was stunning, as was the optional penguin island trip

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sadly new to the role and had little knowledge to impart, but appeared to have a wonderful time taking selfies

Advice for Potential Travellers

Trip notes were very dated re pricing, expect to spend more. If you don’t eat meat there was really very little choice at some of the places visited. If you are looking for souvenirs don’t leave it to the end as Ushuaia and Iguazu had very little choice.

Best cycling trip so far !

From the day I met Claudio in San Pedro to my last day in Salta.
I have seen so many different landscapes, cycling on so many different roads.
Was great to cycle on a salt lake, in narrow canyons, in a the devils’s throat on a road above 4000m in the middle of the puna among lamas and vicunias, in a forest along lakes or in the middle of vineyards and cactus !

Most Inspirational Moment

A difficult choice ! My first day in Argentina: cycling above 4000m in the middle of the puna was really special

Thoughts on Group Leader

Claudio was always here for me- for assistance, for recommendations and also for customising the trip to my taste. Always very friendly ! He even introduced me to his family !

Advice for Potential Travellers

I will repeat Claire and Andrew precious advice that I followed ! Great to get used ro altitude. And a must see !

Incredible 2 weeks covering the whole of Sri Lanka !

An amazing all round trip – Sri Lanka is one of my favourite countries I have been to so far ! Sri Lanka truly offers everything from beaches ,mountains,safaris and forests. The people are so friendly and the food is incredible .

This trip enables you to see the whole of Sri Lanka at a fair pace – you able to see all the main attractions and the lesser known spots as well . There is a perfect amount of free time allowing you time to relax by the pool or enjoy the hotel . The hotels were of high standard and the service at all of them was exceptional.

I felt like we had sufficient time in every place and everything ran so smoothly.We were able to see and learn so much in the two weeks. This holiday was incredibly well planned and run . Thank you Exodus !

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting the farmhouse and being able to take part in traditional Sri Lankan games - This was such an incredible experience that allowed us to experience local life .
