A fabulous holiday , a fascinating country and an amazing guide

This was a really interesting country- many aspects of the history and country surprised me. We saw beautiful countryside, extraordinary churches , lovely towns. The food was delicious as was the wine.
Carla was an incredible guide- knowledgeable and who went above and beyond consistently

Most Inspirational Moment

I loved visiting Porto-fabulous buildings. Meeting the students at Coimbra- they looked straight out of Hogwarts with black clothes and cloaks. Batalha was a very small town where we spent a night. The monastery was extraordinary.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Carla was excellent. She is a history enthusiast who had a great deal of knowledge and understanding of the history of the people and places we visited. Carla was very well organised, managing a very full itinerary. She booked restaurants for us every evening among many other thoughtful touches. Outstanding

Advice for Potential Travellers

There is quite a lot of walking so wear comfortable shoes. The food is delicious- avoid tight clothes!

Stunning Sardinia!

A week of walking around Sardinia and learning about the amazing history of the Nuragic people who lived in the area!

Most Inspirational Moment

Making the steep climb up jagged rocks to arrive at Tiscali to see the remains of a hidden Nuragic village! Seeing the many murals at Orgosolo and eating a simple meal of bread, cheese and wine in a vineyard!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Michele was full of energy and enthusiasm; he certainly kept us on our toes all week! He arranged to drive us around 3 of the smaller villages on his day off which was a lovely day and gives an indication of how committed he was for us to enjoy ourselves!

Advice for Potential Travellers

We have completed 5 European walking holidays now with Exodus and this trip is far more technical than the previous ones by far! Prepare for narrow, stony paths and scrambles over sharp rocks, often in high temperatures but it is well worth the effort for amazing views and a glimpse in to the past!

Exceeded our expectations

A well organised tour of this fascinating country. We visited contrasting places -cities, archaeological sites, coastal resorts and National Parks. We saw stunning scenery, and undertook routes that would be difficult to visit independently.
There’s little down-time, but that’s because there’s so much to see!

Most Inspirational Moment

The meal prepared by the local family - some of the best food we ate. The hotel in Llogora National Park had a lovely surprise.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Artur was fantastic. His pride for his country shines through. He recommended local dishes, arranged bookings in authentic & well priced restaurants, helped with orders & bills. He exceeded normal Group Leader duties. Our driver Diu was great too, always smiled, impressively navigated the winding roads, and took some brilliant photographs. Artur & Diu definitely enhanced our holiday experience, and provided some lovely surprises along the way!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pack lightly - you will be packing & unpacking most days. Take layers - it can be chilly in the morning & night, especially in the mountains. Read up a little on Albania's recent history, it will put the modern day country in to perspective. Don't over order food - portions are often large. If you can, stay an extra night in Kruje at the end of the trip. The hotel has a lovely setting, and Kruje is great to wander around after the day trippers have left.

A Trek to Remember!

As an Exodus staff member, walking the Camino de Santiago with Exodus was an unforgettable experience and a truly rewarding journey from start to finish. Each day brought stunning scenery, from rolling countryside and charming villages to historic towns steeped in culture and tradition. The balance of physical challenge, personal achievement, and time to soak up the atmosphere made every stage of the trek special. Sharing the experience with a supportive group of fellow walkers and a knowledgeable local guide added to the sense of camaraderie along the route. Arriving in Santiago de Compostela after days of walking was an incredible moment, filled with pride, reflection, and a real sense of accomplishment. It was a fantastic adventure that combined breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and lasting memories in equal measure.

Most Inspirational Moment

Arriving at the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. Having finished the week-long pilgrimage, it was incredible to see hundreds of people experiencing the same sense of accomplishment for all different reasons.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Raul was amazing! A Camino veteran having done it multiple times over the last 30 years, Raul was able to make the group appreciate every step of the trek. This is the first trip I've done where it felt like our leader was doing the itinerary for more than just their job, Raul had a deep emotional connection to the Camino and helped others in the group find that as well.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring different footwear! With 6 back-to-back days of walking, it is a good idea to swap your shoes a couple of times in order to avoid blisters. Also, make sure to pack your waterproofs. Galicia has it's own little micro-climate and even though we went in August, it rained every day.

Get yourself to Jordan - it’s outstanding

From city life, Arabic culture, religious stories historically told through to truly ancient artefacts and sites. Breathtaking in every step.

Most Inspirational Moment

The peace and serenity in wadi rum both day and night. Or Petra. Or mount nebo…… difficult to choose one!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Amer was simply outstanding - his knowledge on cultural, historical, political and religious context combined with expert and often humorous story telling.

Advice for Potential Travellers

This country is friendly, peaceful, safe and welcoming. It’s history is some of the worlds oldest and best preserved. You will return nourished and amazed.

Morocco at its best

As a member of the Exodus team, I was really excited to experience our Signature trip through Morocco, and it gave me a completely different perspective on the country. From the energy of Marrakech and the winding roads of the Atlas Mountains to the vast landscapes of the Sahara, there was so much variety packed into one journey.

What stood out most were the experiences that brought us closer to Moroccan culture. Exploring Marrakech by sidecar was a real group favourite, while other moments were much simpler and more personal. Lunch with a local family, visiting a women run cooperative and spending time at Saida’s home and farm gave us opportunities to experience the country beyond the usual sights.

The accommodation was another highlight. Each stay had its own character, from our riad tucked away in the Medina to our desert camp surrounded by the Sahara dunes. Finishing at Domaine de La Roseraie in the mountains was perfect. After such a full journey, having time to slow down, enjoy the gardens and pool and take in the surroundings was a wonderful way to end the trip.

Our guide, Hicham, brought a real warmth to the experience. Whether we were travelling, exploring or sitting around the table together, he made the group feel incredibly welcome and created a relaxed atmosphere throughout the trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were a few, but spending time with a local family was one of the moments that really stayed with me. We received such a warm welcome, shared an incredible meal and had the chance to experience a more personal side of Morocco. Our final day at Saida’s home and farm was another highlight, preparing traditional tagine, tea and bread together before sitting down for lunch. These were the moments where you felt less like you were simply visiting Morocco and more like you were experiencing it

Thoughts on Group Leader

Hicham was warm, personable and engaging, and his knowledge of Morocco added so much to the journey. His own Berber family background made some of the experiences particularly interesting, and he was great at bringing the group together. He joined us for meals, shared stories and created a really relaxed, almost family like atmosphere throughout the trip.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Morocco is a country of contrasts, and that’s what makes this trip so memorable. You’ll go from the buzz and colour of Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara and eventually the peaceful surroundings of Domaine de La Roseraie. There are some longer drives along the way, but they take you through some incredible landscapes and allow you to experience very different sides of the country. My biggest advice is to embrace the journey and come ready for the variety. Some of my favourite moments weren’t necessarily the big name sights, but the smaller cultural experiences, meals and conversations along the way.

Will hike for Prosecco!

If you think you’ve “done” Italy, think again. This trip takes you beyond the crowds to the rolling Prosecco Hills (a part of Italy I had never even heard of before coming to work at Exodus!), charming villages, family-run wineries, and hidden corners of Venice that most visitors never see. It’s the perfect blend of active exploration, incredible food and wine, and authentic local experiences.
We’re in the pre-Alps, so there are definitely some inclines and declines and uneven terrain, so make sure to save those Aperol spritzes for AFTER the hikes 🙂

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking amongst the vineyards, enroute to taste local Prosecco that has been around since before the war.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mattia was lovely!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring comfortable walking/hiking shoes, a camera, a reusable water bottle, sunscreen and a hat, but leave extra room in your bag to bring home some Prosecco!

RE: Terrific Tiziano – A True Sicilian Treasure!

Tiziano made our Sicilian journey memorable with his wonderful sense of humor, warmth, and impressive knowledge of the island’s history and culture. Personable, approachable, and always cheerful, he brought Sicily to life through his stories and enthusiasm. What made him particularly special was his genuine compassion. When I was unwell during the trip, he showed exceptional kindness, empathy, and concern for my well-being. His thoughtfulness meant a great deal to me. Tiziano is not only a terrific guide but also a truly lovely human being. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Hard things in scenic places with beautiful (souls) people

Highlights:
Sharing strudel, wine and company with remarkable, fun intentional adventurers – interesting and interested in others
Yellow-billed chough flying overhead against the blue skies.
Lago di Braies turquoise waters. Stopping for lunch and to take it all in.

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting the sophisticated alpine town of Cortina on a mountain bike (off day) from Villabassa...towering limestone peaks, lakes and mossy pine forest growth, mountain air and cool damp air. Exhilarating.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Rob is a total professional, fun and informative. Highly recommend.

Advice for Potential Travellers

prepare with long (3+ hour) walks/hikes at least a month or two in advance. pack light. layer. get to know your fellow adventurers.

Two Unforgettable Weeks Exploring the Wonders of Morocco...

Our two weeks in Morocco were truly memorable, with a wonderful mix of history, culture, stunning landscapes, and unique local experiences. From exploring the ancient medinas to riding camels in the Sahara and sharing meals with local families, every part of the journey offered something special. Our tour leader, Hassan, was exceptional. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine care for the group made the experience even better. We also enjoyed the company of our fellow travelers, making new friends and sharing stories along the way. A fantastic way to experience Morocco, and a trip we would highly recommend!

Most Inspirational Moment

The most inspiring moments were visiting local families, sharing meals in their homes, and learning about their lives and traditions. Experiencing their warmth, hospitality, and generosity gave us a deeper appreciation of Moroccan culture and reminded us how much we have in common, despite our different backgrounds.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Hassan was an outstanding group leader. His deep knowledge of Morocco’s history, culture, and traditions, combined with his friendly personality and genuine enthusiasm, made the trip truly special. He went out of his way to ensure everyone had a great experience, arranging excellent local guides and memorable cultural encounters. He was approachable, attentive, and always willing to help. We could not have asked for a better guide!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Come with an open mind, a sense of adventure, and comfortable walking shoes! Be prepared for some long drives, but the changing landscapes and experiences make them worthwhile. Although Morocco is a predominantly Muslim country, we always felt safe and found the people incredibly warm, friendly, and welcoming. Embrace the local culture, try the food, and take every opportunity to interact with the locals. A little patience, flexibility, and curiosity will go a long way toward making this an unforgettable experience.
