This was a great trekking experience with plenty of good advice available from the Exodus team beforehand in terms of preparation and what to expect. We started in the second week of the trekking season and so encountered a good deal of snow, which for us was a first in terms of trekking. We also had two fairly short ‘river’ crossings, which we had to negotiate and again a first for us. Our group leader was an extremely experienced mountain guide who made a great deal of effort to keep the group focussed on the trail ahead especially when it mattered. Amazing views at the tops of climbs and probably not a good trek for those with a fear of heights!

A great trip for seeing wildlife. We saw so much and pretty well everything except a cheetah.
Full of amazing moments and experiences from start to finish. The Chobe River cruise is a must as is the walk in the Victoria Falls Park.
Our group of 10 got on very well and made sure we moved around the ‘truck’ to share the bumps and reduced leg room seats.
So many amazing memories but mine is realising how beautiful a leopard is as I stared at it’s face through binoculars.
Big friendly Brian is exactly what it says on the tin. He loves his job and has a great team looking after you. He will ensure you are safe and see as much as possible.
This is a full on trip and not for everyone. Wild camping is tough and it can be cold at night and on the early morning drives in July. Take some gloves and a warm hat. A thin insulated jacket/ gilet would be useful as would a top with a hood. It’s really dusty terrain so a buff is useful too. Music for the longer journeys. Keep notes of what you see as you will forget otherwise. Binoculars are a must.
This was an excellent trip with plenty of variety due to having a week of nature, the culture of the Malaysian Peninsula and the idyllic relaxing Island of Langkawi. Melaka was excellent. I loved all the buzz. The Batu temple was amazing. Then there was the tranquillity of the Sandakan memorial.
The River cruises and seeing Proboscis Monkeys. It was pouring with rain and I was sat in a puddle but seeing many different troops high in the trees on the jungle edge was amazing. Plus many hornbills and birds of prey, pygmy elephants and a crocodile. The whole trip was fantastic.
Awang was our guide in Borneo & he was always available to assist. When we couldn't do the jungle hike as there was a male elephant in the area he organised a walk to the village. He was knowledgeable & well organised. He also kept us entertained on the coach journeys with some funny stories. Chee was our guide on the peninsular and he had his work cut out with looking after a group of 16. As there was free time in each city, he gave suggestions and helped us get to our chosen excursions. He also suggested restaurants that would be suitable for vegans, plus where we could buy a Guinness! He helped to find a bar to watch the England game during the Euros, which were on late. On the visit to the Petronus Towers due to the logistics those not going up just waited in a Sky bar or did some shopping, so that was a shame.
Take long sleeved cotton shirts & trousers, the sun is hot & the mosquitoes seem to bite even when you haven't seen any and you have put on anti mosquito cream. You only need walking shoes or trainers plus some sandals. Everywhere is casual. Take a mix of cash & card as some small shops only took cash. Beer and soft drinks are cheap on the peninsula whereas drinks on Borneo were like UK prices. The cocktails are good & reasonable. There is an app called "Grab" which is easy to install on your phone and is which is great for taxis & and they are very cheap. I found it was easy to be vegan here. I took a small carton of oat milk for the first day to have in tea/coffee and was able to pick up cartons of soya milk along the way at Mini marts/service stations. Although they were very sweet. There was also small chocolate oat drinks. No hotels offered non dairy milk. Breakfasts were mainly toast with beans & potatoes, or peanut butter. There was always a fruit selection (melon). In Borneo where food was provided there was a buffet & all vegetarians/vegans were given an extra plate with Tofu/tempeh, plus veg curry. When eating out there were vegan/vegetarian restaurants in KL & Georgetown. Otherwise there were usually a couple of options on the menu. There was always fried veg rice or spaghetti. You need to specify no cheese, even if not listed as an ingredient. The included meals on the peninsula were good with a lot of variety. The final meal on Langkawi was delicious. There was generally a lack of cake/desert, but you can buy biscuits & chocolate. I always take some vegan bars. I enjoyed the food here. On the street food tour in K.L. the things we tried were vegan (all deserts).
A really enjoyable week trekking in the High Atlas. The trip was very well paced with several challenging days but still enough time to rest, acclimatise and enjoy the spectacular scenery prior to summitting Mount Toubkal itself. There is also a mix of wild and arranged camping which gives a nice contrast throughout the week.
Summitting Mount Toubkal - had but worth it for the views and sense of accomplishment
Our guide Ibraham and his team were excellent throughout. Professional, competent and assured, we had no doubt we were in safe hands
Enjoy the experience. Yes you can climb Mount Toubkal in a long weekend but this longer trip enabled us time to explore the lower valleys , experience Berber life and enjoy the scenery in this spectacular part of the World.
A busy trip with lots of travel across four countries, their capital cities, interiors and coastlines. Very interesting and informative, well planned and structured.
Learning about the Cold War, occupation and seeing a nuclear bunker.
Really knowledgeable, conscientious, lively and caring.
Pack for variable weather, do a bit of pre-reading on the geo-politics to get the most out of the trip.
The walking in the Dolomites exceeded my expectations. The scenery was spectacular & the walks a good Level 3. However the hotel and food were less than expected for 4 star premium experience and really let the overall experience down.
As a solo traveller I was once again relegated to the back of the hotel in a room that, although a decent size, was very much in need of refurbishment. The tiny handkerchief size curtains on the windows afforded no privacy as my room looked straight out into the windows of the house behind. There were 2 single beds but luckily I found out that they could be made up into a double if requested, which basically meant pushing them together.
As another reviewer has said, the food was really poor and I can honestly say I didn’t enjoy any of the evening meals. The food that was delivered to the vegans & vegetarians was absolutely shameful.
Getting up early to start walking at Tre Cime di Lavaredo to beat the crowds was so worth it. It was a spectacular day, the walking fairly easy which left us to soak up the view of these beautiful mountains in a very atmospheric setting. However every day had stunning scenery, beautiful wildflowers everywhere, the trails were all well defined and marked. It was a fabulous walking experience.
Our guide Andrea was fantastic. Patient, knowledgeable about the mountains, flora, fauna and history of the region and he was great company. His job was not easy with keeping the group together where we had a big disparity in fitness levels. He did it with patience and grace and we all had a fantastic time because of it.
Make sure you read the itinerary and understand the level of fitness required, including how far you need to walk each day and the related ascents and descents. Just because it’s a premium trip doesn’t mean the walking is easy if you’re not fit enough. Exodus provide very clear guidance on the level of fitness required for each trip.
Loved the variety of places we visited and didn’t mind the fast paced itinerary as we were able to cover a lot of ground with frequent enough stops along the way and free time in evenings. The scenery is beautiful, the people are warm, friendly and helpful, beers were icy cold (June!), very affordable, and all towns walkable and great for exploring.
The mountain scenery (Day 4?) was outstanding. The home-hosted lunch was a true delight - best food on the trip, gracious hosts, and beautiful garden. Two days/nights in Berat was the highlight.
Artur took good care of us and was passionate about sharing all aspects of his country. Very knowledgable, helpful, personable, and gracious.
Just go! Great destination for solo travelers (ease and comfort of exploring on own day or night, any town). Sturdy hiking shoes extremely handy for the cobblestone streets and light hikes. Favorite Albanian souvenier (beautiful hand-made purse) and friendliest shopkeeper I've ever met was in Kruje towards top of bazaar near castle - Alida Teta.
Very well organised trip. Great group, great camaraderie, great scenery, great variety of walking terrain, great fun…..when can I go back!
Loved all of it and its uniqueness.
The guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable about the area and was able to answer our questions in good detail. Driver was great too, very dry sense of humour!!!
Layers are key to being comfortable in all weathers. All types of terrain so good, waterproof walking boots are a must.
This country was much more than I expected. The scenery is jaw dropping beautiful lake. The Roman remains are well preserved and well presented with lots of information.
The people are lovely and so helpful.
The local lunch prepared for us was just lovely so fresh with all the vegetables from their garden.
Artur Lumani our guide was very knowledgeable and always there for us. He really was a pleasure to have as a guide!
Some of the accommodation is a bit dated but they are all clean. Breakfasts in some places were poor but Artur always supplied us with fresh cherries which were delicious...
This is an action packed tour of four countries and their capital cities. Each city tour is guided by a knowledgeable local . With the city tourism, there is plenty of opportunity for visiting museums, galleries, churches and shops. This is balanced by walks in the national parks and visits to the Estonian islands with the opportunity of swimming in the baltic sea. The tour sets a frantic pace, and we saw lots of fascinating stuff in the 10 days of touring.
There were a few moments outstanding for being unexpected. We encountered horses on a sand spit. We met a guy who cleared land, built a house, grew crops, and made wine - amazing! I enjoyed an organ recital in Riga cathedral. Under the usual tourist stuff, most moving was the history of these countries and their occupation during WWII and after. There are national and individual stories, and they are fascinating.
Fantastic! There is a ton of organisation in this trip, and thanks to Andrius it all went smoothly. He spent long-days with us and was both informative and amusing.
The capitals are all interesting and have beautiful old towns - Tallin was my favourite. There is a lot of city walking, and an appreciation of architecture, history and churches will help your enjoyment. Several of our group said they would like to go back to give more time to them. The walking is enjoyable, but the countries are very flat! The walks are coastal, forests and lake - definitely not mountain and waterfall landscapes! I went because I was interested in exploring a relatively unknow (to me!) corner of Europe. I was very impressed with how much we saw and the variety packed into this trip.
