As always, Exodus didn’t disappoint. The itinerary was great, we packed a lot in to the 9 day trip. Some early starts and long drives but the bus was comfortable and the air con worked well! Lots of walking on this trip, and be prepared for the pollution, if you have bad asthma I would consider a different trip as you are literally coughing with the smog!
But the busyness of the traffic is part of the adventure!
Sunrise in India isn’t a thing unfortunately due to the haze of pollution so the Taj Mahal wasn’t seen to it’s full beauty until the sun is higher in the sky. The dreaded sleeper train definitely is something I never wish to repeat, but it’s one night and so long as you don’t go to the toilet you’ll be ok haha ….I took shoe covers !!! So glad I did ! The beds are as hard as a table top !

We spent 5 Algarve hiking days with two wonderful tour leaders. Each day provided an authentic hiking experience through local forested trails and breathtaking costal paths in the Algarve. Many other unique Portugal experiences were included and at the end you will definitely want to see, taste, and hear much more of this warm friendly country.

I loved the itinerary! Saw so much in a week and at the same time did not feel rushed. I felt there was enough time to explore the highlights of the region. I enjoyed exploring Matera and Polignano a Mare. The lunch on day 5 was delicious – one of the best meals I have had in Italy. The coastal walk was lovely as well in Otranto. The places we stayed were so unique. I loved the Trulli house in Alberobello. I also loved the group and sharing the experience with like-minded people.

Very enjoyable trip, with a nice variety of different walking routes. Luckily our group was on a similar fitness level, so we were able to always walk together. Most challenging are the stairs, felt like never ending… but the views were worth the effort.
The hotel is good regarding staff (very friendly and great service) and cleanness . Dinner was sometimes really nice, on other days a bit fade, which I found unusual for Italian cuisine. The breakfast was poor, unfortunately, every day the same (limited) choice, warm dishes were only offered during the first days. The standard rooms are small and can be dark, the superior room was nice (although at rather high extra cost, something for Exodus to rethink…). While the trip is highly recommended for the walks and overall experiences (5 stars), the hotel gets only 3 stars… also the “Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher” was missing for breakfast 😉

The hike combined a holiday, a historical introduction to the Algarve, active coastal sustainability and a promotion of local businesses.
