Interesting and varied trip.
seeing a tiger as close as we did.
Excellent - very good English that wasn’t too accented. Able to impart overviews/ info without lecturing . Well organised.
Beware of LOTS of time in the coach and little other free time.
Had a brilliant time with varied activities, lovely hotels, excellent driver and most importantly one of the best guides I have ever had.

Outstanding!
A very special trip! The trip from briefing in HCM to end in Hanoi was very enjoyable and very well organised. I felt looked after on and off the bike. Wonderful mix of rural Vietnam, busy places and tourist attractions .
You always knew which way to go, rest stops were a joy. Lemonade, fruit and other treats to taste.
We had mountain bikes rather than hybrids. They were lovely bikes and fabulous to ride.
Hard to choose a best moment as there were so many for different reasons. Dalat downhill was phenomenal countryside.
Loc Phan was amazing and thoughtful. As was his team. We got to try many local fruits and foods. The team were really sweet, handed you a glass of lemonade and took the bike off you on a rest stop. Lunches were included and they were fabulous. Evening meal restaurants and other recommended places by Loc were all really good. It was a big group of 18 but oddly it felt smaller which was down to organisation. The bus we travelled in was spotless and comfortable.
Highly recommend. Holiday is full on. Days off the bike are perfectly timed and placed. Early starts with some days where you have to pack a smaller bag. We had booked 1 extra day in HCM and Hanoi to allow time to see these two cities. We did not manage to do a Mekong Delta tour which would have been nice if we had 2 additional days in HCM. You don't need to bring any snacks:)
A great week walking in the mountains of North Cyprus. Vertiginous castles. A wealth of history.Lots of different mezes and kebabs. Superb group leader.
Buffovento castle.
Fantastic.
Beware of the of the pine processionary caterpillars!
An enjoyable and interesting insight into South Africa with varied landscapes and experiences. Three game drives at the start with lots of wildlife – elephants, lions and many other animals to see in beautiful locations. We enjoyed stunning mountain and semi-desert scenery, the wild cape coast and the city life and scenery of Cape Town.
Accommodation was good throughout the trip– clean, good facilities and well located in each location. The accommodation and food at House Martin Lodge was excellent. We used a large minibus which was spacious enough for our needs and was safely driven by our guide. Our couple of long drives but the scenery helped and regular stops were arranged.
Meals and food were varied and good throughout the trip and we were able to experience different types of South African food.
The tour had lots of highlights - an amazing trip to Schotia Game Reserve where we saw a stunning range of animals, the semi desert area of the Little Karoo around De Rust ( wonderful accommodation and food at House Martin Lodge ) and the Cango Caves, the coastal scenery at Storms River and Hermanus and the Cape Peninsula drive including the penguins, Robben Island, Table Mountain and the Waterfront of Cape Town.
Our tour driver and guide was Marco Olivier from Mask Expeditions. He made the trip run smoothly down to the very last detail and had a great sense of humour. Most travel days were broken up with adequate rest and scenic stops and even a fun quiz on the long drive. His local knowledge of nature, wildlife and the culture and history of South Africa was good and he was happy to share and discuss it with us. He was helpful with sorting the optional activities and other arrangements especially in Cape Town.
It is a pity that the Schotia Game Reserve is not an 'included' part of the tour as it is one of the 'must do' activities. Make sure that you have enough Rands at the start of the trip as it is cheaper to pay by cash rather than card. Our time in Mossel Bay was limited and rushed. If possible discuss with the group an early leaving time which would create more time - we left at 9.30am whereas 8.00am would have been better. Minor point - there is no tea / coffee / milk in the accommodation at Storms River. Worth arranging a quick 'shop' stop enroute to buy some. If you have time book an extra couple of nights in Cape Town. We enjoyed a relaxing two days in Cape Town at the end which was a great way to finish the trip.
Fantastic trip, camping most of the time allowed us to be on the heart of the wilderness. The tents are put up for you and have a camp bed and mattress . When we were at wild camps with no bathroom, a long drop was dug and a shower hung over a branch where possible. The camp food was simply excellent and the whole team looked after the group well!

Brian was a font of knowledge about everything! Made the trip special.
Read the trip notes, it is hot, you are wild camping with elephants and lions keeping there distance. The journeys are long and windy!
Mostly flat, although the long days are very hot and you feel the undulations! 3 different bikes, countries and cultures! Covering a lot of distance both in the van and cycling!
Sunrise Ankhor Wat and cycling into the vibrant celebration of Vietnamese Lunar New Year!
Seen was an excellent guide, watching over us and the team all the time. Encouraged us to try crispy tarantula!
Have a day or so In Bangkok at the start to allow to adjust for time difference and see the city.
Excellent trip with a good amount of cycling and touring. Loc was amazing, kept us fully informed. The whole team looked after us and the bikes.
Descent from Dalat! 30km downhill through stunning scenery
Loc was amazing
Book it but there are long cycling days and it is hot! Look after each other, on and off the bike!
Full on trip,in massive heat and humidity. Unfortunately our tour leader was very abrupt and rude. Fellow travellers were scared to say anything to him…basically unapproachable

Awful.grumpy
Check whose leading the tour
Thank you for taking the time to review your Exodus trip to Costa Rica, Siobhan, although we regret that the leadership did not live up to your expectations. We acknowledge that one of the major reasons our customers choose Exodus is because we provide expert tour guides who can deliver our planned itineraries to a high standard, and ideally elevate a group’s experience in their destination. We are well aware of the impact that our leaders have on our clients’ overall enjoyment of the trip, and it is therefore a matter of great disappointment that you found your leader to be rude and unapproachable. He is a valued member of our Costa Rican cohort and has proven in the time he has led for us that he is adept at leading tours that meet ours and our customers’ expectations; we are reassured to observe that he scored an average of 4.94* across the two previous tours he oversaw this season and that he performed similarly strongly on your departure. We hope this shows why we were confident in his ability to successfully lead your tour, although we are sorry that your experience was not as positive as you had expected.
