The tour did everything that was promised and so much more. It really brought this beautiful and amazing country to life and gave me a great insight into somewhere of which I previously knew very little. Our tour guide – Nhung – was great and kept us all on track and made everything run as smoothly as possible. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour!
Visiting the Cu Chi Tunnels and being at the homestay.
Nhung was excellent - very knowledgeable, accessible and patient!
Be prepared for the heat and take care when trying to cross the roads in Vietnam - that's a truly terrifying experience! 🤣
I did the grade 3 version, I found the walks easy in terms of height gain and distance, but a lot of the paths have very uneven rock and stone surfaces and I would recommend proper walking boots to avoid twisted ankles.
The Hotel in Port Soller was plain, clean and comfortable with a good breakfast. Quality of the diners in local restaurants was variable. The Monestry (wonderful buildings) is really an hotel/hostel adequate breakfast but ldisappointing evening meals. Picnics were a piece of fruit and a filled roll, fairly basic.
The walks were pleasingly varied and our guide was excellent.
Sitting on a high peak on the last day surveying a vast panorama.
Jacob was delightful, just the right blend of good humour and efficiency.
Bring proper boots. Read the trip notes properly!
Excellent fortnight. Jason and Jeffry were wonderful guys to have as guides
Forest walking
Brilliant
Get fit before hand
Varied walking on an island with fascinating geography and history. Fun and sociable group of like-minded travellers.
Walking on the “Volcanoes Route” above the clouds with views over to Tenerife and seeing choughs
Good to very good. Friendly and knowledgeable. Only slight criticisms are that he could have been more proactive in arranging activities on our free day and he sometimes needed to wait for the rest of the group to catch up before imparting information.
Weather can be varied and although you can expect sunshine it can also be cloudy and windy, particularly at higher altitudes. Don’t underestimate the physical challenge. Though distances are quite short, there is a lot of up and down, which makes it challenging in the heat.
A beautiful country with contrasting scenery from white sand beaches to green tea plantations and jungle and plains.
The tour was a great mix of history and temples with wildlife and scenery.
Welcoming, hospitably people with a rich and diverse culture
A range of hotels from satisfactory to good, expect buffet meals with some a la carte, but be prepared to wait.
Unexpectedly releasing baby turtles into the Indian Ocean Climbing Lion Rock and exploring Lovers Leap waterfall
Sujan presented his country with great enthusiasm and knowledge. Always taking care of the group and making small amendments to the schedule to ensure we had the best of everything.
It's quite a full on trip with some early starts and long drives but go with the flow and enjoy. Don't expect many dining out opportunities as hotels tend to be slightly out of town and even in the towns options are limited. Expect it to be hot and humid
From the moment I stepped off the plane and met our guides Clifford and Andy the trip was exciting it comprised of such a fabulous variety of experiences and immersed you in South African culture, history, beauty and wildlife. The accommodation was varied and suited the environments we were in. The game drives were superb and we saw such a large variety of animals and birds. The hikes took us to areas of outstanding breathtaking beauty. Our guides were phenomenal nothing was to much trouble they understood our individuality and catered to our needs as the only vegetarian in the group I was given some of the most awesome meals courtesy of our guides cooking skills. I would highly recommend this trip
The whole trip was inspiring however seeing the baby hyena and the rhinos with their baby was emotional. The hike on the last day to Sentinel peak and climbing the ladders was a personal inspirational moment for me
Clifford and Andy were incredible the knowledge of the country and history was immense they were energetic and worked tirelessly to make sure we eat well, saw as much as possible and learnt about their history and culture. They attended to the group needs to the smallest detail which made a big difference and gave that feeling of being special and valued. Andy is an outstanding driver I always felt secure attended to and confident in their hands. It’s the first time in arriving at the airport to go home I have felt tearful at leaving the guides
I would say do not underestimate the hiking you do need to be fit and the terrain is tricky at times. There are places that will do laundry during the trip so do not over pack. A head torch is a must. Overall my advice is take each moment in and enjoy
Overall very well organised, a nice balance between history and cultural experiences, just wish more of the cultural/food experiences were included in the price rather then the historical ones as we had to miss out on some of them due to the additional cost.
Nhung was amazing, very knowledgeable, experienced and good fun. Dealt with any issues calmly and efficiently. 10 out of 10!
Great experience if you want to see a maximum in a short space of time.
Fitting in an impressive amount of places, although it is a lot of driving we had a fantastic driver. Really enjoyed the sites, and finished off with the breathtaking Taj Mahal.
Aside from the Taj Mahal…the lakes of Udaipur at sunset are absolutely stunning. As well as experiencing Holi festival in Jaipur was a really great experience.
Got us through the trip, however other members of our group had to look out for slower members of the group. Sent my sister and I to a jewellery shop that didn’t stock the item we had asked him where the best place to buy it was. Although we appreciated the help he seemed disinterested when members of the tour asked questions. It also felt like he had a very close relationship with the owners of the restaurants we ate at and many were low quality with poor service which led to us walking out of one much to his discomfort.
Requires meticulous packing and organisation due to the amount of moving around. Be aware of what prices you are paying as were paying 2x to as much as x6 local rates and on at least one occasion were given a different tourist menu with English pricing. I would also recommend getting a SIM card although advised we didn’t need one by our tour leader, the long bus journeys and non or low - quality wifi at the hotels certainly warranted one.
We really appreciate Surinder’s review, and are glad she enjoyed the sites she visited on her trip to India with us. We’re sorry that a couple of aspects gave her cause for disappointment, though.
Many restaurants in India have different rates for local Indian people than they do for foreign tourists, particularly tour groups. This is particular true for restaurants which cater towards tourists, which are generally those recommended by our tour leaders, as they have good hygiene ratings. This is similarly why we don’t include trying local street food, as while our clients are free to do this in their own time, it is simply not something we would recommend given that it could lead to a very upset stomach. We are, however, sorry that some of the establishments Surinder’s group ate at were not to her liking.
Surinder’s tour leader has explained that he recommended a jewellery shop that he was sure was reputable, and regrets that it didn’t stock the item she wanted; he didn’t, however, feel comfortable recommending other nearby stores which he was aware may have stocked fake items.
Surinder’s leader receives very positive feedback from clients overall, so we were regretful to learn that she didn’t have a similar experience with him on this departure. We would mention that clients in Surinder’s group rated her leader at 4.33 out of 5 overall, which is a very good score; however, we have spoken to him about aspects of his performance which could be improved in the future.
We’d like to thank Surinder for detailing her experience, and hope to be able to welcome her back on another Exodus trip when she travels again.

The trip included all the sites we wanted to see, but it was done at such a pace that it was exhausting and difficult to take everything in.
The Taj Mahal at sunrise - so beautiful. Other highlights were the tigers at Ranthambore, the Seikh temple in Delhi and the cooking demonstration in Jaipur.
He was good on the whole, but not impressed by his serious participation in the Holi Festival celebrations. In the end he was a bit more flexible, we did not want to see another fort when we got to Delhi!
You need stamina. The notes say you do not need to be fit, but the pace is relentless and the hours of travelling took us by surprise.
We’d like to thank Jo for her feedback. Whilst we are pleased to read that she enjoyed her holiday overall, we were sorry to learn that she had concerns about the activity level of the trip and particularly did not enjoy her visit to Varanasi. We do mention in our trip notes that this is a busy itinerary, with longer journeys, mainly because this region of India offers so much to see and experience in the time frame. Our customers generally find the pace to be appropriate for the duration of the trip, but we do appreciate some customers may prefer more guidance on this aspect of our trips. There is a big focus on the local experience which we highlight in our trip notes so that our customers know what to expect. We are aware that some customers are a bit wary of travelling in open carriages for the sleeper train however, due to the seat allocation system for the Indian trains and limited capacity of seats in higher classes, this is the most suitable option for our groups. The tour leader is always close by if there are any concerns.
We’re grateful for the time she took to leave a review and hope that we can welcome her on future trips with us!
