The many wonders of Morocco

From the beautiful Casablanca mosque, to the awe inspiring Sahara, the timeless Berber villages and the bustle of Fez’s Medina, this trip gives you a full experience of Morocco.

Most Inspirational Moment

Berber village in the hills. A unique privilege to see how the Berber population live and experience the quiet solitude of their life. The stars were just amazing up there!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Khaled was a delight. Patient, organised and knowledgeable. Always ready to have a laugh. Nothing rattled him, and he did have some challenges on our tour. We were always safe and well cared for.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Read the trip notes! This is not an easy tour. There is a lot of walking, quite a bit of which is on uneven ground, but if you like a weekend hike you'll love this tour. Embrace the experience, and fully explore this wonderful Northern African country.

Three fabulous countries in one trip!

A thorough and fast paced tour of the three Baltic countries, with a varied itinerary and lots of time in the wonderful cities. Excellent city tours throughout and a perfect guide. Loved it!

Most Inspirational Moment

Hill of Crosses. Did not know what to expect but was blown away.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lina was amazing. Constantly went above and beyond. Set up the WhatsApp group before we even started and shared loads of suggestions and tips along the way for eating and sites to visit in free time. Lina is also very knowledgeable and happy to share insights and personal family history. A wealth of experience and information.

Advice for Potential Travellers

There is a lot of walking on this tour, what with the city tours and so many fantastic sites. Read the trip notes carefully to ensure it is for you. Helsinki is a very easy add on at the start of the trip, as it is just a ferry ride away from Tallinn.

Wonderful experience in Translyvanian Mountains

This trip had beautiful walks in the Carpathian mountains. Seeing the bears while in the hide was a highlight though. The visit to the bear sanctuary for rescued bears was also very moving. The hikes did require a high degree of fitness. Note that when we booked this trip was a level 2, but the same trip has been reclassified as a level 3, which in our experience is merited. The last day is the most challenging but the last part to the very peak is optional and was only done by a small part of our group. Our guide Sebi was excellent and paced the walk for the group’s abilities. He was also very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and customs.

Most Inspirational Moment

The bear hide - seeing the wild bears interacting with each other.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader Sebi was excellent. He was knowledgeable and caring.

A Dreamy Escape Along the Amalfi Coast

I had the most amazing experience on the Highlights of the Amalfi Coast tour! The breath taking hikes, fascinating historical sites like Pompeii, and charming coastal towns were made even better by our incredible guide, who shared local insights and history at every turn. The group was small and fun, making it feel more personal, and staying in a family-run hotel gave the trip an authentic touch. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking for a perfect balance of culture, nature, and relaxation!

Most Inspirational Moment

The most inspiring moment for me was standing atop the Path of the Gods, gazing at the endless views of the coastline and Mediterranean Sea. The sense of achievement after the hike, combined with the breath taking beauty, made me feel deeply connected to the natural world. Our guide, Severio's passion for the region's history and culture during that moment added a layer of meaning that made it truly unforgettable.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Severio, the tour leader on the Highlights of the Amalfi Coast trip has deep knowledge, enthusiasm, and passionate guide. He has insights into the local culture, history, and nature, as well as his ability to keep the group organized and engaged. His passion for the Amalfi Coast makes him a highly recommended guide, providing a well-rounded and enjoyable experience.

Advice for Potential Travellers

For travellers heading to the Amalfi Coast, pack comfortable walking shoes since the terrain can be steep and uneven. Embrace local culture by learning a few Italian phrases, and prepare for a blend of hiking, historical exploration, and relaxation. Be mindful of the Mediterranean climate, and bring sunscreen and a hat for sunny days. Finally, don’t miss out on trying local cuisine and lemon-based specialties, as food is a key highlight of the region.

Cycling the Baltics

Fascinating trip through interesting cities and countryside in the Baltics, led by the brilliant Lina. I was surprised to read recent negative reviews of this tour as it certainly didn’t match our experience. We were lucky to have a great group that really gelled and we all thought Lina was a brilliant leader. It is more of a cruising sight seeing tour then a full on cycling trip, the cycling is incidental on some days and the bikes are heavy shopping type bikes, but the terrain is generally flat and the riding is easy. The hotels were fine, though towels in the in Baltics are very thin and cheap and the trip would perhaps benefit from a non cycling day in the middle with a free afternoon to allow time for laundry and chilling.

Most Inspirational Moment

Exploring great cities of Riga and Vilnius, amazing architecture and lots of great bars and restaurants. Go to the Lucille blues bar in Vilnius if you like great live music.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lina was amazing, she is intelligent, incredibly articulate and funny and she has huge knowledge of the history of the Baltic countries which she shared in some great stories. She also adds some personal stories about her experience during the Soviet period which made everything seem even more real. A really exceptional Exodus guide.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Little nuggets would be to take a travel plug if you need to do some washing, few hotel sinks have them. Despite being late September, the insects were out in force so bug repellents is a must. There are plenty of opportunities to swim so take your swimming stuff.

Tour of Central Europe

We had a lovely time touring Central Europe. At the beginning, we experienced epic flooding all along the Danube River. It rained for the first 2 days of our trip, but we made do and enjoyed what we could.

Most Inspirational Moment

I thoroughly enjoyed Budapest and the Castle Hill area. It was such a beautiful area

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader was Vlad. Such a nice guy who always had a plan B whenever our plans changed because of the weather. He’s calm, professional and always on top of everything. He did a great job organizing us to see and do as much as we could fit into our schedule. He also picked some really great restaurants for us.

Advice for Potential Travellers

There was lots of walking, bring great shoes. Be prepared for busy days in some of Europe’s greatest cities.

Morocco

This is a trip that I had dreamed about. Morraco has so much history, people are friendly and food delicious. Since I visited in 2017 Morraco has changed, its has rubbish everywhere and the stray cats are in such poor condition, it’s heartbreaking also in Marrakech square there was monkeys on chains force to dance. Now a days this is unacceptable .Unfortunately the accommodation was poor except for two places. Chefchaouen and Fez which was lovely. Our tour guide was excellent and spoke excellent English. One of the guides was poor and none of us understood him. The last hotel in Marrakesh was awful,dirty, food was disgusting and you can’t take bottle water into the hotel, you can’t drink the local water, they don’t provide water. We had to hide our water to get into the hotel. Would I go back to Morocco? Probably not.

Exodus for the win!

The sequence of the tour, and the time allocated for each stop was perfect. It was well balanced between culture, history, nature, food, and people.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking into my hotel in Berat. I felt like a princess being able to sleep in a castle.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Edjon M was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was considerate of every participant and made an effort to give each of us individualized attention and care. Ed added several extra stops to give us additional experiences and exposures to history and culture that were not part of the planned itinerary, and I actually think that without all those additions, the trip would not have become such a highlight of my travel experiences. More importantly, our bus driver, Medi H was incredibly acting as an extra leader in addition to giving us a smooth and safe ride along all those crazy roads. Our driver also helped people on rough terrain, cheered for us, hugged us, danced and swam with us, helped set and clear tables at meals, joked with us, and ate and drank with us. I truly feel his enthusiasm made our group of 15 tourists much more cohesive.
