unforgettable experience with a fantastic group of people.
Cycling through quiet paddy fields,shrimp farms and out of the way villages.
Couldn't fault Lam,Organisational skills,knowledge of country and attention to detail outstanding but best of all was great company and fun.
Fantastic trip with wonderful variety.I am not a regular cyclist and was very glad I booked an e bike !
This is a great trip if you like your wildlife. Make sure you bring the best camera/lens that you have got as you can get some amazing photographs.
Having said that there are a few things that could be better:
– Tortuguero is famous for its turtles. We didn’t see any even though we went to the beach around dawn both mornings we were there. Subsequently we found out that you can go on a local guide tour overnight, they then liaise with other guides to share where the turtles are (it is a long beach) to give you the best chance of seeing them. You may have to ask about it at the Lodge about booking a guide
– Manuel Antonio. Likewise a local guide would help find more of the wildlife here, as they know the area & have the required spotting scopes
– Savegre. To see the Quetzal (which is the main reason for going there, & is spectacular) again, you need a local guide to take you to the right area. These can be booked via the hotel
Hopefully Exodus will include these local guides/trips going forward as I have shared this feedback with them.
We enjoyed the coffee/chocolate tour at La Fortuna, where you get to make your own chocolate (you need to add a lot of sugar otherwise it’s very bitter !)
We also did a night trip to see more frogs & other night animals while at Manuel Antonio which was good
Seeing the Quetzal at Savegre
Our driver Victor was excellent

Wow! If it’s adventure you are after, then you’ve come to the right place. Iceland has so much to offer, not only the Northern Lights. There are glacier hikes, caving, surfing, whale watching to name a few activities in Iceland. For the not so physical, there are beautiful waterfalls and amazing landscapes that are breathtaking to say the least. If you have never been to Iceland and you’re contemplating it, do it! You won’t regret it.
The glazier hike was something I won't forget. It is slightly physical (a few uphills) but the beauty that surrounds your while on the hike is magical and so worth it. Diamond beach was phenomenal too - pitch black beach sand with big ice cubes dotted around - one word...unbelievable.
Oskar was amazing. Always communicated with on plans during the trip, be it meal times, how long from one destination to another or safety briefings where needed. Anything you asked Oskar or advice needed, Oskar was more than willing to offer his knowledge on Iceland or advice for travellers that were staying on longer and wanted to continue exploring Iceland.
Iceland is pricey so be prepared when travelling there. Not a great deal of public transport, so the accommodation Exodus arranges is ideally situated - we were able to walk to a few attractions and get something to eat with relative ease.
This trip was a fantastic way to explore more of Cuba and learn about it’s history and culture from locals! The cycling was great overall, there were some hills that were tougher – especially with the humidity and being directly under the sun, but very rewarding. There were lots of long stretches on the trip where we could all cycle at our own pace and so many locals coming out of their homes and shops to wave while we cycled by. I especially loved the views on day 11 cycling along the coast to Cienfuegos! Lunch at the farm on day 13 was definitely the best meal we had while on the trip, but in general, I was surprised with the food options we had for many of our meals. The itinerary was also jam packed with different activities, I absolutely loved our beach day in Trinidad and the classic car tour of Havana was so much fun!
Stopping in a local family's home for a coffee break while on one of our rides, swimming in the crystal clear waters in Playa Ancon in Trinidad, and visiting a local organic farm for lunch!
Rey was fantastic, a wealth of knowledge and so passionate about sharing his country with us! He was super communicative with our group, always making sure we knew what was coming up next, and really took the time to get to know each of us while on the trip. We also had a fantastic bus driver Chacon, who didn't speak much English, but managed to connect with everyone on the trip and showed up with a big smile every morning. He was always looking out for us, bringing us snacks and refilling our water bottles during our rest breaks while riding!
Be adaptable! There are definitely challenges that come with any trip to Cuba but it's so so worth the visit! Make sure to bring a flashlight for blackouts! And pack some electrolytes and protein bars for the rides, and a water bottle with a filter!
I have always wanted to visit India and this trip did not disappoint, its such a vibrant country full of traditions, colour and lots of smiles. The children we met who wanted photos of us along with everyone at India gate who we felt like celebrities posing for them in pictures. The overnight train to Varanasi was an adventure and not to be apprehensive about with some wonderful morning views from the train to take in.
fulfilling a lifelong wish to see the beautiful Taj Mahal at sunrise seeing first hand all the wonderful stones that are laid into the marble inside the mausoleum, spotting the elusive tigers at Ranthambore and the most spiritual place for me was Varanasi watching daily life and being blessed there was magical, also having the most amazing lassi in The Blue lassi shop while watching the funeral processions go past was a great contrast. I could have stayed longer in this area which is full of wonder. I loved walking through the old streets of dehli and in Varanasi where we spotted a new bride in her finery being led to the Ganges for a blessing. hearing the noise that surrounds daily life and the warm smiles of everyone we met will stay with me forever. As this was the 50th anniversary trip we also had a fun night the started with laughing yoga and a very interesting cooking/ eating session only then to be dressed in beautiful saris and be decorated with henna, the men in the group also got dressed up like maharajas which made us feel like family with the lovely family that hosted us for the night.
Naveen was always giving us the best food advice and took us all to some amazing places for lunch and dinner, we had the most amazing butter chicken in dehli and molecule in Agra where we all could have danced the night away to some amazing Indian hits. he also arranged some diyas for us to make a wish on when we were on the sunset trip on the Ganges. he even got a group members bag mended when it broke on the last night there he was brilliant fun at our dinners talking with us all after getting to know us all, I feel I have made a friend for life in Naveen.
its fast and a whistle stop trip that will leave you breathless and wanting to see more of this vibrant country, I know I will be returning to see more. don't hesitate to explore this wonderful country you will be in safe hands with Naveen.
An incredible trek during a less crowded time. Drier and cooler at this time of the year though (crossing the pass we started at -5F).
Standing in Thorong La pass!
Kumar was outstanding. Positive, knowledgeable, and motivated to make our team succeed. The rest of the guides were great as well.
Don't bother packing food, can purchase in tea houses. If you wish, can buy most supplies in Kathmandu in the bazaars (except good socks - tougher to find). Bring clothes pins. Layers are good, as can start cold and transition to warm (and vice versa). Can get / purchase water (boiled as well) in most tea houses. Sun screen and good sun glasses!
The entire group of 12 people had diarrhoea during the holiday. Also it was clear that firstcomers had paid the full price (having been told by Exodus that they only needed 4 people to make the trip viable) that while late bookers and those booking through Trailfinders paid a substantial discount!
We’d like to thank Antonia for her review, though we’re genuinely sorry that a couple of aspects of her trip and experience with Exodus have left a sour taste for her.
Antonia was in contact with us during her tour with regards to other group members feeling unwell, and we followed up with our local team in this regard, as we take the health and safety of our clients extremely seriously. Having conducted an investigation into the matter, we are confident that the hygiene procedures of all the properties we use, and restaurants we visit, on this trip are of a high standard, and could not find any link between meals and members of Antonia’s group being unwell.
Members of Antonia’s group have also been in contact with us, both directly via email and in their post-trip surveys, and have noted that they felt their health and safety was appropriately managed at all times during the trip, and have not raised concerns about illness. While it can, unfortunately, sometimes happen that clients come down with stomach illnesses, especially in tropical countries, due to a variety of factors such as the heat, we appreciate why this might have been worrying for Antonia.
Regarding pricing, we do run promotions, as do any travel company, which it seems later bookers in Antonia’s group were able to utilise. However, this was a matter of luck for them, as it’s not the case that we drop the prices of our trips the closer it gets to the point of departure; later bookings on this occasion happened to coincide with a promotion Exodus began running. Ultimately, the only way to secure your preferred trip and date is to book as soon as possible, as our groups often fill up quickly.
Again, we’d like to thank Antonia for taking the time to provide feedback, as it is valuable for us to maintain the quality of our trips.

A perfect mix of scenic backroads and vibrant town streets, offering an authentic glimpse into India’s culture. The locals were incredibly friendly, always greeting us with smiles and curiosity as we passed through their villages. Kerala’s relaxed vibe, combined with its stunning landscapes, made every ride a joy.
Our tour leader was outstanding—knowledgeable, approachable, and always ready with helpful tips or an encouraging word during the challenging climbs. From the breathtaking tea plantations to the tranquil backwaters, every moment was memorable. Highly recommend this trip for those seeking adventure, cultural immersion, and great camaraderie!
Too many to list here - cycling up the hilly rainforest to Thekaddy, our first glimpse of the Arabian sea and knowing we've cycled South India from coast to coast, a lunch stop at a local couple's home alongside the Cauvery River, visit to the Brihadishwara Temple, to name a few
Waterproof clothing/gear if your going during monsoon season (the rain is welcoming in between the humidity and heat of India)
This trip is utterly amazing on every level and most importantly, it provides an immersive experience in the very best Sri Lanka has to offer.
The thrill of climbing and descending through the tea plantation highlands was extraordinary.
Suresh was THE most professional, personable and attentive guide we have ever had on a dozen previous adventures.
If you want to be exposed to everything this country has to offer then - book it and go.
Just cam back from the Indochina trip, really enjoyed it. Made a video about it, if the future travellers want to know what to expect. https://youtu.be/wxvuuzrSLDE?si=H0rPRX3B_j199x1N
Would be nice if we had extra day in Bangkok. And the free day in Saigon could be a bit more organised.
Angkor Wat was amasing. Would love to spend more time there
Maled was great leader and fun. He went over and beyond to make everyone happy.
Road is very flat. Be aware of hot weather. Bring some electrolytes
