It was a great trip, lovely group, excellent guide, good itinerary
Camel ride!
He was fantastic. It was irriating that everything was preferred to be paid in cash - having a system for card payments would be cheaper and more convenient for us, and surely easier for him too. I was shocked how much cash some people carry!
Everything was very well arranged and we had an excellent guide whose enthusiasm inspired us all. The day in Cairo was rather busy but overall the trip was very well planned and we saw some mind blowing sites every day. We also loved the quiet moments cruising along the Nile
There were so many it is hard to single out one so to list a few, they were the first tomb we entered with the amazing colours, the Tutankhamen exhibits in the museum and the tomb of Tutankhamen. Closely followed by Abu Simbel.
Ahmed was an outstanding guide. His knowledge of the history and culture was superb and the enthusiasm with which he imparted it was second to none. We all felt we could not have had a better guide. His kindness and thoughtfulness was also wonderful.
It was a wonderful trip made all the better by the excellent leader/guide Ahmed who went over and above the norm to make this a truly exceptional experience. We have now been on 3 trips with Exodus Travels and each one has been very well organised and perfectly executed. We have seen all that we hoped and expected to see plus more besides. The holidays are great value. The staff are highly motivated and well trained. The holidays provide is with exactly what we need and want.
Being in Tutankhamun’s tomb and the cruise on the Nile. Great food. Fun entertainment.
This was our 3rd trip with Exodus Travels and we feel Ahmed was our best tour leader so far. His knowledge of the history and culture of Egypt was excellent and he imparted that knowledge with skill and good humour. He is a great story teller.
Food wasn’t amazing but other than that, everything was great. Amazing scenery and culture, friendly people, and no doubt you’ll have amazing people sharing the trip with you.
Probably the Sahara Desert, with the scenery, sunsets, sunrises, camel ride, stargazing, music and seeing big beetles leaving tracks across the sand dunes. Also the Gite (and Hammam) in the Atlas Mountains, and the storks at Ait Ben Haddou.
Excellent, probably the best I’ve had so far.
Book it! Don’t expect comfort, but it’s amazing trip you’ll never forget.
I went to Morocco to experience a different culture and to see the beautiful country. Unfortunately, I had to leave the tour after day 4 due to some health issues. Our tour guide, Mohammad, was so helpful in getting me to the appropriate place to go on my return trip. He was an excellent guide that was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very professional. All of us on the tour were very fortunate to have him as our guide.
Excellent
Visit Morocco! You won’t regret it!
This is a fast paced holiday, with lots of places to be and even more things to see. Every day brings new wonders. Our whole, lovely group, said that they had taken far more photos than they had expected to. The scenery, especially in Kyrgyzstan, is awesome. The buildings, and statues, are built on an epic scale. Countryside, cityscape, desert landscape, lakes this holiday has it all. One of our group summed it up “Before I came people asked me “Where? Why on earth would you go there?” Now I would reply “why on earth wouldn’t you”. There are long drive (with plenty of stops) and early starts but that’s what allows you to see so much. The train rides in Uzbekistan added to the feel of adventure. I’m in my sixties, and I like my sleep, I certainly never expected to actually enjoy being woken in the middle of the night to travel to the station, catch a sleeper train and back to sleep for three hours! When I woke I was in the middle of a desert, with a glorious red sunrise shining across the land and it was stunning. If you’re thinking about this holiday then book it asap. Oh and the food in all three countries was fantastic.
Almost too many inspiring moments to count In Kyrgyzstan it was probably watching the eagle handler and holding the eagle myself; all with an amazing mountain backdrop. I like my food so being sent into to supermarkets in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan to buy food for picnic lunches was something I, and the rest of our group, really enjoyed. In Uzbekistan possibly going out to the ancient forts in the Kyzylkum desert was an unexpected experience. The addition of the desert and Khiva is a great one. It's hard to imagine the holiday ending earlier; it just would not have been the same
Both Vitaly (Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan) and Dilshod (Uzbekistan) were excellent. They had different life experiences and both opened their countries up for us to experience and enjoy.
Take luggage that is mobile as you will be moving around and changing modes of transport a lot. We went in October as it was getting a little cooler and the temperature in all three countries was good for us. Go and enjoy. This is a holiday where the memories stay with you.
So the views were beautiful, the walks invigorating, the company a joy. But I have to comment on three things. 1) Eduardo did us wrong arranging our trip out of Bomerano. We had originally booked a private transfer to the airport but changed plans after the trip began. I sent a request to Exodus to change it but never heard back. I called and was told someone would call me back. Never happened. I asked our tour leader and he said Eduardo was in charge of that at the local level. I met with Eduardo in person and he agreed verbally to take three of us to the ferry dock. When the day came he refused on the basis of the fact that one other person who needed to go to the airport had joined our private transfer. Then Eduardo added another guy not from the tour who needed to buy or pick up something in another town along the way. When I complained that here we had all paid extra for this private transfer and we got driven through this other town in all kinds of traffic and waited while this guy did his errand, Eduardo still refused to take us to the ferry dock even though he had verbally agreed to do so. Very unimpressive. 2) I understand why the itinerary had to be updated several times due to weather BUT we could never be sure what was what because it was hard to keep in mind the details of the sometimes confusing verbal instructions we were told each night. A simple email or WhatsApp set of detailed instructions about the next day sent each evening would have solved this issue. 3) both the room by the pool where we met each evening to get our information for the next day and the dining room have the most horrendous acoustics, making it hard to hear the verbal instructions, unpleasant to dine there, and less able to enjoy our fellow traveler’s company or even the meal. Some carpeting or acoustic panels on the ceilings or meeting in a different room would have solved this.
The Path of the Gods!!
Nico was very careful and took his responsibilities to us very seriously. This was surely not easy as the walks were challenging and I’d guess the average age in our group was mid-seventies. Anything could have happened but thanks to Nico there were no casualties.
The Sierra de Aitana trek more than lived up to expectations. The scenery was magnificent and the walking was challenging enough to feel like an achievement each day, but manageable enough to be great fun.
Reaching the summit of Aitana
The group bonded well, thanks to the expert and sensitive leadership of our host Jose. His passion for the mountains and his home region underpin this trip, and his ability to manage a large group with different trekking experience and ability made the trip enjoyable for everyone. Jose always went the extra mile to ensure we were happy and safe, and (very importantly) well fed! His sandwiches are legendary and we were all grateful for his advice on local restaurants, and a wine and olive oil tasting at a nearby vineyard. Thanks, Jose for a truly memorable week.
Make sure you are fit enough for this challenge.
This was a busy itinerary with some early starts and long transfers, but it meant we saw so many amazing places every day. Our memory of the first week in the north, was of the noisy mayhem that is India, with quite a lot of sightseeing to monuments. In contrast the week in Kerala was more relaxed either by the sea or in the mountains. Being a ‘Premium Adventure’ meant we were in good standard hotels, and about half the dinners and some lunches were included in the price, which was appreciated. Also, our leader saw to all the tipping for the whole trip, so we didn’t have to have a kitty (a bit of a bugbear on previous Exodus trips).
It is difficult to pick out one moment, but have to say that the Taj Mahal did not disappoint. Being there from sunrise, watching the colours change with the light was a magical experience. Another vivid memory is of a late afternoon walk through a tea plantation after the pickers had left.
Mayank was an outstanding leader. We were a small group who all gelled, so it was very informal and Mayank was one of the gang. He was efficient, reliable and great fun. On the long journeys he talked at length about aspects of Indian life, giving us all a greater insight into the history and culture of the country. Nothing was too much trouble and he definitely added to the success of the holiday.
If you are likely to visit India only once, this tour would be an excellent choice. We had so many different experiences and enjoyed the great variety. Although it might be a bit more expensive than other Exodus tours, we felt it was good value.
Excellent trip, beautiful scenery, and an absolutely fabulous guide, Fabrizio!! His enthusiasm, in-depth knowledge and overall care for our group made the experience exceptional. Ask for him by name!
Matera, Monopoli, Otranto
