This was a great adventure that was very scenic and provided a challenging ride. The tour leaders were great and created an overall wonderful experience. Similar to another Exodus trip, the quality of the hotels are mixed. I can appreciate it difficult to find hotels in each location but it is not clear if there are minimum standards / expectations by Exodus. It appears that these decisions are made by the local tour company subject to budgets provided by Exodus, but the lack of ownership on securing clean and comfortable hotels is one reason that I do not fully recommend Exodus.
The ride through the lava field around Llaima volcano - it was a tough gravel road, but awe inspiring views!
Excellent - did a great job in creating a fun adventure.
Pay attention to the hotels.
A relatively undemanding tour, mainly by bus, of most of Sri Lanka’s highlights ranging from amazing Buddhist images and the fascinating remains of a former capital to tremendous short hikes, a bike ride, a beautiful seaside hotel, wildlife safaris and visits to rural homes. The hotels were good or excellent and the mainly local food was very good with good non-local alternatives.
The climb of Sirigiya Rock: a precipitous (but safe) ascent of the side of this former fortified palace on the top of a massive rock outcrop.
Excellent. As well as being a walking encyclopaedia of Sri Lanka, Sujan Weerakoon is a superb organiser who seems to be able to fix any problem with a smile. With his great sense of humour and ability to tell it as it is, he quickly established a brilliant rapport with everyone in the group. He was always ready with accurate and clear advice as to where to eat and what to do during the few free periods.
Less active travellers can easily sit out the more strenuous activities. Expect some rain (at least in mid-late January) but don't let that put you off: it's warm. Good coffee is hard to come by. Bring binoculars and/or a telephoto lens for wildlife spotting.
This trip is great if you don’t want full-on culture. It covers three Mayan archaeological sites which enabled us to slowly build a picture of the ancient Mayans, how their civilisation grew and why they abandoned their cities. Alongside other aspects of Belizean culture, there’s a lot of wildlife on show, mainly birds, but also bats, spider monkeys, howler monkeys, coatimundi, and of course an array of sealife at Caye Caulker. We saw lots of new bird species with the invaluable help of our guide, Jorge Estrella.
The work of the baboon (howler monkey) sanctuary. There are no enclosures, so the animals effectively live wild. The sanctuary works with the local community to protect the monkeys, which in turn is beneficial for other animal species in the area. We were shown around the sanctuary by the son of the founder, who is clearly passionate about his father's legacy. And of course, Tikal. It is an impressive city in an amazing jungle setting.
Jorge Estrella looked after us very well. He was up every morning at 6am to go birding before breakfast for those who wanted to join him. And throughout the day he made sure everything ran smoothly, adjusting plans on the odd occasion when required. His knowledge of Mayan culture helped to bring everything to life and and what it would have been like to live in an ancient Mayan city. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of birds, their songs and behaviours, as well as plants and other animals. Jorge is one of the best guides we've had and Exodus is lucky to have him.
If you're travelling via Miami, the airport is a little chaotic, particularly on the outbound leg. Queueing for the hotel airport shuttle bus is a free for all, including at the hotel the next morning. There were multiple pick up points at the airport. The shuttles drive along slowly and pick up people as they go. So it's best to turn left out of the airport building to be at the beginning of the pick up run. The pick up area is one level above the taxi tanks. However, the shuttles did seem to be a little bit more frequent than the advertised every 30 minutes. Belize is introducing online immigration forms which all visitors must complete. They're currently in transition, so paper forms are available, either on the plane or on arrival at Belize airport. See the Foreign and Commonwealth Office travel advice online. If you fly American American airlines, they give out the immigration forms on the plane stating that only one form per family is required. This is incorrect. It is one form per person.

Probably the best I’ve done; and I’ve been to 53 countries. (Not all with a travel company of course). The Saudi Arabia trip was one of the best I’ve taken with Exodus or any other travel company. It was exceptional. Thank you to the team. The guide, Abdulrahman was outstanding.
The camel market, Medinah, Elephant Rock, Al Ula, HEGRA!; it's all just highlights! :-)
The best tour leader I've ever experienced, bar none. I highly recommend you secure his services for your future trips to KSA.
The Saudi trip was exceptionally interesting and our guide, Fatmah, was amazing.
When booking the trip I was especially interested in the pre-Islamic sites , and they do not disappoint. Hegira and AlUla were stunning, and the days spent in the surrounding desert oasis area were highlights for me. One of the great things about this trip is discovering all the diverse parts of Saudi, and every day had a highlight. I especially loved Jeddah Old Town, the camel market, and visiting the various heritage villages.
Fatmah is an outstanding guide, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Her stories enlivened all our long journeys by car, and she provided many insights into Saudi life today.
We are doing 3 exodus trips in a row. First 2 were excellent!
Camino - everyday!
Alberto was an exceptional guide. His insight and compassion for our very large group was fantastic. He had to juggle a vast range of cycling abilities and fitness, on what was, for some, a challenging ride - and he did that well! Alberto is a warm human, passionate aout his country, the camino and other cultures. We have had a few Exodus guides now, and Alberto rates very highly!
Brilliantly organised through Cumbres Travel the Spanish Operator.The guide Alfonso was extraordinary.Made time for everyone and led with charm a very disparate group.
Getting to Santiago in one piece- and indeed hard cycling beautiful scenery excellence food and drink
The Cumbres guides are good -2 are exceptional Javi who we had 18 months ago and Alfonso who has led 3 trips I have been on
Small groups with similar interests, local leaders with great experience, responsibility, they really care about about the participants, safety and fun
Every had its own highlight: cycling along the beautiful coastline, conquer the brutal head winds, exciting crossing of the Mino river to Spain, as the booked boat transfer did not run that day; though climbs to Pontevedra, beautiful countryside to Padron, and finally the well deserved arrival in Santiago.
I have done many cycle trips with Exodus (>30) and Alfonso is the best guide I ever experienced on a trip. I met Alfonso 7 years ago on a cycle trip in Mallorca, and I was happily surprised that he was our cycle leader in this trip. Alfonso has everything what makes a great cycle leader: very knowledgeable, concerned about safety of group, making right decisions to safeguard the participants, very sociable and interactive with cyclists; always there to provide support, tips when needed.
Well-organised, excellent tour guide (Alphonso), good value for money.
The varied scenery
One of the best tour leaders I have ever come across.
