CYCLE THE BACKROADS OF SRI LANKA

brilliant trip and on a bike is the best way to see Sri Lanka.

Most Inspirational Moment

the long ride up to Nuwarya Ellya - classic challenging day with the most wonderful hotel at the end of it.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Peter and his team - Ekanaike, Upali and Suresh. Great team work. Peter knows Sri Lanka like the back of his hand. Always chose different route etc and places to eat and stop to suit the group and the weather (we had lots of rain). Bikes well looked after by the rest of the team.

Advice for Potential Travellers

There was lots of rain in November but apart from not taking as many photos with blue sky it did not spoil the trip very much. Trekking sandals best to bike in due to the hat and wet. Make sure your saddle is comfy - bring your own and bring chamois cream for the sore bits. Take your time. There may be faster cyclists than you - this was my first bike trip and I was at the back but never felt it was too hard.

CARPATHIAN CULTURE AND WILDLIFE

Generally a good holiday, but definitely biased towards the walking and wildlife aspects of the trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Romania is a beautiful country and we will definitely be returning to explore more of its countryside and cultures.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Cosmin was a very knowledgable and enthusiastic leader, keen to share his his knowledge of Romanian wildlife. He also interacted well with the group and was interested to learn from us as well as the other way around. Katarina's tour of Libearty was very interesting and touching - her personal involvement in the project made the trip special.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take good quality binoculars for the bear hide trip and river trip. Take duct tape to mask the red light on your camera as the red light disturbs the bears at the hide. The bears also dislike bright colours - so dark clothing is required.

CYCLE THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO

It’s an amazing physical and spiritual experience, and the Spanish guides went above and beyond the call of duty. However, the trip was physically more demanding than the description led me to believe, beware if you have food allergies, and I didn’t think much of the insurance assistance company provided by Exodus.

Most Inspirational Moment

I got up very early one morning and tackled the most arduous day of the holiday by myself. Seeing the sun rise while bing totally alone but surrounded by all that natural grandeur and beauty was an experience I shall never forget.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Ignacio (Nacho) was funny, considerate, well-informed, knowledgeable, and eager to communicate his love of the region to his little flock. After I had my accident, he went out of his way to make sure that I had everything I needed.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Tiop 1: If you have any kind of food intolerance or allergy, take your own supplies with you. Exodus assured me that gluten intolerance wouldn't be a problem, but all they had done was alert the guide. Fortunately, we found a supermarket that stocked gluten-free food; these are not common in Spain. Without this, one morning I would have faced the prospect of eating raw tomatoes (only) for breakfast.Tip 2: a cycle route in Spain is not the same beast as a cycle route in the UK. Think unmade up road, forest track, large loose boulders.

ANTARCTICA, FALKLANDS & SOUTH GEORGIA

Fantastic – great photographic trip. A lot of days at sea though – so an interest in sea-birds useful! South Georgia should be a must for anyone who enjoys photographing wildlife, so the time toget there is well worthwhile.

Most Inspirational Moment

Gold Harbour on a sunny day with blue skies and mating elephant seals all over the place; and Shackleton's grave

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent - the best we've had on 4 antarctic trips

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be on the first zodiac going to land, and one the last one back! And take lots of sea-sickness tablets

CYCLE THE BACKROADS OF SRI LANKA

Cycling is a great way to see Sri Lanka – cycling through the small villages we always got a friendly welcome. Beautiful scenery also.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing one of the less experienced cyclists tough it out on the hardest day - cycling about 12 hours and a fair portion uphill. She got in at 7:30pm and was just determined to make it to the finish line.

Thoughts on Group Leader

A Sri Lankan fellow doing his first solo tour - he did very well and was really kind hearted. Liked him alot.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It really is very hard to get cycling gear in Sri Lanka - even if you can find it, most stock stops at 'Asian' medium size which is kinda small.

MT TOUBKAL WINTER CLIMB

I had a ball! Morocco was amazing not what i expected, a nice surprise. The holiday was organised very well by Exodus i thought Marrakech was just the right mixture of culture and fun. The climb to the top of the two summits was gruelling but extremely rewarding! I met a group of fab people and we all got on really well. I would definately visit Morocco again.

Most Inspirational Moment

Standing on the summit of Jebel Toubkal. The climb to the summit was gruelling, traversing snow and ice with crampons was demanding coupled to ascending in altitute, but that adds to the sense of achievement when you reach the summit.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Great, i was less fit and suffered more with altitiute than the rest of the group but he was very patient and always engaged me in conversation. He was also very knowledgeable on the history and culture of Morocco.Couldnt fault the group leader.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Approach the trip with confidence and optimism and you'll have a great time.

TRAILS OF VIETNAM

A good way of getting a taste of a lot of the country. Note: this means a lot of travel time.

Most Inspirational Moment

The friendliness of the locals.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent

Advice for Potential Travellers

The moderate/challenging rating applies more to the amount of travelling and number of excursions undertaken than the strenuousness of the activities.

A WEEK IN JORDAN

A well organised, hassle free week in Jordan. Excellent leader and a happy group . Jordan is an interesting country with good infrastructure and of course has ‘star’ attractions like Petra and Jerash

Most Inspirational Moment

has to be Petra - much bigger than you would expect and was very quiet in December! You are able to get away to unfrequented parts of the site with only a bit of effort .

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was good fun and as you would expect very knowledgeable on his country and region

Advice for Potential Travellers

Jordan is as expensive as Uk for meals and general expenses so don't expect a cheap economy
