Exodus Adventure Travels Avis 5 364

We would highly recommend this fascinating trip which takes you through four very different countries starting in Hungary then onto Romania ,Bulgaria and ending in Istanbul- in each country we saw stunning scenery, learnt about the individual extensive histories ,as well as their culture and traditions and visited some of sights that bring these histories to life. All overseen by our fantastic guide Barni ,whom it would seem knows all the best people , places and sights to see and experience on this trip.
There were so many delightful and unexpected adventures starting with the Baroque Thermal baths and its Art Nouveau architecture in Budapest and ending with the magnificent Ottoman mosques of Istanbul
In between we saw amongst many sights ,the beautiful painted wooden churches of the Maramures region of Romania , alongside picturesque Saxon villages with their fortresses and castles ,we learned about the legend of the infamous Vlad the Impaler ,as well as their Royalty and more recently the Communist occupation.We also tasted the wines of Hungary and the paplinka of Romania. Bulgaria brought us iconic cathedrals and Roman ruins and mosaics amongst other things.
The scenery is constantly changing from fertile plains to rolling hills and rivers, to snow covered mountains.
Both Romania and Bulgaria still feel untouched by mass tourism so can offer unique experiences without long queues or costs.
All the accommodation was family- run and excellently located ,so we could maximise our free time as most sights were easily reached.Although the itinerary was very full and busy we had plenty of free time to visit additional attractions - Barni arranged for local guides to both inform and orientate us to each place with suggestions about what to do and were to eat etc.
We had indeed been waiting for a trip like this to come along and we were not disappointed- Eastern Europe has a lot to offer so we would urge everyone who may be interested in visiting these countries to book now!

Itinerary for 2 weeks in Peru, including 7 day trek/6 nights camping was very detailed, full and well planned. Challenge level and expectations, including any health risks and considerations were clear. Travel logistics & accommodations were clearly communicated and easy to navigate. Guide and all staff were very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate for what they do which made the experience all the better. I will definitely travel with Exodus again and recommend it to anyone who wants to see the world without planning everything on their own.

Great trip with great guide.

Peter was great - from initial what’s app group , organising meeting everyone, ensuring we all drank enough water ,setting pace so everyone managed the walks etc.
His enthusiasm for the local area and people shone through and it was lovely to visit local stops especially the lunch stops and coffee bars .He ensured the fitter members of the group got a chance to do a bit extra and was encouraging to all the group. Knowledge of history and local culture was excellent . He provided lots of extra information to help plan day in Seville etc and took fantastic photos which he shared with the group at he end . A lovely touch . He felt like a good friend rather than a “leader” almost immediately .
Lovely accommodation and great meals

Rapid response

My cycling tour of the Portugese Camino, Porto to Santiago de Compestella, was wonderful. The scenery, the accomodations, the meals were all exquisite 👌 Above all , our guide and driver were the best. They thought of everything to make our experience the best it could be. All ready planning my next cycling 🚲 vacation.

All ok, forthcoming agents.

The trip was well planned and thought out. From beginning to end, we were always on the move, experiencing the real Morocco. We even ate in family homes, and our tour guide kindly invited us for tea with his family. I feel like I had an inside look into local life. Our guide had a great personality, what a happy, exuberant person he was.

Exemplary…..customer service above and beyond.

My son and I have just returned from a week in Egypt doing the Ancient Egypt and Nile Cruise trip with Exodus. The trip was amazing. We covered a lot of ground, seeing the Pyramids, the Tombs of the Pharaohs, many temples as well as the Aswan Dam. It was a very busy trip with early starts every day, so not relaxing, but very informative and really gives you a taste of life in Egypt. The organisation was excellent, the guide knowledgeable and friendly. The accommodation was very good and the group we traveled with delightful.
The Exodus team are always helpful and responsive when you are sorting out the arrangements.

Very friendly and helpful staff

Tomasso was a great group leader. Exceptionally helpful, great recommendations and very knowledgable. Another great Exodus trip thank you.

Recently returned from South Africa and Mozambique.
Having travel in Africa on numerous occasions our wildlife experiences were excellent.
Our accommodation through out the trip was very good.

I cannot rate this ‘Essential Peru’ trip highly enough! The cultural experiences, stunning scenery, incredible food, and the warm and welcoming people of Peru. Our guide Giscard was truly outstanding in every way and really made the entire experience one to always remember.
The days start early (but there’s always a good breakfast to get you going!) and there are long driving days, but the coaches are modern and comfortable, most had a toilet on board and some had USB ports , and the drivers were skilled and very safe, always driving to the conditions. Don’t underestimate how altitude will affect you! This trip does well to acclimatise you but the altitude really has an effect. Our guide frequently reminded us to drink water/ Gatorade and take things slowly, as well as checking our blood oxygen levels 2x a day and how we were feeling overall .
The hotels were all of a high standard and luggage taken care of . The food is excellent! And Pisco Sour has become our favourite drink..! You cannot drink tap water in Peru but there was always boxed water available on tour, both on the bus and in a location at the hotel. The itinerary is great, much to do and see at each location both with our guide and on our own.
Exodus Travel exceeded all expectations on this trip and I wouldn’t hesitate to book further trips with them in the future

The trip was amazing. I didn’t have to do any planning. I just showed up and Veriano guided me through an amazing holiday. Just book it… you won’t regret it.

Fantastisk tur i Andalucía.
God tur, fin mat og hyggelige guide.

Had a great trip to Croatia in late April - early May. Wandered round some beautiful towns, such as Zadar and Trogir, with winding lanes, blue sea and sun. Loved Krka national park. Enjoyed investigating Diocletian's Palace in Split - and also enjoyed our visit (and tasting lunch) at Stella Croatica (a family-run herb garden). Impressed by the Great Wall of Tron. And Dubrovnik was amazing. Went with a small group tour. Our leader Vanja was brilliant.

A great trip with a wonderful group of people, many of which had travelled frequently with Exodus and had great trust in them. Our tour leader was friendly and organised, always making sure we were making the most of the time we had available to see all the wonderful sights and animals we had come to see. It really was a trip of a lifetime, and I intend to book another trip with Exodus once I've saved up the money!

I was impressed with their service and the smooth booking service. Unfortunately the holiday had to be cancelled due to the middle east war but they refunded promptly. I would be happy to book again when travel to Jordan is safe.

Excellent leader with good people skills and local knowledge. Good programme.
