This trip was a truly amazing and magical way to experience Norway. Each of the hotels provide their own unique locales and activities from the city, to the coast, to deep in the forests along the fjords. The Britannia in Trondheim is right in the heart of the city and a brief walk from a variety of activities and shopping areas. The city feels alive and is full of wonderful and friendly people. The private tour of the Britannia felt like such a warm and exclusive moment of the trip, and the service at the hotel is top-notch! Our second stop, the Sveggvika Guesthouse, was probably one of my favorites. The ferry ride to Kristiansund was full of breathtaking views, and our rooms at the guesthouse were beautiful. The owners are the kindest most genuine people you have ever met; they made the cooking class and beer tasting experiences feel like I was doing them with close friends I’d known for years. This is also where we got to experience swimming in the Fjord at our guide Åshild’s suggestion. It’s not on the itinerary but it is a MUST DO! Our final stop at the Blåtind Boutique Hotel. The Viking dinner experience was probably my favorite meal of the entire trip. The locally sourced three-course meal was delicious, and was even paired with cider from our cider tasting earlier in the day! We met a variety of people on this leg of our trip, and being able to share in the joys of their professions was an unforgettable experience.

This trip quickly became one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Norway is breathtaking in photos, but nothing compares to standing among the fjords, mountains, and forests in person. Every destination on the itinerary had its own personality and charm, making the journey feel like several incredible trips woven into one. I especially loved how immersive each stop was. Whether we were exploring Trondheim, learning to cook with local ingredients at Sveggvika Guesthouse, kayaking through the fjords, or enjoying the Viking dinner at Blåtind Boutique Hotel, every experience felt authentic and thoughtfully planned. What made this trip even more special were the people we met along the way. The hotel staff, local hosts, and everyone who shared their traditions and stories made Norway feel incredibly welcoming. It never felt like we were just passing through, it felt like we were being invited to experience a small piece of everyday Norwegian life.

We really enjoyed our cycling trip in Sicily. Our guide Davide was brilliant. Funny safe and extremely helpful he made the trip enjoyablefor us all. Organising evening meals transfer arrangements, lunches, and anything we required.. would strongly recommend to anyone considering this trip. Sebby, our driver was also very good too

I had such an awesome time on this trip with my fam! There was so much do do and see every day, and the trip was a perfect amount of activity as I was about 7 months recovered from a hip surgery. The fjords unesco site and the fish factory hotel were great highlights, as well as an authentic Viking dinner. And our guide Åshild was amazing, so good at keeping us organized and so fun to hang out with! Definitely a great way to experience Norway!

Our seven day trip, covering Porto, the Douro wine region, the city of Lisbon and beautiful Obidos was a fabulous introduction to this beautiful country. Transportation was with a comfortable small coach, which did not involve unduly long journeys between our numerous destinations. Hotel stays were comfortable and well located in the towns and villages visited. Our group of nine people were superbly led, guided, supported (and educated!) by the wonderful Carla Costa, who played such an important role in our overall enjoyment. One of the very best tours I have ever experienced.

I am keen on the natural world, fascinated by large carnivores - walking and sharing their world was the reason for booking. The spectacular mountain ranges are wild and empty of people. I enjoyed the fact that each day had a different emphasis and the lack of rest day enabled us to really make the most of our surroundings. Relaxing drinks on the patio, a feast of local delights and the company of likeminded, funny and interesting folk was a great end to each day. I'd love to return in the autumn , but the wildflowers and butterflies were superb.

I thought this was an excellent week, with beautiful walks in spectacular scenery and almost no other hikers; fantastic flora and the excellent guide explained lots about the wildlife and history of the region which I hadn't known much about. The local staff were very hospitable and it's hard to see how the week could have been much better

Beautiful scenery- forests, mountains,wildflower meadows. If you like getting off the beaten track you will love this. Enjoyed the evening meals in the hotel. Our group would meet for drinks on the terrace beforehand. It was a fun and sociable week.

As an Exodus staff member, I had high expectations for this trip – and it exceeded them in every way. Walking the Island of Madeira offers a fantastic mix of dramatic coastal trails, lush levada paths, and panoramic mountain scenery. The itinerary is well-paced, with each day showcasing a different side of the island, from rugged cliffs to tranquil forests. Accommodation, transport, and organisation throughout were seamless, making it easy to focus on enjoying the experience.

This is a fabulous trip if you love hiking and being in nature. In the whole week we only encountered one other person on the trails, so lovely. The terrain was varied with some longer ascents and descents but our efforts were rewarded with lovely views. Although there were 14 of us in my group we were all of a similar pace so the walks were very enjoyable. The accommodation was of a good standard and it was so lovely to eat traditional Bulgarian and local speciality dishes everyday. There was plenty and the choice of desserts every night was a real highlight. I highly recommend this trip. Go ahead and book it. You will not regret it!
