Andre was an amazing group leader for our Bali experience 10 day tour. He made sure everyone was comfortable, understood, and heard. He organized a whole surfing lesson and I was so nervous because I have never surfed before. It was one of my absolute favorite experiences of the entire trip. A completey unexpected and wonderful experience. Andre is a fabulous group leader and has all the qualities you'd want in a guide. 10/10. Highly recommend going on any tour that he is leading. You'll have such an amazing time!
I spent the last year trying to decide what I wanted to do for my 50th birthday. I wanted to go someplace "different" and nothing lit a spark. I thought it might be fun to do Galapagos and Machu Picchu and I happened up on Exodus Travels while trying to find that exact trip, but after stumbling upon the Premium Peru itinerary I was hit with that spark I was looking for. This was a last-minute decision for us as we booked barely two months before departure and the Exodus folks and website were so easy to work. I was able to book it in a snap. The trip was perfectly planned with great hotels, food, transportation and experiences. We were spoiled from Day 1. We didn't have to worry about anything other than making sure we didn't leave anything behind, that our water bottles were filled, and we were on time for our next day's adventure. From the ocean to the mountains to the rainforest, we saw and learned about the rich history and culture of the Peruvian land and peoples. The itinerary was filled with fascinating stops, such as Arequipa, Lake Titicaca and Pun, Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu, the rain forest. We learned about the ancient peoples and how their traditions continue today despite the European influences that have taken hold since the 1600s. The Peruvian culture is a beautiful blend of both. William, our phenomenal group leader, imbued us with his vast knowledge of the ancient and modern cultures all while ensuring our trip was all we had hoped for.
This was my first cycling tour with Exodus and it was absolutely excellent. Sri Lanka is a fascinating country with lots to see. The cycling was great - some of it was pretty tough - especially the day to Nuwara Eliya but doable for anyone with a good level of fitness. The scenery across the country was beautiful and the food was fabulous.
The accommodation was generally of a very high standard. Two places were fairly basic but we only stayed in them for 1 night each so it was fine.
This is a great trip and if you’re considering booking it you should - you won’t regret it!
