Scenery, sites, salads and stories I originally booked this trip for summer 2020, it was rolled over twice due to the pandemic, but my word, it was a trip worth waiting for! Challenging cycling, spectacular scenery, fabulous food, and heaps of history - it has something for everyone, and then some. One of the best trips I have ever done (and this is my 12th with Exodus), "Team Dimitris" made it a wonderful re-introduction to cycling holidays abroad after the last few years of uncertainty.
Fascinating country, wonderful scenery, people and food ,we learnt so much of Vietnam's history and travelled to diverse areas of the country. I would highly recommend it to friends and fellow travellers.
My father and I had a great experience in Athens with all the excursions. Stacey is the tour guide is phenomenal. The hotels and food were great. However, the experience changed when on June 18th at Best Western Candia, $40 Euros was "taken" from me at the front desk in front of the recording camera, in the presence of the receptionist Alexious George and the coworker who "invaded my private space" at the front desk. I made an official complaint to the manager of the hotel who met me on the following day, June 19 prior, to our departure. I was falsely accused of making accusatory remarks about her employees and she did not even apologize. I was offered to view the video 14 hours after my request. I refused then and told her it was no longer necessary. I left the hotel with no reimbursement nor an apology from the manager. I have never had this experience before and its so unfortunate that this put a damp in my spirit. I will not recommend this hotel to my sisters who will be visiting Athens in September 2019.I have written a formal complaint to the tour operator and hope that a resolution will be reached. Customers service excellence is of utmost importance in an industry that offers services to large and diversified groups of people. I hope this will never happen to anyone. Thank you for this opportunity to submit a review.
