A personal journey into the unknown became a truly memorable experience. My first trip with this tour company into a country I didn't know and with people I didn't know. With the wisdom of restrospect, I possibly should have known that such a venture would bring together like minds - adventure seeking, fun-loving, witty, sociable, interesting lives - yes, all of these. I was so lucky to be thrown into this group of people and they made it for me.
This is a well organised trip - as is always the case with Exodus everything worked, all the arrangements were good and the guide excellent. Also, the trip notes manage expectations around the trekking, hotels and food really well - the experience will be as promised - including the chicken's feet!
We enjoyed our experience in China and came home with a better understanding of the Chinese people and culture. Unfortunately, when we continued our trip to Hong Kong we discovered that someone had taken most of our Hong Kong money (equivalent to $500 Canadian). We keep these funds locked in safe deposit boxes, so not sure how this could have happened. We would like others who go on this trip to keep any cash with them at all times.
