Great hikes + comforts of home This was my first trip with Exodus, but it won't be my last. From the moment we pulled up to the chalet we were greeted by our hosts Zoe and Ben who immediately grabbed our stuff and showed us to our rooms and made us feel right at home. The Chalet Chocolat is very cozy and homey with a view out the back that never gets old. Our hikes were terrific, challenging but so worth it. Every day was different. The terrain, the scenery, the challenges... and the views. Our leader, Egle was great! Fun, sociable, knowledgeable and very organized. We very much enjoyed her leadership and had alot of laughs along the way. The food is amazing. Having cake waiting for you when you get back from a long day of trekking is even better than it sounds once you've done it. And these are real homemade cakes that are to die for. 3 course meals every night? So spoiled!
First off, the tour itself was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations. But we would mostly like to thank our tour leader Jemma for making the experience perfect. She explained everything and made sure the tour was a smooth ride for us which made getting to explore even better, really friendly and always offering help and advice. We got to do more than we could imagine, definitely value for money. Definitely fast paced but made up for by getting to see soooo much and lots of free time in places to explore on your own. Expat tour leaders (especially Jemma) make the experience. And shout out to Gabriel the driver for his driving skills. Will definitely recommend to everyone we know and will be back for more tours!
This trip was everything we expected plus more. The knowledge that our guide Adam had was impressive. He was well organized, informative, and friendly. And we didn't need to see how the other drivers were because we knew we had the best. Antonio was very professional and skillfull with navigating the narrow streets of Europe. We can't wait to book our next tour and we hope we can have the same guide and driver as they were both the very best at what they do.
