Top Travel Deals in Indochina

My first trip with explore after being introduced to it by a couple of colleagues. A great trip fitting in a lot of Morocco into the 9 days so quite fast paced and a lot of travelling but this is mentioned in the trip notes and expected due to the amount of the country you cover in the 9 days.. Nabil our tour leader was excellent, very knowledgable and made the trip very enjoyable especially the long bus journeys..

This trip is fab for those that like being at sea, chilling out with like minded people, eating great food and most importantly getting in the water to explore the underwater world. Explore know how to put together a great itinerary which looks after the environment and benefits the local community

Itinerary was great and this was the main reason we chose this trip and Sri Lanka has fantastic sites and culture to experience - unfortunately we counted on having an appropriate guide and tour director who could assist with making the most of the experience - unfortunately our guide was not fluent in English, could not answer questions or explain the sites, culture and history in any meaningful way and we were forced to communicate critical aspects of the itinerary with him on whatsap, initiated by us not the tour director - the worst tour director I have had in nearly 45 years of travel and over 50 tours

This was an amazing trip. We packed a lot in to 2wks. Cities, mosques, kasbahs, medinas, countryside, desert camping (including camels!), mountain villages, hikes, a fishing port. Oh, and some shopping! There were some long travel days, but they didn't feel long... the bus was comfortable (and our driver Hassan was excellent!), with frequent stops for sights / loo breaks. Also, the scenery was interesting. Our guide Mohamed was superb, one of the best we've ever had (and we've been lucky with Exodus to always have excellent guides, so the standard is high). One example... We had an unexpected issue with the bus on about day 3 which wasn't fixable locally, and we all assumed the itinerary for that day might need to change, or at least that we'd be delayed for a while. But thanks to Mohamed's organisational skills, enough taxis turned up within 20mins to take us all on to our next scheduled stop, with Mohamed following once he'd sorted a replacement bus.

It was a fantastic itinerary, particularly because of the flexibility to join optional outings or take an extra day to explore on your own after you have seen the primary sights. We like to explore on our own but also appreciated that the tour took care of the details for the big attractions that we did not want to miss like the Vatican and colosseum. We also appreciated the warmth wit and knowledge of our guides.

This trip was unforgettable! Many people choose to do the Annapurna Circuit on their own and they mainly follow the Jeep track, which didn’t appeal to us. We were so happy and grateful that we decided to go with Exodus - we had the best guides! Sukman and his assistant guides Dipendra and Lakpa Sherpa were fantastic. We had knock knock tea in the mornings - loved that part, and followed a mix of alternate trails (that weren't well known) with certain sections along the main Jeep track. On those quieter trails, we rarely encountered other trekkers and definitely no other tour groups. We did pass herds of goats and met local people. We only saw other people along the main jeep track. Two days before reaching Thorong La Pass, we had heavy snow. Thanks to Sukman’s expertise, he made the difficult decision to backtrack immediately. Many trekkers without guides, or those who chose to wait out the storm, ended up stranded at high camp and had to be rescued. We were fortunate to make it safely off the mountain in time, though it meant rerouting the second half of our trip. Even with the detour - we thoroughly this trip thanks to the amazing team. The porters were also incredible companions. Without them, carrying all of our belongings for three weeks would have been tough!!
