Patagonia Active outdoor Trips

The hikes were excellent- beautiful views, varied terrain, and not too challenging. Our guide was the perfect balance of being informative with history, nature and culture without it feeling like school. Our guide was also excellent at managing group dynamics and meeting everyone’s needs. Lunches are picnics of French bread, local hams and cheeses w fruit- perfect for practicality and nutrition. Our guide made sure to accommodate the vegetarians in the group. The hotel was appropriate for the value, and it was very nice not having to chance locations throughout the week. Do be aware, it is a 3 star hotel, so if you like something more premium it may not be a fit. But the hotel was very clean and good food.

I loved the hikes on this trip, especially the gorge walk and the hike on day 6. Really enjoyed the week in the mountains with our group and spending the week in Arenas de Cabrales. Most hikes we did not see anyone so it was nice feeling we had the trails to ourselves. The gorge walk is very popular so there are other hikers, but it is a long walk so did not feel crowded. Really impressed with the hikes on the itinerary. I feel I could not do these hikes on my own and find some of these trails so being with an experienced guide with Exodus was the way to go.

Although the weather was challenging (very hot) our leader and our mountain guide made the most of the available alternatives. Our leader Gabi was sociable, extremely knowledgeable and always ready with a suggestion for activities or restaurants. The Penny Grand spa hotel was truly superb and I took the opportunity to have a foot and leg massage - heavenly!

This was a brilliant tour in every respect. Hery was one of the best trip leaders I've ever had. And the places we went and the things I saw made this a truly memorable trip of a lifetime. That said, it's not for everyone. Long days on bad roads were grueling, and some of the lodging was basic. But these things should not dissuade anyone from visiting this fascinating and beautiful country.

A taste of Italy is an excellent tour. The food is delicious, the walking is enjoyable , the company fun and the tour keader, Massimo went above and beyond to ensure we all had a great time. i went on the last trip in June and the weather, at times, was a bit too hot for walking but it also poured with rain one day. The hotels were very good, especially in Matera. I enjoyed all of the varied things we saw and did and would happily recommend it.

It was a nice balance of travel and exploration, having a couple of days in Franz Josef Glacier and Queenstown was fabulous while also exploring lots of Te Waipounamu. Our guide was really passionate about Aotearoa New Zealand and shared her love beautifully. She also managed all our free time add-on activities so smoothly. The coach was comfortable, clean, and expertly driven on some wild roads! The accommodation was clean and well located, though a kettle would have been nice in Queenstown lol.
