We arrived in Poland as they were being flooded with heavy rainfall. This meant some minor tweaks to our itinerary however our guide, Justyna, was fabulous and took great care of us. Justyna has a deep knowledge and boundless enthusiasm and love for your country and it's people and you share that with gusto.
Krakow is a fabulous city to explore on foot and the mountains have different characters within the Carpathian range. Highlights were the walk/scramble up Kościelec (a neighbouring mountain from the itinerary!) and the view from Trzy Korony (3 Crowns). Great walking, food and drink if you're an omnivore. I don't think Poland is vegan friendly yet however is okay for a veggie if you don't mind eating your body weight in cheese in a week.
Polish history is long, complex and not all happy and harmonious however it is well worth a visit to learn and understand more.

Fast paced but we love that we get to see so much. Wouldn’t have been able to see a quarter of what we saw trying to coordinate a trip like this ourselves. We are already planning our third tour to book.
Just returned from an amazing 11-day trip through Greece, Turkey, and Egypt! Cruising the Saronic Gulf, exploring the Pyramids and Egyptian Museum, and experiencing the magic of Istanbul's Bosphorus were definite highlights. The hotels were great, the itinerary flowed well, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommended for an unforgettable adventure.

The tour operator provided a trip at a reasonable cost, superior accommodation and an itinerary true to it's advertised version. Any questions I had prior to the trip were readily answered and customer service was speedy while on the vacation. I will highly recommend this operator for trips to Spain.
Good introductory cross-section in major cities. Good balance of scheduled vs. free time. Would like a little more emphasis on art--especially Uffizi Gallery and Pisan Camposanto--plus entry into St. Mark's/Doge's Palace and Duomo church (rather than some of the shopping stuff). A little too much commercial, too little history/art. (Some of guides under-informed, including one who said Galileo discovered the "two planets" around Jupiter!).

Our group Explore Leader, Filip Kolic, is highly professional in ensuring our trip is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. He's quick in problem-solving and forward thinking for example he's on top of organising alternative transport back-to-back for our group when early news of regional floodings and landslides had caused disruptions of the railway and road connections to our next destination. Great job there as we were able to reach our next city to continue our planned guided city tour, although quite short. We managed to celebrate our trial & tribulation at a lovely quick dinner next to our hotel! All went well with extra National Park sceneries and travel experiences!

Excellent trip - absolutely stunning views, and the tracks were mostly clear, it felt like we’re were the only ones there. The guide was excellent, very well organised and it was a very rewarding trip all round.

Iceland is a beautiful country, even if it was a little chilly. We enjoyed the thermal pools and saw many awesome waterfalls. Staying at the same hotel for four nights was nice, we did not have to pack up and change hotels everyday.

We booked a day trip around Barcelona and Montserrat with a driver - Marta, and it was perfect.
Matra was amazing with local knowledge and communication during our trip, she was a great communicator, fun, kind, respectful and helpful and went above and beyond with every detail and we loved our time with Marta - making our day in Barcelona better than we could have hoped for.
We would gladly highly recommend Marta and this trip to anyone.

Venabu is a great addition to the Exodus brochure. Good range of skiing, great leaders, effective instruction, very good hotel. This would also be a good base for some overnught(s) in the huts that are within reach. A must do trip!
