I had excellent overall experience on this tour. The travellers were all friendly and welcoming (important to me as a solo traveller) and the Tour CEO was excellent in every way. Rui Lima is the 'gold standard' of Tour CEOs! I would highly recommend this tour to friends and family.

I've been to Portugal before, and was looking forward to experiencing another aspect of this country. This was my first trip with Exodus, and it was very impressive, start to finish. The daily outings, meals together, hotel choices, etc. were A+. Each island was unique and physically beautiful. The walks took us to places off the beaten path, which was exactly why I selected this trip.

Explore is getting worse and worse regarding customer service. If it wasn't for trips offered and mostly excellent tour leaders, would never recommend to friends. One option to better relationship would be to refund single supplement to anyone who is obviously not going to be paired off on a tour where all couples or different sex. Explore should be more considerate considering the profit margin on solo travel.

For such a small place (only twice the size of the Isle of Wight), there's lots to do and see in Madeira, and with their new fast road network everywhere is easily accessible. Being a bit of an artist myself I particularly enjoyed seeing where Sir Winston Churchill did his painting in the 1950's, and having the experience of afternoon tea at the hotel he and other notables stayed when visiting the island. The Tropical garden of Monte is a must see in my opinion and finally you'll really enjoy the boat trip out to see the local sealife. We got to see dophins and pilot whales. Overall you'll definitely come back with many memories to treasure.
