I had my doubts about doing an organised trip, but my recent Exodus experience really did change my view! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

This was my first Trutravels, and group tour experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide and group of people to have spent the past 10 days with! I’ve made friends for life with some of the girls and we all agreed that our hearts felt very full at the end of the 10 day…If anything I wished the tour was longer! Our guide Jose was a brilliant group leader and went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great trip, he was very friendly, fun, and such a genuinely nice guy and you could tell how much he loved Costa Rica as his hometown. He made himself available 24/7 for us all and nothing was too much of an ask!

I was primarily interested in the Inka Trail and Machu Pichu but the rain forest and Lake Titicaca were brilliant. Three holidays in one.

A fantastic cycling trip to the Lake District of Chile and Argentina. An expertly organized adventure, with fantastic bike rides and breathtaking scenery. A 'must do' trip - between my wife and I, we have done over 12 Exodus cycling holidays and this one rates as the best. A well thought out route, professionally managed and a never to be forgotten experience. A special thanks go to the local operator of BikeWay and Marcello, with guides Taiel and Jero, who all made this tip so memorable

I had not been on holiday for over a decade before I embarked on this trip, so suffice to say I had high expectations! Costa Rica had been on my list ever since a colleague visited the country two years ago, and it was well worth the wait. We were fortunate enough to only have eight travellers, which meant that our guide, Jonathan, had ample time to answer all of our questions. If you are looking for a holiday which will give you eight hours of sleep a night then this trip is not for you. We were up for breakfast before 8am every day and despite there being several optional extra activities listed on the trip notes, we didn't have time to do any of them as we were constantly on the go! I felt as though I was away for six months or more, and I enjoyed moving to a new area of the country every few days. Each hotel we stayed at had a different style suited to the area of the country we were in - rainforest lodge, spa resort, mountain hotel, ranch, beach hotel. The food was wonderful - all breakfasts are included and on the days when our lunch and/or dinner weren't included, we never felt hungry.
