  Fantastic experience of the wild.True wilderness.Helpfull guides and crew members allowed us to explore the Svalbard coast from a n exploration ship-The Plancius. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? First sighting of a polar bear close up on the pack ice at 81Degrees 40' north. What did you think of your group leader? Very good.Experienced ,clear and keen to make every effort to show us the wilderness. Do you have any advice for potential travellers? Take plenty of warm outdoor cloathes including 2 pairs of waterproof trousers. Is there anything else you would like to add? Exceptional.Try to stay at The Radisson in Longyearbyr rather than any of the poorer accomodations prior to boarding the ship.Show more

  Walking the Fjords was fabulous, the scenery magnificent & our hosts Anders & Bård were exceptional. Our group had Bård as our guide he was informative & whilst walking he always would walk back & check on the slower walkers. The accomodation at both Nes Gard & Fjåerland Fjorstove Hotel was great. I loved the quaint little rooms with sloping attic style ceilings. Anders has converted rooms that perviously housed farm animals into an underground wine bar & a bathroom attached to the breakfast room. Both locations provided exceptional meals with quality wine to compliment the food. I cannot speak highly enough about this trip, it was a wonderful introduction to Norway !!!Show more

  Our group had a FANTASTIC time on our tour of the Amalfi coast with Exodus. Communication was great from the start, patiently answering our many questions, and they were very accommodating as we added more travelers to our group. Our guide, Veriano, was wonderful. Funny, informative, and set the perfect pace so we saw a lot without ever feeling rushed. I loved that he took factors into consideration like weather, the energy of the group, etc. in order to improve the experience, even if that meant changing up the itinerary a little bit. Which I'm sure was more work for him. The hotel was wonderful. (Don't let other reviews complaining about "long, drawn-out dinners dissuade you.) The food was wonderful. The staff was so attentive and helpful. The pasta and pizza-making demos were great fun. It was so nice to sit around the table as a group each night, recounting the day's adventures. Sure, dinner was "longer" than what we're used to. But that's the point. To relax, enjoy the food, savor it, and slow down a bit. I've never traveled with Exodus before, but you've earned a lifelong fan and will definitely be booking another tour with them in the future.Show more
