What's Exodus Adventure Travels like?
With more than 50 years in the industry, Exodus Adventure Travels hosts 500 itineraries across 90 countries and still manages to thoroughly impress. Over the years, it has built a loyal customer base, as many readers said that they’d travelled with Exodus many times before. It received a strong 82% customer score, which placed it fifth in our table of 25 escorted tour providers.
Exodus received a perfect five-star rating for its overall escorted tour experience. Several readers mentioned that part of the reason for this was its small group policy, making the holidays more personal.
Another reason is the ‘great’ local guides Exodus uses, who received praise from dozens of customers in their responses. One told us the guides ‘were knowledgeable and knew the area well’ with a ‘well-planned itinerary’.
At £180pp per night on average on short-haul trips, it’s by no means the cheapest escorted-tour provider in our table. However, readers clearly felt the price was worth it, illustrated by a good four-star rating for value for money.
Readers were also impressed with the company's eco-credentials. Exodus suggests low-carbon alternatives where possible, such as the option to swap planes for trains on many of its European trips.
If there’s a negative, it’s probably the three-star rating for accommodation, but many customers told us they felt this was more to do with the types of tour they had chosen, and that they weren’t expecting luxury. One told us: ‘A comfortable bed is all I want and Exodus always provides that.’
