Your Guide To Cultural Discoveries 2023/2024

Our expertise. YOUR ADVENTURE.

Welcome to our collection of cultural discoveries for 2023/2024. I’m excited to share our 2023 line-up of incredible adventures with you. It comes as no surprise that demand for travel is the highest it’s been in years, prompted by those feelings and long-lasting memories travel brings, whether you’re looking to explore Buddhist temples and zen gardens, tuck into local street food delicacies in heady market squares, or watch a colourful procession unfold.

Do you ever find that your next adventure is calling out to you? I do. Earlier this year I was lucky enough to visit the Treasury at Petra on our Petra & Wadi Rum adventure. I don’t know who was more excited, me or my kids. Talking with our guide Muayad one evening in our desert camp, he reminded me that our guides bring so much more than expertise. They tell the stories and really make our award-winning itineraries come to life. So why not get inspired by browsing through our collection and see which trips spark your interest? There’s no better time than the present to start planning for that trip of a lifetime in 2023.

Leading the way in incredible adventures, run responsibly, we’re thrilled to extend our support to Rewilding Europe, so they can

create new wildlife corridors in Croatia’s Velebit Mountains in addition to our existing work in the Italian Apennines. And as always, our expert local guides are continuing to find new ways of supporting local businesses across our destination communities.

We’re also excited to include a new collection of Premium Adventures, which have all the quality of our highly-rated Exodus trips, but with the added extra of unique and premium accommodation in incredible places, and expert-named leaders. On our new cultural trips, you can put your culinary skills to the test with a local Vietnamese cooking class, explore the Valley of the Kings on a cruise in Egypt or visit the fascinating reed island of Uros in Peru.

Not only are our adventures rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot, but we’ve also been named as a Which? recommended provider for seven years running, so you can rest assured that you’re travelling with an award-winning tour operator you can trust.

So, begin your journey today and book an incredible and unique adventure with Exodus, Your Guide to the World.

ADVENTURE Inspiring

Since 1974

More than 40 years ago, we took a group of adventurers to the Minaret of Jam in the heart of Afghanistan on the back of our Bedford truck on a mission to see the world for ourselves. It was the first Exodus trip, a chance to venture into the unknown with fellow explorers, to meet people along the way who could share perspectives different to our own, and to see the diverse destinations that they called home.

Four decades on, our expert guides still look forward to welcoming you and your fellow explorers to discover

the world around us and have been working closely with our local partners to ensure our trips continue to offer a real spirit of adventure while travelling safely.

Since our first trip back in 1974, our passion for travel, culture and discovery has only grown. So too have the friendships forged with those that warmly welcome us. As we support local communities that we visit, we continue to immerse ourselves in the sights, sounds, tastes and experiences of their wonderful homelands. Come and see for yourself on an Exodus adventure.

Explore world wonders with Holger

Exodus Expert Tour Leader

Spotting Andean condors in Colca Canyon, visiting La Calera natural hot springs and tucking into fresh Ceviche near the port of Paracas, are just some of Holger’s favourite experiences on our Essential Peru adventure. But he said, “After two decades of guiding groups across South America, nothing compares to the moment when you catch that first glimpse of Machu Picchu. It’s a place I could visit over and over again. I like to be seen as that local friend you will always have here in Peru, and to show you one of the world’s wonders is an honour for me.” He continues,

“I like to be seen as that local friend you will always have here in Peru, and to show you one of the world’s wonders is an honour for me.”

“I also particularly enjoy the traditional homestay on Amantani Island in Lake Titicaca and the morning visit to the Uros Island, as it allows the group a unique opportunity to interact with the locals and indigenous Uros people and hear fascinating local legends, you simply wouldn’t get if you travelled on your own. On one of the last days, I like to take my group to the sunset viewpoint overlooking the Plaza de Armas in Arequipa. On clear days you get uninterrupted views of the Basilica Cathedral on the left and Mount Misti on the right.”

CULTURAL WONDERS

Visiting the world’s top wonders is incredible but there’s something to be said about the lesser-known cultural sites that are equally as captivating. So, we’ve listed some of our favourites that truly live up to the name, ‘hidden gems’.

1. EXPLORE TAKAYAMA, A TRADITIONAL OLD TOWN SET IN THE JAPANESE ALPS

The enchanting town of Takayama in central Honshū, Japan has remained largely unchanged by the passing of time. Firmly removed from the neon-bright lights and fast-paced lifestyle of Tokyo, Takayama’s Sanmachi Suji historic district is lined with intricate wooden merchants’ houses dating back to the Meiji and Edo Periods, while colourful shrines and traditional inns dot the hills. Plan your visit during Sakura season in spring or the Momiji-gari (‘red leaf hunting’) season in autumn for great photo opportunities.

2. VISIT UROS ISLAND, A MAN-MADE REED ISLAND ON LAKE TITICACA

Delving into rich cultures on the Essential Peru trip, you’ll enjoy a traditional homestay experience on Amanti Island in Lake Titicaca before taking a boat trip to the man-made reed island of Uros. During your visit, you’ll hear tales from the indigenous Uros people about how they construct the islands, in much the same way their ancestors did over 3,700 years ago, while gaining a fascinating insight into their unusual way of life. It’s a cultural experience not to be missed.

3. BE DAZZLED BY THE SUNYELLOW TOWN OF IZAMAL IN MEXICO

Our Mexico: Mayans, Aztecs & Conquistadors cultural trip has it all. After exploring the ancient city of Teotihuacan and the Mayan site of Palenque, you’ll visit the vibrant yellow town of Izamal. Its eye-catching Convento de San Antonio de Padua was built on top of a destroyed Maya temple. Not only is it one of the oldest Catholic Monasteries in the Americas, but its impressive outdoor atrium is the second largest in the world, after the Vatican!

4. WANDER ACROSS THE ANCIENT CITY OF GERASA IN JORDAN

Uncover the hidden treasures of Jordan on this adventure by spending time visiting the incredible ancient city of Gerasa in Jerash. One of Jordan’s largest and bestpreserved Roman sites, it’s a real feat of engineering. The 3,000-seat South Theatre built during the reign of Emperor Domitian and the North Theatre with its Nymphaeum fountain is well worth exploring. Behind Hadrian’s Arch, is the hippodrome, which once hosted chariot races in front of 15,000 spectators – you can even see visible chariot marks today!

Hidden Treasures of Jordan: EXODUS.CO.UK/AXE

5. TAKE A STEP BACK IN TIME AT CĒSIS CASTLE IN LATVIA

Enjoy exploring the traditional town of Cēsis on our Discover the Baltics trip. Known as the centre of arts and culture in Latvia, you’ll wander around the unique Cēsis Castle, which was once the headquarters of the Livonian Order. Built in 1214, it was still used as a vital stronghold as recently as 1919, during the Latvian War of Independence. The surrounding Guaja National Park, holds over 500 historical monuments to discover, including castle mounds, windmills, churches and manor houses.

KEY BOOKING INFORMATION

Having chosen the holiday you are interested in, below is some information which you may find useful in relation to your booking and holiday. Details correct at time of publication, please call or go online to check up-to-date booking conditions: www.exodus.co.uk/about-exodus/ exodus-booking-conditions

1. Refer to the Trip Notes

The Trip Notes form part of our contract with you and they contain the most up-to-date information about the holiday, including details about the itinerary, inclusions and exclusions. Please download and take the latest version of the Trip Notes with you on your holiday.

2. About the trip

Is this trip for you?

We aim to provide detailed and accurate information in our documentation so that clients can assess their own suitability and fitness for a specific trip. We ask that you satisfy yourself prior to booking that you are able to complete the itinerary as described in the Trip Notes. All our trips feature Activity Level icons as guides to the type of itinerary and the level of challenge the trip will involve. An explanation of each Activity Level can be found at www.exodus.co.uk/activitylevels . Please let your sales consultant know during the booking process if you have concerns or queries about any aspects of the itinerary.

Participation

We ask our clients to always abide by the authority of the tour leader. There is an agreement in place between Exodus and our tour leaders, allowing them to exclude any client from part or all of a trip if it unfortunately becomes apparent that they cannot manage particular elements of a trip or are likely to put either themselves or other people at risk. It is, however, not a decision that is reached lightly or that is made frequently.

Pre-existing medical conditions

We ask you to let us know of any pre-existing conditions, illnesses, disabilities or recent surgeries which may affect your safety or other people’s enjoyment of the holiday. Please email CustomerServices@exodus.co.uk to make us aware of any pre-existing medical conditions. Our Trip Notes provide information on whether a particular holiday is considered to be suitable for a person with reduced mobility. There is no upper age limit on our tours, but as most holidays are quite active, we may ask clients over the age of 80 a number of questions about their health and fitness. We also require you to advise us of any dietary requirements in advance of a tour.

Accommodation

Our prices are based on twin-share accommodation which means that if you book on your own, we will arrange for you to share with a person of the same gender as per the information given to Exodus at the time of booking. We ask you to satisfy yourself that you do not have any conditions or preferences which may preclude you from sharing a room, and that you speak to your sales consultant if you would like to enquire about a single supplement.

Key information to help you prepare

Important trip documentation will be provided during the booking process and prior to your holiday. If you have any queries or notice any inaccuracies, please contact Exodus as soon as possible.

We are able to provide basic advice to clients regarding passports, visa and entry requirements, but you should check with the appropriate embassy, consulate or the British Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office for the exact requirements for your chosen tour and date of travel. British nationals require a full passport which is valid for six months after the date of your scheduled return home. The Trip Notes for each holiday provide more detailed information on visa requirements.

We recommend that you contact your Medical Professional or a Travel Health Clinic for information about vaccinations or specific health risks in the area to which you are travelling. Please see the Practical Information section of the Trip Notes for information relating to vaccinations for your specific tour.

The Trip Notes also include information about packing suggestions and essential items that we recommend you bring on your holiday.

Risks of adventure travel

Whilst we ensure that all activities are operated to the local legal standard and that risk assessments are carried out annually, many of our holidays do carry an element of risk. On many of our tours, the areas are remote and events far less predictable than on a conventional holiday. Health, safety and operational standards, particularly of hotels and transport, are often not up to the levels we experience at home. We require that all the properties and transport we use comply fully with local regulations, but we do not guarantee the same standards as in your home country. If you choose to travel on this type of holiday, you must be prepared to accept that this is all part of the experience. Adverse weather conditions, political situations and a host of other uncontrollable factors can mean a change in itinerary. Outdoor activities are weather dependent to an extent and some can become dangerous in certain conditions. If the leader feels there is any heightened level of risk involved in an activity, they may amend or cancel it as they see fit. It is unlikely that an itinerary would be substantially altered, but if changes are necessary, we will make the best possible alternative arrangements which maintain the integrity of the original itinerary. We will do everything we can to minimise the effect, but we cannot be held responsible for the impact of changes outside our control.

Crime and other security risks exist in all countries and whilst travelling in a group is a safeguard, it is not a guarantee of safety. We will take all reasonable care of you and expect that you will take sensible precautions yourself.

3. Booking on a Flight Inclusive or Land Only Basis

Exodus holidays can be booked on a Land Only basis or with international flights. When booking on a Flight Inclusive basis, Exodus complies with our responsibilities under the ATOL regime. For all packages (Flight Inclusive or not) we comply with the Package Travel and Linked Travel Regulations 2018. In the event of a significant change to travel plans by an airline, we are responsible for ensuring that you can complete your journeys in a reasonable timeframe and without additional cost to yourself. Please see point 6 for more information on the Package Travel Regulations. Flight costs and supplements Flight Inclusive prices include return flights from a London airport and UK departure tax. Our Flight Inclusive trip prices include a base price for the flights, however this is always subject to availability at the time of booking as airfares are outside of our control. Where the cost of flights is higher than this base price, a flight supplement may be applicable; your sales consultant will be able to advise you if this is the case.

Transfers

If you are travelling on the designated group flights, return airport transfers may be included at the destination. If you are travelling on non-group flights, airport transfers may be at an additional cost unless shown in your documentation as a free or included transfer; please ask your sales consultant for transfer details during the booking process. If you book on a Land Only basis, services start and end at the local joining point detailed in your documentation.

4. How to book

If you would like to make a booking you can contact us in several ways: directly over the telephone (0203 993 9294), by email using Sales@exodus.co.uk , via our website www. exodus.co.uk and the Live Chat function on our website, or through an approved travel agent.

Travel insurance

Adequate and valid travel insurance for your chosen itinerary is compulsory for all travellers and it is a condition of accepting your booking that you agree you will have obtained adequate and valid travel insurance. We recommend you take out insurance as soon as your booking is confirmed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for UK travellers on a UK only domestic trip then adequate and valid travel insurance is not compulsory, but we strongly recommend you have cover in place (in particular cover for cancellation, property & personal belongings).

5. Payment, cancellations and changes

Unless stated otherwise during the booking process or in the full terms and conditions, the following applies:

Deposit

You will be asked to pay a deposit at the time of booking of at least 25% per person of your selected travel arrangements (minimum £300 per person or equivalent). You may also be required to pay on booking for any non-transferable and non-refundable items; your sales consultant will advise you of this during the booking process. Please note that for certain travel arrangements, including all Polar holidays, the deposit may be higher than those shown.

Final balance

We will invoice you for the remainder of the cost of your holiday, which must be paid prior to 90 days before departure. In certain cases, including Polar holidays, we may request full payment more than 90 days before departure where, for example, airlines require full payment on booking.

Making changes to your trip

Please contact Exodus as soon as possible if you wish to make a change to your existing booking, wish to change to a different tour or wish to change departure date. We will always endeavour to assist with the requested change, but this is subject to availability and payment may need to be made for non-refundable costs (for example from airlines) and other fees may also be applicable, including a £40 administration charge.

Cancellation conditions

You may cancel your tour at any time by providing written communication from the lead booker. As we start to incur costs from the time the contract is confirmed we will retain your deposit and will apply other cancellation charges as shown below. Please note, however, that for certain travel arrangements, including all Polar holidays, the cancellation charge may be higher than those shown; please ask your sales consultant for full details of cancellation charges at time of booking.

Full terms and conditions apply to your booking and can be found here: www.exodus.co.uk/about-exodus/exodusbooking-conditions

This link also includes information on our Privacy Policy and our Data Protection Commitment.

If we change or cancel your booking

We plan the arrangements for your tour many months in advance and may occasionally have to make changes, most of which are minor.

When a major change (as outlined in the full terms and conditions on our website) occurs, you will have the choice of either:

a) accepting the change; or

b) accepting a replacement tour from us of equivalent or similar standard and price (at the date of the change), if we are able to offer you one; or

c) cancelling your tour, in which case you shall receive a full refund of all monies paid.

Most of our trips are group holidays and require a certain number of participants to operate; we include details of normal group sizes in the Trip Notes and on our website. In the unlikely event that a trip does not reach the normal minimum, we may be forced to cancel the tour; a decision will be made as early as possible and not later than 20 days before departure. We reserve the right to confirm trips on numbers lower than

the minimum indicated and occasionally we may exceed the normal maximum. If at the time of booking your trip is not guaranteed, we strongly recommend that you do not make any non-refundable or non-changeable travel arrangements.

7. Your financial protection

ATBA protection
