US based Exodus Travels is one of the largest adventure companies in the world. You may also recognize their sister company Headwater, which offers the same self-guided itineraries. Among their many offerings, Exodus provides self-guided inn to inn hiking and center-based walking vacations in Europe, the Caribbean and the UK. For guided trips, you can pick from pretty much any country in the world. Their catalog is enormous and they offer something in every price range.
Review of Exodus Travels Website
Exodus Travels makes it easy to search through their huge selection, providing an easy to navigate site and excellent search filters. You can search for specific interests (of which there are many), walking types, walking levels, age ranges, and more. Itinerary and lodging details aren’t consistent because it depends on the local tour operator. Exodus is the middle-man for most of these trips so you will pay more but that upcharge has some perks.
Things to like about Exodus Travels
- Consistent 5-star reviews on TravelStride and 48+ years in business
- Easy to find trips for very specific interests (vegetarian, solo, snowshoeing, etc)
- Excellent choice for expeditionary trips in remote locations
- Offers airfare booking and car rental packages
Note about Large Tour Companies
While we love and support large walking holiday companies because they make searching a breeze, we will always encourage you to try and book directly with local tour operators. They are the ones operating your trip at the ground level and booking directly with them keeps more money at the local level and gives you a more customized experience. Use our search tool on the home page and filter by Special Category–Local Choice or Company Type–Local Operator to find these hidden gems.
