WALX groups love to plan trips where they can mix their love of walking with the culture, food and landscapes of stunning destinations. That’s why we teamed up with EXODUS who have been at the forefront of safe, guided walking and trekking excursions for 45 years to give WALXERS a lovely discount – see code below!

We wanted to take the strain away from our WALX Masters so they could enjoy the experience with the groups rather than be responsible for keeping them safe, planning routes and dealing with travel, accommodation and insurance.

EXODUS do it all brilliantly and offer group bespoke holidays or places on their regular trips to some of the worlds most ‘must walk’ regions of the world. If you have always wanted to walk the Inca trail or trek up Kilimanjaro, they can help you – but what they also do better than any other holiday company is a range of relaxing holidays where they mix walking with other activities and rest days too.

Another reason we have partnered with them is that like WALX, they are committed to protecting the planet and are a ‘Nature First’ operator that contributes to re-wilding projects for every guest that travels. They are award winners too with a gold from Wanderlust magazine.

Their destinations vary from the Amalfi Coast and the Loire Valley to Yellowstone Park or the Kumano Kudo pilgrimage route in  Japan. There are tougher treks in Nepal or the Mont Blanc to Matterhorn route but many are at a lower intensity with plenty of rest and times to stop and stare.

You can clearly see both the daily distance and intensity so there are no nasty surprises once you set off!

One of the most popular trips with our groups is the Prosecco Hills and Secret Venice experience ( unsurprisingly!) We have had great reviews and one group who did it last year have just returned from their second trip to Italy – this time opting for Puglia as shown in the pictures of this feature.

Sue from the group told us …

Booking a trip for our WALX  Hampstead group with Exodus worked really well.  Our recent trip to Puglia and Matera is the third we have made with the company and it fully lived up to our expectations.  Exodus staff were really helpful at all stages of the process.  Our guide who led our trip was excellent – very  knowledgeable and really caring for all members of the group, ensuring everyone had a really enjoyable time.   As well as walking in a variety of locations we were also able to get a feel for the history and culture of this beautiful part of Italy.   We are now looking forward to planning for 2025!
