Itinerary

Expand All

Day 1 : Start Las Vegas.

Location: Las Vegas

Accommodation: Hotel

Accommodation Name: Bally's Las Vegas Hotel & Casino (or similar)

Welcome to the 'Neon City' in the Nevada desert, a place everyone should
experience at least once in their life. The opportunities here are endless
and you'll have a full day to explore, so why not try your luck on the
tables, see one of the many world-class shows or sample an all-American
buffet? Join us at 18:00 hrs for a welcome meeting with your group and tour
leader. Afterwards you're free to take in the cityscape at night or wander
along The Strip.

*Optional Activities: *
Helicopter flight US$104

Day 2 : Las Vegas To Zion National Park.

Location: Las Vegas, Zion National Park

Accommodation: Hotel

Accommodation Name: La Quinta Inn & Suites (or similar)

Zion effortlessly mixes peaceful beauty with powerful landscapes and the tree
lined Virgin River supports fragile flora and fauna as it meanders below
massive, cathedral-like sandstone walls. Zion Canyon was named by the early
Mormon settlers of Utah who thought of it as their 'promised land' and it
offers some of the best hiking in the Southwest USA. 

Day 3 : Zion National Park.

Location: Zion National Park

Accommodation: Hotel

Accommodation Name: La Quinta Inn & Suites (or similar)

Meals Included: Breakfast

You have a full day to further explore the delights of Zion National Park.
There are various hikes to choose from, ranging from easy to strenuous. Of
all the walks within the park, one you simply must do is the famous and
challenging hike to Angels Landing. Once you've conquered this epic trail
you'll be greeted with one of the most breathtaking panoramas you've ever
laid eyes on. For a less strenuous walk, take one of the short hikes from the
valley floor to view the Lower Emerald Pools then continue on to the
sparkling Upper Emerald Pools, passing a waterfall along the way to discover
Zion's 'beach'. Cool off from the summer sun by exploring the riverside walk
section of the Virgin River. If weather conditions permit, you may choose to
hike deep into the Zion Narrows. Staying dry is not an option as you wade
through the Virgin River between towering walls. The cool waters and the
shadow of the canyon can provide a much-needed respite from the scorching
sun. 

Day 4 : Bryce Canyon National Park.

Location: Bryce Canyon National Park

Accommodation: Hotel

Accommodation Name: Best Western Plus Ruby's Inn (or similar)

Meals Included: Breakfast

Leaving Zion National Park, you climb in elevation to almost 8,296 feet and
traverse a high plateau to Bryce Canyon National Park. "Mysterious",
"breathtaking" and "out of this world" are just a few of the descriptions
offered by past visitors to describe this fascinating natural amphitheatre of
pink, orange and white sandstone spires, known locally as hoodoos.

There are a variety of scenic overlooks and trails that range from easy to
moderate in difficulty. The Navajo or Peek-a-Boo Loop trails will enable you
to hike right in amongst these unique rock formations. Wherever you walk,
you'll encounter a kaleidoscope of colours and a fantasy land of rock spires
that'll leave you mesmerised. For the photographers, you may prefer to remain
on the rim and photograph the ever-changing shadows and hues as the sun makes
its way across the wide-open sky. These are the picture-perfect moments
you've been waiting for. 

*Optional Activities: *
Western horseback riding US$65-$90

Day 5 : Monument Valley.

Location: Glen Canyon, Oljato-Monument Valley

Accommodation: Hotel

Accommodation Name: Kayenta Monument Valley Inn (or similar) 

Today you travel southeast along the border of Utah and Arizona and make a
stop at the immense Glen Canyon Dam en route to Monument Valley in the heart
of the Navajo Nation. This is sacred land to those who call it home and the
red sandstone monoliths and spectacular sunsets and sunrises have been the
backdrop to countless Westerns. Explore the incredible array of rock
formations on an included guided back roads tour to learn the magic and myth
of the rich Native American culture. 

Day 6 - 7 : Grand Canyon National Park.

Location: Grand Canyon National Park

Accommodation: Hotel

Accommodation Name: Holiday Inn Express - Tusayan (or similar)

Continue south through the Navajo Reservation to the Cameron Trading Post to
shop for local jewellery, crafts and cultural souvenirs. Traverse the eastern
entrance of the mighty Grand Canyon where you'll catch your first glimpse of
it at Desert View. This incredible spectacle is difficult to comprehend, even
as you stand at the rim or hike down into the canyon. Carved over several
millennia, this massive wonder of nature is 277 miles (445km) long, up to 18
miles (29km) wide and over one mile (1.6km) deep. Snaking through the canyon
floor is the mighty Colorado River, which runs 1450 miles (2330 km) through
seven US states and two Mexican states.

In your free time, we highly recommend a scenic helicopter flight over the
canyon, offering perspectives you simply can't see by just visiting on foot.
Alternatively, stroll the easy meandering South Rim Trail, hike your way down
the more challenging trail to Plateau Point, or simply relax at the canyon's
edge and enjoy a spectacular sunset over one of the world's most fantastic
natural wonders. 

*Optional Activities:*
Helicopter flight US$289 

Day 8 : Route 66 - Las Vegas.

Location: Las Vegas, Seligman

From the epic Grand Canyon, you'll travel onto Seligman, where you'll stop
for an optional lunch at the Snow Cap Diner along a section of the iconic
Route 66. Prepare to be dazzled all over again by the bright lights of Las
Vegas - a memorable end to a fantastic eight days!

This tour ends at our gateway hotel at approximately 17:00 hrs. We recommend
booking post-tour accommodation if time allows. If you are planning to fly
tonight, please do not book a flight that departs before 21:00 hrs.

Very helpful and prompt service

06-Jan-2023

Very helpful and prompt service. I called to check for an already booked trip and once we sorted this, the agent was ready to help me with another booking as well. He actually waited for me to book my flight tickets, answered all my questions, informed me of all my options. Exodus is a tour company I am using regularly due to the quality of their trips, ease of booking and helpfulness of their customer service team

Stunning walking. Walking the Amalfi Coast

04-Nov-2021

This trip takes you through the most beautiful parts of the Mediterranean walking with a guide and also discovering the wonders of Pompeii and Vesuvius. The hotel had a nice feel as family run, spotless and comfortable rooms, we were well looked after for breakfasts and dinner each day, and the barmen fixed some mean cocktails for us.!

It's amazing what you can do in a week! Cycling the Dalmatian Coast.

08-Oct-2021

This holiday was extremely enjoyable. The itinerary is well planned and the route takes you to a variety of destinations. Not having been to Croatia before I didn't know there were so many beautiful small islands and I loved the ferry and catarmaran rides. The coastal route we took was dramatic and the World Heritage sites in Split and Dubrovnik very interesting and worth visiting. The Adriatic Sea was warm, blue and inviting, good for swimming even in October. The hotels we stayed in varied in size from medium to large. I particularly liked the one just outside Dubrovnik as I had a sea view. Tourists were plentiful in Split and Dubrovnik but in the other places we stayed there was an end of season feel and it was quiet on the roads and in the resorts. The food was good and our guide was always able to recommend a nice restaurant for our evening meal. The weather in October was good for cycling - not hot, partly cloudy most days and one day it rained!

Fabulous company and trip

06-Jan-2023

We went overland from Cape Town to Zimbabwe through Botswana and Namibia. What a fantastic trip. Our first time with Exodus although we have travelled extensively around the world. We would highly recommend this company for such a brilliant trip - we got everything and more all at a good price. Thanks to everyone involved. We are looking at our next trip!

08-Oct-2024

We had a week walking and wine in the Duro valley with two local guides Louis and Theresa. They were both exceptional, knowledgeable, professional and funny. Our group of 11 had a great time. This was a premium tour. Our 4 star hotels were both well located clean and with great views. We had several local meals arranged by our guides with local people cooking for us. We did not meet any other walkers during our hikes only two shepherds. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the local produce and wine. We both felt as we had learnt a lot about Portugal during this tour. We will use Exodus again. One of our group had done 30 tours with Exodus over the years. Quite an endorsement.

17-May-2023

I've done 8 trips in the last 14 years with Exodus, and have been rewarded with a 10% discount on all future bookings. I feel very confident that I'll receive pleasant, efficient service, and have the unusual holiday experience that I'm looking for each time. I've trekked to the top of snow-capped peaks, wild-camped in the desert, seen amazing spectacles of nature, visited 4 capital cities in a week, and learned about local culture and experienced local hospitality in a way that I simply wouldn't on a conventional holiday. The quality of the accommodation and guides can vary, but this is mainly down to cultural differences and things that Exodus can't control. I've only ever complained once, my complaint was taken seriously, and I was sent a discount voucher - you can't say fairer than that. I remain a loyal customer.

21-Aug-2024

Exodus are generally a good travel company. Things tend to run smoothly and trips well organised. Their customers tend to be at retirement age. Trips are a bit overpriced. I would also avoid trips in Europe, as these often focus on more coffee stops and meals, rather than walking. I would also recommend making sure your guide records any accidents you have, hopefully not applicable. I had one on Sierra de Aitana which the guide saw and knew about, but he and Exodus said it never happened when I followed up after the trip. I wasn’t putting in a claim, just suggested a safety improvement. They have since apologised and acknowledged this as an error. They are a good reliable option for outside of Europe trips.

07-Mar-2024

Food came quickly. Staff very friendly and polite . However the chef or person preparing the food did not seem to read the menu! If it says a meal should come with vegetables, you should not have to ask for them. They served shepherds pie with garlic bread! The munchies ice cream sundae said it should come in a glass with a flake but came in a little bowl with just a few munchies! When asking the staff were happy to replace and correct but customer should get what they order and what menu says first time round!!

07-Sep-2023

If you like to be mistreated Exodus is perfect for you. If you enjoy terrible choices for hotels and pseudo restaurants Exodus is perfect for you. Careless about their clients and loveless about their propositions. Exodus has been a dissatisfaction and disappointment about every dealing i and my group have had with him. Especially a man called Simone who just cares about the money he can get from you couldn’t care less about service.
