WALKING THE AMALFI COAST

My first foreign holiday for many years. Also travelled solo for first time. Should not have worried as all went very well and enjoyed a fantastic well run holiday. Planning the next one!!

Most Inspirational Moment

How to decide? The challenge of a completely new experience, the fantastic views, the insight into the past in Pompeii and the realisation that even the rain did not dampen my enjoyment and achievement.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Christine was friendly, organised, professional and a very considerate leader. She made the experience enjoyable for all and is obviously very popular with the locals

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't be afraid to travel solo;the trip notes are very helpful and so is a walking pole on some of the slopes and steps.

WALKING THE AMALFI COAST

An excellent trip that completely fulfilled my expectations and this despite very mixed and cold weather for March. Hotel Due Torri was clean, comfortable and offered excellent food; the staff were superb.

Most Inspirational Moment

The 'Walk of the Gods' was spectacular and lived up to its reputation.The walk into the Valle delle Ferriere was superb, full of interest and history culminating in a magnificent waterfall.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Christine Rooney was an excellent leader in every respect; knowledgeable, caring and someone in whom you had total confidence that all would be well throughout the trip. She was at all times appreciative of the group's abilities/interests and made appropriate adjustments according to individual need.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I would endorse the advice from Exodus to take walking poles, useful in my case for some of the long descents and numerous steps.March can be very varied in terms of weather. We experienced snowfall and hailstorms. Be prepared regarding layers and suitability of clothes.

WALKING THE AMALFI COAST

This trip offers the perfect combination of walking, beautifuly scenery, heritage and sightseeing! The beautiful views of the Amalfi coastline, the charming and elegant atmosphere of Amalfi and Positano, the superbly cooked food of Hotel Le Due Torri are all highlights of this tour. Overall, the complete and various itinerary Exodus offers truly reveals the essence of Italy and of its natural, historic and culinary treasures! Not to be missed!

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking through the ruins of Pompeii felt like talking a trip back to the ancient and elegant Roman era: A truly inspirational moment followed by an exciting walk along the crater of Mount Vesuvius. The beauty of the sleeping (yet active) volcano is something that I haven't forgotten!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Christine's knolwedge of the local area was impressive... her passion and expertise contributed to make trip a very enjoyable experience for evryone. Her attention to detail, humour and positive and calm attitude make her a perfect group leader!

Advice for Potential Travellers

The terrain can be quite difficult in some of the walks. Walking poles can be helpful is some cases! Although other members of the group found some of the walks quite challenging, I believe they were all perfectly achievable with a minimun level of fitness. The pace is leisurely and lots of breaks are taken so the less fit walkers shouldn't worry!

WALKING THE AMALFI COAST

A really fabulous week in a beautiful part of Italy, walking every day along the stunning Amalfi coastline with a lovely group of people.  I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a holiday!

Most Inspirational Moment

We were so lucky to have such a sunny week in February, so the views were terrific each day.  Our visit to Pompeii was incredibly interesting and this was followed in the afternoon by a trip up the snow-capped Mount Vesuvius. Perhaps the best moment of the week was when we arrived at the beautiful waterfalls during our long walk through the forest and down the very steep hillsides en route to the little town of Amalfi.  The waterfalls were breathtaking and we could have stayed there all day!!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our guide Christine was superb! She was absolutely lovely all week, very jolly and chatty and she took every opportunity to show us maps of the area and keep us informed about all aspects of the Amalfi Coast.  Her local knowledge was incredible and she really looked after us brilliantly at all times.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared to have lots of fun and don't forget your camera. Go with a huge appetite, the food at the hotel is amazing and the local red wine goes down a treat! Make sure you have good walking boots as there are long walks up and downhill every day and lots of steps.

WALKING THE AMALFI COAST

Our first time walking abroad in a group ,but we needn,t have been apprehensive as it worked out fine.

Most Inspirational Moment

Without doubt the trip to Vesuvious and walk round crater,awesome! The walk down to Amalfi through the woods was the highlight of the varied walks.Also,even in the off season Amalfi, Ravenelo and Positano were busy without being crowded,( Except the 5.30pmBus up to Bomerano from Amalfi-always packed!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Albert was great,so laid back he was almost horizontal ! But ensured we were all sorted on our day off etc.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go for it,we were a mix of couples,male singles and female singles and it gelled well. We were incredablylucky with weather,sunshine every day and just rain twice overnight,but be warned if sun not shining its chilly!Local Sieta buses are easy to use so if you want to explore,just remember to have your ticket before boarding.

WALKING THE AMALFI COAST

Stunning scenery and some lovely walks.  Do be wary if you’re doing this holiday because its rated Easy/Moderate.  If you’re very unfit  or not walked before you will struggle (as some of our group did).  Only slight criticism were that we were based in one hotel so you have dinner there every night and the food was of a lower quality than if you were eating a la carte.  Pretty bog standard fare and you expect better when in Italy.

Most Inspirational Moment

Swimming in the Amalfi Sea after a long day's hike down to beautiful Positano

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you're unfit or never walked before don't think this trip will be easy.

WALKING THE AMALFI COAST

Hotel clean and comfortable, plenty of hearty filling food. Excellent tour leader – Christine – searched out imaginative little treats for us. Bomerano a bit too far off the beaten track though & not much atmosphere in either hotel or village, so evenings rather dull.  Would go again for the walks, but probably not in November!  

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting Herculaneum

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very good. Brilliantly organised and well-informed, while appearing very low-key and relaxed. 

Advice for Potential Travellers

November may not be the best month to go.

WALKING THE AMALFI COAST

The whole holiday was an excellent experience. The hotel was fabulous from the friendliness of the staff to the quality the food. The walks were fantastic with stunning scenery and always with the reward of a thirst quenching lemon soda at wonderful family run cafes at the end. The holiday ran so smoothly. this was due mainly because of the professionalism of the leader who had a wealth of local knowledge and great relationships with the owners of the local establishments we visited.

Most Inspirational Moment

The scenery is stunning. The walk to the summit of Vesuvius makes you appreciate the power of nature. If you get the opportunity to visit Herculaneum, take it. It is much more awe inspiring than Pompeii.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Brilliant

WALKING THE AMALFI COAST

I thought visiting Pompeii and Capri would be the highlight of the trip but for me it was the great walks. I felt hugely fitter after the week’s worth of walks and would have been happy to book another the following week but alas I was out of holiday leave.

Most Inspirational Moment

The best walk was down through the Ferriere National Park to Amalfi, through Autumnal Hobbit forest, magical waterfalls and lemon groves.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jo Payne was a great leader. Her judgment was spot on for the situation. On some of the tricky sections of the walk involving ledges she managed the risky situation very well and was supportive to members of the group, particularly those that suffered from vertigo. At all times however it felt like she was just your mate on holiday with you which is a bit of a trick. She possibly been the best tour leader I have come across with Exodus and I've been on a few of your holidays.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Walking poles would be a great help on this trip as there are a great many steps down from Bomerano to Amalfi and mitigate some of the stress on your knees.

WALKING THE AMALFI COAST

If you are expecting a fantastic scenery and lovely people, this trip is a ‘must have’. In addition to breath taking natural beauty of the Path of Gods, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Vesuvius are ancient and geological sites to see. Pretty villages along the coastal path are great hosts for a quick ice cream break or for a romantic dinner. If you are tired of walking it is easy to find a beach nearby. Perhaps a cliché but Ravello and Capri would be good destinations at your free time. So if you have lots of lemons in your life, perfect trip to learn how to do ‘limoncello’.    

Most Inspirational Moment

I enjoyed every bit of it, so I cannot decide what was the most inspirational moment.   

Thoughts on Group Leader

We stayed at Agerola , Hotel Ztorri. Our group leader was Eduardo; he is a great personality with a professional work ethic. His human centric approach to make life easier for all in the group was unique. He coordinated our schedule to allow us to see Regatta at Amalfi, it is a rare event to come cross. We had two persons in the group suffering from long term physical injuries, when the thunderstorm caught us, he did not hesitate to use his personal contacts to arrange a carrier for the group. It was a school bus with tiny seats; it made us all smile when it arrived. His local knowledge was very good.     

Advice for Potential Travellers

I recommend the trip for any potential travellers in all ages
