Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the summit of Mt Vesuvius at the second attempt (thunderstorms prevented it on our scheduled visit) with our excellent guide Stefano. All the walks were very satisfying and we particularly enjoyed the time in Ravello.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Christine was very good, with good background knowledge and worked hard to make the holiday a good one for us. It also helped that she was well known and liked by all the locals.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If your knees are in any way dodgy, get the bus back from Ravello, don't go down the long steep and uneven steps to Amalfi. Use the extra time in Villa Cimbrone.

Most Inspirational Moment

I loved going up Vesuvius and inside the crater to see and learn all about the history of the volcano. It was well worth getting a guide to take you inside the crater.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Clair was brilliant and set a good pace on the walks and had a good local knowledge and the fact that she could speak Italian was a bonus. She also went the extra mile to help us gain a group discount on the ferry to Capri even though she was not organising the trip on our free day .

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for steps, up and down, and lots of them. If you use walking poles, they would be useful especially on the steps down

Most Inspirational Moment

The emphasis on supporting access to local communities and through this getting an insight into the lives of real people , more of this should be considered

the hike around the high point of Mt. Vesuvius was absolutely incredible - made me feel like I was on the top of the world.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Christine was an amazing guide who provided great information along the routes and made the group really feel like a family in a few short days. She knows everyone along the way which was really fun - we felt so welcomed by everyone! She made sure that everyone was having fun, knew what the plan was, and that we were well fed. couldn't ask for more!

Advice for Potential Travellers

the stairs were a bit of a surprise. while the trip notes said not to go if you had knee issues, only one of the days really talked to how many stairs there were....when in reality every day had quite a few stairs. hiking poles were really helpful to make it up and down all of those!
