This was my first Exodus trip and it was very disappointing. For the pros, the hikes were amazing and the hotel was cozy and comfortable. However, for our group of 16, six of us were placed with a private group of 10 friends who were celebrating a birthday and we were treated as tag alongs. One of the six joined another group and the remaining five were basically ostracized from the group. From the first night where our guide did not meet with us, we felt left out. We were seated separately for meals, given very little instructions, had separate what’s app group set up, etc, while we watched the cohesion of the other groups and how well their group leaders led them. Once or twice, another group leader would come by to give us information after noticing that we were left out. It left a very bitter taste and moved a few of us to tears by the end of the trip.

Not communicative enough and very sparse with information.

Reply from Exodus
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, although we’re truly sorry to hear that your first Exodus experience didn’t meet your expectations. While we’re pleased you enjoyed the hikes and the comfort of the Hotel Due Torri, we regret that the group dynamics left you feeling excluded.
We’ve spoken with the leader, who clarified that efforts were made to share key information and ensure all group members were informed and included, despite the challenges. That said, we understand that your experience didn’t reflect the welcoming and cohesive environment we strive to create on all our adventures.
Your feedback is important to us, and we’re reviewing how we manage group dynamics to ensure all guests feel equally supported and connected. We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to deliver the kind of memorable and inclusive adventure we’re known for.
Well organised, action packed tour, excellent tour guide, admin staff pleasant and helpful on the phone.

Too many to pick! Everyday was a highlight in it own way
Thoughts on Group Leader
Roberta was beyond fabulous - the best guide we have ever hiked with. Knowledgeable - read the rhythm of the group perfectly. Genuinely concerned about the safety of the group. Personable, social and approachable.
The hotel staff were lovely. Roberta our walks leader was exceptional, she had high knowledge of the local area, culture, routes and was very genuine in her commitment to ensuring a high quality and safe experience. She was also very warm and funny. The other leaders of accompanying groups were also great and approachable. The hotel was really nice and away from all the crowds on amalfi.

The group was excellent and I didn't feel marginalised or left out going solo. It was nice however to meet other solos in the group, though everyone came together and was friendly. Eating together as a group really helped with this. I enjoyed all the walks very much and tours to interesting places like Ravello, pompei and the volcano. I especially enjoyed the path of gods. It was a busy week, so I enjoyed the day off.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I think Roberta was outstanding and we were very privileged to have her. I think she will prove a hard act to follow on a similar trip.
Firstly the guide Veriano was top class at everything and the hotel was excellent, room was clean and well presented and the food and service excellent

Veriano was excelled in everything he did from his local knowledge, organisation and looked after everyones needs. A credit to Exodus.
From start to finish, this was an excellent holiday. The group got on so well, and our leader was amazing.

The were so many highlights including: - Roberta - our amazing guide - Pompei & Vesuvius - The beautiful scenery
Thoughts on Group Leader
Roberta was fantastic - she is a role model and all Tour Leaders should aspire to be like her. She was conscientious, friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. Roberta went above and beyond to make sure all members of the group were properly equipped, took regular water on board and she ensured slower members of the group were directly behind her in any challenging areas of the walk. She led a briefing each evening to discuss arrangements for the following day - ensuring we all understood the c
The whole experience regarding the Walking the Amalfi Coast trip was excellent, would highly recommended it.

Each day was a highlight of my trip but if I had to pick one it would be hiking the "Path of the Gods"......stunning walk.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Everyone in our group hiking the Amalfi Coast were all in total agreement, not only was she an amazing guide who, if anyone had a question or query, she it sorted itout asap, but she was also a wonderful person too.
This was my first walking tour and I loved it. We had a wonderful guide Theresa and a great group. We also had springtime flowers, the cliffs, the water, and Italian food.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking through poppies, olive trees, and lemon trees, and seeing the water.

Terrific, knowledgeable, organized.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I'm not sure what the difference is between walking and hiking anymore. I liked the walk, but be prepared for a more difficult walk than the Trip Notes indicate. The company overcharged me $1000 for an individual supplement.
Fantastic views of the Amalfi Coast were always in sight. Three of the hikes have a couple of thousand stairs each which made mornings a little less comfortable until our calves became acclimatized. The recognizable landmarks helped with orientation when we caught sight of them from varying perspectives on different days, thus providing a strong sense of the geography of the area. There are abundant olives, lemons, oranges, figs, and other fruits in terraced farms along the way, with occasional clusters of pale houses in the larger towns we visited.

Reaching the highest point on Vesuvius, and walking the ridgeline of Capri
Thoughts on Group Leader
Nico was humorous, informative, and took time to indicate landmarks that we would eventually view from multiple perspectives. He is an excellent representative of the Exodus ideal.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be ready for stairs of all heights and lengths to allow access to constant coastal views.
My second trip with Exodus; did not disappoint. Lots of stairs, as well described in notes. Hotel great, food stellar
Nico amazing guide, Eduardo, amazing driver 😌

Bomerano is higher, nestled in the mountains. Cooler than on the coast. Bring layers
