Amalfi Coast walking
A wonderful way of seeing highlights of the Amalfi and good balance of walking and other activities.
Be prepared for lots of steps!
Our guide was great, the group was fun and the hotel looked after us brilliantly.
Not much time to ‘chill out’ so advise possibly extending trip for a few rest days if you want a proper holiday.
Almafi coast
A brillant holiday. Amazing views. Some walks are harder than others for example. Good. Path of God’s you really do need a head for heights and be prepared to doing some mini rock climbing.
The accommodation was brillant. The owners are lovely the food was amazing. The great location. A nice quiet area instead of being in the hustle and bustle of almafi town.
Most Inspirational Moment
The views, the food and having a good local guide to show us the almafi coast.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Severio was great very knowledgeable and great to have a local person doing the job.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take Plenty of money with you. It's an expensive area. Take good walking shoes/boots and be prepared to be walking up and down loads of steps.
Full of interest
Walking the Amalfi coast was great exercise, it was nice being outside enjoying the countryside learning about the history and culture of the region at the same time.
Most Inspirational Moment
Learning about Pompeii and how the citizens lived in days gone by made me realise just how much of modern day practises were actually in place centuries ago. Pompeii is a huge site full of interest (unfortunately also full of tourists!)
Thoughts on Group Leader
We had a great group leader in Satva, charming, considerate and full of interesting anecdotes.
Advice for Potential Travellers
We were advised that walking poles would be useful but I didn't find I needed any. If you do regular exercise running or cycling and are in general good health this holiday will be very comfortable for you. Watch the steps though, they are all around the region and going down can be a strain on your knees. I went to Capri and walked up the Phonecian steps which took 30mins. There was plenty of time to see all the sites before heading back to the boat.
Review
Great trip! From our arrival in Bomerano, we were warmly greeted and our itinerary was set. The walks were marvelous, with clear expectations and careful attention to detail (breaks for coffee, gelato and limoncello were timely and much appreciated). The food and wine at the Due Torre were great, and we enjoyed our “night out” at a lovely restaurant in town (Le Corte Delghi Dei). We were lucky to have great weather for walking, but one really couldn’t ask for a better vacation.
Most Inspirational Moment
The first view of Positano on the Path of the Gods.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Severio was great-his connection to the community was palpable, and his advice on "the best" gelato and cappuccino was always right on target.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do this trip; you won't regret it.
Walking The Amalfi Coast
An amazing week in a beautiful part of the world, I cannot fault any of it!
We were very well looked after, by the family run Hotel Due Torri, which was warm and friendly, with good food and plenty of it. We had a lovely group lead by Severio who was excellent.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walk of the Gods down to Postitano - for me the longest and hardest day, but worth it for the fabulous views. Vesuvius, Pompeii and Ravello - this is a well thought out trip and not a moment of it is wasted.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Severio couldn't have been better, thoughtful, warm and inclusive of the group, knowledgeable of the area, and good to have at the helm.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Walking poles, and a good level of fitness. The walks are not long, but the terrain definitely makes them more difficult.
Walking the Amalfi Coast
From start to finish it was a fantastic holiday. The walks took us through stunning landscapes and, though at times challenging, were immensely rewarding. The trip to Pompei and Vesuvius was amazing, with two excellent specialist guides who were passionate about their subjects. Hotel Due Torri is the friendliest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff are charming and do everything to make one’s stay enjoyable. They have the gift of making their guests feel special, and this level of enthusiasm is all the more impressive considering the numbers who stay there throughout the year. The cookery and pizza demonstrations are highly entertaining as well as instructive, the food is very good and drinks extremely reasonably priced. We had a lovely group, great fun and supportive from the outset. Finally, our guide Severio was outstanding.
Most Inspirational Moment
The dizzying experience of standing on the heights of Vesuvius with views of Naples and beyond in one direction, and the dark volcanic crater on the other. That magical moment on the Walk of the Gods when sea and sky merge in the palest of blues and are indistinguishable. Arriving at the Lemon Shack on the same walk - nothing has ever tasted so good as that glass of juice.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Severio is an inspirational guide. He worked tirelessly to make sure we all had a great holiday, giving encouragement and building confidence where needed. He was attentive to individual needs as well as key to establishing a sense of group. He is clearly totally at home in the Amalfi region, and has a depth of professional knowledge which he imparts with humour and passion, whether discussing the merits of various brands of Limoncello, recounting Greek legends or giving the background on local communities. He has detailed knowledge of the walks, and our safety and range of ability were always his main consideration. Above all, he is a kind and engaging person. The warmth with which he was greeted wherever we went was a real indication of the esteem in which he is held.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Definitely bring walking poles as you will need them on the steep ascents and descents - one or two, whichever you're comfortable with. Be prepared to find the terrain more difficult than you might have experienced on a previous Exodus holiday of the same grading. Obviously the fitter you are the better, but the after effects of multiple steps may still surprise you - and it's hard to see how one can totally prepare beforehand in view of the extreme ups and downs of the Amalfi area. However don't give up - you'll receive lots of encouragement from your guide and the rest of the group, and the sense of achievement on reaching the end of the week after completing all the walks is worth it all.
An absolutely brilliant walking holiday
A superb week walking the paths and steps(there are just a few thousand!) of the Amalfi coast. The views were outstanding, after a misty start the weather became warm and sunny, the group were excellent company and Paul, our leader, was absolutely great.
Most Inspirational Moment
The villages and lemon groves clinging to the hillsides, getting to know a totally new area for us both, the sheer beauty of the landscape, stepping back in time at Pompeii and the awesome majesty of Vesuvius dominating the Naples skyline.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Paul was great, a brilliant leader in every aspect and great fun to be with; plus he made sure that the 'tail enders' has sufficient time to rest before the next stage of a walk.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The walks are more at the moderate than leisurely end of the scale.
Walking the Amalfi Coast
A great way to see a beautiful part of the world. Bomerano felt a long way from the tourist trail, but we were within easy distance of Amalfi, Positano and Ravello. The hotel was friendly and comfortable, with great food, and the guides made sure that everyone was looked after.
Most Inspirational Moment
The first walk on Monte Tre Calli had beautiful views on a clear day. Having drinks and laughs outside the Crazy Burger bar later that day. But the best day was Pompei and Vesuvius... magnificent.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Paul is a gentleman and a diligent guide. He was very calm and I always felt that he had things in hand. Serena who was training as a guide on our week was great fun and added to the great atmosphere in the group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Use walking poles. Bring a swim suit and follow the lead of of some of our group who swam ( even though it was February!!! ) Pace yourself with the dinners.. they are delicious but risk of overeating. Be prepared for tight calves... all those steps.
Amalfi Coast
Lovely walks, blue skies, huge dinners, great people – the perfect holiday!
Most Inspirational Moment
The Walk of the Gods was my highlight - a stunning path with lovely views, finishing with a paddle on Positano beach.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Paul was fab!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared to put on a lot of weight... the food in the hotel is amazing and there is a lot of it!
Walking the Amalfi Coast
Amazing action packed week full of interesting discoveries. Found some of the walks hard going but countered by feeling of elation once completed. Lots of fun & laughs had by the group.
Most Inspirational Moment
Ferriere to Ravello, where we passes lemon groves, working horses & bee keeper, waterfalls & more.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader Paul was first class. He added to the fun/enjoyment but also ensured that each member of the group was happy with what they were doing & offered help when needed.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Some of the walks are definitely more on the moderate scale, By day 3 most of the group were tired. Lots & lots of steps.
