great mix of walking, local peaks, wooded ravines and steps down to the pretty coastal resorts. Plus the ancient sites of Pompei and Versuvius – both amazing in their unique ways. Lots of steps – feels more like a grade 3 than a 2 at times, but well wroth the effort. the walk of the gods is a highlight. The local red wine was far too drinkable and we were well fed – I was the group vegetarian and I felt well catered for. Albert, our excellent guide, has a passion for for making sure you get the most out of your holiday
The view from the peak on day one along the Amalfi coast to Capri has WOW factor.
Albert was fantastic - we were in safe hands.
Expect lots of walking up and down steps, walking poles aren't necessary but some may find they help
I did my first Exodus trip hiking the Amalfi Coast in September. It far surpassed my expectations. The hike itself is so beautiful. Everyday we were treated to absolutely spectacular views. The hiking was challenging as there were lots of ups and downs but it was “very doable” as our lovely guide Christine told us.
The group was made up of some Canadians with most being from the UK. I really enjoyed the dynamics of the group and our leader set the tone for what was a very pleasant time.
Our accommodation for the trip was also excellent, as was the food and the special activities like making pasta and tirimisu. Any problems that arouse were quickly taken care of and the staff were very helpful.
I’m already looking for another Exodus trip.
Probably the views. They took your breathe away. Especially from the high views.
Christine was excellent. She is so positive and encouraging and we loved her little sayings that we were all quoting by the end of the week.
I loved all of the trip! It was my first walking holiday – I’d only really started walking more tha 3/4 miles a day in September of this year and was not really sure I’d be up to all of the walks!
However I did them all with – lots of encouragement from the other guests and Albert and Severio who were leading.
Doing the first walk just out of the hotel in Bomerano where we were staying! Which at end of week I thought had been the hardest!! Just loved all of it!
Albert was great, despite always telling us "just a few more steps" " the next bit is easier" probably never walk up and down steps without thinking of him!! - in a good way of course!
Do make sure you have done some walking, I had done very little, but was glad I'd got a some longish walks in between September and 24/10 when the holiday started. I had only used walking poles once before, but was very glad I had them as they really helped - I love them now! The Amalfi Coast has a LOT of steps - be sure your knees are up to it. To Vera who I met on one of my WEALDLAND WALKERS outings - sure you will enjoy it as you already walk!
Fab holiday, lovely group and leaders.
Meeting the leader and his story inspired me.
Fab, inspirational in what he does. I might have to try the walking in the Dolomites now!
You have to have a head for heights
Though the weather was not great the quality of the itinerary, flexibility and the people I had a great holiday.
Going up versuvius in gale force winds!
Good though lack of Italian language skills meant did not benefit fully from local environment.
Just that it is a varied holiday with something for everyone. Just prepare for rain if going in October!
Moderate level hikes but leisurely pace – all perfectly doable. Stunning views, walking up and inside Vesuvius is amazing.
Views from Vesuvius
Christine is fabulous! She knows the towns, the people, the history inside and out - a true local combined with the perspective and understanding of a Brit.
Going in October was great - I'd imagine the summer heat makes the treks harder. Bring a walking pole! Save some $$ for a day trip to Capri complete with private topless taxi with a wonderful driver/tour guide (Christine did a top notch job arranging it for us). Spend some time in the town and get out of the hotel for at least one dinner. If you can, spend some time before or after the trip in Italy to have a more complete experience instead of just going/leaving with the tour.
Walking the Amalfi Coast is a fabulous trip and I highly recommend it!
Views of the cities, towns, mountains, and coastlines during our treks.
Christine is awesome! She combines the best of being from the UK and relating to the travelers while also knowing the ins and outs of the region well, plus she's treated like a local. Listen to her advice - she speaks from experience.
Some thoughts... I went in October and we had great weather. I'd imagine the walks are much harder in summer heat... Bring a walking pole... Budget extra $$ to go to Capri and get the private driver (enjoy the convertible taxi).... Get out of the hotel for a meal or two to better experience the region. If you can, arrive early or stay late to visit a bit more of the region.
I have just returned from Walking the Amalfi Coast. This was a really great holiday and I would really recommend it. The walks are all lovely, although they are not too long, they seem more difficult owing to the steepness of the terrain. You see beautiful scenery around the Amalfi Coast and also on the walk to Ravello. It is nice to see around Bomerano the village where the holiday is based, where they grow all kinds of vegetables and fruit and to see where cheese is made.
The hotel is a good standard and the staff really friendly and helpful. The food was really nice there.
I enjoyed getting to know all members of the group. We had a lot of fun and laughter together.
Everything!
Christine was a very enthusiastic group leader, she was very experienced and knowledgeable having led this trip over the last 9 years. She is friendly and approachable. It was clear from the greetings she received from staff in the hotel and people from Bomerano where the trip is based that she is very well thought about. This makes it easier for her to arrangements for the groups benefit. Christine worked hard to make arrangements for the benefit of the group eg transport for our free day.
As in many of the reviews regarding this trip I would recommend bring a walking pole/poles, these are particularly needed owing to the steep steps, that are present in the majority of the walks. I would also recommend bringing waterproof walking trousers in case of rain. Luckily I didn't need these on the days that we walked, however I didn't see places where you could buy walking gear in this part of Italy.
The holiday included 4 spectacular walks including the famous ‘path of the Gods’. The walks are only 6 to 7 miles long. What I did not appreciate was the steepness of this coastline. The land rises from sea level to over 2000 metres high in only a few miles. This gives walks clinging to edges wirh amazing views over the sea and coastline. It also means there is some quite strenuous walking with lots of steps on some days (2600 on one day). However, the pace is gentle and the phrase used is ‘do-able’. Visiring Pompeii and Versuvios was also amazing. Pompeii is huge and so much to see that having a guide was essential so that you could understand the history.
The Valle de Ferrier walking from Amalfi to Ravello. Such a mix of interesting things from walking through Amalfi and seeing the Cathedral and tunnel walkways, to looking at the Nativity scenes along the way. The waterfalls in the valley were so beautiful that I agreed with our guide that we could be in a fairy glen. The plants and butterflies were gorgeous, the houses built into the cliff face and finally arriving in the beautiful town of Ravello and enjoying an iced coffee out of glasses with ceramic stems. (So beautiful were the glasses I bought one to bring home)
Christine was perfect as our leader. She knew what pace to keep so we all enjoyed the walks and did not feel left behind. Her knowledge of the area and the culture is extensive and she relate stories of the locals in a very interesting way. I would recommend her highly.
This is not a holiday for people who cannot cope with heights. Some of the walking is on paths with steep drops, though it is quite safe some people may struggle with the height. Also the nature of the walking means it is tough on the legs with the number of steps negotiated downhill. I recommend using walking poles.
The spectacular and memorable views that Mount Tre Calli has to offer is most certainly well worth the climb offering stunning views. In summary a great adventure which does not only come from me but also speaking for my side kick and good friend Michelle the Limoncello lady! The previous reviews in themselves from my fellow walking companions are weight and testament of the enjoyment had even though challenging in parts. We enjoyed all the walks, the smells as you walked, the chatting, followed by the drinking and eating, and most of all Limoncello.
Walk of the gods and finishing up in the picturesque Positano a dream place for a well-deserved beer and swim followed by a scenic ferry ride along the coast back to Amalfi what a wonderful finish to the week and the Valle Delle Ferriere National Park and its natural landscapes . Apart from all the walks it had to be exploring the ruins of Pompeii in the morning and Mount Vesuvius in the afternoon. And most of all meeting some wonderful and interesting people.
Paul was a very knowledgeable and an entertaining group leader who took time to engage with all members of the group we could not have had a better guide.
Just book !!! all good worth it.
