Sardinia on foot

A well planed and well lead interesting trip

Most Inspirational Moment

We enjoyed the archaeology and caves as a balance to the lovely walks. The mountain flowers were just as I hoped to see in the wild,

Thoughts on Group Leader

Knowledgeable and experienced, communicated well and demonstrated flexibility to account for changing weather.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take full bad weather gear this is hill country

Walking in Sardinia

We saw many historical and cultural aspects of Sardinia that were a complete surprise to us and these were a bonus. The planned walks were stunning in their scope and very ably led by Albert, our tour leader. The weather was variable and greatly impacted on the activities so re scheduling was necessary; having said that, we missed nothing in the end. Being flexible is part of travel.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the gorge and the cave after much scrambling over huge rocks.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Albert was trustworthy, physically very capable and knowledgeable and patient with a diverse group of walkers.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pack for all weathers and be prepared to work with the weather.

Good Varied hiking, but need to be fit for the scrambling involved

Excellent , Confident and friendly leader who coped well with a wide variety of fitness levels
Good food served by the hotel, I personally found the beds very hard!
Shame about the weather, but not much anyone can do about that!

Most Inspirational Moment

Visit to the cave was spectacular

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent friendly leader, felt very safe, and he coped well with a wide variety of fitness levels / and experience of the other hikers

Advice for Potential Travellers

Prepare for all weathers, and assess your level of fitness to cope with the scrambling and uneven rocky hiking, and Some steepish climbs/descents

Walking in Sardinia

The walk on the first day was cold and very windy and I was unsure what to expect – but after that we were lucky with perfect sunny weather. Every day was very different with some challenging walks and very interesting archaeology. The countryside was very green with colourful flowers and the sea very blue. The sea was pretty cold in early May but a brief swim was very refreshing in the clear water. The hotel was family run and very friendly with hot showers and homely food. Our leader Albert was great – although it would have been nice to have learned a bit more about Sardinian culture. Our group spanned 30 years in our ages – which made for a really good mix of people. I really enjoyed Sardinia and this holiday.

Most Inspirational Moment

Hard to say. I loved Serra Orrios in its setting of olive trees - and also seeing a bee orchid!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Albert was excellent. It was nice to have some local guides at some sites too. And having wine and local cheeses at the small family vineyard of our minivan drivers was very welcome.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Walking poles were good with some steep ups and downs on coastal paths.

A great holiday

Sardinia proved to be a surprisingly beautiful island with good walks and a fabulous coast. The hotel is very good with excellent food and very friendly staff. We were blessed with great weather which I’m sure influenced my enjoyment. The group was also lovely but that’s my experience almost every time with Exodus. If you happen to have Albert as your guide you will indeed be fortunate – a more caring, competent and sociable leader would be hard to find. Personally I would drop the ‘tourist day’, hence only four stars.

Most Inspirational Moment

Perhaps the boat ride!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Superb.

Varied walking and friendly people

Sardinia offers good, varied walking and activities on a beautiful island. We stayed at a very welcoming family-run hotel, as so often with Exodus. The town of Dorgali is a centre for crafts – traditional and modern jewellery, leatherwork and pottery, mostly – and the locals are friendly and helpful. The walking group included people with many different talents, backgrounds & interests. As usual I had many great conversations on a range of subjects, made some new friends, and learnt much.

Most Inspirational Moment

All the spring flowers

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alexis was great, very helpful - especially when my luggage was delayed, as he lent me his down gilet for extra warmth! He put a lot of effort into making sure that everyone had the best possible holiday, and was always cheerful and flexible

Advice for Potential Travellers

The weather was very variable on our late April trip - expect a range of temperatures and weather, sometimes in the same day

First trip with Exodus

First day of walking was straight up. Not a very interesting route. I suggest you rethink this option.

Sight-seeing day was fun, informative and well paced.

Tiscali was a fabulous day.

An alternative hotel would be a significant improvement. The accommodation was simple, but with 4 hours post walk before dinner, the ‘lounge’ was minimal. Meals were simple and far from expectations- dining in Italy should be a great experience.

Most Inspirational Moment

Great day going to Tiscali

Thoughts on Group Leader

Fabulous! Energetic and personable. Alexi worked hard to ensure participants were happy and doing well

Great trip

One of the best trip leaders I’ve seen in almost 20 holidays with Exodus; lovely family run hotel; amazing gelato and great walking.

Most Inspirational Moment

The lunch on the beach - great barbecue food and awesome views.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alexis was knowledgable, caring, considerate and good fun to be with. He was one of the best trip leaders I have come across.

Walking in Sardinia

We had a super time on this holiday. Sardinia is a beautiful island, the walking was very enjoyable and the hotel used was perfect for this trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Arriving in Dorgali to find a 2 day festival taking place. It was a joy to behold. Also, walking to Tiscali high in the mountains and discovering this ancient place.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alexis is an excellent leader. He guided us with great care, fun, expertise and consideration for all.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take walking poles as they can be very useful on the stony paths. Be prepared for all weathers.

Island of wonders

This was an excellent trip! The walking was quite hard occasionally because of some rocky terrains but I am in my 60’s and not the fittest for my age ….so no problem!
The weather was very changeable- I believe more than usual- so waterproofs are a must in September. The sights we visited were stunning! Tiscali and the Stalactites were amazing.
Our guide Alexis was superb. He clearly takes his job very seriously and has a good knowledge of the region. He is also very sociable and humourous.
Like all holidays a lot depends on the group…this group were exceptionally nice.
I can really recommend this holiday if you want a good mix of interesting archeological sights and walking.
The food and wine was rather good too!

Most Inspirational Moment

Difficult to choose but either Tiscali or the cave with the stalactites etc. It was like walking into Gormenghast!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Already said....Outstanding!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Have good footwear suitable for a rocky terrain. Take walking poles.
