We are an Australian couple who are first time Exodus clients. We had a wonderful week hiking the stunning Amalfi Coast in September with a great group of people.
Most Inspirational Moment
Hiking the Path of the Gods and coming to our first stunning view.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Roberta was amazing. She led us so well, kept and us safe, participated at dinner, kept us very well informed prior and during our hikes and assisted with any additional needs from our group including working out a way for someone to participate with an injury. Roberta also with assisted with transport arrangements for forward journeys which would probably be above and beyond her duties.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Ensure you are fully aware that the hikes can be challenging. There are lots of steps and inclines and declines but certainly achievable if you are relatively fit and don't have any ongoing physical problems e.g. sore knees. The hotel is very clean and the meals simple but more than adequate in quantity. There are options in town for anyone who wants a change on a free night. Agerola is a lovely, quiet town which was a delight after the crowds in Amalfi and Positano.
If you are arriving by train into Naples just make sure you receive clear instructions on where to meet your driver. Unfortunately, we didn't have very good instructions and it took a long time to find him. We just thought the "exit" meant "outside" the station when it actually meant as we exited the platforms. Lucky our driver did speak English.
Markets, temples, Varanasi boat trips, group dinners..... Without a doubt our leader Mayank set the tone for the trip- Joyful!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mayank "Moon" Khamesra was the exemplary leader of our "Highlights of Northern India" tour. Moon profoundly enhanced my experience through his exceptional warmth, professionalism, and palpable passion for his work and country. He effortlessly connected with each member of our 16-person group, demonstrating a natural ability to make everyone feel seen and valued.
We had a fantastic trip. We were given great city guides , organised by our tour guide and because we were part of the Exodus trip had instant access to all the archeological sites that we visited.

Thoughts on Group Leader
He is very proud of his country, its customs and people and keen to share a lot of information with the group. He is well organised and friendly. He did not eat with the group, as some leaders do, but ensured we understood the menus, could order and translated when necessary to clarify a special request. He provided a lot of useful information for our free days, including recommended restaurants and places of interest.
Varied cycling terrain, canal paths, quiet country lanes, off road through trees, dirt tracks, relatively flat. Good hotels. Lovely food. Good bikes

This was a lovely weeks hiking and we were lucky to have great weather for all of our hiking days (October). It was great to start in Samos to ‘tune in’ a bit to the more busy sections of the path and having a day at the end in Santiago is essential. The distances are sometimes long, but navigation is so easy as it is so well signed, which enabled people to go at their own pace with regular meeting points for a cafe con leche. Before booking, we debated guided v unguided as it is so easy to follow but opted to go with the minimal faff option, which was good. The route was interesting and prettier than I expected, but possibly not for those who prefer more remote hiking environments and solitude.

Arriving in Santiago at the end of a great trip

Mireia was a great guide - organised, knowledgeable and fun.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Consider other flight options. The group connecting flights were tight and so stressful - we had to run between terminals on the return due to a minor delay on the first (meanwhile there was a direct Vueling flight to Gatwick at almost the same time). Having 4 flights when 2 would doesn't sit well with the environmental goals?
Be prepared for people on the route. Often this added to the atmosphere, but sometimes very large groups of school children could be noisy - save a bit of energy to put a spurt on and get past them and it wasn't too bad. Be prepared to queue at popular cafes and toilets.
Jonny our guide was outstanding. I cant find fault with him. Very knowledgeable about his country, Encyclopaedic knowledge of the wildlife. Superb spotting skills and field craft.

Very patient with a difficult member of the group. Always safety conscious. Amazing knowledge of all the wildlife, good spotting skills and liaison with other guides on where wildlife was.
