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

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.

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 😌

Advice for Potential Travellers
Bomerano is higher, nestled in the mountains. Cooler than on the coast. Bring layers
So the views were beautiful, the walks invigorating, the company a joy. But I have to comment on three things. 1) Eduardo did us wrong arranging our trip out of Bomerano. We had originally booked a private transfer to the airport but changed plans after the trip began. I sent a request to Exodus to change it but never heard back. I called and was told someone would call me back. Never happened. I asked our tour leader and he said Eduardo was in charge of that at the local level. I met with Eduardo in person and he agreed verbally to take three of us to the ferry dock. When the day came he refused on the basis of the fact that one other person who needed to go to the airport had joined our private transfer. Then Eduardo added another guy not from the tour who needed to buy or pick up something in another town along the way. When I complained that here we had all paid extra for this private transfer and we got driven through this other town in all kinds of traffic and waited while this guy did his errand, Eduardo still refused to take us to the ferry dock even though he had verbally agreed to do so. Very unimpressive. 2) I understand why the itinerary had to be updated several times due to weather BUT we could never be sure what was what because it was hard to keep in mind the details of the sometimes confusing verbal instructions we were told each night. A simple email or WhatsApp set of detailed instructions about the next day sent each evening would have solved this issue. 3) both the room by the pool where we met each evening to get our information for the next day and the dining room have the most horrendous acoustics, making it hard to hear the verbal instructions, unpleasant to dine there, and less able to enjoy our fellow traveler’s company or even the meal. Some carpeting or acoustic panels on the ceilings or meeting in a different room would have solved this.

The Path of the Gods!!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Nico was very careful and took his responsibilities to us very seriously. This was surely not easy as the walks were challenging and I’d guess the average age in our group was mid-seventies. Anything could have happened but thanks to Nico there were no casualties.
Reply from Exodus
Thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting both the memorable and challenging aspects of your trip. We’re delighted to hear that the views, walks, and group camaraderie made for an enjoyable adventure overall.
We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you encountered with your transfer arrangements. We understand how frustrating it must have been to receive conflicting information and to have a verbal agreement not honoured. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we’re reviewing our local processes to ensure clearer communication and accountability in future.
Your suggestion regarding daily itinerary updates is greatly appreciated. We agree that a simple written summary via WhatsApp would make it easier for guests to stay informed, especially when plans shift due to weather. This already happens on some of our trips and we’re looking at ways we can improve the use of WhatsApp across the board.
We also appreciate your feedback on the acoustics in the meeting and dining areas. Creating a comfortable environment for briefings and meals is important, and we’ll share your comments with the property to explore possible improvements.
Thank you again for your thoughtful review. Your insights help us improve, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure soon.
