Pompei and Amalfi Coast
A great trip well organised. On the family trip, but with a teenager she was a little board. Very suitable for young children. Felt the walk was too short for adults around Vesuvius crater, so that was disappointing. Capri was spectacular, but again the tour around the island was very short, so you felt you didn’t full see the caves.
Most Inspirational Moment
Pompei was sensational. So was Capri
Thoughts on Group Leader
I thought he was superb for adults, but not necessarily for kids. Very helpful and sociable
Advice for Potential Travellers
Check carefully. Not a lot for teenagers. I chose the trip specifically for that reason, but nothing for them to do. The adult trip, walking, seem to have a more adventurous trip. This family trip is for younger children, my daughter, age 14, didn't enjoy it much. Make sure there are lots of other travellers the same age, otherwise they will be bored in the evenings, nothing to do in the village

Fantastic family experience
I can’t fault this trip. An excellent balance of guided tours and beach time/down time. I have to say that our guide Eduardo was a gem. Exodus are extremely fortunate to have him working for them. He is a gold mine of knowledge, full of conversation and great with the kids. I am sure that our experience and access to places you would never be able to reach are down to him. The pizza making was brilliant and the kids even joined the chef to cook our dinner one night! Thank you Exodus but more so thank you Eduardo.

Lunch in an old farmhouse on the walk of the Gods. Only accessible by foot or mule. Good food, good wine, good company... All overlooking Positano and the turquoise sea from 700metres!

Amalfi Coast: Pompeii and Pizza
Trying to entertain an energetic 11 year old and their mum is no easy task but this holiday did exactly that! A perfect blend of culture and activity along with an experienced tour guide on what level of information to give, what pace to go and keep the interest of all ages.
We loved it! Molto Beno

Climbing Mount Vesuvius
Thoughts on Group Leader
Eduardo was just great. You can tell he is very experienced and really made the holiday!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Its always a little cooler on climbing the mountains so make sure that you pack a jumper/coat for that day!
Suggestions
The only thing that I would add is that ideally it would be great if the coffee machine was one for when you got back from day trips!

Perfect pizza, heavenly Herculaneum
Brilliant planning meant that every day kept the kids occupied, entertained and interested. We loved Herculaneum, Pompeii and all the little towns. The walk of the gods was one of my favorite bits, which was a surprise to me. The scenery and lunch that day was phenomenal! The hotel was lovely – small clean and friendly. Excellent food and the kids loved the pool. Well worth the money.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing Herculaneum was great - we wandered around looking at the street signs etc. The skeletons were very moving.
We hired a pedaling and the kids all got to swim 'in the deep sea' which was very exciting for them.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Group leader was excellent- knowledgeable, friendly, helpful. Felt like a good friend by the end of the trip.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take a hat and sunglasses and refillable water bottle. Pompeii doesn't let large bags in so take a small bag for your sandwiches etc

Great trip, would like to do the walking tour!

October on the Amalfi coast
This was our first trip with Exodus and it didn’t disappoint, the Amalfi coast was stunning and our guide Paul together with the staff at 2 Torres were fantastic. Our son 7 loved the whole experience.
Most Inspirational Moment
The best part for all of us was the walk of the gods, we loved the views and the lunch provided in the small rustic building was really great. Our son loved playing with the other children on as he put it getting up to mischief!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader Paul was really helpful and all the kids loved talking with him and asking about the different places. He was very flexible in arranging things to do on the free day and made time to talk with all members of the party.

Amalfi Coast Pompeii Pizza
The hotel was in the perfect location for exploring the Amalfi Coast, the hotel was modern and clean and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was excellent, fresh and locally produced.
Most Inspirational Moment
Going up the chair lift on the isle of Capri to see the views from the top. The visit to Pompeii was amazing and the walk with the gods had breathtaking views.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Eduardo was excellent, he made the holiday wonderful. He organised everything really well and catered for everyone's needs. I was able to completely unwind and relax as he took care of everything. We managed to see so much which we would have not been able to do on our own. He took us to see the most amazing views, this will certainly be a holiday to remember.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for lots of walking, but so worth it when you get there.

We would definitely come back, loved this holiday.

Perfect family holiday
A fantastic family holiday, with a full, well thought through itinerary that was great for both the kids and the parents. The hotel location is perfect and the extra breeze on the top of the mountains is ideal for keeping a bit cooler in the evenings. Good food, and a great group of families.
Most Inspirational Moment
The surprise lunch location on one of the days (I won't spoil it for others!).
The kids cooking evenings with the chefs were especially entertaining.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Eduardo was a brilliant leader who organised everything to perfection and had the children eating out of the palm of his hand and hanging on his every word. His enthusiasm and local knowledge meant we all could relax and enjoy the activities, which were all well planned and well paced. The ideal group leader, in fact!

Amalfi Pompei & Pizza
A lovely holiday. A week of sunshine in late October. Great views, great food, fantastic historical and cultural sites.
Most Inspirational Moment
Climbing to the summit of Mt. Vesuvius. Whilst a simple climb for many, I am visually impaired, so this was a great challenge for me. Our Leader, Suzie, was very supportive, knowing when to offer assistance and when to retreat. Fantastic views from the crater edge and what a buzz for the achievement.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Suzie was informative, approachable and clearly loved the area she was guiding us through.
Advice for Potential Travellers
A good pair of boots for Mt. Vesuvius and The Walk of the Gods.

Fantastic hotel with very friendly staff, great food.
