AMALFI COAST & BAY OF NAPLES
Excellent organized trip. We didn’t have to worry about anything. Eduardo our guide was very helpful and we had all the information we needed.
Most Inspirational Moment
Amalfi is a very good experience. There are a lot of places to see around and each has a unique experience. It depends a lot on the day and the weather
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very helpful and well organized.
Advice for Potential Travellers
December can be a bit cold at the place where the hotel is. So don't forget to take warm clothes especially for evening when you dine together with others. If u don't already know, try reading the history as Pompeii, herculaneam has a huge history behind them. It adds to the experience.

As all previous reviewers have said : good hotel, friendly staff, good food. Beautiful coastal area and some interesting places to visit
Most Inspirational Moment
Not inspirational but I really enjoyed the 'walk of the gods' from the hotel to Positano. Lovely coastal path with great views
Thoughts on Group Leader
I can add nothing original about Eduardo. He was informative, organised, very friendly and helpful. A real desire for each individual in the group to have the best holiday experience. A very real part of what makes this particular trip successful
Advice for Potential Travellers
Local bus service can be erratic which can make travelling somewhere on your free day a little difficult. There is now a gov tax of 1.50Euro per hotel night which you have to pay. Pompeii is an interesting place to visit (which we did on our free day) but I would not bother with a guide, I think you can get a better experience if you read a little of its history before you go and walk around the place by yourself...particularly get away from the 'main' bits all guides show and wander off around the backstreets as there are far more buildings you can wander in and around with far fewer people and far more atmospheric.

This is a great trip and fits loads in, in a short space of time! Eduardo was amazing!
Most Inspirational Moment
Wow so many to mention, but the best bit was the Walk of the Gods, closely followed by the day on Capri, and of course ice cream in Amalfi!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Eduardo was amazing! He organised our free day fully and spent the day with us too. He was full of information, and worked tirelessly all week. He made us feel like such a special group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
It can get cold in Bomerano in September, even when it is really warm on the coast so wise to pack some jumpers.

Excellent trip for a short week break in a stunning part of Italy with a great group of people and a wonderful tour guide. Well organised, trip itinery flexible and well thought out and worked well. Hotel where we stayed was excellent, lovely staff, superb food there and good all round facilities. Good range of places visited and good balance of time and travel each day.
Most Inspirational Moment
The Walk of the Gods was my favourite part of the week, such stunning views, great walk along the cliff top and rewarding end in Positano. Great to be able to experience the traffic free side of Italy with walking in clean air and having gorgeous scenery to admire all along the walk. Feel good factor plus fun to chat along route and not overly busy with other walkers either.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Eduardo was like having your grandfather guiding the tour, he was fun, friendly and it was awesome that he lived in Bomerano as he knew everyone and everything about the place and was able to answer all the queries and questions. Plus he provide some really good local knowledge and history about the place as well as all the places we visited. He was highly organised, had a great sense of humour and was very patient with all the group and sorted out all our needs and requirements and he made nothing feel like a chore. He also had great energy and was always available to us and looked out for us the whole trip. I would recommend him as a tour leader.
Advice for Potential Travellers
We had cooler weather in September so worth taking a warm fleece for the evening as it does cool down. Also when you order food at lunch times remember it is Italy so lunch can be a long affair and try to order as a group to share foods rather than as individuals as this is more the Italian way.

I have truly enjoyed this trip. The scenery is amazing! One of my best holidays so far.
Most Inspirational Moment
It was surely the 'Walk of the gods', wherein we left from Bomerano and finished in Positano. The scenery is spectacular! Also I enjoyed the traditional aspects of Agerola [locality of hotel accomodation]. We were lucky to have been at a time when the locals celebrated their annual feast. The Agerola people are very welcoming and the food is excellent!
Thoughts on Group Leader
I enjoyed Edwardo's company. He is very sociable and being a local, he knows very well the surroundings and even the people!
Advice for Potential Travellers
I would avoid going to Amalfi in hot weather. This would spoil the 'walk of the gods'.

Friendly and engaging group leader, who did a great job on his first lead on the Amalfi coast.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Put your valuables into watertight containers on the walks, the weather is unpredictable and your phone/camera could be damaged.

This was a superb holiday, with a good mixture of walking and sight seeing. The scenery was stunning and the hotel staff were outstanding.
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting Pompeii, walking up Vesuvius and being able to go round Herculaneum on the free day (which was organised by the hotel).
Thoughts on Group Leader
Christine was an outstanding group leader. She had an enormous local knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. She met us with a smile at the airport and that smile lasted all week. Several treats appeared from her rucksack at key moments as well. She is an utterly professional and generous leader who is an asset to Exodus.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Just beware of the heat if you go in the summer months. Earplugs might help at night as the family next door to the hotel keeps late hours!!

A lovely short holiday, in a beautiful area of Europe. Good for last-minute deciders as requires no preparation. I enjoyed everything – the location, the walks and visits, the very nice group, the hotel, the food….

Walking round the crater of Vesuvius and looking down from there towards the city of Naples, with its 2 million people waiting for the next eruption .....

Very knowledgeable , experienced, well organised, somewhat temperamental :-)

This is an easy going, relaxed trip. Rather more sitting in a minibus and rather less walking than expected but that was fine for a week. Allow for mixed weather of you go in the spring...
