Amalfi Guided Walk

Great day walks, amazing scenery, wonderful history and stories, great group, brilliant hotel, fantastic food!

Most Inspirational Moment

Ravello, my favourite town, looking down on Positano at the end of the Walk of the Gods, the views from everywhere, the tour of Pompeii.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Christine was unstoppable enthusiastic, knowledgable about the area, the culture, seemed to know everyone, great with all of the group and their individual needs and was happy that we could run, skip and be happy. Word of the week 'doable'!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do take walking poles, the steps are part of the whole experience and there are lots. Take loads of photographs,

Amalfi

Very good trip, very scenic and good walks, although some more leisurely walkers struggled a little on the hills at first.

Most Inspirational Moment

Villa Cimbrone, well worth a couple of hours.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Christine was very good, with good background knowledge and worked hard to make the holiday a good one for us. It also helped that she was well known and liked by all the locals.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If your knees are in any way dodgy, get the bus back from Ravello, don't go down the long steep and uneven steps to Amalfi. Use the extra time in Villa Cimbrone.

Walking on the Amalfi Coast

A really good walking holiday with excellent views of the coastline. A full schedule meant we saw as much as we could and had great trips to Pompeii, Vesuvius and Capri

Most Inspirational Moment

I loved going up Vesuvius and inside the crater to see and learn all about the history of the volcano. It was well worth getting a guide to take you inside the crater.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Clair was brilliant and set a good pace on the walks and had a good local knowledge and the fact that she could speak Italian was a bonus. She also went the extra mile to help us gain a group discount on the ferry to Capri even though she was not organising the trip on our free day .

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for steps, up and down, and lots of them. If you use walking poles, they would be useful especially on the steps down

The emphasis on supporting access to local communities and through this getting an insight into the lives of real people , more of this should be considered

Thoughts on Group Leader

The best leader we have experienced, nothing was too much trouble for him

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pack for all types of weather , you especially need good walking boots with secure ankle support

walking the amalfi coast - March 14-21

a really well laid out week of hiking. great day hikes that take you through beautiful countryside. There are a TON of stairs in nearly every day’s hike, so be prepared for that. And March weather was pretty unstable, so I’d recommend going later in the year to have more wildflowers and higher chance of sunshine. The hotel that we stayed out was very homey and the food spectacular!

Most Inspirational Moment

the hike around the high point of Mt. Vesuvius was absolutely incredible - made me feel like I was on the top of the world.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Christine was an amazing guide who provided great information along the routes and made the group really feel like a family in a few short days. She knows everyone along the way which was really fun - we felt so welcomed by everyone! She made sure that everyone was having fun, knew what the plan was, and that we were well fed. couldn't ask for more!

Advice for Potential Travellers

the stairs were a bit of a surprise. while the trip notes said not to go if you had knee issues, only one of the days really talked to how many stairs there were....when in reality every day had quite a few stairs. hiking poles were really helpful to make it up and down all of those!

Walking the Amalfi coast

A great weeks activity I feel much fitter. The activity was occasionally tailored to the needs of our group, done sympathetically with no fuss, the great number of steps involved on some walks provoked some knee problems.
The hotel was warm, comfy and served great food of excellent variety and quality, I don’t think I’ve ever been so well fed or served.
Our guide Christina knew her job well, was friendly and attentive without being over fussy. Her suggestion to visit a paper making demonstration was a real bonus to the trip and put the walk and scenery for that day into context.

Most Inspirational Moment

Feeling the heat from the fumerols in the crater on Vesuvius. The views from the top of Vesuvius Walking in the sunshine up the valley of the paper mills in Amalfi

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very good, excellent local knowledge, warm friendly manner with out fuss. Constantly keeping an eye on the needs of the whole group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

When the trip notes say STEPS, they mean steps in abundance. If your knees are a bit 'iffy' take poles. According to Christina 'every thing is do able' .Just take it at your own pace. This is allowed.

WALKING THE AMALFI COAST

This was a fantastic week spent with delightful companions. The scenery was stunning, the walks were varied and enjoyable. The pace was leisurely, and although as a Sunday walker I found some of the ascents a little strenuous, it was all well worth the effort, and Paul our leader was on hand with lots of help and encouragement. Optional activities such as Vesuvius and Herculaneum were also well organised and enjoyable.

Most Inspirational Moment

I particularly enjoyed the Walk of the Gods, and the descent to Amalfi was memorable, probably for the 2000 steps!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader Paul was very sociable and enthusiastic. He talked us through all of the walks beforehand, and had excellent local knowledge. He judged the pace of the walks very well, so no one was left behind, and chose some beautiful picnic spots.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared to exert yourself - the rewards are worth it, and as several of my fellow travellers have said, expect lots and lots of steps! Good boots and hiking poles are a great help.
