Reply from Exodus

We would like to thank Christopher for his review, although we regret that he did not feel that the Hotel Due Torri assisted when members of his group were unwell.  Having investigated the cause of the illness, we have found no evidence to indicate that the hotel was the source of the illness, but a number of measures were taken by Exodus and the hotel to prevent the spread of infection and we are pleased to confirm that these were successful.  We remain very sorry, nonetheless, that members of Christopher’s group were unwell as we recognise that feeling poorly whilst on holiday is incredibly disappointing.

Fabulous trip

It’s over ten years ago since I did a walking trip and this is the first one in Europe.
I found the walking to be as described in the notes. The only thing that they don’t tell you is that ‘lactic acid city’ is going to hit those muscles for a few days unless one has done enough hill walking, especially after the 2,000 plus steps down to Amalfi.
Do take at least one walking pole as it definitely helps to support limbs and steady one’s descent where the path is uneven and rocky.
Our tour guide, Vania di Paoli, was a lovely guide. She was caring, patient, efficient and organised and she was always there to brief us on the day’s walk, in the evening, before dinner. She set a very nice pace for the group and found us some interesting spots to eat our lunch.

Great walks/hiking trails

Enjoy the different walks/trails which were all not too difficult for if you do not have a problem with steps. Walking poles were available to used from the hotel (free of charge) making the walks easier.
Great coastal sea views and trips to both Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius vast crater walk.

Walking the Amalfi Coast

This was a superb trip – wonderful walks with stunning coastal views, lovely accommodation, food and drink and great tour guide (Michela). I wholeheartedly recommend it – just beware that there is plenty of up / down climb in the walks, especially the steps +++ down to Amalfi. It was great to visit Pompei and Herculaneum, both fascinating sites and we were lucky enough to have Hectore as our site guide. It was also worth doing Naples for pizza and the museum – we did this on our last day. Michela was really helpful in maximising the options that members of the group chose. Great job Michela and Exodus.

Walking the Amalfi Coast

Great walks, wonderful scenery, good company.
The hotel Due Torri was spotlessly clean, the hotel staff were all, without exception, friendly and helpful. Its a family run hotel and they go out of there way to make sure you are looked after. The food at the hotel was excellent.
Some of the walks were tougher than we anticipated, so we all had aching legs for the first couple of days, but it was worth it for the views.

Amazing Amalfi

Just a note to extol the virtues of both the holiday and the leader.

It was a week filled with varied walks which were very well lead by Severio. His personal preparation, briefings and advice were of an amazingly high standard. He is a very friendly guy, personable and caring with a fantastic sense of humour

The walks themselves were varied in style, scenery and degree of difficulty. We were able to explore a vast area of the coast and were amazed when we were able both to view from the sea and to see outlined on a map just how far we had walked and the heights we had attained.

This is my second Exodus trip (Albania being my first) but it will not be my last

Well done Exodus

Scenic but challenging week

I was part of a family group for our week of walking the Amalfi Coast. We had every type of weather which nature could throw at us, rain, fog, snow hail and sun but Enrico our brilliant guide adapted our activities ingeniously to cope. The week is a mixture of challenging hikes to Amalfi, Positano and Ravello and then more gently flat walks around Pompeii Naples and Herculaneum. When the sun did shine, the views and scenery of the coastline were breathtaking. We had brilliant guide, Hectore, to explain and illuminate the history and tragedy of the end of Pompeii and Herculaneum. We were part of a lovely group of people. The hotel and hospitality were excellent, lovely food and warm showers and central heating made for a good return after challenging wet walks. Enrico was a fount of knowledge of the history and ecology of the area so I learned a lot. So glad to have at last been able to visit such a beautiful and fascinating area.

Beautiful Amalfi Coast

It was my first ever organised holiday trip and it was a real success. I had such an amazing time in Italy, meeting lovely people, discovering beautiful places and eating great food! The Amalfi Coast is just magical and we managed to see a lot of it during our walks and treks. It was also pleasant to have the coast almost to ourselves at this time of the year and to avoid the summer crowds (especially in Pompei and Amalfi). it’s riskier as the weather changes rapidly in March but we were quite lucky and Enrico, our guide, was really good in terms of organisation to make sure we would always have something to do regardless of the weather. The hotel team was lovely as well and took good care of our group! Definitely recommend it!

Excellent first trip

This was my first trip of this kind – I usually go on holiday with friends or family. Due to thick fog, torrential downpours and landslides, the itinerary was changed a bit, to make the most of the good weather. Severio kept us informed and entertained and we had plenty to do. It was a fun, well-organised week with a lovely group of people.

Walking the amalfi coast

Wonderful way to walk and see the highlights of the amalfi coast. The guide, Enrico enthusiastically took us on the walks and always had a plan b or c if the weather disappointed us. Take walking poles if you have sore knees as lots of steps and be prepared to walk up 400metres as well as down lots of steps. Hotel a great place to come back to for a well earned hot shower, a drink and diner .
