Absolutely fabulous, hotel,food,company and guide. Every walk was picturesque (regardless of steps ). The hotel staff were excellent . our first time with Exodus but looking to book again.
Walking on paths that no one could see and ascending Vesuvius,.
Very good and thoughtful of every person on the trip.
We found our camelback water carriers very useful rather than filling bottles of water as we used a lot in the heat. And leave room for lovely evening meal and endless wine when you get back.
A sympathetically organised and planned walking holiday – a clear rapport between Exodus and the family who owned the hotel which meant a very comfortable and relaxed environment to stay in.
Challenging enough walks for inexperienced walkers but our guide’s careful management meant everyone stuck together and no-one fell by the way side.
I think walking into the nature reserve between Amalfi and Ravello and not initially seeing the waterfall but feeling the cool mist on my hot back and turning to see it. I think that has to be number one. However, walking around the rim of Vesuvius really made the adrenalin flow for me - I don't have much of a head for heights, but our guide Paul made me feel I could do it and I did!
Paul was a superb leader, he helped us bond as a group. He constantly told us what a fit group we were and how well we walked together, this meant we felt we could achieve and wanted to stick together. He socialised with us and took trouble to make sure no-one was treated as a favourite and everyone got equal time. We trusted his judgement and he paced us well.
Be prepared to be hooked on walking if you haven't done it before.
We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the holiday. The descriptions given by Exodus accurately described the level of difficulty of the walks and the coastal views are second to none. The walking was interspersed with stops at villages such as Positano and Amalfi itself. The beaches were a wonderful end to two of the walks and a dip into the sea was exhilarating and refreshing! The hotel provided plenty of food of very good quality and the family were welcoming and provided some fun evenings when the group all went into the kitchen to see how the dishes are made! The house wine was perfectly adequate and the option is there if a more prestigious wine is preferred. Our room was consistent with a 3 star hotel and was very comfortable overlooking the swimming pool. The pool, although not huge was big enough for a dip and short swim with enough sunbeds and relaxing area to wind down at the end of the day.
For us, although the views of the coast and over to Capri were stunning, the visit to the private nature reserve with its amazing and pristine waterfalls was beautiful. It was absolutely deserted apart from our group and the mosses intermingled with the water have to be seen to be appreciated. A photograph does not do it justice.
Our Group leader was Paul McDermott. He was considerate to the needs of the group and was always mindful that people walk at different paces and made sure we had adequate stops - especially as it became quite hot on a couple of days. He was also fun and socialised with us in the evenings, even on his day off! Thanks Paul.
Be mindful about when you travel. Although very early May, it became very hot up to 30 degrees and this to some extent made the walking a little more onerous that if it had been cooler. That said we enjoyed all of the walks.
Bomerano is a peaceful, charming village. I enjoyed the stay there very much. The week was tiring, but worth the effort. The whole area was beautiful, and the hikes took us to a good variety of places. Exodus had everything organized very well, and they were extremely helpful in preparing for the trip, booking, paying, and conducting the tour. I was pleased with Exodus as a company.
I had some issues with the hotel (see below) but otherwise the trip was great.
The hikes, the boat ride, walking around the outskirts of Bomerano on my own.
Christine was a very dedicated group leader. She made sure all of our details were in order and that we were well-informed about logistics, plans, and preparations. She provided information about the culture and how to get along and get around in the area. She led our hikes at an appropriate pace and was helpful in every way.
The hikes are quite difficult. I was not expecting them to be so taxing. Long hikes, up and down mountains. I would suggest changing the rating of the hikes in the brochure to moderate-difficult. Take a hot water pot and your own teabags if you drink tea,
highly recommend this trip to the walkers out there, who don’t mind the kind of walks that will throw in a small challenge now and again.
the views on all the walks were breath taking.
Christine was a very helpful, knowledgeable, caring and friendly guide.
This was an excellent trip that we thoroughly recommend, made all the better by our wonderful enthusiastic leader, Christine, and the lovely people we shared it with.
Reaching the summit of Mt Vesuvius at the second attempt (thunderstorms prevented it on our scheduled visit) with our excellent guide Stefano. All the walks were very satisfying and we particularly enjoyed the time in Ravello.
Christine was excellent, enthusiastic, cheerful and professional at all times. She has great relationships with so many local people and dealt with all requests or problems efficiently. The duct tape has passed into legend!
Walking poles and decent footwear recommended for all the walks.
Wonderful trip
The Ravelo walk - great day and fantastic to end it with some time in Ravelo.
Christine was an excellent group leader - very knowledgeable helpful and patient. She always went the extra mile to make our experience special.
Great day walks, amazing scenery, wonderful history and stories, great group, brilliant hotel, fantastic food!
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.
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'!
Do take walking poles, the steps are part of the whole experience and there are lots. Take loads of photographs,
The holiday was excellent a mixture of walking and seeing the area.
The Walk of the Gods to Positano was beautiful.
The group leader was excellent helpful knowledgeable and an excellent experienced leader.
Very good trip, very scenic and good walks, although some more leisurely walkers struggled a little on the hills at first.
Villa Cimbrone, well worth a couple of hours.
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.
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.
