This was a wonderful holiday, my first with Exodus . The walking and views are exceptional, the hotel , staff ,food could not be faulted . A great group, lots of fun and a really good time of year to go.
That's easy, swimming in the sea and then drinking chilled proscecco sitting on the beach at Amalfi .
Eric our group leader was great. He organised everything (including the beach experience ) and led us on some amazing walks. He was very friendly and had some good stories to tell.
Take a variety of clothes if you go in October as the days can be quite warm but it gets cooler in the evenings.
The trip was excellent from start to finish. The walks were varied, all requiring different muscles from one day to the next! The hotel was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they looked after us all extremely well. One comment would be the rating of the walks as leisurely to moderate, I am pretty fit but wouldn’t have classified any of the walks as leisurely as there was a degree of skill or extra effort required on each day be it downward steps, climbing or being sure-footed on the more exposed pathways. Overall an excellently run trip in a beautiful part of Italy.
Standing with my hand in a hole in the crater of mount Vesuvius feeling the hot air!
Albert was a great leader, even though he was ill for the first few days of the trip. He continued with the walks regardless even when I'm sure he would rather have been in bed with a lemsip than guiding us around Amalfi.
Be aware there is a lot of climbing and steps both up and down hill. My calves were certainly made aware of this after the 2000+ steps downhill to Amalfi on day 2!
I loved every aspect of the holiday, varied walks in beautiful scenery, the group was great fun, our leader Alejandro whose enthusiasm was contagious and the friendliness of a family hotel. We had some weather but nothing dampened our enjoyment of ths wonderful holiday.
Cresting a hill to look down on the Sorrento peninsula stretching far out to sea and Positano way below us, stunning.An impromtu Salsa dancing party on our last nightWalking around the rim of Vesuvis
Totally wonderful: enthusiastic, patient, funny, he got to know everyone really quickly and we were soon a real family. I cannot praise Alejandro enough.
Ask to be in Alejandro's group!
Excellent holiday in spite of some poor weather
Walk of the Gods
Albert was excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly and thoughtful.
Try to get a room with a balcony.
It was a very nice holiday and organised well. I would definitely use Exodus again; however, I would look for something a bit more challenging. Eric the leader was excellent and really helpful plus he was great fun too.
Vesuvius and the waterfall walk.
Eric the group leader was excellent. Top man!!
If you are used to a lot of exercise it will likely not be challenging enough for you; however, it is a great trip.
I had an amazing week in the Italian countryside. The hotel and staff were so kind and hospitable . The food was incredible and I loved the cooking demonstrations. Our Leader Christine was not only extremely knowledgeable extremely insightful, but very kind and looked after every member in the group. She taught us a lot about Italy and the Amalfi region. Our group of complete strangers ended up as a family within a short time. The hikes were absolutely breathtaking. So glad I did this trip and cannot wait for my next Exodus experience.
So many...The Walk of the Gods, Positano. Taking the boat from Positano to Amalfi at the end of the trip to see where we hiked from a different perspective. Smaller wonderful local moments--having lemon soda at Antonio's local restaurant after our first day of hiking. visiting Pompeii and hiking around the rim of Mt. Vesuvius--walking to the town square and attending the local comedy festival in front of the beautiful church and enjoying the electrifying wonderful emergy of the Italian people and realizing it didn't matter that I did not understanding a word of Italian when the comedians did their routines! Ripe tomatoes, fresh pasta, lemons, fresh fish.....
Fantastic, first-rate, encouraging, funny, thoughtful and very kind
Sign up for this amazing adventure!
The trip is wonderful and enhanced by the family run accomodation, the food and the wine! Staying high up in Bommerano gave you a local flavour and meant the nights were lovely and cool and mossies absent. I think the walking was more demanding than some expected especially the steps down into Amalfi and Positano.
Climbing the mountain above the village and looking down on the Sorrento peninsula Naples and Vesuvius.
Our group leader Christine was excellent, knowledgeable and welcoming. She had an enthusiasm for her subjects, was extremely well read and knew the local ways and problems, especially with transport to and from the village!
Make sure your legs are ready for downward steps of 2 to 3 thousand in one day!
The walking was tougher than we expected, and it was quite hard going in the hot weather (around 30C). Although my wife and I coped well, others suffered a bit. The pace was about right for us, but it was a little regimented – only being allowed "cake stops" at certain points etc. Our leader did stop whenever people were slowing down though to keep the group together. Our group of 18 all got on fine and we chatted in small groups whilst walking, and relaxed by the pool before and after dinner. The hotel was nice – excellent food and staff, although some had problems with their air-con.
Seeing the Amalfi coastline from the Walk of the Gods.
Our guide Christine was really good, spoke fluent Italian and seem to know half the locals. She's nice and friendly and managed the trip expertly.
Good company, lovely walks – a mixture of leisurely and more challenging but the challenges were worth it for the fantastic views which would otherwise have been missed.
Visits to Pompii and Herculaneum (where were enlightened by different, but equally knowledgeable and amusing local guides) - they are fascinating but poignant places. Vesuvius - an 'angry' and inhospitable place which contrasted starkly with the beautiful scenery we had enjoyed until then. Views along 'The Walk of the Gods' really were breathtaking - a manageable trek, but you felt you had achieved something by 'gelato' time down in Positano. 16 people laughing as they were so wet you could wring them out and 16 pairs of walking boots, socks and rucksacks in the bottom of the pizza oven - hilarious!
Eric was great - I believe he was relatively new to this particular tour but he really took the time to find out about the area, and came back the next day with answers to any questions asked that he didn't immediately know the answers to. He understated his immensely impressive background in outdoor pursuits but this was apparent as he demonstrated skills as a competent, considerate and supportive leader. He had discretely assessed each members capabilities and personal challenges and was always there when a bit of encouragement or reassurance was needed. At mealtimes he was a convivial and engaging member of the group and appeared to really enjoy himself ... which is what you want from a leader.
Don't trust the weather forecast - 'slight chance of showers' could mean thunder, lightening, hail and flash flooding!! Ask for rice if your electronic equipment gets waterlogged (it dries them out a treat if you are patient). Try and do some calf exercises before you go as the steps rendered everyone's muscles sore after over 2,000 down into Amalfi - even hardened walkers.Look up - easy to focus on the path and steps but stopping and looking around is what it's all about.
I was nervous, as this was my first Exodus holiday and I was on my own, but I felt totally relaxed from the moment I arrived. This was due to the excellent skills of our guide Christine. Moreover the trip was extremely well organised and the hotel was excellent. There were a good range of walks, which were all amazing.
I really enjoyed walking around the rim of Mt Vesuvius. Swimming in the sea at the end of a hot walk.
Absolutely fantastic. Professional, informative, caring and she set the right pace.
I would say the walks were more moderate but carried out at a leisurely pace so make sure you are reasonably fit and can walk down steps.
