WALKING THE AMALFI COAST
Good leader trying to cope with many levels of fitness – difficult as a couple of people really struggled up any incline, needing long rest periods, which became a little boring at times. Hotel was friendly & comfortable with good facilities & good food. Some lovely scenery & views. Bomerano is unfortunately lacking in charm & interest.
Most Inspirational Moment
Views from Ravello (not on itinerary)
Thoughts on Group Leader
Hard working & conscientious. Very personable & a good mixer
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for wet weather at any time. Take a poncho to protect you & your daypack

Memorable for:the people, the scenery, the walks, the fun and laughter which contributed to creating an unforgettable experience.
Most Inspirational Moment
Our visit to Herculaneum which provided an insight into the lives of the inhabitants and their environment. The walk to the top of Vesuvius and around the crater rim where steam could be seen rising from the crater. The reaching of "the final flight of steps " on several occasions and the arrival at our destination where Christine would guide us toward a welcome café.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Her warm greeting of our party at the airport set the tone for our week's stay. Her professionalism was manifest in her extensive knowledge of the Amalfi coast, the walks and of the local community; its characters and history. It was also evident that she is welcomed and respected by those who live and work in Bomerano.She was also adept at motivating the group when necessary through her catchphrases and snackettes.Thank you Christine for all your hard work.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared: footwear that is comfortable and supportive, walking poles ( just in case you find yourself gently toppling over!), if you do not like flights of steps try a different holiday.

This is a superb holiday with just the right mix of walking and sight-seeing. The group leader was outstanding and the hotel staff superb.

Walking around the rim of Vesuvius.Visiting Herculaneum.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Christine is the best group leader that I have ever had and an absolute asset to Exodus. She is a consummate professional. From the minute she met us at the airport until the minute we left she smiled. Christine has built up an enormous network of contacts within the local community which meant that the holiday ran without a hitch. At various moments she produced little treats for us, all paid for out of her own pocket. Christine's knowledge of the local area is second to none. This holiday would not have been the same without Christine's guidance and humour.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Prepare for steps!The neighbours can be quite lively.

My husband and I did this trip August 2013. Jaw dropping scenery, amazing hospitality at our Bomerano Hotel and awesome fellow walkers.
Most Inspirational Moment
So many inspirational moments...Herculaneum and then standing on the rim of Mt Vesuvius are probably the stand outs.
Thoughts on Group Leader
What absolutely made the trip was having Christine as our tour leader. Such an amazing knowledge of the area, very professional at all times but with that cheeky smile and laugh on show constantly. Such a vivid imagination and lots of funny little stories to keep us amused. Little treats from her "Mary Poppins" bag were totally unexpected but a lovely personal touch from her. Without doubt Christine is the best tour leader we have ever had.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for steps, steps and more steps....but it is sooooo worth it.

Be prepared for very hot days in July, especially walking between the walls on villages, they seemed like an oven sometimes.

The holiday did not disappoint in any way. The views are absolutely stunning and far exceeded my expectations. We felt that we had a great chance to see a good deal of the peninsula. It was an excellent location leading off in all directions.
Most Inspirational Moment
The first day when we reached the saddle and saw the view down to Positano was just fantastic. Also, leaving Positano by boat and seeing, when the boat took us back to Amalfi, where we had walked over the week was excellent.

He was very knowledgeable and sociable and handled his group very well.

Be prepared for the 2000 steps. Everyone suffered with stiff muscles in the days following.

Christine was a consumate professional guide. Without her knowledge of the area and all the personal involved, the trip would not be as successful as it was.
