A great area to explore. In my view the holiday should be graded moderate due to the terrain and topography. By its very nature this coast is steep and there are gradients everywhere. Every walk involves thousand of steps. So prospective travellers should be aware.
The family run three star hotel due Torri is lovely set in a pretty village Bomerano. Good food and comfortable rooms. We did find the dining room very noisy though. Picnics are good and tasty.
As usual everything was extremely well organised by Exodus and our lovely guide Teresa was superb.
Visiting Herculaneum and Ravello.
Superb!! Could not fault her.
Please see above about my grading opinion. We are fit but found the walks tough as did many of our group. That said the views are stunning and well worth it.
A very full week of walking and yes, lovely food and wine at the hotel. Amalfi, Positano, Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii, walks in the hills and a touch of coffee culture are the highlights of this trip.
The first view of Positano from the Walk of the Gods is mesmerising and stopped everyone in their tracks. Smiles all round and a great photo opportunity. The winding path brings sight of over-hanging cliffs, running streams, unusual flowers and the best sea view.
Our group leader was excellent - she had a detailed knowledge of the area and set a steady and considered pace for the walking. She had a lovely manner, engaged with the whole group and managed the weather-related changes to the itinerary very effectively.
Be prepared for the "moderate" end of the walks - nothing over straining but the walks might leave you needing a nap in the late afternoon!
This was my first trip abroad since covid and loved it! The walks were amazing, Vania our group leader brilliant, Bomerano and the family hotel a great base and camaraderie of our group was lovely. We luckily had perfect weather for this holiday and as it was early in the season not many other tourists about so almost felt we had it to ourselves. Some of the walks are pretty challenging but so worth it!
Path of the gods was the best day, great views and variety plus paddle in the sea at the end.
Vania was brilliant….. friendly, caring, knowledgeable,organised and fun
Do a bit of prep as the knees can take a bit of a pounding and take walking poles or borrow from the hotel.
It was a great week and it was very well organised and we had a superb guide in Veriano
Path of the Gods
Veriano was absolutely excellent, he was very friendly, very helpful and his local knowledge was first class, I can't speak highly enough about him.
There's a lot of steep descents so walking poles could be useful for this. Walking boots were OK but it was all on paths so good walking trainers would be my preferred foot wear. Some of the paths were quite narrow with severe drops at the side so you'd need to be comfortable with that.
Walking holiday in a beautiful place, lovely scenery and some great photos.
We had snow, wind and sun. We didn’t get to the top of Vesuvius due to snow and ice. A brilliant place and lovely friendly people
I loved the scenery, our group leader was very knowledgeable.
Veriano was lovely, very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.
Just go with the flow. You will have a great time meeting new people. I’m a solo traveler, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, the group of 16 gelled together really well. We had a great time
The trip was completely spoilt for me because there were two Exodus groups on the same trip and much interaction between the two groups.
I have been going on Exodus holidays for over 20 years because I enjoy small groups and the chance to experience the local ambience. On this holiday, I felt as though I was part of a British coach party abroad.
The walking was superb but I was relieved when the holiday was over.
Pompeii
Vania was brilliant.
Expect more than one Exodus group on your holiday, even out of season. Also Exodus clients may be the only guests in the hotel. Be prepared for cold weather including snow and bitingly cold winds, even in March. Walking around the crater of Vesuvius may not be possible due to snow and ice. The food in the hotel was plentiful but uninspiring. No dish was worthy of a photo to send back to the family. The walking is on the high end of leisurely/moderate.
This is a deservedly popular Exodus holiday with a lot of activity packed in to a week. The walking is not especially difficult and has a downhill bias, with many steps to encounter. The Amalfi coast is very scenic and photogenic. Vesuvius dominates the landscape of the Bay of Naples and visits to Pompeii and Vesuvius are naturally included, although we think that a better pairing would be Vesuvius and Herculaneum, the latter being arguably (even) more interesting than Pompeii.
The walking is a necessary part of the holiday to offset the copious quantity of excellent Italian food, wine, gelato etc!! But this holiday also includes trips to Pompeii and Vesuvius which are "must see" sights for those even remotely interested in archeology and history. It was perhaps a pity that the trip to Pompeii was so short (barely 2 hours) but in fairness it was an extremely cold day. The optional trip to Herculaneum was also outstanding - it's a difficult choice to make about whether to do that or go to Capri. I also really enjoyed the visit to the paper factory in Amalfi - a most unusual experience for anyone interested in the early manufacturing processes of paper. No review of an Exodus holiday is complete without mentioning that we shared the holiday with a lovely group of people - our thanks to all for the company and friendship.
Vania was an excellent leader - attentive, sociable, highly personable and clearly popular with hotel staff and others. Her walking style was relaxed, and she allowed people to walk at their own pace whilst still keeping the group together.
This is a great out-of-season holiday - I suspect walking over the very hot summer months could be very tiring. Also, the tourist venues of Pompeii and Herculaneum are so much quieter. However, it can get very cold in Bomerano (snow on the hills), so bring hats, gloves and down jackets in the winter or early Spring weeks.
This trip exceeded my expectations and is one of the best Christmases I have ever had. On Christmas Day, we walked the Path of the Gods under a cloudless blue sky and enjoyed spectacular views of the Amalfi coastline. During five full days walking, we ascended and descended the hillsides, winding our way along pretty pathways and villages, passing through woodland and jumping narrow streams. All the while, we were aware of the impossibly dramatic and beautiful view spread out below us and the coastline fringed with the turquoise sea. We were able to visit Ravello with its picturesque Villa Cimbrone gardens; Amalfi with its stunning cathedral and chic shops and Positano with its wide shoreline (although it was Christmas Day and nothing was open). On one day, we walked around the rim of Vesuvius and even ventured into the crater (quite hot) and followed that with a guided tour of Pompeii. On the last day, some of us took a taxi to Naples to visit the Archeological Museum and sample a perfect pizza from the town of its invention.
Driving back to the hotel along the winding coast road and witnessing the most spectacular sunset I have ever seen.
Our tour leader, Veriano Verde, was excellent and went out of his way to make everything enjoyable for us. He has a good knowledge of the area so was able to tell us lots of interesting things about Agerola. Throughout the trip, he was unfailingly pleasant and helpful. He even gave up his day off to take a group of people up the mountain for a walk that we had had to forego because of the heavy fog.
Take your walking poles and plenty of thin layers as the weather can be cool in the mountains and then hot on the coast.
When I booked this walking holiday over Christmas I knew it would include walking in a fantastic area of Italy with wonderful views but this trip turned out to be so much more! Churches, gardens , history and a mini cooking holiday all included. The trips to Pompeii and Versuvius were both excellent with two knowledgeable guldes. The hotel truly was” family run” and the two evenings we were invited into the kitchen to watch /help prepare the food were interesting and informative. Have to give a special mention to the pizza night which was amazing.
Walking around the rim of the crater at Versuvius.
Severio our guide, was very well organised and efficient but in a relaxed and friendly way which made all the activities so much more enjoyable He was very knowledgeable and his enthusiasm for the area and its food and drink was infectious
I am a regular walker but some of this terrain was challenging, in particular THE STEPS!! Would definitely recommend using walking poles and if you've got bad knees maybe it isn't the holiday for you
A very enjoyable trip during the 2nd winter of the pandemic; would love to go back again at another time of year but fear it would be too busy, this was just perfect. Daily walks with some amazing scenery. Hotel was just as described and run by a family of several generations with care and warmth, helpful in every way.
Walking the Path of the Gods on a gloriously warm sunny day in December. Walking to the highest point of the crater of Vesuvius in mist and cold! 2 different days of such contrast!
Severio is a very experienced leader and is fully aware of the needs of individuals. Just seems to have everything simply organised all the time. Everyone knows him and he's always able to contact someone about something! Great sense of humour and willing to go the extra mile.
There's lots of steps but you walk at your pace and just enjoy the scenery. At least one walking pole is a must.
