Time of My Life!
Thank you Exodus for such a wonderful adventure from beginning to end.
Our tour guide Stefano was everything you could want and more. Informative, knowledgeable, flexible and lots of fun.
Hotel 2 Torri was outstanding! Set in the beautiful surrounds of the peaceful town of Bomerano. Perfectly located in the Amalfi Coast. The Acampora family welcomed us warmly into their home. Owners Giovanni and Nicola treated everyone as family and their hospitality was excellent!
Manager Gerardo Manna is amazing! A charming host who coordinates top service and waitering. Gerardo excelled in his efforts to meet everyone’s needs. His warm friendliness and consideration must also be noted. A great communicator and people person. Lots of fun!
It was absolutely magical to hike the many surrounding treks of the Amalfi Coast. After each trek we arrived home to Hotel 2 Torri to a relaxing happy hour followed by the most beautiful food made with Italia love. I love to cook and was given the opportunity to help with the cooking demonstrations. The kitchen staff were great!
I had the best time! Many wonderful memories made. I highly recommend this exceptional experience. Vi amo tutti all’ Hotel 2 Torri ❤️
Beautiful part of Italy
Really good trip covering the highlights of the Amalfi Coast. Some of the walking was a bit challenging but overall really enjoyed the experience – and the Path of the Gods was my favourite. It was really nice to stay in one place for the whole week and the food at the hotel was really good. Also liked the demonstrations we had in the kitchen and I have brought a few of the ideas home with me. I also opted to go yo Herculaneum on my free day which I enjoyed far more than Pompeii.

Walking the Path of the Gods
Thoughts on Group Leader
Stefano was an inspiring and considerate guide making sure that we all enjoyed the experience - quite tricky sometimes as we were all had different levels of experience with hiking.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for some challenging sections which are made harder when the weather is hot

Wonderful scenery walking paths in various conditions with plenty of steps
Most Inspirational Moment
Coming around corners to the most breathtaking scenery in the world
Thoughts on Group Leader
Louise and Veriano enthusiastic guides, Veriano had lots of local knowledge. It was best when they could break the group up to walk at their own pace
Advice for Potential Travellers
Get hills and steps in your legs before trip and wear light clothing that can breathe, I love my woollen T-shirt

The walks and views were as good as I hoped for
Most Inspirational Moment
The path of the gods was the highlight for me and the walk from Ravello was next
Thoughts on Group Leader
Louise was very easy to get on with
Advice for Potential Travellers
To get the most enjoyment you need to be a regular walker who used to hills steps and some rocky trails
Amazing! But be mindful of the steps 😉
Our guide, Louise Russell, was absolutely amazing and made sure that everything was always running smooth. Hubby and I only brought running shoes instead of proper hiking boots and to do it again, we would bring light hiking boots that have ankle support. I accidentally fell on the first hike (totally my fault… Looked back while still walking and rolled my ankle) and ended up spraining my ankle. Louise was fabulous in providing first aid and giving me options to meet the group at different locations the following days.
The rooms are simple, very clean and comfortable. The food is plentiful and very good. Highly recommend this tour!
Most Inspirational Moment
Hiking mount Vesuvius with the special guide and really going into the crater. The group of people that formed our group were really amazing and that also made a big difference.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Louise is simply fantastic, professional, enthusiastic, compassionate, knowledgeable, easy going, funny, motivating, etc. She is truly passionate about the outdoors and is so well suited for this job! Loved her and so thankful we ended up in her group. The other leaders also gave us a very good impression.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Know that you'll be doing alot of steps and they are not city steps... Uneven, rocky steps and mostly going down. Hiking poles do help and the hotel Due Torri has some for free borrowing. Bring extra money for tipping the bus drivers, staff, and your leader as well as for drinks at the bar and wine with supper if desired.
Another Excellent Walking Holiday with Exodus
Well organised, the guide Tony was faultless, knowledgeable and great company. The hotel was a lovely family run place and nothing was too much effort for the staff. The walks themselves just got better and better each day, ending with the ‘Walk of the Gods’. It was our second trip with Exodus and we have booked for next year already.

Excellent holiday with a great guide and group of fellow travellers
We could not have wished for a better holiday. The guide, Stephano, was ideal for our group. He was patient, humorous and concerned for our wellbeing. He also arrange for our weather to be fantastic for the week. The walks had that Goldilocks aspect to them, not too hard yet not too easy. And what fantastic scenery and food. The hotel staff were excellent and made us all feel welcome.

Hard to choose as so much was so good. Loved the Walk of the Gods, Ravello, Vesuvius and Herculaneum.

Go with an open mind.
Amalfi - 7 to 24 September 2019
Wonderful holiday! Everything was well organised, comfortable accommodation, delicious food, good company and of course stunning landscape. Thank you to our excellent guide Stefano, you made the excursions fun and stress- free for us.
Am just sorry it is over.
Most Inspirational Moment
Herculaneum was fascinating. It's hard to choose a favourite walk, probably the walk from Rapallo wins by a small margin.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Stefano is an excellent tour guide, informative and patient and well- organised. Thank you Stefano!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Practise walking up- and downhill a bit..
Trip of a Lifetime
Walking and trekking the Amalfi Coast.
Most Inspirational Moment
The whole tour was inspirational. Everything from the places we visited, the walks to get there and the dinners at night with our group.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Stefano was fantastic , funny, knowledgeable and a great guy to have as a guide. Would highly recommend him to others and will ask for him when I organise my next tour.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you are looking for a relaxing, leisurely paced walking tour.. this one isn’t for you.
Just book it!! ... & do get yourself fit beforehand
I’ve read the majority of the other reviews which cover everything I’d also want to say. It’s honestly a fabulous trip and you definitely won’t be disappointed. Loved it!
If you’re going outside of July and August, I’d suggest taking some warm clothes/fleece with you as it gets cold at night. I’d also suggest an extension to your trip for 2-3 nights if you’ve time, to just relax on the beach or to stroll around a resort or even Naples afterwards, as there’s little rest and relaxation time throughout the week.
The staff at the hotel are lovely – so genuinely warm and welcoming. The village where you stay is quiet yet a charming and authentic place. & the tour leader Stefano made a huge effort to interact with and to get to know everyone individually.
Most Inspirational Moment
I wasn’t at all focused on going to Mt Vesuvius, but loved climbing up to the rim of the volcano. Stefano the vulcanologist was really knowledgeable and made it easy to understand (even for dummies like me!). An achievement to climb to the top, with fabulous views and a unique experience.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Stefano was great and found an excellent way of combining being a leader, whilst helping the group to really gel and simply being a part of the group. He took so many photos of all of us throughout the week, capturing various moments of fun, laughter, walking, climbing etc. He had a huge amount of energy and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly (just get a new pair of reading glasses 😂). We all loved having a native leader and enjoumyed his laidback nature and style, knowing that he was still in charge when needed.
Advice for Potential Travellers
* If you’re not already fit, then follow the training schedule Exodus sends you and start following it at least six weeks in advance. It’ll make your trip more enjoyable. I’d also rate this trip more of a grade 3. * Take warm clothes (fleeces, jeans, jackets) for the evenings and early mornings. Bomerano is high up and gets cold. Take some cold/throat medication too, just in case * Take a pair of flip flops/thongs for times when you don’t need your walking boots. Often we changed out of our shoes along the way. * Don’t expect hours of free time to explore the resorts (eg Positano, Ravello and Amalfi). View this trip as more of a taster to see where you’d like to go back to another time.
