Reviews
Add your own reviewExcellent in every way
Excellent organisation throughout and just the right balance of walking and culture. Lots of opportunities to taste and learn about different types. of Prosecco.
Most Inspirational Moment
For me the most inspiring activity was the day trip to Venice in which we had a backstreet tour by the excellent Chloe and a fascinating visit and talk in the studio of a gondola oar maker.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Veriano was assiduous in guiding and looking after us at all times. I really appreciated the extra meals he organised in the evening for us in the early part of the trip. Eating together really helped the 13 of us to gel, and we did. He went above and beyond on our day off helping us plan our trips with train/bus timetables and even menus of local restaurants. He had a great sense of humour which kept us going when the walking was more challenging, 'just five more minutes....'
Advice for Potential Travellers
Quite a few people have written about the ascents and descents. It is true there are plenty of them on this walk and the descents can be slippery if it has been raining. But I don't think you need to be particularly fit to do this holiday. Do consider bringing sticks though. There are also comments in other reviews about low temperatures at the higher altitudes on the final day's walk. Our holiday was the first week of June and I didn't need a fleece or jacket at any point. The weather can be changeable though so bring waterproofs. It is easy to get to Venice on your own on the free day.
What’s not to like!
A very enjoyable week with outstanding sightseeing, hiking, food and wine. We thought the hotel and most of the restaurants were superb.
Most Inspirational Moment
We particularly enjoyed our days in Venice and Treviso with Cleo, but the walks were also all excellent, especially with a well situated hostelry at the end!!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Having walked with Vania in Amalfi we had hoped she would be the leader (not least because we did this trip on her recommendation!). We had Mattia instead who did not disappoint, with a relaxed, affable style and a love of the mountains. Mattia’s walking leadership is excellent - attentive, well paced and allowing everyone to walk at their natural pace. Clearly trained well by Vania!!
Advice for Potential Travellers
The walking is entirely straightforward and easy, although in wet weather or extreme heat they could become more taxing.
Exceded my expectations
This was my first trip with Exodus and it was so good I’m ready to book my next. It all went so smoothly and the activities and people involved were wonderful. It was also my first ever solo travel experience and having other solo travelers in the group was a plus. The rest of my group was also super friendly and welcoming.
Most Inspirational Moment
Hard to pick. I loved riding the e-bikes on our free day and enjoying the beautiful landscapes once we would reach the top in our hikes.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Give Vania a raise! Vania was excellent. She was always patient, knowledgeable and energetic. She set a positive and enthusiastic tone in our group. She went above and beyond and even loaned me some of her own warn clothes when the weather got chillier so I could participate in our last hike. After speaking with other travelers who had gone on other Exodus trips, it’s clear the guide makes a huge difference so I feel very fortunate to have had such a wonderful, fun and kind leader.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This was at times pretty challenging physically. It’s called the Prosecco hills after all! Worth the views and Prosecco but be prepared for some climbs.
Excellent hiking and cultural trip
The trip was well planned out and provided a good mix of hiking and visiting Italian cultural places.
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting Venice and seeing St. Mark's palace and square.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Vania de Paoli - She was excellent - well organized, fun and accommodating to every level.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The level indicated was leisurely/moderate. I would go with moderate, as the hiking was fairly intense.
Felt like a dream
Several days of leisurely walks through the hills of this unique wine growing region.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the Pre Alps and the Dolomites for the first time.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Vania was a wonderful guide. Such knowledge of the area thanks to being born and living there.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Unwind and enjoy the slow pace of the hills life.
Great week hiking and tasting prosecco!
Rolling green hills covered in prosecco vines and wildflowers.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Vania was wonderful, best Exodus leader yet! Friendly, fun and patient. She took great care of our group and provided all details with a daily briefing.
Wonderful Walking in Bubbly Hills
A well organised group tour in a very quiet and stunning part of northern Italy. Right mix of walking, Prosecco tasting and dining in local restaurants.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing all the vineyards with the Glera grapes was beautiful. The walking was good and often went through the vineyards.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader Vania was wonderful. She was always mindful of each individual in the group and made sure all travellers could participate. She had a lovely sense of humour and made sure there was a bar with Prosecco at the end of most walks so we could appreciate the Prosecco Hills fully!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take walking poles. The trip is described as leisurely. However, there are parts on loose stones and some walks had very steep climbs. Walking poles are essential, as some of our party tripped on some paths.
Prosecco for the WIN!
What an amazing first trip to Italy! I joined a very interesting and diverse Exodus group from all walks of life. We stayed in a small Town an hour North of Venice and it was amazing – from local cultures and food to breathtaking walks in the Hills.
Most Inspirational Moment
The walk up Monte Cesen was the most scenic and the rolling hills in Valdobbiadene.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Vania was a super star - Andiamo!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Follow the exodus trip notes and you wont be disappointed.
Wonderful trip!
Beautiful scenery and peaceful pathways in a historic region filled with castles, palaces, and medieval villages. Great week being immersed in everything the region has to offer – amazing food, beautiful views, fascinating history and of course prosecco! The hotel was ideally situated with restaurants nearby. Great experience and highly recommended!
Most Inspirational Moment
Learning how passionate the winemakers are and sampling a variety of prosecco and wines.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Vania De Paoli was amazing with her local knowledge, friendliness and enthusiasm! Sandra was great fun keeping the group entertained on our drives!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Layered clothing and good walking shoes are recommended.
Couldn't have been better
A week walking in the Prosecco Hills couldn’t have been better. The walking was easy going, with picnic lunches (three of the days). We sampled the local wine and learned a lot about it too (I’d never really thought about where this lovely wine came from in Italy before). Visiting the beautiful town of Treviso, we walked by the river on a ‘rest day’. The week went far too quickly and I think most if not all of us wished it could have been longer. We had an exceptional guide, who looked after everyone so well.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing the Dolomites,with a little snow, in the distance. Being shown around a small vineyard that produces fine quality Prosecco. Walking through the vineyards.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We couldn't have asked for a better leader. Full of enthusiasm and always smiling, Vania took care of everyone so well. When a few in the group found it hard to get up the hill due to the heat, she was up and down, making sure that everyone was okay, giving the clearest instructions for those of us who were slightly ahead. She was very impressive in how she was able to take care of a diverse group.
