Fantastic holiday beautiful sights an amazing area to visit. The tour guide Martina Cipolla could not have done more. She was very knowledgeable open friendly and great at making sure everyone’s abilities were catered for. The hotel was lovely friendly staff food was brilliant.
The prerfect mix
Walking the Amalfi Coast exceeded my expectations. The mix of moderate walking at a gentle pace in stunning scenery mixed with staying in a friendly family hotel with great hospitality and fabulous Italian food.
Most Inspirational Moment
The views from the Walk of the Gods
Thoughts on Group Leader
Severio our guide was one of the best guides I have come across in 20 years of walking holidays. Thank you.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Lots and lots of steps so you need good knees . Recommend walking poles. Not difficult but Amalfi is either up or down.
A great first group guided holiday
A first rate holiday with some great walks and time to relax over some fine lunches in places I would not have found on my own. The hotel was a very peasant family run place and the food delicious. This was our first guided group walking holiday and I intend to do another, quite probably with Exodus, who I thought were great from the first booking call to the holiday itself.
Most Inspirational Moment
The scenery was absolutely wonderful and I enjoyed the company of the group.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leader Severio was excellent. He was well organised, knowledgeable and really led the group up in a nice friendly way. He went the extra mile by doing things like in organising walks/trips for us our day off and the final Saturday.
Advice for Potential Travellers
There is little preparation needed as Exodus take care of you all week. The walking is moderate as the brochure/website suggests. I see in the comments that much is made of steps! There are steps but they do not spoil the walking and frankly are the only practical way of reaching the coast from the village where we stayed.
Setting the Italian bar very high
This was my first trip to Italy (I know, I know, but I love France and it’s closer) and its hard to imagine that any other trip could be as good at this one. The Amalfi coast scenery is simply spectacular, and beautiful. Our guide, Severio, was excellent and entertaining and unobtrusively shepherded our group along the cliff top paths. The hotel was good too, with excellent well balanced food, friendly staff, and cocktails by the pool. And I learned how to spin pizza dough to make a nice round pizza, something I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to do for years. Definitely in the top three holidays of my life. Fab.
Most Inspirational Moment
The Path of the Gods. The views are better than the hype, they really do not disappoint. Vesuvius was pretty special too. Standing on the crater rim, with a 300m drop to the crater floor on one side and Naples spread out below us on the other, brings home how fragile our comfortable lives can be and how small we are compared to the geological might of the Earth.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent. It's harder than it looks being a good group leader, keeping everyone together and managing peoples' different walking paces.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The paths are steep, occasionally exposed, have a lot of steps (literally 000s) and it can be very hot. So you do need to be reasonably fit, not prone to vertigo, and have a 1.5 or 2 litre water bottle minimum with you. Oh, and there's lot of good food and wine, so don't expect to loose any weight! On which note, the carafes of wine at the hotel are good, but the wine by the bottle is no more expensive if you're drinking 2 or 3 glasses and very good quality indeed. So don't just drink the wine provided, explore what else is on offer, it was all excellent.
Excellent trip
This was my fifth holiday with Exodus and once again it was most enjoyable. The combination of spectacular scenery, picturesque towns and visits to Vesuvius and Pompeii make the Amalfi coast an ideal destination to visit. Hotel Due Torri is a comfortable family run hotel. The staff are all friendly and the food is excellent.
Most Inspirational Moment
Great walks with spectacular views and the opportunity to swim some days. The walk round the vast crater of Vesuvius and the visit to Pompeii.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Vania is an excellent guide. She is friendly, knowledgeable and well organised and always has a smile
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be aware that there are a lot of steps on some of the walks and walking poles do help.
Take this trip!
My sister and I have just completed this tour and we absolutely loved it!
The walks were tougher than we expected but worth every aching muscle at the end of each day!
Most Inspirational Moment
Probably the end of the first day when we looked back at our achievement! We also really enjoyed the hike up to Monte Tre Calli although it was probably the most work.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide, Vania, is a lovely young woman, a gem, and a credit to the company. She was well organised, always courteous and ready to laugh and talk with our group. I would happily take another walking trip with Vania.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Use walking poles. And read the reviews! I didn't read many before the trip. We didn't really know it would be so hard on calves and knees. The poles really helped. Also you're looking down a lot to see where you're walking. Don't forget to stop and look at the views. They are truly beautiful!
Brilliant Trip
This is a lovely well-balanced holiday. Some really good walks but also a free day and a day to visit Pompeii and Vesuvius. Hotel staff made us all welcome and served great food.
Most Inspirational Moment
Great walks with spectacular views. Plenty of opportunities to take photos and just take in the scenery, as well as time to swim in some places. Pompeii was just amazing - so much bigger than I ever thought and you see here a Roman city where people lived, traded, went to the theatre, bought food and drink from the various "bars" around the theatres. Then to finish the day with a walk right around the crater rim of Vesuvius. Wow!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader Suzi was wonderful. She loved what she did and enthused about the people and the countryside we walked through. She clearly had made many friends with the locals who all made us very welcome.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Enjoy yourself!
Great hotel Great Food Great Guide
Our second Exodus trip and we were not disappointed . Superb hotel with wonderful friendly staff. Great walks led by Vania our superb guide for the week. The scenery is stunning, our fellow travellers were from all parts of the world and it was a pleasure to have their company for the week
Most Inspirational Moment
The first walk of the week a wonderful circuit of the mountain overlooking the hotel. And all the meals at the hotel which were truly superb!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Vania was truly excellent ensuring all the group felt part of the family. Her expertise and local knowledge were invaluable but more importantly her positive attitude encouragement and sense of humour were undoubtedly what made the holiday so exceptional for us both.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The walks involve numerous steps and going downhill could be a little tough on the calf muscles so make sure you get a little bit of practice in before the trip.!
Great food Great hotel Great guide!
Our second Exodus holiday and we were not disappointed. The glorious scenery and some beautiful walks led by our truly excellent guide Vania was backed up by some wonderful food at our base hotel.
Most Inspirational Moment
The first walk up and around a mountain close to the hotel set the tone got the week. It was strenuous but Vania ensured we all had a comfortable and enjoyable walk.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Truly excellent she ensured everyone in the group was included and felt a part of the family for the whole week.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do a little preparation before you go by tackling some hills . The downhill steps of which there are many can be a little taxing on the calf muscles
Wonderful Vacation tour
First tour with Exodus and Im very impressed. From the initial communication, information prior to leaving and the ease with which everything was accomplished. The hotel was great – clean rooms (there was a norovirus outbreak among several groups and I noticed my room was thoroughly cleaned when it occurred.) The only thing was the pool wasn’t heated – so it was FREEZING. So only used once and very quickly! The hikes were amazing, but I believe this should be rated at a Level 3 not 2. Some hikes were very challenging, averaging 7-8 miles each hike and steep areas, loose shale, etc. One hike had 3,000 stairs along the way, another like 2000. It is a VERY steep area. But our guide was awesome, arrangements were made for one hiker who it was too difficult for. The food was EXCELLENT. The staff amazing and very accommodating and friendly. Visited Capri on the off day and was given lots of information on how to navigate. Pompeii and the hike up Vesuvius were a highlight!!
Allin all I had a great time, meet some incredible people from around the world whom Im sure we will stay in contact with. I will definitely take another Exodus trip!
Most Inspirational Moment
The scenery was stunning. I love history so how (and why) people chose to settle here and just the construction of the trails, stairs, terraces. Pompeii was simply stunning. How people could accomplish what they did and the ingenuity.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mikala was just incredible. Outgoing, friendly, great sense of humor. Felt very secure with her and also the sharing of her knowledge of the region.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Great trip - you will be well taken care of by not only Exodus staff but the hotel and restaurant staff. Just a caution - while the trip was amazing - would probably be rated one level higher. You will need trekking poles. They do have some at the hotel to loan
