WALKING THE AMALFI COAST
A great holiday! Our hotel was so nice with such friendly staff and going out of their way to cope with food allergies. Our guide was smashing and our walks were very good. That coastline is so beautiful. The balance of walks, trips to Pompeii etc and free time was a good balance.
Most Inspirational Moment
Climbing down into the rim of Vesuvius! Terrifying but amazing!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Really good.
Advice for Potential Travellers
There are some steep ups and downs and at times the large number of steps can be hard on the legs.

Eric our group leader was great. He organised everything (including the beach experience ) and led us on some amazing walks. He was very friendly and had some good stories to tell.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take a variety of clothes if you go in October as the days can be quite warm but it gets cooler in the evenings.

WALKING THE AMALFI COAST
The trip was excellent from start to finish. The walks were varied, all requiring different muscles from one day to the next! The hotel was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they looked after us all extremely well. One comment would be the rating of the walks as leisurely to moderate, I am pretty fit but wouldn’t have classified any of the walks as leisurely as there was a degree of skill or extra effort required on each day be it downward steps, climbing or being sure-footed on the more exposed pathways. Overall an excellently run trip in a beautiful part of Italy.
Most Inspirational Moment
Standing with my hand in a hole in the crater of mount Vesuvius feeling the hot air!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Albert was a great leader, even though he was ill for the first few days of the trip. He continued with the walks regardless even when I'm sure he would rather have been in bed with a lemsip than guiding us around Amalfi.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be aware there is a lot of climbing and steps both up and down hill. My calves were certainly made aware of this after the 2000+ steps downhill to Amalfi on day 2!

It was a very nice holiday and organised well. I would definitely use Exodus again; however, I would look for something a bit more challenging. Eric the leader was excellent and really helpful plus he was great fun too.

If you are used to a lot of exercise it will likely not be challenging enough for you; however, it is a great trip.

I had an amazing week in the Italian countryside. The hotel and staff were so kind and hospitable . The food was incredible and I loved the cooking demonstrations. Our Leader Christine was not only extremely knowledgeable extremely insightful, but very kind and looked after every member in the group. She taught us a lot about Italy and the Amalfi region. Our group of complete strangers ended up as a family within a short time. The hikes were absolutely breathtaking. So glad I did this trip and cannot wait for my next Exodus experience.
Most Inspirational Moment
So many...The Walk of the Gods, Positano. Taking the boat from Positano to Amalfi at the end of the trip to see where we hiked from a different perspective. Smaller wonderful local moments--having lemon soda at Antonio's local restaurant after our first day of hiking. visiting Pompeii and hiking around the rim of Mt. Vesuvius--walking to the town square and attending the local comedy festival in front of the beautiful church and enjoying the electrifying wonderful emergy of the Italian people and realizing it didn't matter that I did not understanding a word of Italian when the comedians did their routines! Ripe tomatoes, fresh pasta, lemons, fresh fish.....

The trip is wonderful and enhanced by the family run accomodation, the food and the wine! Staying high up in Bommerano gave you a local flavour and meant the nights were lovely and cool and mossies absent. I think the walking was more demanding than some expected especially the steps down into Amalfi and Positano.
Most Inspirational Moment
Climbing the mountain above the village and looking down on the Sorrento peninsula Naples and Vesuvius.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader Christine was excellent, knowledgeable and welcoming. She had an enthusiasm for her subjects, was extremely well read and knew the local ways and problems, especially with transport to and from the village!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure your legs are ready for downward steps of 2 to 3 thousand in one day!
