THE AMALFI COAST

A really fantastic holiday – exceeded my expectations. The walks were truly spectacular, through lemon groves, beech woods and along the most beautiful coastal paths. Calves still aching from all the steps up and down, but still fun! Really great group of fellow walkers who made the days a really enjoyable experience and were great company. Wonderful, family run hotel with the most fantastic 4 course dinners and nice accommodation. Very well organised week – didn’t have to think of anything! We had a number of options for our free day and they all turned out to be very good.

Most Inspirational Moment

Loved all the following things:The amazing food, stunningly beautiful coastal walks, ferry trip back from Positano, our free day spent at the Ravello gardens.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader Liz, was brilliant. She was very well organised and all the days plans ran like clockwork. She looked after us all very well and gave excellent briefings each night - so that we were well prepared for the next day. She was kind and very considerate towards everyone. She was super fit and walked up and down the coastal paths with ease!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't forget waterproof's - the weather on the mountains changes rapidly. You definitely need a good pair of walking shoes for this holiday. A long pair of lightweight trousers helps - as there are a lot of grasses and bushes on the edge of the coastal paths. A few of us got rashes on our ankles and lower legs.

THE AMALFI COAST

Wonderful scenery, great company, good food – and plenty of it – in a friendly hotel. Some of the walking was a little more challenging than we had anticipated (so many steps!) but, none the less, a good first walking holiday.

Most Inspirational Moment

Much of the scenery was breathtaking - it would be too difficult to pick out a single example.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Albert was brilliant. His local knowledge and network of local contacts ensured we got the best out of the holiday.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't forget the sunscreen. I managed to burn my arms on the first day when the breeze masked the power of the sun.Also, I'd never used walking poles before but found them a boon on this trip.

THE AMALFI COAST

Well organised, great scenery, great weather but a bit more than ‘leisurely/moderate’. Lots and lots of steps that caused some people to be very sore.

Most Inspirational Moment

The tiny nature park in the woods above Amalfi with the waterfalls and mosses

Thoughts on Group Leader

Well organised and very helpful

Advice for Potential Travellers

Lots of steps. vast majority down, and some rough sections. Get in training and take poles

THE AMALFI COAST

A really well planned holiday with plenty to do . Lovely walking, fantastic wild flowers and lemons everywhere!!

Most Inspirational Moment

Most magical moment was when walking in the National Park through the valley of the Iron Mills we entered like a secret garden to see an incredible waterfall. It was really spectacular.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Christine was a great guide , good fun , highly organised and knew a lot about the area

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just come and enjoy it all!

THE AMALFI COAST

I wasn’t sure what to expect having not been away with Exedous before – but everything worked out really well, and I was able to relax and enjoy the holiday.

Most Inspirational Moment

Rather than talk about a single moment, the most inspirational aspect of the trip was definitely the spectacular scenery along the Amalfi Coast, including Mount Vesuvius of course! We got stunning views when we climbed up to the summit of one of the nearby mountains, and almost everywhere we walked, we were treated to a different aspect of the area with its unique combination of lemon groves, ancient buildings, amazing rock formations and precipitous cliffs.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader was everything a group leader should be! She was welcoming, relaxed, friendly, very knowledgeable about the area, very organised, clear with her instructions and enabled 16 complete strangers to immediately gel as a group. She also brought that 'something extra' to the week by producing a bottle of champagne and 16 cups on one of our walks to drink a toast to William and Kate!

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you've not been on an Exedous holiday before - Go For It!!

THE AMALFI COAST

A beautiful part of Italy and an ideal way to see beyond the usually frequented coastal towns.

Most Inspirational Moment

This trip is a great mixture of walking (which, despite being billed as leisurely/moderate, is quite hard on the legs!), visiting the local towns and getting to know the area. Things like the visit to the local cheese-makers were really great, as were the evenings in the kitchen at the hotel. The hotel staff are so friendly.Ravello was a real highlight on the 'free' day, definitely get a suggestion for a restaurant from the guys at the hotel, Eduardo's recommendation was fantastic!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Liz was great!

Advice for Potential Travellers

A lot of the walking involves going up and down lots of steps - the trip notes do warn you about this but I think we all suffered from stiff calves after day 1. If you can do any step training before you so, you'll spare yourself some pain.And if you can bother to learn some basic tourist Italian before you go, it will stand you in good stead, as Bomerano is pretty rural and not all of the locals speak English.

THE AMALFI COAST

Beautiful scenery, stimulating company and a kind, well informed guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walk of the Gods was physically enjoyable and spiritually uplifting. I also enjoyed my free day which I used to discover the wonderful archaeological treasure troves, the architectural diversity and the spectacular and shabby grandeur of Naples.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Liz was professional, gentle, knowledgeable and intuitive. I particularly liked her low key, confident style of leadership which commanded respect and appreciation while at the same time her presence was unintrusive and measured.

Advice for Potential Travellers

A level of technical competence is required in relation to ascending and descending a considerable number of uneven and varied sets of steps which can last over twenty minutes at any one given time. Go at your own pace and be confident enough to invite others to pass you out so that you don't feel presssured.

The amalfi coast was gorgeous, the hotel was amazing, the people were so friendly and the guide was fantastic – need I say more?

Most Inspirational Moment

The walk down the via Krupp on Capri was breathtakingly beautiful.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Barbara was the perfect leader. She knew just how much information to give you, when to get involved and when to leave us alone. She knew the answers to everything and had great rapport with the locals. I don't think we could have had a better guide.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The weather is quite changeable so pack for every eventuality. Also, some of the walks are more challenging than I expected so believe them when they say you need a moderate level of fitness!

THE AMALFI COAST

A lovely break from a harsh UK spring. We were lucky to have fabulous weather and enjoy sunshine on all our walks.

Most Inspirational Moment

The 2nd walk in to Amalfi via the gorge was lovely. The little detour behind the gates, to which the tour leader held the key, to visit the waterfall was magical.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very good.

Advice for Potential Travellers

None.

THE AMALFI COAST

Very much did what it said on the tin – great walks, food and hospitality in a very picturesque setting. Couldn’t imagine eating, drinking or doing as much on the Amalfi coast at anything like the price. Great value.

Most Inspirational Moment

Getting into the fenced-off section of the national park to view the untouched waterfall/scenery. Our guide one of the very few to have a key.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Having been on a few tours now I'm always impressed with the guides but Morten was outstanding. He gets five stars.

Advice for Potential Travellers

We were lucky to go in April, just before the tourist season gets into swing. I suspect May onwards would demand a lot more patience re queuing at sites and strolling around the towns.
