AMALFI COAST & BAY OF NAPLES

A great holiday with lots of variety from ruins and lesiurely walks to just wandering around the beautiful little places in and around Amalfi

Most Inspirational Moment

Hard to pick one, the walk of the gods was truly amazing. Ravello, positano and Amalfi all beautiful in their own way. We were lucky enough to go to sorrento too which was lovely to. The ruins at herculaeum were spectacular and well preserved which enabled you to really get a feel for the place

Thoughts on Group Leader

Christine was great, each evening we had a meeting in the hotel and we were given an iternary of the following days events. She was very personable and made the holiday very special for us all in the group.

AMALFI COAST & BAY OF NAPLES

A well-balanced mix of spectacular sight-seeing, phenomenal history and leisurely walks around the Amalfi Coast and Bay of Naples. Fantastic accommodation and delicious food were a bonus.

Most Inspirational Moment

So many inspirational moments. Visiting the surprisingly well-preserved "ruins" of Herculaneum, followed by a walk up Mount Vesuvius was a definite highlight. The 'Walk of the Gods' was breathtaking as were Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. The vast area of Pompeii (optional trip) was equally awe-inspiring.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader, Christine Rooney - deservedly one of Exodus's highly commended leaders of 2010 - was absolutely terrific. She was incredibly enthusiastic throughout the holiday and has a great sense of humour. She is highly knowledegable and passionate about each area visited and made each day memorable and fun. Her organisational skills were also second-to-none.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I have no reservations about recommending this trip. If you like historical sites, impressive scenery, fresh air, amazing food and wine then you need look no further. Groups will vary from trip to trip I'm sure, but i definitely struck gold with my fellow travellers. The hotel offers Exodus customers free internet access should you wish to Skype home with your smart phone. Make sure you wear a pair of sensible shoes for the Vesuvius walk and Walk of the Gods - I saw people struggling with flip-flops! Naples is gritty - bear in mind it's a city - every surface seems to have graffitti on it. The museum in Naples is definitely worth a trip - with hundreds of equisite statues, impressive mosaics and a rather amusing "over age 14 only" section.

AMALFI COAST & BAY OF NAPLES

A sure indication of how enjoyable such trips are, is how the days fly by un-noticed, and indeed with nobody paying any attention to what day of the week it is. From the very first evening we gathered together with Christine, the tour leader, I could see this was going to be a wonderful holiday.

Most Inspirational Moment

Many moments were inspirational in such a short time. From a very personal point of view - following a serious illness two years ago when I could barely walk from one side of my hospital ward to the other, completing the Path of the Gods walk between Bomerano and Positano gave me immense personal satisfaction. A bit of a triumph really, and a tad emotional. (Of course, being a bloke I didn't let anyone else see that!)Meeting fellow like-minded travellers on the trip, interacting with local villagers in Bomerano, feeling the general ambience of our surroundings, experiencing the culture and history, and touching the psyche of the people - all these things were quite inspirational and uplifting.

Thoughts on Group Leader

None of these things mentioned above would have been possible without the input from Christine Rooney. I can confidently say that Christine's professionalism, communication skills, local knowledge, accomplished mastery of the language, her lovely manner, her whole approach to what is a responsible and demanding role is second to none. She was the principal reason for bringing this stunning and beautiful part of Italy to life - from plain words in a book or names on a map, she changed them into a rich and vibrant reality that will remain in our memories for life. I have made many trips now with Exodus over the years, and while every leader has been excellent, Christine ranks as the finest.

Advice for Potential Travellers

No - they are all grown adults.

AMALFI COAST & BAY OF NAPLES

An absolutely brilliant trip with a lovely group of people. Wonderful food, scenery and great hotel. Everyday was a completely different experience – a tour with great variety and something for everyone.

Most Inspirational Moment

Standing looking into the steaming crater of Mount Vesuvius was amazing. The ruins at Pompeii were simply awesome with a wonderful sense of the region's history.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Christine was brilliant - her local knowledge is extensive and she went out of her way to help us get the most out of every day. We were all very grateful for her hard work!

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you are travelling in May its worth taking some warm clothes for the evenings - the temperature in the mountains is quite a bit lower due to the altitude.
