THE AMALFI COAST
Very enjoyable trip in a beautiful part of Italy. Lovely walks, great leader and fun group of fellow travellers.
THE AMALFI COAST
An excellent experience. The area is beautiful, the hotel has good accomodation and very good food. The walking was enjoyable with stunning views. The leader was very good and the group bonded superbly. The trips to Pompeii and Herculaneum are fabulous.
Most Inspirational Moment
The views of Positano from the Walk of the Gods are stunning.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very pleasant and thorough. She added a lot to the enjoyment of the holiday.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do it-assuming you like walking and have an average level of fitness.
THE AMALFI COAST
This is an excellent trip with a superb itinerary. All of the walks were enjoyable, with ‘the walk of the gods’ being a great climax. The Amalfi coast is beautiful and I would particulary recommend the trip to Ravello. Pompeii, Herculaneum and Veusuvius were all fascinating places to visit.
Most Inspirational Moment
The visits to Pompeii and Herculaneum were particularly interesting...they vividly bring to mind what it must have been like for the inhabitants when Vesuvius erupted. On the day that we visited Herculaneum, they opened the gates at the old sea front where over 300 skeletons were found...the remains of those who were still waiting for boats to take them to safety...Herculaneum has an eerie silence in contrast to the tourist bustle of Pompeii and it was particularly powerful moment when we were able to 'peak into Desolation Row' where these skeletons have laid for 2000 odd years...
Thoughts on Group Leader
Christine was a very good group leader. She had excellent knowledge of the local situation and knew when it was best to arrange private transport rather than rely on the public buses! She made sure that we had very good local guides when visiting Vesuvius and Pompeii. She knew the best places to go for food and drink in all of the locations we visited.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This trip is more expensive than the upfront costs...there tend to be add-ons which you cannot resist and the Amalfi coast is not as cheap as some places!
THE AMALFI COAST
This was my first experience of a walking holiday, so I was a little apprehensive at first. However, as soon as I arrived, I knew the holiday was going to be something special. Our guide, Christine was absolutely lovely as well as being really knowledgeable and made the week really interesting. Added to that, a great group of people of all ages and good accomodation and food, made for a truly wonderful holiday.
Most Inspirational Moment
Quite honestly, there were so many breathtakingly beautiful sights of the coastline as we walked above it, that it's hard to pinpoint a single moment. However, pushed to choose one -I really loved Ravello and the views from Villa Cimbrone were pretty near to my idea of Paradise!
Thoughts on Group Leader
As I've said above, Christine our guide was great. I immediately warmed to her and as wellas being very organised, she was also full of fun and very engaging. She was also very encouraging to everyone and I can't speak highly enough of her - she contributed enomously to the enjoyment of the holiday experience.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Although rated as leisurely/moderate, I would say this holiday leans more to the moderate end when temperature ( I travelled at the end of June) is taken into consideration. I was in two minds whether to invest in a walking stick, but found to my surprise, that it was invaluable for walking both up and down hills.I travelled with a friend - a little concerned about going on my own - but having now experienced this type of holiday with Exodus, I would have no worries about going it alone next time.
THE AMALFI COAST
An excellent trip.
Lovely hotel with really friendly helpful staff,great food in abundance .
Fantastic scenery.
Most Inspirational Moment
I loved the walk in the Valle delle Ferriere national park. The waterfalls in the locked part of the park were stunning! The trip organised by Eduardo on the free day - Herculaneum was very interesting ,made more so by the excellent guide we had there. We had the place almost to ourselves. This was followed by a drive through the mountains to Ravello. Ravello is the most beautiful place ,with absolutely stunning views .Several of us fell in love with the place. The Villa Cimbrone was the highlight for me! The famous Terrace of Infinity being the highlight.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very good.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The first days walk is quite a shock to the system , the first half being all uphill-steps, road,track and finally a steep scramble to the top. I learnt that it's best to take it at your own speed and don't be tempted to try and keep up with those that are ahead! this is not a leisurely walk! The other days were much easier , for me anyway. A walking pole is a help for the rocky scrambly bits especially downhill and for those hundreds of steps down to the coast.
THE AMALFI COAST
A fantastic weeks holiday for both experienced walkers and novices.
Most Inspirational Moment
For me it was the chance to visit Herculaneum on the free day, as it was somewhere i,ve been meaning to visit for a few years now. The walk around the crater of Vesuvius was also rather special. The moment that I will also remember for ever is proposing to my partner and her saying yes. Need to think of a great Exodus venue for the next stage.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Christine was an absolute gem. Great sense of humour and nothing was too much for her. To be honest most Exodus leaders are really good but Christine is one of the best.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Book now. The walking is both scenic,varied and not too difficult even for non walkers.
THE AMALFI COAST

If she plays her cards right, she can have me!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Read the trip notes. This holiday is everything it says on the tin.
THE AMALFI COAST (TDA)
A very enjoyable week’s walking and sight-seeing. Just what I was looking for for a easy, hassle-free trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
I'd always wanted to see Vesuvius up close and to visit Herculaneum (I've been to Pompeii before but I was happy to go again).
Thoughts on Group Leader
Liz was excellent. Helpful, friendly and inspiring confidence. Also, she struck the right balance between keeping us organised and not being too fussy or controlling. Full marks.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Steps! The walks on this holiday do involve a lot of steps so be warned if that presents you with any difficultires (knees, etc.) Trekking poles can take some of the pressure off but you won't enjoy the walks if you struggle with the prospect of many hundreds of steps up and/or down on a walk. Don't go expecting to lose weight from the walking as the food is very good and there's plenty of it.
THE AMALFI COAST
I loved every minute, as a non walker, found some of the uphill walks tough, but was so pleased that I actually completed them, the views were well worth it.
Most Inspirational Moment
Actually completeing the walks with the terraine.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Group leader was excellent, she was friendly, considerate, knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed her job.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't miss out on this trip.
THE AMALFI COAST
A thoroughly enjoyable week in fantastic surroundings. Plenty of picture postcard views on the varied walks.The weather was great all week and even when one walk started with low cloud drifting through the trees it soon cleared to reveal the views.I went on my own and the group were a great bunch to spend the week with.Very nice family run hotel serving some top food. Overall a great mix of walks and sightseeing
Most Inspirational Moment
For me it was visiting Pompeii & Herculaneum with walking round the rim of Versuvius a close second.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Albert did a great job of making sure everyone got the most out of the week. Even though a couple of the trips had to be swapped to different days it actually worked out really well.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be ready for sore calves after all the steps down to Amalfi and Positano :)
