Magical island

Beautiful forest and streams, charming towns and a landscape steeped in history. One of the best hikes I’ve done.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking above the small village of Vivario with views of Monte D’Oro was a personal favourite.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The group leader was energetic and engaging. Kept things informal.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Relax, smell the pines and put your feet in the streams. This is the trip to have fun and not be too formal. Watch out for the mid-summer heat though and take enough water.

Mountains & Villages of Corsica

Hotel was far below the expectations I have when compared with the 4 other hikes I have made with Exodus. food was great, service at table was bad in the beginning but got better over time.

Most Inspirational Moment

I always enjoy the group with which I am hiking. Nice to meet people from other parts of the world. the hiking trips are a love of my significant other so I take the trips and like most the commraderie

Thoughts on Group Leader

Roberta was great as she had been for us on the Amafi coast hike a few years ago

Advice for Potential Travellers

The hike is more difficult than other hikes i have taken. It is rated as a 3 but parts of it are more difficult than this has been on other hikes rated a 3. A 3 is described as being acceptable for people with no hiking experience. I disagree that this would be something for people with no hiking experience.

A excellent fun filled week.The group interacted well and bonded

The whole experience was great.Excellent fellow travellers and travelling by train to the start point on most days was really enjoyable.The hotel is basic but the food was good.Stopping at a bar at the end of most days was also great.Our guide ,Roberta ,was fun and very knowledgeable

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking part of the GR20

Thoughts on Group Leader

Roberta was amazing and great sense of humour and very caring for all members of the group

Advice for Potential Travellers

The hotel is basic but functional.Take a travel kettle if you want a cup of coffee when you first wake up.Also the hotel does not have hair dryers .Also take some snacks for walking as the local village has limited supplies

Mountains and Villages of Corsica

Beautiful scenery and views in the mountains .
Hotel: my room was a little ‘tired’. Evening meals were mostly tasty and creative. The chef was able to accommodate a gluten free choice. Choice of Packed lunches and fruit was available, and although it would have been good to have been offered cake as well😂
The walks each day were very interesting and at times were challenging underfoot and the ascents, for me personally were challenging. Use of local train network was very advantageous.

Most Inspirational Moment

The last day which was an exceptionally challenging walk with steep ascents, some needing me to use some scrambling in places. The views, terrain, and waterfalls were all worth all the effort.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very knowledgeable re Corsican culture, traditions, and history. Punctual, friendly and informative.

Advice for Potential Travellers

I was pleased I had put in some training to improve my level of fitness. Comfortable waterproof walking boots are essential.

Excellent walking holiday

Corsica was much more mountainous and greener than we had expected. The walks were through beautiful countryside and it was great fun using the local railway to start/end some of the walks. Most of the paths were good, but some were quite steep and one had been eradicated by the wild pigs (but the guide found the path again!) We were lucky to have sunny weather all week, so all planned walks were achievable, though some may not have been possible if it had been wet.

Most Inspirational Moment

Reaching the Richjusa Gorge after bouldering up the river - not suitable for everyone!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Absolutely excellent - great fun, wonderful english (he was Italian), very knowledgeable, coped well with the gruop who had very different walking speeds

Advice for Potential Travellers

Always carry a lightweight waterproof coat and rucksack cover a syou never know when it may rain

A wonderful trip in beautiful landscapes

A great week in a beautiful place with excellent food, a charming hotel and a fun leader. All you could ask for…

Most Inspirational Moment

Bathing in the beautiful clear blue waters of the rivers to relieve the heat of the day...so - very luckily - this moment happened every day we walked.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He ( Alejandro) was excellent - capable and informed and fun. Sensible (safe) without being patrician. He was perfect for the job.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go on this holiday!! And take good walking boots.

Highly recommended

After waiting 2 years it was good to eventually be able to go on this trip. The organisation was perfect, and although only 2* the stay was in a traditional family hotel with friendly staff, a clean and comfortable room, and a good shower to end the day with. The views from my room were spectacular, and the evening meals were superb.
All the walks were of the standard I expected, and all in beautiful surroundings. It was interesting to take the local train to the start point of each walk on most days.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader was excellent. He was so enthusiastic, explained clearly what each day's walk would entail, and ensured the group walked at a pace suitable for all, with plenty of water stops (needed in the heat).

Advice for Potential Travellers

A bit of advance research may assist you in deciding what to do on the free day, whether to go to Ajaccio or Corte, or indeed do another walk. I would recommend taking most money in cash - the hotel only took cash for settling the drinks bill, cash was needed for tips (hotel and leader), and often restaurants and cafes seemed to prefer cash (even in Ajaccio) although the train and shops were OK with card. The problem is that the only ATMs are in Corte or Ajaccio if you run short! I think there should be better advice about the airport transfers. We changed flights at Nice on the outward and Marseilles on the return. Both airports were very difficult and confusing as to how to changes terminals (even though close together in both cases). Many of us found it tricky, so I don't think it was just me!

Superb Holiday

It’s great when all the elements for a superb holiday come together:- hotel, food, walks, scenery, weather, the other walkers, and the guides – a wonderful holiday in a lovely location.

Most Inspirational Moment

Walking up through pine and beech forest on the GR20 to the Bocca Palmente pass. And then, after the walk, sitting in a small bar by the Vizzavona train station, with a cold drink whilst listening to some calming music and chatting to the other walkers.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jenny had done a great amount of research of the walks and the area before we arrived, and led us at a kind pace through lovey walks. She had a lovely personality and ensured everyone enjoyed the whole trip (thanks!). Alex also accompanied us and was a great enthusiastic companion too.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It can be very hot on Corsica so choose the time of year that you feel is best for you.

A wonderful adventure

The week was full of outstanding beauty, different terrains, rock pools to swim in, bird life and flowers

Most Inspirational Moment

No particular moment...it was all inspirational

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent! I’ve been on many Exodus trips...he was the best yet!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Walking poles are very useful. Some of the walking is on very rocky terrain and descending can be hard...useful to have poles to steady oneself. Take your swimwear! The rock pools are lovely.

Amazing Holiday

This was my first walking holiday. Martin Goddard is an exceptional guide. The whole holiday was very well organised from start to finish. The walks were as described and the scenery was amazing. The group were fantastic, very supportive and great fun. Highly recommended.

Most Inspirational Moment

The amazing views and swimming in Rock Pools. Seeing a golden eagle was pretty special too!!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Amazing

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go for it. There's lots of support. The advice given by exodus is very accurate.
