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.
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
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).
What did you think of your 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.
Do you have any 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.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I would say that this trip is correctly graded at Leisurely/Moderate. Some streches are quite strenuous but the walks are quite short with plenty of breaks. All in all, a very enjoyable week.

WALKING THE AMALFI COAST
Written
Another most enjoyable trip with Exodus. The hotel was lovely, good vegetarian options. Unfortunate flight times, but that's incidental really.
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
I think it was the Walk of the Gods. When we went it was interestingly atmospheric, with low cloud then opening out into beautiful blue skies and sparkling sea.
I also really enjoyed the trip to Pompeii; so much to see there.
What did you think of your group leader?
Very competent, informed and approchable. Changed itinerary to suit weather and suggested alternatives when we were prevented to follow usual activities. Also provided snacks and suggested good places for coffee, etc.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
If you are interested in the Romans go to Herculaneum as well as Pompeii, if you can. I thought it was a wonderful experience and the size of the site is more manageable.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Well, whats not to like?
Very enjoyable holiday. For me a very safe and easy way to travel.

THE AMALFI COAST
Written
It was a joy to let others organise everything - and you did it so well! The accommodation and food was extremely good with a great mix of ages and personanlities in the group.
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
After a very short drive we began our walk uphill towards Amalfi and the sun shone!. The scenery was just so interesting: panoramic views of the coast and sea and then down to the gorge in the national park which was stunning and very atmospheric. Finally, to be taken back in time as we passed the old paper mills close to the entrance to the quaint town of Amalfi.
What did you think of your group leader?
Alexandro was constantly bright, welcoming and interesting!
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
We so many steps it is sensible to take knee supports and walking poles.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I was delighted with the whole trip and would certainly book with Exodus again.
Stunning scenery, fresh tasty local food and wonderful hosts in our friendly and relaxed hotel. It was my first walking holiday and certainly won't be my last.
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Seeing the waterfall on the walk through Valle delle Ferriere. A stunning moment that reached all the senses; lingering in silence, watching the water cascade over the mossy stone capturing the sunlight, it was one of the most beautiful natural sights that I have ever seen.
A personal highlight was starting the week like Bambi unable to find my 'walking feet' and ending the week striding along confidently; no hill too high or slope too steep.
What did you think of your group leader?
Ale was really encouraging; he got to know each member of the group and understand their personal strengths and limitations and was able therefore to support each person according to their need.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
It is challenging in places, that's the moderate bit. But you can go at your own pace and that's the leisurely bit. I was relatively inexperienced but I was able to pace myself and my confidence grew throughout the week. Go for it!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
The creamiest mozzarella that I have ever tasted, the steepest hill I have ever climbed and the most laughs I've ever had in a lemon grove!
An amazing trip from start to finish! If you want to experience true Italian hospitality, traditional home-cooked food, and breathtaking coastal views then this is your trip.The Hotel Le Due Torri, nestled in the village of Bomerano, is a lovely family owned hotel where you will want for nothing. Three family generations live here, all with beaming smiles, and really go out of their way to make you feel at home. A highlight of the trip for me, was the wonderful home-cooked Italian fare. On a couple of nights we all got involved in the cooking of pasta, tiramasu, and made pizza in their wood-burning oven, which was great fun.
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
...where to start.....
...from the picturesque villages, to the dramatic coastline, to exploring the ruins of Pompeii, to standing on the rim of Mount Vesuvius itself, to great food and hospitality!
Every walk was different, and just when we thought the highlight of the trip had passed, the following day brought another! The terraced villages clinging precariously to the staggering limestone karsts along the coast was a sight in itself, but inland, the Valle delle Ferriere was an unexpected treat.
What did you think of your group leader?
Our leader was absolutely brilliant; extremely knowledgeable, patient and good humoured. We couldn't have asked for a better leader.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
On the free day, I visited the ruins of Herculaneum in the morning and Ravello in the afternoon, both of which were definately worth it. Herculaneum is a much smaller site than Pompeii but is far better preserved and less visited; allow a good couple of hours to fully explore it. Ravello was beautiful, built on a particularly sheer section of the Amalfi coastline, and is a lovely spot to wander around, have a coffee, or perhaps a peaceful amble around the Gardens of Villa Cimbrone (which I would highly reccomend).
