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).

A very enjoyable week despite the unseasonal and prolonged pluvial extravaganza (it rained alot for late April!). Very good hotel with excellent and plentiful meals. Great scenery (when the clouds lifted) and some iconic sites visited: Pompei, Ercolano & Vesuvio. Splendid bunch of positive uncomplaining fellow companions.
A brilliant mix of walking and culture. The walks were exciting but relatively easy with lots of interest and fantastic scenery to see. We had a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide to show us around both Pompei and Herculaneum. We climbed to the summit of Vesuvius and looked into the crater.
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
From a cultural point of view visiting Herculaneum was fantastically interesting for me. The "Walk of the Gods" down to Positano and swimming at the bottom was also thrilling.
What did you think of your group leader?
Our group was lucky in that we had a truly exellent leader. I have been on many trips and he was one of the best I have encountered
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Read up about Pompei and Herculaneum and Vesuvius beforehand (Wikipedia is a good start).
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Try the pastry " pastiera sfogliatella napolitena" which is a Naples speciality. Three of us walked back up from Amalfi while the others took the bus. It took us 3 hours but was good fun.

Well organised, great company, stunning views, lovely hotel and delicious food.
What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Walking around Pompeii and then up Vesuvius.
Ravello and the Villa Cimbrone.
What did you think of your group leader?
Albert is an excellent leader. Very organised, calm, knowledgable and encouraging. Thanks to his contacts we were treated to warm welcomes and great hospitality everywhere we stopped.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Climbing poles would be useful as there are an awful lot of steps and some uneven paths.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Our first Exodus holiday approached with a little apprehension! All unfounded - the hotel is a gem and Albert made us all feel totally at ease. Our group 'gelled' together quickly and the holiday has provided us with wonderful memories. You even organised the weather for us.
A very friendly and pleasant hotel in lovely countryside, although we didn't see so much of thatt as we would have liked due to low clouds and almost continuous torrential rain (as much a surprise to the natives as to us Brits!). What was impressive was that despite the real challenges produced by the weather our guide Albert re-shuffled the logistics endlessly so we did actually get some decent walks done, did some excellent sightseeing, and had a lot of fun.
