Amazing Tour with amazing views!

A truly unforgettable experience. From the breathtaking views of the Italian coastline that were enhanced by well-planned walks that allowed us to truly take in all the scenery, to excursions to Pompeii and Vesuvius to add some historical context to the adventure. Stayed in a lovely and friendly hotel which made for a perfect spot after each day of exploration. Highly recommend this tour!

Did I Mention the Stairs?

A great way to visit the beauty of Amalfi without the huge crowds. Staying in Bomerano and hiking each day was a great alternative to a through hike with the associated heavy pack. Chance to set you own challenges on free day. Down the stairs, and up!

An Incredible Journey Along the Amalfi Coast!

This trip was truly amazing! Each day brought breathtaking views and memorable experiences. The Path of the Gods was a standout, with some of the most stunning vistas I’ve ever seen. Standing above the clouds at Monte Tre Calli and exploring Vesuvius added a captivating historical element to our journey. Hotel Due Torri was the perfect retreat, offering a cozy and relaxing spot to unwind after our hikes.

Walking the Amalfi Coast - June 2024

Spectacular Italian coast enjoyed on well planned walks plus excursions to Pompeii and Vesuvius from a comfortable and friendly hotel in a quiet and attractive village.

Stellar Group

Excellent itinerary, good weather, comfortable accommodations plus incredible staff and meals. This was the most incredible group of travellers I have ever met on an organized tour. Our leader Tony was beyond spectacular and made this adventure 110% if that’s possible!

Walking the Amalfi Coast, based in Bomerano

A very ghood trip, every day was excellent. Hotel & food very good and really friendly staff. Best part was Tony, our Guide, a very relaxed approach but everything under control. In particular his invitations to meet his local contacts each day for our lunchtime sandwich / beer was an unexpected bonus. The Lunch in a Lemon Grove was the highlight. Exodus should encourage this approach – meeting the local population, buying a beer and chatting.

A great trip (Just mind the stairs!)

A delightful way to explore the Amalfi Coast–blending regular hiking (especially the Path of the Gods) with cultural/natural highlights (Pompei, Ravello, Vesuvius).

My Amalfi Coast Trip

Overall it was phenomenal, the perfect time of year and amazing hikes. The Hotel Due Torri was a wonderful spot with incredible people working there. However, I personally thought the food was not good and had asked for a gluten free diet but was not given one. Most of the issues I had were the fault of Exodus not the leader or anything else. The other HUGE problem was the disparity of the athletic ability of the group, as a result of this, on the day of the Path of the Gods, we were hours late and this prevented us from truly enjoying the hike and missing out on the events we had not time for. There needs to be TWO leaders and an assessment of the pariticipants. While I loved our leader Roberta, her solution to this problem was to force those of us who were more athletic to the end of the pack! At one point she said my energy was bothering those who were slow and there was no regard for those of us who wanted to move ahead. The focus was always on the needs of those who were struggling as opposed to those of us who met the criteria set by Exodus in order to comfortably hike the designated paths. This was incredibly frustrating! Those of us who met the criteria for the trip were punished and those who did not were accomodated over and over again. The other issue I had was the lack of transportation options provided to and from the airport. While the trip says transfers are included this is not really the case. I was told to wait five hours in the Naples airport for my free transfer! This was my first day in Italy and there was no way I was waiting in an airport, it cost me 160 euros to get to the hotel. Then on the way back, again no accomodations were made despite multiple emails prior to my trip asking for the transfer. I asked for reimbursement at a minimum for the 70 Euros it cost me to get to my hotel but that was refused.

I think for the most part Exodus does a good job of arranging these trips but greater efforts must be made to ensure the athletic level is compatiable and transfers fro everyone are provided.

Good

As mentioned in other reviews some of the walks are a bit challenging – mainly on the descent – this was our first walking holiday and after the first day had concerns about if we could stay the course . We did – and whilst still challenging we did enjoy it . Many thanks to our group leader Roberta who kept us safe and informed throughout and maintained a sense of humour even in the face of group moaning ! Hotel is good in respect of all staff who are lovely and service which is great – drinks reasonably priced and cocktails good . Cleanliness and cleaning also excellent . Food was sometimes excellent and sometimes a bit monotonous – especially breakfast . Our room wasn’t brilliant – too small – no drawers and particularly difficult on wet day with nowhere to hang anything to dry out . Other rooms much better . Our group mix was excellent a highlight of the holiday . Overall a good trip with just a few niggly bits
