Hard but Worthwhile
The trip is very much a level 5 treking trip rather than a walking trip. Be aware some of the climbs are very physically hard.
Most Inspirational Moment
Being able to complete the "longest" trek in the middle of the trip. Plus stunning views
Thoughts on Group Leader
Validimir was excellent. A really good treking leader and lots in funny and interesting stories to keep us amused.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do not underestimate how hard this trip is physically. There are lots of steep sections over boulders. I have dodgy knees. I have done other treking holidays and never had a problem but this time I had to miss some of the days to rest my knees.
Having said that this is good trip if you do need to rest since it is centre based so you can just have a day of relaxing.

A really good, well balanced holiday with an inspired leader
Walking the Amalfi Coast was a really delightful holiday. True enough, walking in the hills in the middle of summer is not everybody’s idea of fun but most of the walking was at either a reasonably cool height or close to the sea breezes. Almost all the walks were at least partly in shade which made a lot of difference in a week of cloudless skies. The walking was not that difficult and needed only a moderate amount of fitness. Plenty of breaks for fluids were factored in.
Walking was interspersed with two days off. One at Pompeii and Vesuvius; a second with a range of alternatives.
Very comfortable friendly hotel with excellent simple Italian food. Delicious!
Most Inspirational Moment
The Walk of the Gods over to Positano was beautiful with spectacular views down the coast.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Martina was an outstanding group leader. It would be hard to improve on her skills. We were a pretty mixed bunch. Sixteen of us, aged sixteen to eighty from Britain, America and the Antipodes might have been a bit of a challenge for any group leader but she got it absolutely spot on.
Those of us who saw it will never forget her dance with the goatherd at the Bomerano World Music Festival!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Although the overall grading of the holiday is about right, be prepared to do some sustained uphill walking, even if the distances are not that long and the ascent each day is fairly moderate. Anyone who is reasonably fit and active can manage this.

Extraordinary Region of Italy
I chose the walking tour of Puglia & Matera because I had never seen Southern Italy. I was intrigued by the UNESCO World Heritage cities as well as the unusual architcecture such as Trulli houses. It is hard to believe the range of homes and times traveled – from Neolithic to present in just 7 days. My two favorite cities were Matera and Aberobello. The food was incredible. I ate great vegetarian dishes and seafood dishes all week!
Most Inspirational Moment
I was most overcome by Matera and how this city transformed itself from a slum in the 1950s to the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2019. Seeing frescoes of the Madonna & Child painted on the walls of caves where monks lived in the Middle Ages is transforming. Walking the rocky cliffs from cave to cave took me out of this world.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I loved Marcella! She clearly loves Puglia & Matera and it shows in her knowledge and exuberance. It was a treat when I could walk with her on a hike and learn about her travel adventures. She also picked the most amazing items at the grocery store for our picnic one day.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This is a hard trip in July as Italy was experiencing record heat. Two of our walks were quite hard due to the heat. You really need to be able to deal with the hot Italian sun and temperatures.
