Exodus holidays are only as good as their leaders and Sara is fantastic, super knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm. The area and accommodation ensure you feel fully relaxed and immersed in the beautiful countryside. The home cooked food is delicious and there is also a day out in Lucca or Pisa etc.. In short, a great holiday for people who enjoy Italy, walking and beautiful countryside.
All the wonderful, unforgettable views and climbing to the top of the highest peak in Tuscany.
Brilliant! Sara is so experienced and thoughtful and an amazing asset to Exodus. Sara ensured we all had a great holiday and were able to enjoy to the full all the area has to offer.
It's a hugely enjoyable trip and there is some flexibility with the walks which is a bonus.
For me, this holiday struck the perfect balance, encompassing Five varied walks, home cooking and a day of culture in Lucca.
The walks themselves presented us with colourful memories around every corner, whether it be a spiritual shrine, an `out of the blue` stone monument of a world famous pop star ( I wont spoil your surprise!) or simply stunning views.
Our World-class Guide, Sara, was always a step ahead of any request or challenge we met allowing us to fully absorb the splendours of this beautiful part of the world.
Thank you!
The walks which veered into sheltered woodlands-I loved the feel and smell of the trees.
World class
For those whom have not used walking poles, this is a great opportunity to learn . Sara provide the use of poles and instructions.
Really enjoyed this trip, our guide, Liz, was excellent, the walks were well planned and we were able to explore this beautiful region, the Garfagnana area, which we had not visited before. The agriturismo experience was another first for us, our hosts were warm and welcoming and the food and home-produced wine was plentiful and tasty, it was a lovely environment. We were lucky to be with a very friendly group of fellow walkers which added to the experience and we have arrived home feeling very refreshed and keen to book another Exodus trip in the near future. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys walking and beautiful countryside.
I loved it all!
Liz was very enthusiastic and planned our days well, taking into account weather conditions and everyone’s needs. She was very attentive to each person on the trip and the holiday would not have been the same without her.
Book this trip!
This was an excellent tour. The accommodation was delightful and all the people there were charming and so accommodating. The guide – Sara Bull – was superb and the walking was enjoyable and in places spectacular without being too arduous.
Arriving at the rock arch on Monte Ferato. Stunning. And this was a walk that was not in the original itinerary. We went there because the weather was not good enough for Monte Sumbra.
Sara Bull is one of the best group leaders I have come across. Extremely knowledgeable, very well organised, very aware of the needs and capabilities of her clients and good company. She took great care to ensure that everyone knew what was going on, managed all their end of tour travel (surely not within her scope to buy tickets and provide tourist information to those going on to other places) and took care to ensure that my wife (who was not walking with us) had all the information she needed. We had a minor accident on one of the walks and Sara handled the situation very competently and professionally. Excellent all round.
Agritourismo in Braccicorti is fantastic. Wonderful walks and great home cooking and Sara is the best guide in Italy. Sara looks after you and knows everything about the local area.
Climbing the highest peak in Tuscany through the snow at the top. Wonderful views and lovely team spirit in our group. relaxed by the pool at Braccicorti on our return before another lovely home cooked supper in the farmhouse.
Sara Bull is fantastic. She is so thoughtful and makes wonderful home made flapjack and muffins to keep you going however steep the climb. She puts herself out to make the most of your transfer days so we had a lovely half day in Castel Nuovo before returning to Pisa airport to fly home. Her dog Elvis came on most of our walks and keeps an eye on us.
Book it now!! It is fantastic.
Lovely scenery.
Good walks that were varied. They included rough mountain paths and atmospheric meanders through woodland.
Just enjoyed the whole lot.
Very able and competent. Put safety first throughout. Informative and willing to share knowledge and experience.
Make sure you are equipped for various weather conditions. Read trip notes and take notice of advice. They are excellent.

I have just got back from a fantastic week in Tuscany. This has been one of the best holidays I have ever had. The walks were fantastic and all achievable with a reasonable level of fitness. The accommodation was lovely, comfortable rooms with use of a lounge (where there was tea and coffee available any time) and quite room for relaxing and reading. The food was wonderful, home cooked with all the ingrediants sourced locally. The family and staff were very welcoming and made us all feel at home. The best part of the holiday for me was our guide Sara, who was brilliant. She had a fantastic in-depth knowledge of the area, made sure every person in our group was well looked after, even on our free day. This was my first exodus holiday and despite being nervous as I was going on my own, soon made friends and am now looking at booking my next trip already! An amazing holiday which I highly recommend.
Completing all the walks with supportive encouragement from our guide Sara and my fellow group members.
Fantastic and an inspiration. Sara was great at getting to know everyone in the group and ensured we had a great holiday.
Book this holiday now! You won't regret it.
This is the third Exodus holiday that we have been on and the best one by a long way. The walks in stunning scenery were varied and interesting and are do-able with a good level of basic fitness. The farmhouse was warm and cosy with excellent home cooked food, we are vegetarians and had no worries or disappointments with the food. What made this holiday exceptional and one we will never forget was the leader, Sara. Her enthusiasm and positivity for looking after “her clients” shone through in every thing she did; for example buying rail tickets and arranging taxis made all the difference. Out on the mountains, Sara’s knowledge of the terrain and love for the area was infectious. To top it all, the company of Sara’s wonderful dog Elvis, trotting alongside us, made this an unforgettable holiday. If you are thinking about booking this holiday, just do it!

See above.
An absolutely fantastic week staying in a lovely Tuscan farmhouse with delicious home-cooked food. The walks were all very different but each was superb in it’s own way with breathtaking scenery. The local family who run the accommodation were all extremely friendly and welcoming people. Our guide Sara Bull was exceptional(see below) and we were lucky to experience almost an entire week of lovely warm/hot sunshine. Our group bonded straight away and this contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the holiday. The dog Elvis who accompanies the group on every walk is the fittest, friendliest & most loveable dog I’ve met.
The entire trip was inspirational in view of the stunning scenery of the Garfagnana region however the highlight would probably be summiting one of the highest peaks in the region, Monte Sumbra, on a beautiful warm day with perfect visibility. The views from the top were simply breathtaking.
Where to begin when describing Sara Bull! I first did this trip 9 years ago and Sara was also the guide then and was outstanding-nothing has changed in that time. Sara is everything you would want in a guide-friendly, sociable, vastly experienced & knowledgeable, organised, attentive and basically great fun to be with. She contributed massively to my enjoyment of the holiday. Sara quite obviously loves her job and goes the extra few miles to make sure every person has the best possible week's holiday.
Be prepared for all weather conditions. Although we were lucky to experience brilliant weather most of the week the weather can change very quickly in the region-rain jackets and sunscreen required! Also-make sure you're fitness is at a good level. The main advice would be if you are thinking about booking this holiday then definitely do it-you will not regret it!
