  The itinerary had to change, due to poor weather, and our excellent guide, Paolo, changed things several times to give us the best experience possible. Paolo our guide was excellent. The area of the Amalfi Coast is a challenge to navigate, and the drivers of the minibuses did it very well. I enjoyed the week immensely. I have two things that might be improved. One is that we booked from Canada through TourRadar, and while the help from them pre-tour was excellent when it was provided, it was very difficult and frustrating to know which organization we were communicating with: TourRadar or Exodus? This might be more streamlined. The organization of the return transfer from the hotel to the airport was not to my satisfaction. I did not pre-book, as I did not know the plans of my co-traveller. Booking from the hotel had me paying two different sums to the organizer of the buses, and to another guide, who was going to give it to a participant who had arranged for a private transfer and who was now going to be sharing. This was confusing . My co traveller paid a total of 30 Euros to get a shared transfer to the Napoli train station, and I paid a total of 70 Euros to get a shared transfer to the Napoli airport. I do not understand this. It was a difficult moment in an otherwise excellent trip.Show more

  We very much liked certain aspects of the Highlights of the Amalfi Coast tour: the hotel was very comfortable and well-appointed, the food at both breakfast and dinner, which were included, was very good, the cooking demonstrations were very well- executed, jovial and lots of fun, and the excursions and activities were led by expert guides (especially in the case of Eva in Ercolano and Pompeii), and lunches in between activities were staged at lovely facilities with great food and good value. There were a few times, though, when we arrived at a town, got an overview but no map on What's App or on paper, and were simply shown the meeting point with a few ideas, some pointed and some not as much, about what to see. Knowing which were most worthwhile for the time we had, including lunch, and ould allow us to be back at the meeting point on time would have been helpful. Overall, there were two rather glaring sticking points of the tour, though. One was being asked multiple times for tips, once at the beginning of the tour for our drivers, after we had tipped the first driver of the week, who acted surprised and grateful, then again at the end of the tour for the staff, then for our own tour leader. This, for a Platinum level tour company, smacks of unprofessionalism. Perhaps the idea is to make sure all work for their tips, but I think most people would agree that making them all-inclusive makes staff feel like highly-regarded professionals, and alleviates the need for guests to waste time and effort for multiple trips to the ATM. All-inclusive is definitely best. Also, Exodus’ free transfer offer should carry an asterisk as the service is solely at Exodus’ convenience regardless of whether it is inconvenient for the guest. On our departure day we were scheduled for a 4:00 p.m. transit, forcing us to cancel plans we had already made for sightseeing in Naples. And a simple query asking if our time could be moved up received a somewhat dismissive response from the person overseeing transfers. These two problems made us question whether we would use Exodus again or recommend it to others.Show more

  We're glad you enjoyed a good many aspects of her trip to Amalfi with us, and we’re especially pleased to hear that you found the Hotel Due Torri to be comfortable and well-appointed, with some great food. Your feedback regarding wanting clearer guidance during some town visits is appreciate, and our tour leaders will take this on board to improve the experience and ensure guests feel well-supported throughout the tour. Regarding tipping, while it is customary in many destinations, it is certainly not compulsory on any of our trips, as we feel it’s best to leave it up to individuals to tip the amount they feel reflects the service they’ve received. For this reason, we wouldn’t look to include tips within the price of the trip itself, though we acknowledge why you may feel this would be preferable. As for the transfer service, we provide a complimentary group transfer at a set time, which is designed to support as many clients as possible. However, we are always happy to organise separate private transfers on request for those who prefer more flexibility, at an additional cost. We're sorry that the response you received when enquiring about this felt dismissive, and we’ll ensure this is addressed with the team. We’re grateful to you for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review. -Exodus Adventure Travels

  The itinerary and guide were great easily, worth 5 stars. My two quibbles were that they were not at all clear that the choice of activities on the free day came at a price and that the included return transfer was not until 4 pm with earlier departures costing extra. To be fair, the extra costs were the true costs of the busses so while it was annoying it was not a dishonest money grab. They should just be more clear up front. The reason for the solid 4 stars was that the hotel was 3-4 stars. The room was small by US standards but normal by European standards, very clean, and well equipped. The description of the dining room indicated that a chef would serve local favorites, "specializing in seafood". The dinner offerings were heavy on pasta (both the "salad course" and first course) with very little seafood and were decent. The biggest issue was the service. The pool area bar was sporadically staffed and I am still not certain whether there was meant to be table service. The dining room was completely understaffed with 2-3 servers responsible for about 80 patrons. To be clear, they worked extremely hard. There were just not enough of them. Also, I suspect that the kitchen was not capable of that volume and as a result dinner was usually a 3 hour slog with courses coming out at 45-60 minute intervals. I would suggest staggering the seatings. Also, the room got hot and stuffy, which a few more open windows and some ceiling fans would fix (we were there in September with 80-95 degree F days and 65-70 degree nights). The breakfast buffet was good, better than typical in US economy hotels, but not great. The hot eggs and bacon or sausage, which were excellent when you got them, were not replenished and often out by 8:30 am. They did have eggs and boiling water for self serve hard or soft boiled eggs.Show more

  This was an amazing tour and the sights were spectacular.. The town we stayed in was centrally located so we didn’t have to change hotels from day to day, and ultimately saved us time traveling for each daily tour. The tours were well organized and our tour leader was excellent. The smaller group size made it much easier to manage so we weren’t always trying to figure out who was on the bus and who was missing. I would recommend this tour for anyone interested in seeing the Amalfi Coast.Show more

  Overall, the tour was very good and the Exodus tour guide Veriano was good. A few complaints - we were left at Naples airport for almost 2 hours before boarding tour bus to hotel due to 1 group member being late. Also, tour guide needs to walk more slowly during tours around crowded, congested areas, as some members walked slower or stopped to take photos and had hard time keeping up with him.Show more

  Veriano was an excellent guide . He was very attentive and looked after us .He was also friendly and had a wry sense of humour . Well done !!! The tours were so well chosen and organised . It would have been nice to go to Vesuvius but it was a busy day with Ercolano and Pompei . My favourite was Ravello with the tour of Gore Vidal’s ex villa la Rondinaia my high point . I had been wanting to visit for years. The guides there were friendly and knowledgeable . Then the tour to Villa Cimbrone completed the experience . Veriano organised it and made sure I could find it and picked me up afterwoods . I finished with a wine at Villa Maria and their wonderful view of the valley leading to the sea. The family hotel Due Torri was magic . The family very warm and welcoming in the True ItalianShow more

  The tours were wonderfully organized and thoroughly enjoyable. We got to see and experience everything that was promised. Our guide was informative and made sure everyone in our group was well taken care of and comfortable. The hike on the Path of the Gods was a bit challenging, and we could have been better informed, as we were told it would be easy. As a result, several people turned back. The hotel was clean, and the staff was very pleasant. Unfortunately, the dinners were not very good, with limited choices and not up to the quality we’ve experienced in Italy before. For several in our group, this was their first time in Italy, and they were quite disappointed with the food. We assured them that this is not typical. Overall, we recommend this tour, but you may want to dine at local restaurants some evening.Show more

  The guides at the sites we visited all talked way too much. Difficult to enjoy the sights and to try to experience them when the guides are talking all the time. Itinerary changed as we spent an entire day at Ravello, with absolutely no reason given. We lost a half free day to spend time at a place that was worth only a half day's visit. The tour guide, not the other guides I mentioned, also stayed with us at each site for an hour. We are competent adults, who once at a location, should be able to do our own sightseeing. Hotel's food as minimally adequate.Show more

  Thank you for sharing your feedback following your holiday to Italy with us . We appreciate your detailed comments and apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. We understand that the amount of commentary from site guides can sometimes feel overwhelming, as the guides aim to provide insightful and enriching information, but we recognize the importance of balancing this with personal exploration. Regarding the itinerary change and extended stay in Ravello, we strive to provide flexibility in our schedules to accommodate various factors, however, we should have communicated these changes clearly to you. We apologize for the lack of explanation and will work on improving our communication in the future. We also acknowledge your preference for more independent sightseeing. Our tour guide's intention was to be available for those who prefer guided exploration, but we understand the value of autonomy. Lastly, we regret that the hotel's food did not meet your expectations. We will pass on your feedback to the hotel management and work on ensuring higher standards for future guests. Thank you again for your valuable input. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable experience in the future.
