On Foot Holidays Traveller Reviews

Starting in Avignon, we had eleven days walking arranged by On Foot Holidays through delightful scenic countryside and charming villages. The hotels were wonderful and at every place we stayed our host told us that they always reserved their best rooms for their On Foot customers. It was late September and early October. The grapes were ripening and the southern Cotes du Rhone wine typified by Gigondas was rich and spicy. The highlight of the walk was a circular walk/scramble through the Dentelles de Montmirail. This was the seventh time we have walked with On Foot. We've never had a complaint or a disappointment, and we strongly recommend them to all their potential customers.

Even though we have never met the On Foot people, we feel like they are our friends. And the very best of friends at that! We are amazed at the quality of the holiday experience they put together for very reasonable prices, and we have found that other walkers we have met being looked after by different companies are always envious of the quality of our maps and guidance notes, and in particular of the places we stay. The hotel in Avignon was a beautiful former Abbey, the hotel in Venasque was perched on a cliff top with spectacular views, in Mazan we stayed in the former chateau of the Marquis de Sade, and in Vaison la Romaine we stayed right in the heart of the beautiful Old town.

A week walking from Voghera, south of Milan, to Carmogli on the Mediterranean. Extremely well organised by On Foot Holidays, and a most enjoyable trip.

Well priced, very well organised, and a pleasure to deal with - nothing is too much trouble.

In 2013, my wife and I did the Cotes du Rhone walk. In 2012, my wife and I did the Lycian Way walk, along the south coast of Turkey. In 2011, my wife and I did the Croatian coastal walk, from Dubrovnik.

OnFoot Holidays have been most satisfactory. Once one has booked with them, they keep one up-dated on changed conditions on the trail, so one starts the walk with great confidence that one has up-to-date info. If we find unreported changes to the trail (new paths, rockfalls etc), we report them to On Foot on our return, and they always acknowledge receipt. The OnFoot team walk the trails, so they speak with recent knowledge. Their instructions are detailed, and several times, walkers with other companies have told us that our instructions and maps are better than those supplied by their tour operators. The hotels and meals provided have without exception been of good quality, and the staff friendly and helpful.

We hiked daily between 6 towns in Tuscany with our luggage picked up daily & transported to our next hotel. The route was well chosen, avoiding traffic & generally following tracks through the beautiful Tuscan landscape, Often, we could imagine we were medieval wayfarers approaching the hillside town. Accommodation was good & of course the food was exceptional.

On foot holidays were very accommodating. I have no complaints. In discussing another walking tour with me they have pointed out potential problems.

A week of walking through the spectacular countryside and along the coast of SW Turkey, passing through the ancient, ruined cities of Phaselis and Olympos and ending in the bustling city of Antalya. A great combination of exercise and culture. The walking was enjoyably moderately strenuous in parts, on well marked tracks, with very few others on the track. Perfect!

Very efficient and responsive to any questions. Definitely felt that we received individual attention and help with arrangements specific to our needs. On the ground support in Turkey was excellent. The walking guide information was accurate, thorough and everything we needed.

A walking trip through woods and mountains in the Priorat region of Spain, with visits to fascinating monasteries and stays in sleepy towns and villages. Fabulous wines and great walking, with interesting places to stay, and stunning landscape. Strenuous walking, but a hugely enjoyable experience.

Very friendly and efficient to deal with, this felt like an organisation with a real interest in its customers. Really excellent maps and walking directions, and a good level of information about the area.

Planned holiday walking from Ljubljana to Trieste. The walking schedule was excellent and wonderful/interesting scenery and good hotels. There was flexibilty with length of stay with the hotels in Trieste and Ljubjana. The accompanying paperwork was very good regarding maps and information about the areas through which we were travelling. All the luggage transfers went without a hitch. Pre travel information excellent and all contact with On Foot Holidays has always been a delight with helpful and enthusiastic staff

The On Foot Holidays website is excellent and whenever we have contacted On Foot Holidays staff have responded in a timely way, have been knowledgable and have always been very friendly and enthusiastic. This was our second holiday with the company and we are planning another one in 2014.

We thoroughly enjoyed the walking each day - achievable, but challenging enough to feel we had earned our excellent dinner! The scenery was breathtaking with some especially memorable viewpoints along the way. It was a delight to be in the unspoiled countryside, away from urban pressures. Some days we saw no other people - only cows! The food was fantastic - we didn't know how many courses to expect and the food just kept arriving - bliss! The hosts were delightful and made us very welcome. An excellent holiday and one we would recommend to anyone with a love of walking.

Well researched, well described and well organised walks. Excellent pre-holiday information and service - our slightest query was answered thoroughly and with courtesy. On Foot had taken a great deal of trouble to choose unusual and welcoming places to stay, with excellent food and attention to detail throughout. It was very reassuring to know that we had a local contact who was keeping in touch with our hosts each night, so that we would have been missed had we failed to arrive! This was our third holiday with On Foot, and we look forward to booking more.

We spent a week walking through Dorset from Salisbury to Lyme Regis following in the foot steps of Thomas Hardy. On Foot Holidays arranged the route and pre booked our accommodations. They met with us the first night and provided us with maps, written directions, a compass and a cell phone. The accommodations they arranged were excellent Bed and Breakfasts or small Inns. All in all it was a superb holiday.

We hiked along the Amalfi Coast using On Foot Holidays as our tour company. We had looked at a number of other companies before choosing On Foot. Ultimately we chose them because we liked their route better (it involved some longer and more challenging hikes - which we preferred), and because the route was designed by the person who wrote the hiking guide book to the area. We loved the trip. It was breathtakingly scenic. We also liked having a choice of hotels in each of the towns. All of our hotels were wonderful - extremely clean and comfortable. In addition, we thought that On Foot Holiday's descriptions of the hikes and the topography of the area was very precise and accurate. We would definitely book with On Foot Holidays again.

Our tour operator was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions. We spoke by telephone to her a few times before finalizing our plans, mainly with regard to hotel choices on the trip. We also appreciated how responsive she was to our email inquiries.
