On Foot Holidays - Portugal Traveller Reviews

In September 2013 my wife and I did a "On Foot Holidays" seven day hike in the hill country of Peneda-Geres Portugal. On Foot Holidays provided us with detailed trail maps, trail notes, and directions for transportation to the start point. They arranged lodging, transport of our luggage and provided us with local contact.

On Foot Holidays does a wonderful job of planning independent hiking vacations in a number of countries and locations. They do a very complete job of taking care of all the details so that their clients have an enjoyable and trouble free hiking vacation. They are a pleasure to work with. We have enjoyed On Foot Vacations in France, Spain and most recently Portugal.

This was our fifth holiday with On Foot - we really like their formula of self guided walking in little known areas of Europe. This time we went to NE Portugal which was very beautiful and the people were very friendly. Food was excellent and amazingly good value. As usual the walking instructions were first class and On Foot always manage to find interesting and unusual accommodation away from the tourist hordes. We booked independently a hotel in Porto where we stayed for a few days after the walking holiday. We also like the fact that it is possible to 'customise' an On Foot holiday according to your own interests and budget.

It's great that at On Foot you always speak to a real live person who is in incredibly well informed on the holidays and can answer all your queries - that's quite rare these days. Their pre holiday information is first class and includes restaurant recommendations , shortening options for the walks, public transport., historical background to the area etc. etc. Their product is also as far as I can see pretty much unique - we will certainly be taking another holiday with them.

Back from our Portuguese adventure and we had a great time. Amazing scenery, challenging walking, friendly people, and fantastic local food! ON FOOT organisation was fantastic and everything went really smoothly.

Very professional and helpful
