Alpes Maritimes Traveller Reviews

It is easy to enjoy most walking holidays when the sun is on your back, but when the experience is so good that you barely notice the rain you know you are onto a winner! And the sun did shine quite a bit too... Our fourth holiday with On Foot, the Alpes Maritimes definately did not disappoint. October walking meant barely another soul to be seen but, boy, we have never seen so many colourful mushrooms! No need to worry that the flowers would be over either, October is a great month to walk this route. Being quite wooded, no doubt it would be cool in the hotter months too and when the views open up they are spectacular. Excellent accomodation choices as well, impossible to find fault with anything.

On Foot have retained a very personal approach to what they do and they do it well. The attention to detail is spot on and they adjust swiftly and respond to feedback if things (such as local travel disruptions) change. The information pack for the walk is comprehensive and reliable, the app seems to work, and the local support is there when you need it. We definately plan to use On Foot again. Excellent.

Very well organised with excellent information to ensure we had the best holiday possible

They provided accurate information. Accommodation was excellent

A 5 day walk in the Alpes Maritimes Demanding walk but it was an adventure. It we had needed help we were confident that it was available. the two of us were self guiding with excellent maps, printed and on our phones. Stunning scenery and we hardly met another soul until we reached our destination at the end of each day. My companion, a 16 year old granddaughter is hoping we will do another trip

Efficient and friendly

A 5-night walking holiday in south-east France. Organisation was first-class, and provision of walk guidance was very good. Generally the accommodation and food provided were excellent, although not always.

We had not come across On Foot Holidays before, but we were very impressed with their efficient and yet personal service. A large amount of useful information was provided to help us enjoy our holiday to the full.

Terrific hiking - glorious peaceful countryside, wildlife and flowers, with the benefit of the clear and user friendly On Foot app. It's worth being properly fit to enjoy the longer hiking options. On Foot organisation and logistics are excellent. We had an issue with one hotel- the office swung into action to resolve it. Nothing but praise for the knowlgeable, fast, friendly and effective service from Ellen, Mary and Simon

Excellent, as per above

A great week of self guided walking in the Alpes Maritime, from La Brigue to Menton. We really enjoyed the challenging walking routes and paths up into and through the mountains. The scenery was often beautiful and sometimes spectacular. We stayed in lovely hotels which, while sometimes relatively basic in terms of the accommodation, were always wonderfully friendly and welcoming.

Went the extra mile in helping organise this holiday, in arranging such lovely places for us to stay, in providing very good walking guides and materials, and in being generally very friendly and efficient in communications and response to queries and feedback.

The route, scenery and instructions were excellent. As ever, the helpful team at on for the holidays were extremely knowledgeable and gave us everything we needed. to choose the right holiday for us. They were flexible and always willing to help.

On foot holidays are always eager to help and we have found them to be very knowledgeable. They find interesting accommodation along beautiful walking route.

Beautiful views, wonderfully small towns that were absolute gems. Hiking trails were well marked and the gps tracker made up for any uncertainties.

This was my 2nd trip with On Foot. As before, always so quick to respond, so easy to work with. They have developed an excellent network of places to stay, as well as trails. Their local guide was very informative and helpful each time he was contacted, both by Whatsapp and by phone.

The Alpes Maritimes are a hidden gem, only 20 kilometres from the coast but a different world of twisty roads, stunning villages perched on top of craggy cliffs, and the walking has all the variety you would expect from a mountainous region. The people are welcoming and friendly and the history is as fascinating as you would expect of a region so close to the border with Italy

On Foot are always impressive - nothing is left to chance as they check every detail of the arrangements and make sure the local contact is fully briefed on our particular needs. The briefing material is excellent and they respond fully and carefully to any requests we make of them.

Expertly co-ordinated by On-Foot we had a wonderful time walking the relatively remote Alpes Maritme close to the Italian border. La Brigue was much enjoyed, rustic, welcoming and off the beaten track.

Flawlessly planned and supported, we had a local contact on call if needed - we did not.
