A week of walking in the beautiful Dordogne Valley

We spent a week walking through the Dordogne Valley. The walks were nicely curated, taking us through woodlands, fields, valleys, ridges and medieval villages. Accommodations were small hotels and inns and ranged from basic to luxurious. The route notes provided by On Foot Holidays were, as usual, accurate and informative. Taken together with the detailed maps and GPS files they provided, it was impossible to get lost, even in remote areas where ...

We spent a week walking through the Dordogne Valley. The walks were nicely curated, taking us through woodlands, fields, valleys, ridges and medieval villages. Accommodations were small hotels and inns and ranged from basic to luxurious. The route notes provided by On Foot Holidays were, as usual, accurate and informative. Taken together with the detailed maps and GPS files they provided, it was impossible to get lost, even in remote areas where we went hours without seeing another person. While this is a self-guided tour, we didn't feel alone, as On Foot's helpful local contact, Emily, was always a text or phone call away to answer any questions.

This was our third trip with On Foot Holidays, and we would be happy to work with them again. I don't know how they manage to be so responsive and efficient with such a relatively small team. They always seem to respond to emails same day (often on weekends and after hours), and even though responses often come from different members of the team, each one seamlessly picks up where their colleague left off. I also particularly appreciate On Foot's truth in advertising. Walking can be a great way to spend a holiday, but there can be challenges along the way -- long journeys to reach the start of the route, muddy or slippery trails after rain, hotels that don't always have a big-city level of service or sophistication, etc. On Foot tries to be candid about what to expect, so we've never been unpleasantly surprised along the way.

Fantastic Tour Company

We booked a 4 day walking holiday in the Dordogne for late April/early May 2024. The weather was a bit rainy for some of the time but it did not take away from the fantastic trip. Every aspect of it was perfect and we loved the area and the accommodations/food.

On Foot Holidays has the entire experience so thoroughly planned out and organized - it was such a stress free relaxing, enjoyable experience from the day we booked until the day we finished. Their on-the-ground experts (Emily Stokeley!! so frendly and helpful!!) were lovely and their bookings in hotels and restaurants were spot on.

despite the rain, a great time!

We did the 4/day/5 night Dordogne trek and despite the rain, had a wonderful time discovering villages we would have never knew existed! All the hotels and hotel owners were lovely and the meals were exquisite. The hiking was a tad wet (unusual weather for the time of year..) but beautiful regardless. I would highly recommend it and have done so already.

Emily was extremely attentive with weather circumstances and recommended alternative options. And was willing to help us in the event that my husband's dropped raincoat was not found. But it was!

Wonderful Dordogne

We had a lovely walk through the Dordogne region of France through OnFootHolidays. The walking had plenty of opportunities to stride out but also had some challenging areas. It turned out that April was a perfect time to walk as the temperatures were cool in the morning and the sun was warm in the afternoon. We saw incredible spring flowering trees, wildflowers, iris and wisteria.

They are the most accommodating, kind, thorough, and professional group we have ever worked with. They are excellent at communicating and always happy to help.

Ideal combination

With 'On Foot' in the Dordogne. On Foot managed to combine impeccable organisation with friendly, personal contact. The accommodation had clearly been chosen with care, and with an eye not only to its appropriateness, but to the warmth of the welcome. The walking routes were well and clearly set out. First class.

Hiking the Dordogne

As senior hikers, we appreciated both our GPS and our poles. We took the 7 day option and found it to be more than manageable. We also took one ride 1/2 way with the luggage after the longest day, one that many people take, we’re told! A September hike gave us perfect weather, warm and sunny and the trail was very quiet.

On Foot was very good to work with. The accommodations were wonderful and it was such a treat having most of our evening meals provided. We felt very comfortable having a local person "on call" if needed.
