Northern Provence Traveller Reviews

The Northern Provence walking trip through On Foot Holidays was excellent. The hikes were varied and beautiful. The towns and hotels along the way were perfect. Food and wine were highlights as well. On Foot puts together an excellent self-guided tour.

Right up until the last minutes, On Foot staff is available to answer questions and make changes, when necessary. The local contact reached out just before our arrival and during the trip was able to solve an issue for us.

A group of 10 took the 4-day walking trip in Provence. It was a truly amazing experience. On Foot Holidays was attentive to every detail and a breeze to work with. The accommodations and meals were terrific and the proprietors at the inns were such delightful people. The On Foot Holidays app made navigating the route easy and the details about sites along the way were fantastic.

All of the people we interacted with at On Foot Holidays were terrific. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Excellent walking in a part of France that was new to us and mainly popular with the French. Lovely locally accommodation and superb food.

I have been a loyal customer over many years and greatly value this kind of walking holiday, ensuring that one gets the best walking route and the best places to stay. Attention to detail at every point makes for a trouble free journey and arrival - all one has to do is walk, and with such confidence!

Brilliant organisation from beginning to end! Detailed arrangements sent in good time, friendly advice over the phone. Delightful hotels with friendly welcoming staff, good food, including picnic lunches. Maps and instructions clear and easy to follow, with alternative routes for most days if the walk was too challenging. We had a local person as point of contact, who was extremely helpful when we had a problem and needed advice and help to sort out the situation.

On Foot: well organised and efficient, prompt to respond to queries and give advice when asked. Good route plans and maps, with backup from GPS for those who wanted it. Lots of practical and interesting information about the area.

For us walking through countryside that is new to us and staying where we might not otherwise have done so is really enjoyable. The effort that had gone into designing the route really paid off. This was also our first experience of long distance train travel in Europe, encouraging us to do so again in future.

Friendly, efficient and responsive at all times. What more can you ask?

5 days walking up to 8 hours a day, following detailed and well thought out guide notes. The three of us enjoyed the route and the accommodation. The terrain was moderately difficult, especially in a heat wave, but the guidance notes made this clear.

On Foot Holidays are very attentive to detail and communicate well by email and telephone. They helped us revise our holiday plans when storms, landslides and the pandemic affected our originally planned route in 2020. We have booked previous holidays with On Foot and are likely to do so again because they are well tailored to our .preferences.

It was a 3 day walk in Provence

Onfootholidays was professional, prompt and very efficient in all communication and the overall arranging of the self guided walk . Highly recommended

Independent walking holiday in northern Provence, staying at a range of hotels, each with its own distinct character but all welcoming and comfortable and all located in or close to villages which more than demanded exploration.

The quality of support information was first class. In addition, On Foot were patient and helpful with making a number of tweaks that we'd hoped might be possible from the standard itinerary for this holiday: these greatly enhanced our enjoyment of the holiday.

We walked/hiked from Venasque in Northern Provence to Vaison la Romaine. Two days we did loop hikes out of venasque and Gigondas. these were on steeper, more challenging terrain. there is also an option to climb Mt. Ventoux. the scenery, paths and towns were lovely.

we used Onfoot Holidays out of the UK. we had used them previously for a hike on the Rheinstieg. they have excellent routes which are generally easily followed from their directions, though we have found a GPS helpful at times. Their office answers questions quickly. Inns have generally been top rate. good booklet on history and geology of area, restaurant suggestions, sightseeing, etc. Very flexible with route planning in terms of days, difficulty, etc.

My husband and I just completed our week long Côtes du Rhone and the foothills of Mont Ventoux. It was fantastic! On Foot never left a stone unturned and were easily contactable at any given moment. Harriet, especially, was extremely helpful. The accommodations were delightful, and the choices of towns to visit, so full of history and enchanting. Of course, great food and wine all along the way. Long hiking days, but well worth the effort, through vineyards, rolling hills, forests, some serious climbs. Would definitely choose to go on another trip with On Foot. Many, many thanks.
