Fabulous walking in beautiful country with thoughtful instructions and great variety

We walked from La Brigue in the Alpes Maritimes down to Menton on the Mediterranean coast, staying in hotels or BnBs en route, with On Foot shouldering the burden of taking our bags from place to place. It was a brilliantly conceived walk, with options each day to allow for varying weather or energy levels. The instructions and maps were detailed and accurate and the places we stayed were comfortable and often spectacularly sited. We were lucky ...

We walked from La Brigue in the Alpes Maritimes down to Menton on the Mediterranean coast, staying in hotels or BnBs en route, with On Foot shouldering the burden of taking our bags from place to place. It was a brilliantly conceived walk, with options each day to allow for varying weather or energy levels. The instructions and maps were detailed and accurate and the places we stayed were comfortable and often spectacularly sited. We were lucky with the weather and had a fabulous week of the big outdoors, with friendly hosts and lots of good food and wine.

Rating for tour operator:

On Foot tailored the holiday to suit our timing and were responsive and helpful throughout. The communication was excellent, with a walker's pack offering clear instructions and extra information for every stage of the walk. We found having the freedom of walking on our own but with a local contact to offer reassurance if we needed it was a winning combo. I would definitely travel with them again.

Delightful walking the the Alpes Maritimes

Well marked but deserted tracks through beautiful countryside in the Alpes Maritimes. Strenuous but not too much so, with alternative routes if desired. Warm welcome from hosts, many of whom provided excellent food.

Very well organised operation. Clear, detailed instructions backed by GPS if needed. Very responsive to queries. Good instructions for travelling to and from the start and end of the walk. Small, friendly organization.

A beautiful adventure in the Alpes-Maritimes

Perfect weather, lovely accommodations, fantastic food for a 5 day adventure from La Brigue to Menton. Easy to follow route descriptions and directions and challenging, but very manageable walks each day.

On Foot was just so very responsive from the moment we started discussing with them what route we should take through the planning stages as we asked questions, to being very available to help sort out missing luggage from the airline while we hiked on to the next stop. I can't say enough about how much they care that their clients have the best possible adventure. Now that I have seen how well planned these vacations are, and how reliable their accommodations and dining are in terms of cleanliness and value I would not hesitate to book another trip through them. It just takes the guess work out of everything, and I feel like I would never worry about whether a hotel was clean, safe to stay at with my children, etc.

Lovely way to see the Village Perchés in the South of France

We had a wonderful 5 night hike from La Brigue to Menton by the sea. It was challenging but not too difficult. The route notes made sense. The views were spectacular and we had some great food along the way.

This is the 3rd trip we've done with On Foot Holidays (Amalfi Coast and Spain's Basque Country before this one) and each time we've had some beautiful routes, easy to follow route notes and saw some gorgeous parts of Europe. The On Foot Crew are very professional and responsive.

8 day walk in the Alpes Maritimes region in France. It's hard to put into words just how good it was. Magnificent scenery, challenging but achievable walking, beautiful medieval towns, comfortable accommodation with personable hosts. Added to all this, our luggage moved for us from one place to the next, a local contact who phoned to see that all was well early in the trip and who was easily contactable when we needed to speak to him.

Added to all this, our luggage moved for us from one place to the next, a local contact who phoned to see that all was well early in the trip and who was easily contactable when we needed to speak to him. The walk was perhaps more challenging than we expected and we were very glad to have walking poles, particularly for the downhill stretches, and where there was loose scree underfoot.

Rating for tour operator:

On Foot Holidays has been a dream to book a holiday through. Their level of communication has been the best we've ever experienced - personal and detailed. The written walking directions were for the most part accurate, with the gpx file adding an extra layer of security. This was very welcome on long downhill stretches that looked more like a goat trail than a path and where no markers had been see for a while!

On Foot Holidays Alpes Maritimes Walk - An Unforgettable Experience!

Can't say enough great things about our experience walking the Alps Maritime trek - the views were stunning, the trails easy to navigate and well groomed, and the lodging and food along the way fantastic (especially Les Iris which was a very cute B&B whose lovely host, Pina, cooked a fabulous dinner for us and went above and beyond coordinating with On Foot and sending my husband's wedding ring back to us after he lost it on the property).

This was our first walk using a travel company and Debbie and Simon at On Foot Holidays were absolutely fantastic. They were very professional, friendly, responsive and also went above and beyond coordinating the return of my husband's wedding ring which he lost on the trip. The packet of maps and information was very well put together and we are looking forward to doing another walk with On Foot in 2019.

A wonderful walking holiday in the Alpes Maritimes

This was a six day self-guided walking trip along scenic mountain paths, passing through picturesque medieval villages and finishing on the Mediterranean coast. We stayed mostly in comfortable bed and breakfast accommodation, with dinner and packed lunches usually provided by very welcoming hosts.

This was our third walking trip with On Foot Holidays. They provided detailed and informative maps and route notes, booked all of the hand-picked accommodation and arranged the transfer of luggage each day. They went out of their way to ensure that the holiday was perfect. Most importantly, the route planning information was of a very high standard, so that our safety was assured at all times during the walk.
