On Foot Holidays - Dordogne Traveller Reviews

We walked for a week in the Dordogne. On Foot planned the route, found beautiful places to stay, tailored everything to our requirements and arranged everything from arriving in France until we left. Hard to beat....

On Foot always offer lovely walking holidays in beautiful places - and this was one of their best. The route was very well planned, and we found ourselves in new places we'd never have found in really lovely hotels. On Foot ensured that the whole holiday was tailored to our needs and our guide Emily was always helpful when we needed her. A memorable holiday!

Walking holiday in France through pristine villages and landscapes. Carefully chosen trails and hotels. All accommodations were extremely clean and staff very courteous. Lots of details provided before the start so we knew what to expect.

The tour operator did an excellent job of providing detailed instructions for the walk as this was not a group activity but an individual trek. Their choices of hotels were excellent. The local resource person was easy to join by phone.

A beautiful walk though the stunning Dordogne countryside, historic villages, castles, fabulous hotels and magnificent food. The weather was ideal and the route planning and organisation was perfect. Some longer days walking tempered with a shorter day to follow but always ending at a delightful destination with lovely hotels and exquisite food, each evenings location seemed to exceed the previous in elegance and hospitality.

Everything was planned to perfection with quick responses to questions, not that we had many as the detail was excellent. All transfers, to a ports and the luggage was perfectly timed

My son and I went on a 6 day walk in fry magnificent Dordogne region of France. We had the best experience from beginning to end. Walking everyday from village to village through the most picturesque country and just being together along these ancient pathways was absolutely fabulous.

On Foot Holidays were so professional from the beginning of our first communication with them about the walk and all the way through to the end of our amazing experience. I can not fault any of their service. The maps and walking packs arrived safely and were so comprehensive, all my email queries about luggage and food and walking equipment was always so promptly responded to. The care taken to ensure we felt fully looked after was truly exceptional.

Excellent walking tour in the Dordogne Valley. Everything was superbly arranged for us by On Foot - all we had to do was enjoy it - and we did!

Every single communication with On Foot was met with a prompt friendly reply. Nothing was too much trouble - they are just so efficient. This was our third On Foot Holiday but the first time have been in charge of organising. Booking now for #4 . Cannot speak highly enough of On Foot Holidays.

We went on a self-guided walking tour through France's Dordogne valley, with stops at charming B&Bs or small inns each night. The trails were sometimes physically challenging, with some good hills, but they were always beautiful, and we knew that there were options for shortening each day's route if we felt the need to.

On Foot Holidays provided excellent support, information, directions and response before and during our trip, and they chose superb options for our accommodations. Whenever we had questions before our trip, they got back to us within 24 hours, 7 days a week. Their locally-based contact reached out upon our arrival and was readily available throughout our visit, providing invaluable assistance and suggestions whenever needed.

Fabulous walking holiday in an unspoilt part of France. Delicious food, wonderful walking and pretty villages.

Unrivalled. We have used this company almost every year for 20 years now and we totally trust their choices of walks and accommodation. While we can still walk we want to all the routes and we would not take a holiday with any other company. Long my they continue to offer this for our benefit!

Four retired girlfriends left their husbands at home to walk six days through the Dordogne. From the first communication with On Foot staff through the detailed narrative of the walk and accompanying GPS, we felt secure in knowing that everything would be just as they said. The hosts at each of our small hotels were especially gracious knowing that we were On Foot walkers. The menus were delicious and exemplified local home-style cuisine. The September weather was perfect for our walks through varied countryside, oak forests, vineyards, farmland, woodlands with destinations being among the most beautiful villages in France. Exactly what we were looking for.

The On Foot team was responsive and answered all our questions, even the one about "Are there chiggers on the route?" Emily even went to the local pharmacy to find out what to do about chigger bites. And luckily chiggers were out of season on our walk! Emily met us the first day at our hotel, gave us additional information and helped alleviate any anxieties we had about a self-guided tour.

I had a magical 6 days with a friend walking through the charming Dordogne valley. We hiked about 10 miles each day and loved the variety of scenery, the peace and quiet, the historic villages along the route. We walked in mid-September when the weather was perfect and there were few other hikers on our route. We enjoyed the small hotels and wonderful food along the way.

I have been on two other self-guided walks with On Foot Holidays and will use them again. I love their route choices and the comfortable, not-too-fancy lodgings. They are very responsive and flexible when planning a trip. The materials supplied in advance were just what we needed and the routes were well designed and easy to follow. When traveling with On Food Holidays I never worry about anything going wrong and I'm impressed with the value for the money. I have recommended them to several friends.

We had the best hiking—across meadows and fields, up and down mountain paths, through the woods. Bucolic vistas, ancient ruins, so much history. Each day’s hike was not too taxing, but we really didn’t feel like exploring the village when we arrived. So glad we booked an extra night to spend the next day resting and local sight-seeing. And at the end of the day, we were met by gracious hosts and comfortable lodgings and wonderful food. We ate more than we hiked, so we’ll be working it off at home.

On Foot Holidays answered all my questions, responded quickly, and were very accommodating, especially with the COVID postponements.
