On Foot Holidays - Rhine Valley Traveller Reviews

Walking from Bingen to Koblenz following the Rhine. Staying in hotels & two castles along the way. Luggage transfer, hotels & food all excellent, as was the wine! In spite of the wine our walking instructions were perfect & we managed not to get lost.

On Foot Holidays. Professional, organised, efficient, well researched & charming. my third faultless holiday with them.

My girlfriend and I hiked for 6 days from Bingen to Koblenz along the Rhine in Germany. The team at OnFootHolidays planned an excellent route (Rhine Gorge), and provided us with incredibly detailed hiking instructions / advice. The accommodations were lovely, and luggage transfer service was both prompt and helpful. We enjoyed every aspect of the trip, and will be booking with OnFootHolidays again as soon as possible.

OnFootHolidays provided a fantastic service. All communication was prompt, accurate, and courteous. They provided us with a pack of information about the hiking route which was far more detailed and helpful than we anticipated. The route itself was incredibly well planned, with beautiful sights, interesting terrain, and lovely accommodations. To top everything off, the food recommendations were spot on.

Walked from Bingen to Koblenz along the Rhine Gorge, doing about 22km a day staying in the culturally rich and historic towns along the way. Fantastic views across the Rhine, pleasant, not too demanding walking, and excellent value dining. Flawless organisation. Fabulous scenery. Interesting culture.

Business like and pleasant to deal with, the On Foot Walking clearly take great care to ensure the all-important organisation is done to a very high standard. Every aspect of the organisation was flawless and the supporting documentation was accurate and interesting.

I decided to book a self-guided Rhine Gorge Walk for September 2013 as part of a European holiday and on my first visit to Germany. Initially I was a little apprehensive about how to travel to the commencement of the Walk following a long flight from Australia. However, my fears were soon dispelled as I had no difficulty in travelling from Frankfurt Airport to the village of Bingen, the commencement of the Walk, using the timetables and information provided in the information package. I found that the route taken along the Rhine was historically and geographically interesting, and I enjoyed the varied scenery. The villages along the route were beautiful and I was fortunate to experience a number of annual festivals along the way. Everything went smoothly with luggage transfer and, with one exception, the accommodation was very good in friendly small hotels ( On Foot had indicated in advance that difficulties had been experienced at the location where the accommodation did not meet my expectations).

This is the third self-guided walk that I have undertaken, and the first I have booked with On Foot Holidays. I found On Foot to be very professional and friendly in responding promptly to my initial and ongoing enquires. The walking notes, including the timetables and information on how to get to the commencement and return from the end of the Walk were accurate and easy to follow. I also found the information booklets which included historic information on the route traversed very useful. I enjoy the concept of self guided walks, and would not hesitate in booking future Walks with On Foot if they operate one in the location I choose for my next European holiday.

Walking along the Rhine Valley from Bingen to Koblenz covered lots of history, castles, forests and the huge and busy river, as well as local food and wine. Some of the days were strenuous, but there are lots of alternatives (boat, train, chairlift) to help get you to the hotel for the night if you don't feel like doing the whole, or any, of the day's walking.

They provided lots of information - where to eat, what wines to look out for, history along the route, and very detailed walking notes and maps - and were receptive to feedback about things which didn't work well or which might have changed since they prepared their tour notes.

The holiday was absolutely brilliant and I enjoyed every minute. The company was very well organised form the first email to the completion of the walk. I was very impressed that they took my feedback seriously. The maps and the directions were all fantastic. All the tips on restaurants etc were very good as well.

All my dealings with on foot holidays were very good they always emailed back straight away and couldn't have been more helpful.

Beautiful walking along the banks of the middle Rhine staying in castles and hopping from one side to the other.

On foot provide all the walking notes and maps, and we have found them to be the most accurate and easy to read amongst their competition. The arrange all the hotels and for you luggage to be trnasported to the next hotel each day. We have used them 3 times and the pre and post holiday service is first class. They provide a genuine individual service and listen to your needs and feedback and respond.

we had an amazing time walking from bingen to Koblenz. Probably one of our best holidays ever.On foot holidays were excellent to deal with and had arranged excellent accommodation on route. Our baggage was taken from hotel to hotel. Germany surpassed our expectations. Beautiful scenery almost magical and the germans could not have been more friendlier and kinder. The routes given to us was spot on. We found it challenging at some points but that only made it more rewarding. The extra information was also helpful and interesting. Have recommended this holiday to all my friends.

Helpful from beginning to end. Would definitely book with on foot holidays again.
