Amalfi Coast with On Foot Traveller Reviews

We walked Amalfi to Sorrento with On Foot Holidays and had 6 great days of walking following the very accurate On Foot route guide and maps. The views were spectacular almost the whole way along the route, the terrain was varied with lots of steps, well trodden laid paths and some mountain walking on uneven ground however the climbs were very well rewarded as was the cold beer at the end of the walk after the down hill sections into the towns! We would highly recommend this walking to any keen walker, the Path of the Gods was fantastic and busy but other routes just as good and very quiet. Hotels were very good and clean,breakfast excellent. Good choice of restaurants for meals often recommended by On Foot in their 'Blue' book of recommendations.

We walked Amalfi to Sorrento with On Foot Holidays, this was our first holiday with them after a recommendation from a colleague, On Foot arranged all our hotels, daily routes and generally gave us all other information that we needed to enjoy our holiday. The daily route information and maps were spot on and we never got at all lost. The hotels could not be faulted, very clean and breakfast had an ample selection to suit almost anyone. The 'Blue' book of information provided was packed with information and although we did not need it it was great to know we had local contact if we needed any further help. We had a great holiday and were very impressed with On Foot from when we first enquired to booking then before the holiday they answered any questions very promptly and gave good accurate information. I would highly recommend booking with them.

Walking from Atrani, through Amalfi and along the coast to Sorrento was an exhilarating if sometimes challenging experience. Villages are built into almost sheer cliffs and the engineers of old constructed steps - hundreds of them - to ease the way up and down what would have been impossible inclines. Our first couple of days was spent exploring the local villages before setting off westwards along the coast. Having by now built up some leg muscle, what steps we had to climb were much less of a trial and we were able to fully appreciate the breath-takingly deep ravines, dramatic cliffs, olive groves, high places and delightful villages through which we passed. The distance walked in a day did not exceed 10 miles and on occasion we were able to reduce this, and avoid some climbs, by taking a bus part way. Our luggage was forwarded to our hotels so we needed to carry only day packs. A couple of days tacked on at the end of the holiday meant we could explore Sorrento itself, visit Herculaneum and Vesuvius, and take a ferry across to Capri. We went at the beginning of October so the temperature was a comfortable 23 degrees.

Staff at On Foot Holidays have walked the routes they offer, and our Walkers Packs contained all the maps, comprehensive directions and all the information needed to ensure we had a good experience. They also provided .gpx files which could be imported into a smartphone satnav app, which was a useful additional backup. The routes and accommodation seem to be very well researched. All emails and queries were dealt with promptly and efficiently, and new information passed on to us in good time. A very friendly company to deal with.

We walked from Amalfi to Sorrento over 8 days and it was exactly what we hoped for. While the climb up in the morning at the start of each walk was a challenge, we had been provided with bus information and we often took advantage of this. But the ridge walks were amazingly beautiful and we rarely met other walkers. Overall, a great experience and one that I would certainly recommend.

We were very pleased with the service that ONFOOT provided in terms of the hotels chosen, luggage transfers as well as the detailed route maps and guides. It was a great trip and we'd use this company again.

We hiked the Amalfi Coast from Amalfi to Sorrento with three other couples. The combination of great organizational skills from On Foot Holidays, beautiful towns, stunning views whilst hiking, comfortable hotels and an abundance of great restaurants to enjoy made for a magical week! Can’t recommend this company highly enough.

Efficient, quick to respond to questions, attentive

My wife and I did a 5 day self-guided Walk along the Siren coast in Italy, from Amalfi to Sorrento. The walk, organised by On Foot Holidays, included pre-booked hotel accommodation and luggage transfers from hotel to hotel in Amalfi, Praiano, Positano, Sant' Agata and Sorrento. With a small daypack and bottle of water we walked around 12 to 16 km each day along old walking tracks enjoying beautiful scenery, undulating terrain, flora and fauna, with stunning views of the coastline, stopping each day in a different village. We enjoyed good food and wine along the way.

The holiday was well organised by On Foot Holidays. They provided accurate and good reliable information including maps, mobile phone app with GPS and plenty of useful information about each place and about each part of the walk. Everything went to plan making it easy and enjoyable. Back-up and support was readily available through local contacts if needed. Accommodation and food was as expected.

Thank you On Foot for a wonderful holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed our Amalfi coast walking holiday. While the walks looked daunting in the beautiful mountainous area we 60 year olds managed the steps and climbs with relative ease.The distances around 10-15 km were about right given the terrain The maps and detailed daily walk notes were excellent and easy to follow. We were so impressed with the standard of the accomodation offered which gave us a wonderful rest and Experience after a hard days walking.A rest day to experience Positano which we added in was a great idea. We were disappointed with Sorrento after the other towns.We would not recommend an extra day here at the end. We will certainly use On Foot again.

On Foot were very professional in all our dealings with them even across the distance from Australia to Uk. Everything went Like clock work with an excellent package of maps and notes arriving before we left home.

On Foot Holidays did a fabulous job with all of the planning and logistics! The hike instructions were extremely detailed and accurate. The lodging was wonderful and all of the local transportation they arranged came on time and was easy to find. The entire team provided exceptional customer service and we will definitely use them again.

This was a self guided hiking tour where On Foot Holidays provided detailed hike instructions and we had a local contact we could call if we had any questions. We did not need to call the local contact for the duration of the 6 day, 5 night trip.

Trip was a lot of fun and a great way to see Amalfi coast. We really felt we covered a lot of territory and had a good feel for the area after. Accommodations were great and we had an amazing time.

Dealings prior to departing were prompt helpful and complete. Trip was a lot of fun and a great way to see Amalfi coast. We highly recomend On Foot Holidays. Cheers. Steve

Another On Foot Holiday in Italy. Planned to perfection, accurate route maps down to the tiniest detail. The hotels were varied and all very comfortable. On Foot kept us up to date with any route changes - a landslide for example - followed promptly by the new route map. The routes were interesting walking through vine yards, lemon groves, little villages, up hills, through rocky paths. A perfect holiday experience without any hitches (as usual). On Foot Holidays have a well informed office, we were able to speak to members of staff who have walked the route and therefore can answer any questions which enables us to adapt the walks as necessary.. Another FABULOUS holiday with On Foot Holidays. We'll be back.

See above.

We found the On Foot Holidays on the internet as we wanted to walk the Amalfi Coast. With our bags taken care of, the reliably written notes directed us over mountains, on mule paths, into fabulous towns and we were well cared for in the chosen hotels. Views which far exceeded out expectations appeared out of nowhere while we navigated our way through fern forest, many steps, abandoned churches, fresh flowing water and the welcoming piazzas on arrival at our end of day destinations.

We were kept informed with all arrangements on an on-going basis e.g. when there was a change of route, we were informed with alternate signage and routing. There was a chance of the train timetables being interrupted (which didn't affect us in the end) but we received plenty of information via email before our departure from home, with alternative options for our planning. Efficient and very helpful service was our experience at all times.
