Cilento National Park Traveller Reviews

Six of us spent a week hiking in Cilento National Park. We also visited the ruins at Paestum which were excellent. We spent two nights in every small town which we really enjoyed. We felt like we were off the beaten path. Both the nature and and the small towns were lovely.

The holiday was very well planned. I feel that we knew what to expect with each day and each accommodation. We had excellent notes about what we are going to see and do. All of the information and route was online. It was very helpful to know immediately if we were off the path.

OnFoot Holidays has chosen varied routes to welcoming destinations for the self-guided walk in Italy's Cilento area, south of Salerno. Their app provides reliable GPS guidance as well as all the information about the hotels and destinations you will need. As a solo walker, I know I can rely on their careful planning both ahead of the trip and during the trip. All of my transportation needs were anticipated, with taxis waiting to take me to my hotel when the distance necessitated it, but also with the ability to adjust the timing if I wanted. The accommodations on this route were varied and special, with welcoming hosts and, for three nights, fabulous dinners provided. I am a long-time OnFoot walker, and this route was just a delight.

From initial request for information to the final arranging of times and charges, OnFoot is open and willing to help. I am always impressed by their attention to the finer details and their going above and beyond the strictly necessary information.

Three of us did the self-guided six-day walk along the coast and between hilltop towns (staying in Palazzo Doganna in Agropoli, Il Gentilcore in Castellabate, Il Antico Convento in Roca di Cilento, Il Mulino agriturismo outside of Galdo, and Mareluna in San Marco). The walks were so stunningly beautiful, it was almost hard to believe it was real. The food was delicious (except for the hotel restaurant in Castellabate -- find a restaurant in town). The hotel staff were always nice and helpful. We also added a day at the beginning to visit Paestum, which I highly recommend.

Very reliable and helpful throughout.

A week of self guided walking in varied beautiful countryside. From coast to coast and in the Cilento national park, stepping back in time to a slower pace and a distinct lack of other tourists. Lovely food, well chosen accommodation and each day bringing new terrain and new pleasures.

I have been walking with On Foot now for nearly 20 years and return to them each time for the consistently good service and the creatively put together routes. Each holiday has been different and each one a great success. Hats off to On Foot.

This was an exceptional holiday, with every detail meticulously thought through and captured. Cilento is a beautiful part of the world, off the traditional tourist path. This walk captured the best of the Italian coastline, Cilento national park and amazing food and villages. It balanced the right amount of walking with downtime to experience the places being walked to. Accomodation was clean, functional and an experience. The app was a brilliant guide, and the tips and tricks included in it incredibly helpful. One of the best active holidays I have ever had,

On Foot Holidays could not have been more helpful. In planning the holiday they were very accessible via the phone and email and responded on a timely basis, regardless of the 9 hour time difference. The detail around the trip and that captured in the app was incredibly well thought through so that the whole 7 days was amazing.

We did back to back walks with On Foot Holidays Cilento walk is a new route for the company & wonderful region of Italy largely undiscovered by foreign tourists. A very authentic Italian holiday . Amalfi Walk is absolutely stunning . It was the second time we have done this walk & we loved it again . We upgraded to sea view accommodation for this walk .

On- foot - holidays is based in the UK & offers wonderful self guided holidays generally in less crowded areas of Europe & the UK . We have now done 13 trips with this company & love the personal service & the excellent organisation . They offer many excellent routes

Six days of self-guided walking in the Cilento National Park which included plenty of opportunities to enjoy swimming in the sea as well. The route App worked very well so there was no 'getting lost' panic in the middle of nowhere. Accommodation was varied - in a good way - and our hosts friendly and helpful.

On Foot holiday makers benefit from being able to talk to employees who have completed the walks so it's easy to get very well informed information about the practicalities of the route. The holiday company also makes sure that their area representative is on hand locally should any problems occur. We have used On Foot on four occasions and can highly recommend them. In short we wouldn't contemplate a self-guided walking holiday with anyone else.

We walked as a couple in the unspoiled countryside of Cilento, at times by the coast and other times inland following the detailed instructions on the App provided. The scenery was superb and the walks were interesting. The level of difficulty was as described by On Foot so there were no unexpected challenges! The hotels were thoughtfully chosen to be comfortable and welcoming, and to give a flavour of the "real" Cilento. Our luggage was moved between hotels for us. At the suggestion of On Foot we took the opportunity to visit the Greek and Roman temples at Paestum at the end of our walking holiday, and also added on a couple of nights in Naples allowing us to visit the archaeological site at Herculaneum.

On Foot organised the route, accommodation and transfers and we felt confident in their hands. (We organised travel to the start of the walk ourselves, with useful guidance from On Foot). The information was all provided on an easy to use App, which included route notes and maps, GPS tracking (so we couldn't get lost!), travel information, suggestions about where to eat out as well as a host of other useful information about the area and points of interest. We knew that we also had local back up by phone if any problems should arise (which they did not!). We would highly recommend On Foot as a tour operator, who always go the extra mile to make sure their customers get the experience they were hoping for. We have not been disappointed in the 15 years we have been walking with On Foot.

We love traveling to “untouristy” destinations and this certainly fit the bill. The rural areas we traveled through were quiet, peaceful, and had beautiful scenery. The two coastal towns we stayed in were also lovely and offered a nice balance of cafes, restaurants, etc set against the backdrop of the sea. We traveled in the spring so there was an abundance of spring wildflowers on our walks. Several times we would encounter old, abandoned stone houses in the countryside surrounded by a field of flowers. Often, we would walk along fields that included olive trees, lemon trees, and grape vines. Interspersed were quaint, unspoiled hillside villages. The accommodations were wonderful. Our hosts were warm and friendly. The food was great and the places we stayed were very comfortable. We had such a good time that we are already looking at options for our next hike with On Foot Holidays.

I cannot say enough about how great On Foot Holidays is. If we had a question, someone would usually get back to us within their workday. The only time the response was next day was due to the time difference between the UK and the US. And, shout out to Fiona who spent about 45 minutes on the phone with us once to describe a specific route we were considering! How often does that happen? Everyone we communicated with were friendly and extremely professional.

A marvellous walk combining ocean and mountain scenery in largely unspoilt southern Italy
