Ligurian Hills Traveller Reviews

Fantastic 6 days walking in the beautiful wooded hills of Liguria, ending up on the coast at Camogli near Portofino.

Always friendly, helpful and efficient. Onfoot organised the hotels, taxi transfers of luggage from hotel to hotel, and provided detailed walking route notes. They provided a booklet of background information (geology, flora, fauna, history and points of interest), and nothing seemed too much trouble, even phoning us a few days before departure to ensure we had everything we need. This was our fifth walking holiday with Onfoot, and would recommend Onfoot to anyone.

Superb onfootholidays website detailing the route / accommodation etc. Very helpful advice re options for extending our holiday. Excellent holiday pack with very clear route descriptions /maps /and GPS linked folder to download onto my i-phone. Great walk / welcoming hosts / great food/ well organised baggage transfers. A wonderful holiday!

On Foot Holidays have been superb at every stage of the holiday - planning / pre-travel pack (including instructions re app to download to i-phone for GPS linked route map) / support available in italy if needed during holiday (did not need to use this) / keen to hear and respond to feedback. All staff knowledgeable and engaged and keen to do their very best for us. Mille grazie!!!

Stunning part of Italy for walking. walk is 80 miles with a lot of climbing but worth every step! Accommodation is small hotels and bead and breakfast villa's but you eat with you hosts. Food and wine are first class as is the service. From the small town of Varzi the climbing really starts and you reach a height of almast 1600M. Views are stunning! The views as you approach the coast after 6 days are breathtaking! This part of Italy is off the main tourist route so you get a real feel for the area and its people. In summary, the walk of a lifetime!

On Foot holidays based in Salisbury. They do self guided walks all over Europe. All maps, guide notes and in most cases GPX files are provided. Baggage is carried for you from hotel to hotel so all you need is a day pack. This is the 3rd holiday I have been on with On foot and all have been excellent.

We've been on self-guided walking holidays with several operators over the last decade but the experience of On Foot Holiday's trips is streets ahead of the others we've gone with. There was a supremely well-judged range and level of support before and during the trip. The walking routes itself well-designed and structured - taking place in a part of Italy (the Oltrepo Pavese into the Ligurian Hills) that is considered off-the beaten track, the notes you receive and the guidance ensure that you can't stray off the track they have chosen. Best of all is the accomodation. Some of it was more simple than others, thoroughly understandable given the relative remoteness of some of the stops, but it was unified by great local food and hosts who all had a clear and demonstrable passion for the area they live in. By the end of the route, it was a passion that we shared.

Second self-guided walking holiday with On Foot. Usually, we select an area we want to discover and then try to find a company that offers a walk there. On Foot are so good that we will now see where they offers walks and then choose from those - they are that good. Superb range of information and support to ensure that you choose the right walk, are informed about where you are going and what you will need. A clear of loving which shines through and personal experience of the walks. First class.

I had spotted The Ligurian Old Salt Route trip with On Foot Holidays in a copy of the Week and immediately contacted friends to organise a trip. From the moment our adventure began we enjoyed every second. The views and ridge walking were the highlight, but only by a whisker. The accommodation was completely varied but without exception the warmth of welcome and the standard of hospitality and food were incredible. We were a group well into our 60's and two over 70 and we are regular mountaineers and walkers ... One of the party leads in Europe and worldwide for a walking company and the instructions and maps were faultless. We were really sad to reach the end as we had enjoyed our (sometimes challenging and strenuous) walks each day with the anticipation of the reward at the end of the day with a new and exciting Albergo, Private home, mountain hotel etc. The memories and photos are a constant reminder of our wonderful holiday and the talk is now of which of On Foot Walking's to book next year! Brilliant and efficient company.

From the initial enquiry we found everything about On Foot Holidays efficient and helpful. The pack of maps and guidance notes were great and they even included a map holder which was most useful. The website covers all the details, one might need to know and all aspects were well documented. They have a great knack of selecting accommodation of the highest standard even if only two star and in villages away from the tourist hotspots so that we could glimpse the real Italy with its culture and cuisine.

Walking tour in Liguria. 6 days walking and accommodation. Excellent supporting material, maps etc. Comfortable accommodation and great food.

Organised at short notice the On Holiday team were efficient, helpful and supportive.

we had a well designed independent walking holiday with good information and arrangements which all worked extremely well. the service was also reasonably priced our feedback to the organisation was interactive - so we can see that they use continuous improvement for their operation

A self guided walking holiday - the middle aged way!!

Helpful and supportive right from the enquiry stage. Made useful suggestions about travel using local knowledge. Provided plentiful info about the route itself, written info, maps and GPS provision for my smart phone. Kept in touch all the way through and ensured that if there were difficulties we knew where we could get support both locally and in the UK. Couldn't have been bettered, will definitely be using them again

Great off the beaten track walking route+Lovely hotels

Very precise organisation

It was great to get off the beaten tourist routes with this holiday and my husband and I enjoyed exploring some wonderful trails with amazing views in the Ligurian Hills. The walks were stunning and the accommodation and food were fantastic. We loved the mix of places we visited and the welcome from the various hoteliers and albergo owners was very warm. A wonderful experience.

We love travelling with On Foot Holidays - they always find the most stunning walks to follow and you stay in a fantastic mix of accommodation along the way. Their service is warm, personal and very efficient and the information they supply is thorough, informative and really adds to the holiday experience. A fabulous company with whom to go exploring.
