On Foot Holidays - Amalfi Coast Traveller Reviews

An amazing and unique adventure made possible by the On Foot Holidays team. We could never have planned such a successful trip. The hikes were beyond what we expected and gave us the chance to experience waterfalls, limestone caves, lemon and olive groves, and even animals (we saw chickens, peacocks, white bulls, sheep, goats, and plenty of stray cats). And every hotel was perfect - clean and comfortable with great views, friendly staff, and delicious homemade breakfasts. We spent each day up in the mountains quietly exploring the small towns and enjoying ridiculous views (when the clouds cleared), and we rolled into a new tourist town each evening, warmly greeted by hotel staff who were expecting us. It was simply the best time ever, even in the rain. If you're looking for an active vacation jam-packed with new sights and experiences every day, this is for you.

We made one phone call to the On Foot team and everything was done. They sent us a packet with all of the information we needed, including our specific itinerary with accommodations and separate sets of route instructions for each day. The route notes even included information about different things we encountered along the way, such as an abandoned monastery, churches, villas, ruins, and even restaurants and water filling stations in the small mountain towns. In addition to the route notes, the packet of information included train, bus, and ferry schedules as well as restaurant recommendations. One day we got lost (due to a route change caused by construction in a small town), and Mary immediately answered our call and got us right back on track. The On Foot team is thoughtful, professional, and organized, and we cannot wait to use them again for our next walking/hiking holiday.

- we hiked amalfi to sorrento and it rained EVERY DAY. We had an amazing adventure , still saw great views, we were challenged by the terrain ( if you like stairs this is the trip for you), ate amazing food and cannot wait to do another trip

- helpful, quick to respond, great trip package - maps, directions. ALl questions answered. First self guided hiking trip and it went off without a hitch

Started the trip in may 2023 in heavy rains. But with the help of the on foot GTX files we were able to stay easily on route and when the weather cleared the spectacular views of the trail of the gods The outfitter was recommended by a friend and their selection of hotels was great with flawless luggage transfers every day Route design was excellent and it gives a feeling of satisfaction to walk a route end to end I have a feeling this will be just the first of several trips woth on foot

Excellent communication and support. I really fet confident with them

Our first time for such a holiday and we thoroughly enjoyed the organisation, route and accommodation provided by On Foot Holidays

We had personalised treatment every step of the way. Can’t recommend them enough

A complete and authentic Amalfi experience with the ability to choose one’s own daily itinerary with the background guidance of the On foot holiday team. To embrace both the coastal “glamour “ with the hidden interior of lemon groves, farms , villages, animals and spectacular scenery was a very unique experience. Our hotels, their staff , the food and wine were wonderful.

Great attention to detail. Comprehensive guidance. Prompt backup with a booking problem on a Sunday in Sorrento.

Walking the Amalfi Coast over the week was one of the most incredible experiences we have ever had. Every day was amazing, we kept looking at each other and asking if this was real life! On Foot Holidays made the whole experience so easy and wonderful - they booked the perfect accommodations that included comfortable and beautiful spaces with delicious food. The directions we were provided for our route were easy to understand and made the whole trip absolutely smooth and relaxing. We cannot wait to do another walking tour again.

On Foot Holiday was absolutely WONDERFUL. I will not hesitate to book with them again - there was nothing about our trip that was not spot on.

An 11 day self guided walking holiday of the Amalfi Coast & Capri Island

On Foot Holidays A tour operator that is totally professional in its entirety. This is our third time & we've never have had any reason to be concerned or raise any issues This is an organization that is committed to customer service - it is about an ALL STAFF approach, all take ownership - responsiveness , comprehensive & relevant documentation & information On Foot is a team that has a desire to provide an enjoyable & worthwhile experience for all travelers (self guided walkers) whilst accommodating the various ages/fitness levels/tastes . A tall order but achieved. Well done & thankyou!

The logistics were meticulously planned and all components of the trip came together perfectly. We added a couple of extra days, allowing time to sightsee in Naples and Sorrento - time well spent! Starting in Naples, we took a train to Salerno, ferry boat to Amalfi, then walked the Amalfi coast route to Sorrento over the next several days. We had fantastic walking weather every day, and made extensive use of the guide materials provided by On Foot Holidays.

We found On Foot Holidays to be incredibly responsive and knowledgeable on all aspects of our travel - they took the uncertainty out of our trip planning and greatly added to the completely positive experience.

5 Day walking holiday from Amalfi to Sorrento. We reached Amalfi via a boat from Salerno (stunning! what an entrance to start our holiday!). After exploring Amalfi, our first walking trip was a round trip up to the hill villages of Ravello and Pontone - beautiful views and villages (and our first local pizza - wow). Rain hampered the next day and we had to take the bus to praiano which was an experience in itself along the wet windy coastal road with some very scary hairpins and "interesting" local driving! Another fantastic hotel here (local run) and what a stunning view - right out over the coast! The next day the weather was kind and we walked the much awaited Path of The Gods walk. Everything we imagined and more - from the 996 steps to the abandoned monestary, the scramble to the path and then the views. Oh my! The journey down to Positano was breathtaking (dont cut this short on the bus). Monteperuso and the tiny hut serving fresh lemon juice and vine cut grapes were an absolute delight. The many steps in to Positano were worth it and we were transported in to the bustling and busy tourist haven of Positano. What a contrast to the empty hills above. Again a fabulous hotel and a really well advised meal in a local restaurant. We were then thwarted by the weather for our final days walking which was disappointing but means we have something to go back for. The pretty village of S'Agata and Bar Orlando (and the smoking cat) provided the warmest of welcomes and local food and drink beyond compare. A short trip over the hill down to Sorrento finished our trip with On Foot - what a trip and fantastic memories!

From start to finish the experience from On Foot was superb. The pre-arrangements and changes we requested were met with patience and exceptionally good customer service. The local walking guide (via whatsapp) was so helpful and provided much needed reassurance in bad weather conditions. The hotels were fabulous and mainly local which meant that we felt like we were really contributing to the local economy. The food recommendations were also faultless. Finally th walking directions - written and GPS, were really top class. The opportunity to get lost in the alleys of the small towns and then in the hills were ample and they had spent real time walking the route and making a set of directions that were good to follow and also made the most of the views and opportunties that the amalfi coast had to offer!

Wonderful, challenging climbs to unsurpassed views, with time for stops in small villages for a tasty cappuccino and croissant!

The On Foot Holidays team were wonderful. So responsive, expert trail/route details. All the information you need for a carefree time just being on the trail. Bags transferred, lovely Inns with restaurant recommendations. Simply the best!
