On Foot Holidays - Liguria Traveller Reviews

The route selected was a beautiful one and the host accommodation was very good. We did not see many people on the route and it felt as though we genuinely had an authentic window into a Ligurian experience.

They were very responsive to any query, the quality of the track notes was very good and they accurately describe the level of difficulty of the walk. The local contact is also an invaluable safety arrangement. The route selection was excellent.

It was well planned and organised by On Foot. The walks were well chosen and the written guides and maps were excellent. The places we stayed at were welcoming and mostly comfortable and the food was excellent. Liguria is beautiful and the views from the ridge were spectacular. We also enjoyed our stay at Camogli on the coast at the end of the Salt Road.

On Foot are invariably efficient, friend and informative. They made sure we were well prepared. and equipped. And the hosting system works well so that we felt we were very well looked after in the various places where we stayed. The holidays are good value.

This is an excellent walking route with good and welcoming places to stay offering great Ligurian cuisine. The reason it doesn't get an excellent rating is that we were unlucky to run into the recent exceptionably bad weather in north Italy. That made conditions more challenging than you would expect. But in normal circumstances its an excellent option for experienced walkers

We rate Onfoot Holidays highly. They are knowledgable, responsive and flexible. The self guided routes are well planned with excellent walking instructions and hosts carefully chosen for the welcome they offer

A challenging seven day walk over 120km through the Apennines, partly on an old Salt Route, from Voghera down to the coast at Camogli. Supported by some excellent AgriTurismos and small hotels, memorable meals and friendly welcomes. The walk takes in some long ridges and a variety of terrain before finishing on the Mediterranean coast.

On Foot Holidays are the class act in walking holidays. They have researched and developed some challenging routes walking day by day usually with an overall objective. Supported by small hotels, excellent food and friendly local support if you need it. The walking notes and GPS files work well, timings are realistic and there are good options to reduce the walks if you want to do that.

Well organised, well represented by the information and good varied accommodation. We love combining walking in interesting areas with taking a little longer and visiting a nearby city.

A small independent company that make a real effort to get the details right. They also put on interesting walking options along with the more standard destinations.

Our holiday was the 7 night, 6 day walking option which we really enjoyed. Part of the route follows the “Via del Sale” (Salt Road). We walked through some stunning scenery and the feeling of walking down to the coast on the last day was quite special. The holiday took us off the beaten track, staying with very friendly hosts. This gave us the opportunity to visit places and meet people we would never find by ourselves. Our bespoke walkers pack was prepared and sent in advance by On Foot and contained excellent useful local information along with extremely accurate route notes for each day's walk. Our luggage was transferred along the way and we stayed at super friendly, family run, excellent farms and hotels. For this walk on most days dinner, breakfast and packed lunches were supplied by our hosts using local ingredients cooked in local ways which is just how we like it.

This was the 5th walking holiday we have done with On Foot Holidays. As usual the communication, advise and organisation from On Foot was excellent. The On Foot office staff, the local contact and the individual hosts were very friendly and helpful. It was a slightly harder grade than we have done previously. The advise given by On Foot prior to us deciding to book this particular holiday was spot on.

We walked for six days with our bags being carried from place to place. Everything worked exactly as planned, with a very personal service both in each location and from On Foot Holidays

We had to postponed this trip twice due to Covid. They could not have been more accommodating and helpful.

Excellent walking holiday

Excellent organisation and communication

Hiking along the Via del Sale (Salt Road), I (61 years old male) traveled self-guided for 6 days from "Little Tuscany" to Camogli on the coast through vineyards, woods, and high ridges. My luggage was transported each day to the next inn and most food was provided, allowing me to focus on covering the miles and enjoying the sights. I only saw 2 people on the trail over the first 5 days. The experience at each inn was unique and I enjoyed them all. Each day I was greeted by welcoming hosts and fed delicious food and regional wines. Two days in an upgraded room at Camogli on the coast was the perfect way to end the trip and allow it to soak in.

All communication regarding this holiday was made via email. On Foot Holidays staff promptly answered my questions and were very helpful and informative. Amazingly, each email was answered by a different person than the last one; however, they worked so well together that if you didn't look at the sender's names you'd think you were dealing with a single person. I was impressed. The printed materials and GPS tracks they provided got me to my destinations without incident. The materials also included interesting information about history, geology, and food of the region. A local support person was made available and it was nice knowing I had someone to call for help, if needed.

A walk that had historical relevance , visual beauty, the experience of the ruggedness & remoteness of the region, exposure to the land use & native flora & fauna All complemented by a well organized walking route that ensured good accommodation & meals of high standard regional cuisine

Professional Very responsive Very informative
