Umbria with On Foot Traveller Reviews

A self-guided walking hotel-to-hotel walking holiday in the Umbrian hills, across verdant countryside, sleeping in hilltop towns and villages in specially selected accommodation.

On Foot take exceptional care to ensure their routes are interesting and easy to navigate, and choose exceptional accommodation in beautiful locations. Detailed instructions and information on travel options. A local contact can iron out any last minute hitches.

We went on a self guided walking holiday in Umbria starting near Spoleto and ending in Mompeo.. The countryside was beautiful and the route easy to follow. It was one of the best holidays I’ve ever had

Really helpful in arranging all aspects of the holiday from the pick up at Rome airport on arrival. Everything ran smoothly and to plan. We have used On Foot Holidays before and will continue to do so. The pack of information supplied is invaluable; well thought out and presented and containing all possible information we might require.

Seven days of carefully planned routes through beautiful countryside, stopping each night in delightful, medieval towns and villages or rural bed and breakfast farms or houses. Late Spring in Umbria is ideal for observing flora, wildlife and incredible views. The added bonus being the lack of other folk along the way. In fact we walked for seven days without meeting a single other hiker.

Communication with clients is second to none. Even questions asked on a Sunday are answered on that day. The walking routes are meticulously prepared and well thought out and the maps and instructions are extensive and most valuable. All of the accomodation was ideal and obviously, carefully selected. We have traveled with On Foot four times and are already thinking about the next trip with them.

We walked for a week in the Umbrian sunshine, following paths originally walked by St Francis of Assisi. The walking was rewarding, the scenery beautiful, the meals and drinks at the end of each day somehow tasted better as we felt we'd had to work for them.

Walks on Foot were instrumental in the original design of the route, arranged all of our accommodation, maps and baggage transfers and were hugely accommodating as we had to change dates at least three times because of Covid restrictions. They were always very responsive to requests for information or updates - it felt a very personal service.

This was already our sixth walking holiday with On Foot Holidays. Just as with the others, this walk down central Italy had it all: great views and pretty villages, excellent accommodation with friendly hosts and wonderful food. As ever, the On Foot staff were helpful, very professional and always quick to respond to queries.

See comments above.

A wonderful week walking through a quiet corner of Umbria. Brambles, cowbells, wine and hilltop villages.

In our experience On Foot are always friendly and professional, with superb attention to detail. They manage to be efficient while at the same time offering an wonderfully personalised experience.

This walking tour was magnificent. It is not on the beaten track and that is part of why it is magnificent. We walked up and down hills with views of beautiful precipices and valleys, mingled with white Chianina cows, saw old and famous sanctuaries, one visited by two popes, stayed in perfect medieval villages and wonderful Agriturismos, and were at all times supported well by the tour operator. The food was excellent and we were pleasantly surprised that it is not just Tuscany and Piedmont that have first rate wine. The walking included quite a bit of up and down, which we liked. The people that we met are at least as wonderful as those that we have met throughout this beautiful country.

On Foot Holidays provided excellent support, including large scale, detailed maps, a separate map in a separate folder for each day's walk, which we liked, and a GPS track, which we really needed. Stephano was readily available by phone if we needed assistance at any time. The connections between accommodations and luggage transfer was seamless. We felt really appreciated and well taken care of. We have already recommended this tour to a number of friends that are also hikers.

Glorious self guided walking holiday from Spoleto to Mompeo staying in farm stays, b&bs, hotels. Warm welcomes, delicious food, rural quiet unaffected Umbria. We lingered in some Beautiful places Labro, Casperia, and especially in agriurismo le mole sul farfa... it’s a holiday to take time over.

On foot are like an old pair of walking boots! Comfortable easy to get along with and familiar with terrain

A week of quiet, beautiful walking through villages, meadows, woods, hills and valleys with the knowledge that a lovely room, welcoming hosts and fantastic food awaits.

Very helpful. Can't fault anything really. Everything went as planned and I knew they were only a phone call away if it hadn't.
