On Foot Holidays Traveller Reviews

We chose Cilento in part because it’s in a lesser visited part of Italy, with small villages and great walking in between. Since it’s in southern Italy, we were able to start in late March, with cool, overcast skies, lonely walks and welcoming inn keepers. We experienced seaside hugging hills, ridges draped with medieval-aged towns and the summit of Monte della Stella at 1,125 meters. Every day, we knew that On Foot Holidays, our tour operator, had personally vetted excellent hosts, trails, and restaurants. At every junction, we knew that we were safe, and our task was to enjoy our holiday.

After nearly three years and 12 unique and wonderful trips with On Foot Holidays, my wife and I have already booked three more trips, and are enjoying the process of adding more in the future. That’s how highly we think of On Foot Holidays. Everyone we’ve ever been in contact with in their office, for any reason, has quickly responded to our inquiries, and provided clear and concise information. Their pre-trip planning is incredibly thorough, from bus and train schedules, to a taxi connection who’s always, not just on time, but typically 10 minutes early. Their inn keepers are warm and welcoming, and always talk about how thorough On Foot is. We know that each trip is well researched, and that we never have a doubt as to our enjoyment, and most of all, safety.

Our 6 day walk in the beautiful Dordogne was like walking in a dream. Fairytale castles and bucolic villages abounded, strung together by wildflower lined paths in dappled shade. All designed by OnFootHolidays to provide the maximum enjoyment while providing enough walking challenges for the fit and unfit alike.

All communications were prompt and accurate and the people were very pleasant to deal with. Transfers and pick ups were on time and staff were friendly and helpful. Walking instructions were accurate and detailed. Accommodation and meals were excellent.

Walking the Castles of the Rhine was a great walking holiday with stunning views, beautiful accommodation and with the usual excellent service from On Foot Holiday.

Always friendly and helpful, a truly personal service.

We spent 8 days walking in northern Portugal, most of which was in the Peneda-Geres national park, staying in B&B's, charming guest houses, small hotels, and the elegant Pousada Santa Maria do Bouro. We enjoyed walking on mountain paths, Roman roads, and rural tracks through small villages, farms, and vineyards. We had many opportunities to meet with local residents, and were always made to feel welcome. Great food and local wines, too. Our first time in Portugal and a terrific experience!

OnFoot office staff were very responsive to all our questions, the pre-booking materials were helpful, and the on-trip App and trail notes provided more than sufficient guidance to ensure easy navigation. The selection of accommodations was first-rate, varying from comfortable B&B's with lovely hosts to lodging in a restored monastery/pousada. The local contact was always available the couple of times we had questions. The tour pricing provided good value for the experience. We'd travel with On Foot again.

My parents and I had a fantastic trip walking the Welsh Borderlands. We got lucky with amazing sunny weather. Traversing the rolling green hills, having delicious beer at the inns we stayed in, and hopping the never ending quirky stiles were absolute highlights of the trip. The innkeepers and staff at Bishop's Castle, Clun, Knighton, Kington, and Hay-on-Wye were kind, thoughtful, and generous. The app through on foot was unbelievably helpful as were the maps and detailed walking instructions. We are certainly planning to do another on foot holidays trip in the future.

Debbie, the on foot administrative manager, was very helpful and reliable. She was able to help us with all our accommodations and travel needs. Sarah, our local guide, helped us stay on track when we got a little lost from time-to-time. They were all reachable and kind.

Walking in northern Portugal is a treat not to pass up. Unique villages, gorgeous landscapes/vistas and people who are always welcoming. Interesting architecture amid spring flowers and always flowering orange and lemon trees. This just might be paradise.

On Foot Holidays has the best ideas for walking in Europe. Their assessments of walking information, including hiking grades and estimated walking times come from actual experience. Seems like everyone at On Foot is a walker. Accommodations and restaurant recommendations are always tops. Their GPS app makes following trails a breeze. There can't be a more competent, reliable and friendly staff in the, travel business.

Hiking trip in north west Mallorca in the Tramuntana mountains organized by On Foot Holidays. Linear trek with delightful boutique hotels and lots of variety in the day to day hiking. Scrumptious food and sunny weather kept our group of 6 fueled and happy.

This is my 5th On Foot Holidays hiking trip in the past 10 years. Excellent attentive service and a real interest in providing first rate service not only with meticulous planning to provide interesting hikes and special hotels at quite reasonable rates. I've gone with groups of 2 through to 8 and each time, On Foot delivered 10 out of 10 service.

My wife and I did the 5 night self guided walk with Onfoot Holidays in late April

On Foot were excellent. Very professional and easy to deal with in the planning process. Followed up promptly when we had questions. Their support whilst we were on the actual walk was outstanding. There local on ground support is excellent.

Self guiding walking four day holiday across Devon from the Moor to the Coast. Amazing varied scenery, fabulous accommodation and a chance to see many aspects of Devon life.

Walk organised by On Foot Holidays. The support they provided was excellent, the App guiding the walk was clear and easy to use. The accommodation was high quality and the supporting bag transfer went smoothly.

This holiday was much more than a walk – it was a journey through generous landscapes and equally generous hospitality. We were deeply touched by the people we met, the care behind every detail, and the quiet beauty along the way. We returned with a head full of memories and a heart full of gratitude.

We were really impressed with On Foot Holidays – everything was thoughtfully prepared, communication was clear and friendly, and we felt well looked after from the very first contact to the end of the trip. You struck a perfect balance between structure and freedom, and that made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. Thank you for making it all run so smoothly!
