On Foot Holidays - Mallorca by curious walker, 16 Mar 2023
Holiday Rating:

We loved the towns, scenery and the food in Mallorca.

We loved the towns, scenery and the food in Mallorca. On our one day in Palma, at the suggestion of the hotel staff, we attended the regional food fair that was going on at a nearby park. What a treat. We had a chance to sample a number of delicious local specialties. My favourite was the 'black paella'. This was a once a year event that was held over several days.

We loved the towns, scenery and the food in Mallorca. On our one day in Palma, at the suggestion of the hotel staff, we attended the regional food fair that was going on at a nearby park. What a treat. We had a chance to sample a number of delicious local specialties. My favourite was the 'black paella'. This was a once a year event that was held over several days. When the storm blew in and weren't permitted to walk due to safety concerns, we suited up and explored the towns. In Soller, Jardins d'Alfàbia was closed to the power outage, but we did get to visit the Botanitcal garden which was lovely, well worth the visit. So despite not being able to actually do the trekking due to the Juliette storm, we had a good holiday. So a rating of good rather than excellent due to the weather.

Rating for tour operator:

Our self guided trekking tour was very well organized with great documentation and support. We particularly enjoyed the detailed background information on Mallorca. All the hotels used by the tour operator were unique and well run. Any queries by email were promptly responded to. Special requests attended to. The nicest tour group I have ever booked a trip with. So despite the named storm disrupting our holiday, we would love to go back, and make a 2nd attempt at the OnFoot trekking holiday in Mallorca.

On Foot Holidays - Andalucia by Magical Ronda and More!, 7 Mar 2023

Andalucia

What an incredible journey! It was really something to see the White Mountains of Ronda and learn the history of all these cliffside villages as we went along. Being able to go in January, which is when I had vacation, was really special and we did not share the paths with many other hikers. We were treated beautifully at all the hotels and lodges despite the off season timing. The wildness of the paths (sometimes marked only by cairns) added ...

What an incredible journey! It was really something to see the White Mountains of Ronda and learn the history of all these cliffside villages as we went along. Being able to go in January, which is when I had vacation, was really special and we did not share the paths with many other hikers. We were treated beautifully at all the hotels and lodges despite the off season timing. The wildness of the paths (sometimes marked only by cairns) added to the adventure and the distances were manageable for this slow walker. What a spectacular area of Spain! And I am so grateful to all the staff of On Foot Holidays, as they quite graciously put together this complicated trip at the last minute for us. It was an unforgettable trip for my daughter and me, and knowing that our beloved tour company will handle all the important details makes it a real vacation for us. Thank you, again, from the bottom of my heart.

Rating for tour operator:

They dream up these incredible off-the-beaten-track trips and then they walk them to make sure all of it is doable and perfect. Having a local contact who lives in Andalucia and knows all the ins and outs (and who was very responsive by text) really gives you so much more security. There is nothing On Foot doesn't think of, and it is a pleasure to plan and correspond with them, always.

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.

On Foot - Lighthouse Way by Sheryl, 21 Feb 2023

Best hiking girlfriend holiday

In the past I have backpacked all of my gear on adventures. This was awesome - our bags were reliably transferred daily. The daily hikes offered variations which enabled us to shorten some days to relax and enjoy the small towns when we preferred. The scenery was breathtaking. Each days sights varied from the previous. Meals were delicious and accommodation selections couldn't have been more comfortable.

On Foot staff went above and beyond in accommodation recommendations. As we initially booked our trip just prior to Covid we did have to rebook more than once. Staff were always helpful with suggestions, responded promptly to questions and were encouraging when it came to figuring out the GPS tracking system. I would not hesitate to book another adventure with On Foot and their staff.

Walking in La Gomera

6 days walking in La Gomera on organised walking tour. First time used organised tour and was great success. Highly enjoyable, if quite strenuous, walking across the mountains of this beautiful sub-tropical island. Accommodation very comfortable and would highly recommend.

Organised everything about the holiday - detailed walking instructions, all accommodation, advice on where to eat, support with buses or taxis as required, etc. Information provided ahead of the holiday was superb. Support during the holiday was exceptional, always available, immediately sorted out whatever required doing.

Winter walking in Andalucia

We did the Andalucia walk with On Foot Holidays in early December 2022. Their planning and guidance were superb, as ever, which meant that we were able to enjoy the walking fully and know that all necessary arrangements were in hand.

On Foot Holidays communicated promptly and clearly at every stage, making sure that we were completely happy with the proposed itinerary and accommodation. Their pricing is clear, the website easy to navigate, and personal attention from all the team makes this a very good operator from start to finish.

First of (hopefully) many walking tours

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.

On Foot - Basque Pyrenees by C&T, 21 Dec 2022

Fabulous Basque Walking Holiday

We spent five fabulous days in October walking from Elizondo in The Basque Pyrenees to the coastal city of San Sebastian, and wish we had signed on for the longer walk! We particularly loved the walking in the Basque hills. The landscape and villages here are beautiful and the walking routes quiet and peaceful. We loved staying in the different hotels and pensions and trying the local food and drink. We spent an extra night in San Sebastian ...

We particularly loved the walking in the Basque hills. The landscape and villages here are beautiful and the walking routes quiet and peaceful. We loved staying in the different hotels and pensions and trying the local food and drink. We spent an extra night in San Sebastian at the end of the walk to enjoy pintxos and city life.

This is the second holiday we have booked with On Foot Holidays and we have nothing but praise for them. Everything was seamlessly organised, from sorting out our itinerary (including a rest day in the middle), to helping me understand the GPS app. The maps and route notes are great and together with the GPS, route finding was no problem. Our local contact for the walk, Aznar, was excellent, checking in with us regularly and we are so pleased we took his advice to bag a small peak on one of the days!

Self guided walking holiday on the island of La Gomera

Very enjoyable walking from hotel to hotel on a beautiful island which is not as commercially developed as other Canary Islands. Walking around 5 to 6 hours every day with some steep ascents. Had no problems finding my way alone thanks to maps, route notes and gpx files which were included.

I often go on self guided walks and consider On Foot Holidays to be very reliable. I have been with them several times and am always pleased with the service they provide. Everything works according to plan with very helpful staff.
