Walking Holiday on the beautiful island of La Gomera

We flew to Tenerife and then caught the ferry to La Gomera. We then spent 6 days walking around the island with its amazing varied landscape. We stayed in 4 different locations on La Gomera ending with a rest day in San Sebastian.

We have now done three walking holidays with On Foot Holidays and I can't fault them for anything! Their communication with you and the information they provide is superb; from an initial phone call to discuss a route to detailed information on every aspect of your holiday to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

La Gomera, another fabulous holiday with On Foot

This was our 11th holiday with On Foot, and definitely up there with the best. Fascinating and varied landscapes on the volcanic island. The cloud forest was unique. The walking was on good paths. some challenging uphills, but with options to miss those if you wish. Lovely hotels with excellent breakfasts, and a mix of restaurants to try in the evenings. A couple of nights in the Parador in San Sebastián at the end of the walk was the perfect finish...

On Foot now have a new App with all the maps and information for the walk. There really isn't any excuse for taking a wrong turning!

We always look forward to our holidays with On Foot. We are so well looked after from booking through to the trip home. The whole team is great to deal with. Advice and recommendations are always to hand, and we have learnt will always be honest and trustworthy. Their new App which contains all the information for the holiday as well as the maps and navigation guidance will be a great asset when it is rolled out to other routes.

Southern Tuscany by Amelia, 20 Nov 2024

Walking through Tuscany

Excellent hiking trip walking through rolling hills of Tuscany and then climbing up to hilltop towns at the end of the day. The countryside is beautiful, even when it rained. Bring poles for sure as the clay soil in Tuscany is incredibly slippery in the rain. We stayed an extra night in Montalcino and 2 nights in Montepulciano. Highly recommend as there is so much to see around and in the towns.

This was our fourth trip with On Foot and they were excellent as usual. So responsive, professional and yet personal at the same time. We tell everyone to try On Foot.

Classic Slovenia by Solo, 17 Nov 2024

A Slovenian Encounter

My walk through the Karst countryside was a wonderful way to experience a small section of Slovenia. The App developed by On Foot Holidays both kept me on track and gave interesting snippets of the areas I passed through, and was ideal for a solo walker. Although I also carried the maps provided, I found I didn't need them. My route traversed woods, farmland and small villages via a combination of walking tracks, gravel roads and minor surfaced ...

My walk through the Karst countryside was a wonderful way to experience a small section of Slovenia. The App developed by On Foot Holidays both kept me on track and gave interesting snippets of the areas I passed through, and was ideal for a solo walker. Although I also carried the maps provided, I found I didn't need them. My route traversed woods, farmland and small villages via a combination of walking tracks, gravel roads and minor surfaced roads. Even the final stage between Oipcina and Trieste, where I expected to spend a large part of the day along busy roads, took me through woodland reserves, initially with expansive views of the Gulf of Trieste. Highlights were the wildflower display over Nanos while on route to Vipava, and my visit to the spectacular Skocjan Caves. My accommodation was of a high standard, and the generous and flavorsome meals provided by my hosts were culinary delights. It was a pleasure to not have to carry a backpack, and my luggage was always delivered to my evening accommodation promptly by my cheerful and courteous driver.

I found On Foot Holidays to be very professional, highly organised, and very easy to communicate with. The background detail was informative, and the route information was spot on. Additional information such as train and bus details and restaurant recommendations were very welcome.

Great walks in Tuscany

We had an excellent walking holiday in Tuscany but had to make concessions due to previous months rain, muddy trails.

Yorkshire Dales by Heather A, 11 Nov 2024

Natural beauty and cozy comfort in the Yorkshire Dales

We walked the Yorkshire Dales and were submerged in jaw-dropping vistas and serene beauty. Our trails and paths led us through emerald green fields and over grassy moorlands where our only company were the sheep and cows grazing in the wild. Each night was spent at a cozy inn where we relaxed with a local ale and a cozy fire. An exceptional trip planned perfectly by our friends at On Foot Holidays.

To work with On Foot Holidays is to experience the delight of a private concierge at the price of a group tour. Their attention to detail, the wealth of information they provide to set you up for the best possible experience, it all adds up to a flawless experience. To be able to experience something as individuals moving at your own pace, but have the support that OFH provides, is truly unique and valuable.

On Foot Holiday, Andalucia Spain

My husband and I had a wonderful 7 day walking experience walking the white villages of Andalucia, Spain. This was our second trip with OnFootHoliday (our 1st was to Cornwall, UK) and it was fantastic. The communication with the staff prior and during the trip was quick, thorough and easy. Sue, our contact while on the trip, was easy to connect with and she responded to our questions/inquiries quickly. The route was beautiful, serene and also ...

My husband and I had a wonderful 7 day walking experience walking the white villages of Andalucia, Spain. This was our second trip with OnFootHoliday (our 1st was to Cornwall, UK) and it was fantastic. The communication with the staff prior and during the trip was quick, thorough and easy. Sue, our contact while on the trip, was easy to connect with and she responded to our questions/inquiries quickly. The route was beautiful, serene and also challenging. Each village was unique, picturesque and truly reflected the history of that region of Spain. We walked through miles and miles of olive orchards on dirt paths with some occasional goats, cows or horses joining us on route. The terrain had a lot of elevation gain and we were glad we had hiking poles with us. The lodging was very comfortable and the hotel staff went out of their way to make us comfortable. Most of the lodging had swimming pools which we found refreshing after a long day of hiking. The OnFootHoliday app worked great. It notified us with a beeping sound when we went off the track and reassured us we were walking in the right direction when we were uncertain. We also appreciated having the printed out map and directions as back up. The restaurant recommendations and other information in the app were very helpful. Thank you OnFootHoliday for another memorable vacation. I am already dreaming of our next vacation with OnFootHoliday.

Communication prior to booking, after we booked and while on our holiday was excellent. On Foot Holiday staff got back to us right in a timely manner and answered all of our questions. They booked our lodging and even made dinner reservations for us. The app was very helpful. Not only did it have a GPS that described our daily route, but it showed us where we were in real time and let us know when we had left the route. It provided information about each hotel we'd be staying in and helpful information about each village and information about the region. We felt supported by On Foot Holiday throughout the planning phase all the way through the end of our travels.

Dordogne with On Foot by Cav, 9 Nov 2024

Great

Was all good the new app definitely helped make life easier to navigate. Only had a couple of days of rain but we were lucky with the walking as only rained on us once and not for long. Having extra days in the villages worked well as it helped us explore the areas more. The village and country people were all so very friendly and would go out of their way to have a chat with you.

The eight-day hike through the Basque Pyrenees was delightful. The trails and terrain were varied in difficulty and scenery, and the accommodations included some of the most comfortable and quaint we’ve stayed in on similar hikes. Notable, too, was the exceptional customer service from On Foot. We were assigned a local contact that provided immediate assistance when needed, let us know about weather conditions that might have affected our day’s hike, made dinner recommendations, and even suggested a route alteration when a storm was on the horizon so we wouldn’t miss out on what was billed as the most stunning portion of the trip.in addition to the local contact, the office staff provided on-the-ground support when we had a question about the GPS file for our trip. We’ve done self-guided trips with other companies and this one with On Foot ranked at the top.
