Ligurian Hills by Taylor, 12 Aug 2014

Ligurian Hills

It was great to get off the beaten tourist routes with this holiday and my husband and I enjoyed exploring some wonderful trails with amazing views in the Ligurian Hills. The walks were stunning and the accommodation and food were fantastic. We loved the mix of places we visited and the welcome from the various hoteliers and albergo owners was very warm. A wonderful experience.

We love travelling with On Foot Holidays - they always find the most stunning walks to follow and you stay in a fantastic mix of accommodation along the way. Their service is warm, personal and very efficient and the information they supply is thorough, informative and really adds to the holiday experience. A fabulous company with whom to go exploring.

great unguided walking in a beautiful environment

the walk ws everything and more than we expected. The environment was beautiful and varied, the walk was challenging, the weather was perfect for walking, the accommodation was very good,and the real plus for we 67 year olds was the fact that we didn't have to carry a heavy pack.

'On Foot' were excellent from the time we first made enquiries about the walk until the time we departed on our holiday They followed up all questions quickly and courteously and were happy to make any adjustments we requested in regard to accommodation A very comprehensive walker's pack was provided and it was reassuring knowing that a local contact was at the end of a phone call should we have needed assistance We would definitely use them again and recommend them to others

Amalfi

Excellent. Extremely detailed route notes that were extraordinarily accurate. We went with upgraded hotels but all were very suitable.

Walking in the Sabine Hills

Our walk trip started about 100 kms north of Rome and involved walking between Hill towns in the Sabine Hills. Our ages are 75 and 69 but we managed the walking comfortably though we were pleasantly tired at the end of each day.

I found the On Foot team very efficient and helpful. They were quick to organise the bookings and were always very quick to reply to any queries we had about the trip. The "walk package" was well presented and very comprehensive with maps(with the route marked), walk notes, historical information and good restaurant tips. They followed up with a questionaire and were keen to take notice of our comments. We thought the accommodation was very well chosen with hosts who were keen to help us. At the end of a day's walking they provided exceptional meals.

Mallorca: Serra de Tramuntana by JandJ, 9 Jul 2014

Great walking, spectacular scenery

Our On Foot holiday in Mallorca was superb. The route descriptions were accurate and very useful (also for other walkers!), the walking was varied, with spectacular views, the hotels were all very special and friendly, and as usual everything was very well organised, including the taxi transfers. All in all, top marks to the team at On Foot Holidays!

On the basis of our experience with On Foot Holidays in France two years ago, we decided to book another walking holiday through them and were not disappointed. They offer a very personal service and make you feel almost like friends. The maps and other information provided are very comprehensive and accurate. We would certainly book with them again.

Southern Tuscany by Pasta lover, 7 Jul 2014

A great holiday to enjoy some hidden Tuscan sights

We loved the Tuscan walks and the beautiful and varied scenery. We enjoyed the fun of finding a new village and a different hotel in places we might otherwise have not visited. It was a great holiday and one we will repeat.

Z - Sabine Hills by Long Tall Sally, 3 Jul 2014

Some interesting walking with the reward of friendly hosts, tasty, home cooked local food and a comfortable bed every evening.

Good varied walking in little known and untouristy countryside. Excellent organisation in terms of walking notes, collection off baggage and the wonderful hosts in the small and friendly places we stayed.

Seem to be a small outfit who give very personal attention, explaining all details, with friendliness and professionalism. A real pleasure to deal with by phone and email.

Wonderful 7 night holiday walking along the Amalfi coast

We went to the Amalfi coast in mid May and had good weather. The scenery is breathtaking and the wild flowers were lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed all the small hotels where we stayed. We easily navigated our way on the walks, some quite tiring, but manageable for anyone of average fitness. Amalfi is a great place to stay and we really enjoyed exploring the tiny alleyways and steps between the houses. The climb to Ravello is well rewarded ...

Amalfi is a great place to stay and we really enjoyed exploring the tiny alleyways and steps between the houses. The climb to Ravello is well rewarded by the beautiful views from the Cimbrone gardens and the traffic free streets and squares. The walk continues along the coast to Praiano and Positano and we then spent a day exploring the Sorrento peninsular - all just great.

On Foot Holidays are the best company I have used for booking a walking holiday. The walks were very well planned and the information, maps and directions we were sent were accurate and extremely useful with lots of extra detail and background information. I have never been sent such clear walking notes with each day in a separate plastic wallet. All the staff I spoke/e-mailed were very knowledgeable and helpful and responded very quickly to queries. The hotels chosen were ideal and there was also a local person contactable for help should you need it.

Slovenia - the best kept secret in Europe

We have just completed the Slovenian walk from Lake Cerknica to Trieste through the limestone karst area. It took us 8 days and we took advantage of the suggested extra side trips as well. (Postojna Caves, Predjama Castle, Lipica Horse Stud and Skocjan Caves). We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of walking through varied countryside, local farm accommodation and getting to know the area intimately (particularly wild strawberries, figs and ...

We have just completed the Slovenian walk from Lake Cerknica to Trieste through the limestone karst area. It took us 8 days and we took advantage of the suggested extra side trips as well. (Postojna Caves, Predjama Castle, Lipica Horse Stud and Skocjan Caves). We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of walking through varied countryside, local farm accommodation and getting to know the area intimately (particularly wild strawberries, figs and cherries). We were very fortunate with the weather, having mild sunny days most of the time. It was a wonderful holiday.

We have been dealing with On Foot Holidays for about a year now as we booked and planned our trip to Slovenia. They were so helpful even about advice not directly related to the trip (train travel in Europe for example). We cannot recommend them highly enough for their quick, honest responses and the care taken to ensure every detail of the trip was organised so there were no hiccups or stressful moments. Even to pre-booking taxis for the extra activities. We loved the cultural/ historical notes in our guidebook and the instructions, especially about when and how much to tip specific people, so that we could be politically correct and not embarrass ourselves in such gracious company. Their planning is meticulous and their interaction is personal and highly professional. We will definitely be using this company again.
