Rating for tour operator:Excellent service; Reliable, always quick response, always give what they promise: exciting, remote places, lovely accomodations, accurate walking notes;"self-guided walking holidays, for independent people in an unspoilt Europe"- We have used the tour operator 5 times- and our conclusion has been the same every time: this is it!
extremely well organised
We walked for 5 days in the Bohemian Paradise area of outstanding natural beauty in Czech republic, after a night in Central Prague. Waymarking on paths in the area is very good, so finding the route was not difficult. Our luggage was transported efficiently each day, allowing us to enjoy the walk without the weight! English was not widely spoken but we got by in German and using a translation app on the phone.The hotels were varied, and included ...

Waymarking on paths in the area is very good, so finding the route was not difficult. Our luggage was transported efficiently each day, allowing us to enjoy the walk without the weight! English was not widely spoken but we got by in German and using a translation app on the phone.The hotels were varied, and included a magnificent castle on a rocky promontory as well as a family-run hotel in the small town of Jicin, where the owners could not have been more helpful, even driving us to the station to catch our train back to Prague.
Rating for tour operator:The arrangements were very well co-ordinated by On Foot. All the information they sent in advance was very clear and comprehensive, even including up to date bus and railway times and everything needed to get us to and from the area. We would thoroughly recommend the holiday, which provided good value for money and a chance to visit an area relatively unknown to British people.
Inspiring walking around Amalfi Coast
Walking the Amalfi coast at the beginning of May. Varied, surprising, uplifting. Healthy too

Andalucia White Villages
We had a week long walking trip in the white villages of Andalucia in Grazalema Park. All accomodations were excellent. The routes and maps were great. Scenery was amazing.

Rating for tour operator:Tour Operator was very good. Tour was well organized yet flexible when needed. My wife needed a gluten free diet and this was easily accommodated at all locations.
We had an amazing week hiking in Slovenia
We arrived in Ljubljana and spent a day there. Then we got a train to Postojna, stayed nearby and then, over 6 days, hiked to Trieste. On one of these days we also saw the Skocjan Caves

Rating for tour operator:Everything was organized to perfection. Each step of the journey worked exactly as planned. The people at the company that I dealt with had a complete understanding of both my own situation and what we were attempting to accomplish. All correspondence with the operators was replied to punctually and with great accuracy. Payment was simple.
Sabine Hills
This was a point to point walking holiday and the first we have done with Onfoot holidays. We had a wonderful time. All the arrangements, luggage transfer, accommodation and route maps were excellent. The countryside was beautiful with flowers and trees just coming into leaf. The places we stayed were all small and charming yet each had it's own unique character. The food was delicious everywhere but especially in the two agroturismos we stayed in...
This was a point to point walking holiday and the first we have done with Onfoot holidays. We had a wonderful time. All the arrangements, luggage transfer, accommodation and route maps were excellent. The countryside was beautiful with flowers and trees just coming into leaf. The places we stayed were all small and charming yet each had it's own unique character. The food was delicious everywhere but especially in the two agroturismos we stayed in. The small hilltop towns were fascinating and there were few if any other tourists. We walked for between 4 and 6 and a half hours a day but there were choices of route to lengthen or shorten this.
Rating for tour operator:Excellent communication and response to all queries. The information pack we received with maps etc was the best we have ever had from similar travel companies organising walking holidays. We would highly recommend them and intend to travel with them again.
Wonderful Walking in Tuscany!
What a fantastic experience from beginning to end! The holiday was well organised, with wonderful accommodation, varied paths, historic hillside towns and beautiful scenery. We were even lucky with the weather as the sun shone on us for the entire week. As there were maps and walk descriptions provided this gave us the confidence to walk independently rather than walk to the pace of an organised group, with the added bonus of our accommodation ...

We were even lucky with the weather as the sun shone on us for the entire week. As there were maps and walk descriptions provided this gave us the confidence to walk independently rather than walk to the pace of an organised group, with the added bonus of our accommodation being booked and bags transferred.
Rating for tour operator:On Foot holidays are great! This was my fourth hoiday booked with them and each time i'm treated as an individual rather than just another customer. They really know their stuff and are happy to answer in depth questions about any aspect of the trip including getting there and back. It was also helpful to have a point of contact in the region you are staying as it gave an added sense of security in case there were any problems - not that there has been.
brilliant organisation
The success of a Self-guided walking holiday depends on preparation and backup. Our walking holiday in Andalucia was a great success because the guidance was brilliant and the accommodation, etc were great. we were even able to change what we did on the last day the previous evening!

Rating for tour operator:Incredibly helpful.
Delightful from start to finish.
The walks were along very interesting routes and the accommodation was always a pleasant surprise at the end of the day. Having your luggage transferred adds to the overall enjoyment of the trip.

Andalucian Cultural Trek
My On Foot Andalucian holiday was very memorable. I loved getting into the ancient heart of Andalucia, hiking through antique olive orchards and pastures that were created by hand centuries ago. We hiked down an 1800 year old Roman road. We climbed an ancient watchtower. We passed by countless stone fences from time immemorial, some very high in the mountains, that told the agricultural history of the area. And we passed by flocks of goat and ...
My On Foot Andalucian holiday was very memorable. I loved getting into the ancient heart of Andalucia, hiking through antique olive orchards and pastures that were created by hand centuries ago. We hiked down an 1800 year old Roman road. We climbed an ancient watchtower. We passed by countless stone fences from time immemorial, some very high in the mountains, that told the agricultural history of the area. And we passed by flocks of goat and sheep, sometimes with attending shepherds, that made it a living history. I marveled at the connection I felt with the history of this area throughout the holiday. The hike was well thought out. The lengths were perfect for a challenging daily trek ,but allowing enough time to find our hotels, freshen up, and head out for some daily tapas and exploration of the local town. i will remember this holiday for it's beauty, solitude and unique cultural experience for years to come. I have already spread the word about On Foot Holidays to friends and family and am looking at booking future trips for myself. I highly recommend On Foot to anyone who is looking for a genuine cultural experience.
Rating for tour operator:The service provided by On Foot Holidays exceeded my expectations. The level of organization was perfect. On Foot thought of every detail, from packing tips, to help with travel suggestions to and from the route. In addition they personalized the experience by helping coordinate my trip with the trip of another client and close friend of mine. Though we made separate bookings On Foot knew that we planned to hike together and went out of their way to book us in the same hotels and restaurants when possible. From booking questions through travel preparation and finally in follow up On Foot was very responsive. Emails were returned promptly and all questions were addressed directly and thoroughly and with a cheery tone. I couldn't be happier with On Foot Holidays.
