On Foot Holidays Traveller Reviews

Excellent accomodation and food. Great info on walks with alternatives. Everyone very helpful. Good to see a new place each day

Very professional and helpful

This was an immaculately researched walking holiday in an area of agricultural time-warp where the fields and woods were ablaze with beautiful wildflowers and buzzing with life. The farms we stayed at were welcoming and comfortable and largely self-sufficient in delicious food and wines.

I can't praise On Foot Holidays highly enough for their friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable service, the back up of their walk notes and phone app meant they were with us every step of the way!

Our first experience of a family walking holiday that exceeded all expectations of scenery, wildlife, food and hospitality. Over 10 days we visited Corfu, then by ferry to the mainland to Kapesovo, Monodendri through the stunning Vikos Gorge to Papingo and a fabulous walk to the Dragon Lake through a carpet of wild flowers. By two day detour we walked to the monasteries on Meteora (a world heritage site) and then home via Corfu. Each walk was carefully planned by On Foot Holiday in smallest detail in medium/ difficult terrain of 10 kms and ranging from 3-6 hrs challenging for middle aged legs but so rewarding by the end of the day.

On Foot Holidays provided an excellent service and more importantly detailed route instructions maps, guidebooks and further reading. The choice of hotels were excellent and thier local representatives more than anxious to help and ensure our stay with them was the very best experience.

We, a family of 3 from California, hiked the Italian Riviera from Amalfi to Sorrento over the course of a week. It was a fantastic experience & On Foot Holidays made it a hassle-free, trouble-free adventure. Wake, up, breakfast, & go, with On Foot taking care of all the details. We hiked beautiful coastline, forest and ridge tops, passing lovely villages and trattorias & the occasional medieval ruin. After a day of hiking, we'd settle into out hotel, clean up and make the important decision of where to eat! I managed to lose 5 lbs, even with all the pasta and wine! And nothing has ever tasted so good after a day of hiking as lemon gelato eaten while gazing at the Mediterranean.

On Foot was professional and thorough. They planned for every detail, gave us excellent resource material and kept in touch through all the planning stages. Emails were answered promptly & I felt that they were glad to tailor our vacation to our needs, changing details for me with no difficulty and always a pleasant manner.

We booked a walking tour of Amalfi coast Italy with On Foot holidays. The design was excellent. The routes had majestic views but also vary from day to day so there are different flavors to appreciate. The many options from easy to hard make it a breeze to adjust to any unpredictable events-- be it a foot injury or bad weather-- and still have a fantastic time. After only three or four days of the tour, it felt like we had been on vacation for a week already because we had experienced and seen so much more than we normally do on vacations.

The company provided detailed information ahead of time, were very responsive and courteous throughout the many correspondences we had with them. The information provided were organized and accurate. All hotel bookings and luggage transfers went without a glitch.

I had spotted The Ligurian Old Salt Route trip with On Foot Holidays in a copy of the Week and immediately contacted friends to organise a trip. From the moment our adventure began we enjoyed every second. The views and ridge walking were the highlight, but only by a whisker. The accommodation was completely varied but without exception the warmth of welcome and the standard of hospitality and food were incredible. We were a group well into our 60's and two over 70 and we are regular mountaineers and walkers ... One of the party leads in Europe and worldwide for a walking company and the instructions and maps were faultless. We were really sad to reach the end as we had enjoyed our (sometimes challenging and strenuous) walks each day with the anticipation of the reward at the end of the day with a new and exciting Albergo, Private home, mountain hotel etc. The memories and photos are a constant reminder of our wonderful holiday and the talk is now of which of On Foot Walking's to book next year! Brilliant and efficient company.

From the initial enquiry we found everything about On Foot Holidays efficient and helpful. The pack of maps and guidance notes were great and they even included a map holder which was most useful. The website covers all the details, one might need to know and all aspects were well documented. They have a great knack of selecting accommodation of the highest standard even if only two star and in villages away from the tourist hotspots so that we could glimpse the real Italy with its culture and cuisine.

Absolutely amazing walking holiday in unspoilt Northern Portugal! Beautiful villages, stunning scenery and delicious food. It's very hard to beat a lovely walk in gorgeous scenery, followed by an evening in a quiet village with only the odd cow passing along the road for traffic and enjoying good food, good wine and good company!

Everything was organised quickly and efficiently by the extremely friendly and helpful staff of On-Foot both at the office in England and on the ground in Portugal. I particularly appreciated being able to talk to them about the walk before we booked as one of our party has quite severe vertigo and it was great to be able to chat through the walk with someone who had done it recently in order to ensure this wouldn't be a problem. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them, from ensuring allergies were catered for, to adding a last minute addition at very short notice. Would strongly recommend. This was my 3rd holiday with them and I know I will be back!

On Foot has planned a wonderful walk in the northern Portuguese hills with charming local hotels; well catered with local produce and wine. Interesting to be in rural un-touristed areas with outstanding scenery and friendly people.

Very helpful and really well organised and supportive. They have planned and set up unusual walks through out Europe; I have used their holidays before and continue to be impressed with their imaginative walking tours and their excellent communication

The holiday was amazing. Mallorca was a complete surprise, from the sophistication of Palma, to the dramatic craggy TRAMUNTANA mountain range, the wonderful food and wine, and the beautiful people of the island. The walking was challenging, villages were unspoilt, the views were dramatic., and the landscape constantly changing. The walk started in Palma and was across the TRAMUNTANA mountain range, along old cobblestone paths and mule tracks. , finishing in the mountain town of ALARO. We stayed in Banyulbafar , perched amongst ancient terracing and surrounded by Mulvasia vines,. fashionable Valdermossa,, the gateway to the Archdukes Path, probably one of the most spectacular walks we have ever experienced. Onto Soller, surrounded by orange and lemon groves,, walking the Biarranc de BINIARAIX, then to ALARO though craggy olive groves. We experienced tradition Mallorquina food and tapas, as well as sophisticated fusion food, using the wonderful range of local ingredients,. We would thoroughly recommend this walking adventure.

This was our 4th walk with On Foot Holidays. We are Australian, and have found the company excellent, There is a lot of competition out their for tha active traveller market, and we have used other walking tour operators. What makes On Foot. Stand out is they design the walks,, walk the trails regularly ,and have excellent contacts on the ground locally. The walking and trip notes are excellent and they are constantly updating you, even when on the trail. Any problems are rapidly solved., and you know when you contact the office that they know where their walkers are and when they are travelling. An outstanding service . Unfortunately a lot of other tour operators are subcontractors and really have no insight into their clients needs, and some know very little about the routes they are offering. On Foot is unique in the service they offer and also in the routes they offer, which is unspoilt Europe.

Fantastic from start to finish. Excellent accommodation, charming little villages, amazing labyrinths of paths winding through the hillsides.

Perfectly organised from start to finish. Very friendly contact by telephone happy to answer all our queries. A high quality information pack provided and everything well planned.
