Amalfi Coast with On Foot by The Gelato Hiker, 23 Oct 2014

Amalfi Coast Walk

We did the Amalfi Coast Walk - organised by On Foot Holidays. The walk started in Amalfi and we did various local walks and then along the coast to Praiano, Positano , Sant Agata and finishing in Sorrento. On Foot organised all the hotels, baggage transfers and provided maps and walking guides for each day. Everything was professionally organised, no hiccups , hotels knew we were coming and our baggage was collected each day and arrived in the ...

On Foot organised all the hotels, baggage transfers and provided maps and walking guides for each day. Everything was professionally organised, no hiccups , hotels knew we were coming and our baggage was collected each day and arrived in the room that day in the next place. We were not experienced hikers although we have done a lot of walking so we were pleased to have the maps and to be taken to places and areas that the normal tourist wouldn't know. We chatted to locals in their houses, walked through olive groves, climbed steeped terraces and experienced spectacular views. The weather was amazing. We felt energised with all the new smells, sounds and experiences and can't wait to do another. OnFoot were really great- very professional and friendly. To sum up - we would sit at the end of a long walking day looking out over Amalfi harbour with a lovely glass of local wine , then look up the escarpment and think - we climbed that today!

Classic Slovenia by Dr J W 14, 23 Oct 2014

Slovenia to Italy in the Karst Country

Never had a walking holiday but enjoyed the walks and had good weather. The walking notes were generally excellent with one or two ambiguous instructions. The GPS track and the downloaded maps got us out of trouble twice. One suggestion when you are walking through scrubby woods between stone walls it would be nice to have some intermediate way points. It would allow you to know where you are in the walking notes have a map reference. The ...

The GPS track and the downloaded maps got us out of trouble twice. One suggestion when you are walking through scrubby woods between stone walls it would be nice to have some intermediate way points. It would allow you to know where you are in the walking notes have a map reference. The tourist farms are quite varied but the accommodation was excellent. Marij washing machine is a godsend but the price is now 4Euros and the Villa Opicina tram is now 1.3Euro/person

Very good at communicating either by e-mail or phone despite the fact we live on different continents

Good valid points, thank you John. Notes duly amended and we will look at the intermediate waypoint idea. We know those woods!

Stunningly beautiful walking tour of Amalfi Coast with side trips to Capri and Pompeii

Our vacation organized by On Foot Holidays was everything I had hoped for and more. We had an absolutely fantastic trip and within 24 hrs of arriving home from Italy I was on On Foot's website looking to see where we could go next. We were extremely happy with the route notes, the luggage transfers, the support, and most importantly, the accommodations. Initially we weren't quite sure what to make of On Foot Holidays because no one we knew had ever heard of them (we live in the U.S.); we only came across them after a Google search, but from our first inquiry through countless others, On Foot was friendly and responsive and it was clear they stood behind their product.

Z - Catalonia: La Garrotxa by Helen, 19 Oct 2014
Holiday Rating:

Catalonia. An excellent walking holiday in an interesting area.

We loved the walking in Catalonia. The mountains were dramatic and each day was different in scenery. We were blessed with lovely hot weather in October. Mostly we met no other walkers except at the weekend when local come from the towns to pick mushrooms. We enjoyed the solitude, the grandeur of the mountains and the wild flowers and fruits. Everywhere we went the locals were friendly, for the most part we ate well, slept well and returned ...

Everywhere we went the locals were friendly, for the most part we ate well, slept well and returned fit and refreshed. It worked well to add on a few days in Barcelona, only 1 1/2 hours away by bus from the final destination.

We are regular walkers with On Foot and find that their service is second to none. They take the trouble to cater for each customer as individuals and design each holiday to suit any special circumstances if at all possible. The routes are wonderfully planned and every detail is taken care of; from baggage handling to special diets and from transport advice to local information on fauna and flora. Care is taken to choose accommodation with a personal touch wherever possible, a variety of individual guesthouses that you would never find yourself but are just right. Good food is a priority too. There are comprehensive walking notes and maps so you never get lost but can just enjoy the walking.

Rhine Valley by Tiny, 17 Oct 2014

Wonderful walking the Rhine Valley

Walking from Bingen to Koblenz following the Rhine. Staying in hotels & two castles along the way. Luggage transfer, hotels & food all excellent, as was the wine! In spite of the wine our walking instructions were perfect & we managed not to get lost.

Walking in unspoilt Greece

It was a gem! Starting with a couple of days in Corfu, followed by a short ferry trip to the mainland and Ali Pasha's stronghold of Ioannina, then on to the beautiful, unspoilt Zagori area of northern Greece with its stunning stone villages and spectacular Vikos Gorge, and ending amongst the bizarre limestone pinnacles and ancient monasteries of Meteora. Walking is such a fabulous way to get off the beaten track, leave the crowds behind and ...

Starting with a couple of days in Corfu, followed by a short ferry trip to the mainland and Ali Pasha's stronghold of Ioannina, then on to the beautiful, unspoilt Zagori area of northern Greece with its stunning stone villages and spectacular Vikos Gorge, and ending amongst the bizarre limestone pinnacles and ancient monasteries of Meteora. Walking is such a fabulous way to get off the beaten track, leave the crowds behind and really experience this part of the world. For independent walkers this was the perfect balance of interesting terrain, quality organisation and support, and comfortable accommodation.

Rating for tour operator:

Very efficient and responsive. We were lucky enough to be able to take longer than the advertised time for this trip and On Foot tailored an extended itinerary specially for us. They provide extremely comprehensive information including very accurate and detailed notes for each days walking. They get it just right in terms of accommodation and support. All arrangements like luggage transfer, transport etc work like clockwork. This is the second year we have used them and they will definitely be our first port of call in the future.

Amalfi Coast with On Foot by Uncle John, 10 Oct 2014
Holiday Rating:

Best holiday I can remember

On Foot set us up with a 'tailored' version of their Amalfi Coast route, and gave us considerate and realistic advice on how to get the best from every day. Early flight to Naples; easy bus to Salerno; spectacular ferry to Amalfi; wonderful walks to Ravello, Praiano, Positano, Sant'Agata, Sorrento; educational visit to Ercolano. Friendly and comfortable hotels at every stage.

The people at On Foot are a team of happy and experienced walkers themselves. They listen carefully to the client's wishes, offer creative advice, and keep their promises. The On Foot maps and guides are the best I have ever encountered.

Istria

A wonderful varied walk through the Istrian Peninsular staying in simple places where we really felt we got a true picture of the countryside. We walked from 4 - 6 hours each day on good tracks, some of which we believed to date back to the medieval time when the towns we visited were built. We walked through vineyards and sampled the local wine, ate delicious Istrian ham and ended the walk at the coast in a lovely small seaside town, and swimming ...

The organisation and information provided by On Foot Holidays was superb. Their walking notes were excellent, clear and accurate.we were also provided with a book of information about transport arrangements, accommodation, contact telephone numbers and so much more including advice on what to tip taxi drivers etc and also a very good brief history of the country.
