Fabulous Dolomites walking tour, very well organised, excellent guides
On Foot Holidays organised our self guided walking tour in the Dolomites, with excellent maps and clear walking notes, going from place to place. All overnight stops worked well, hotels were locally characteristic and welcoming, the transport of our luggage was very efficient, even the weather was arranged perfectly! Well done, and thank you!

Efficient, did what they said they would do, well organised, really good proactive contact and support. Couldn't ask for more.





Brilliantly thought through
Everything we needed to prepare was there for us, directions, from walking out of the airport to get a train,to train times and options on the way back. Carefully selected friendly hotels, superb maps and directions for walking ( lovely weather but also alternatives in case it wasn't!). Bags transported without problems, hotels expecting us and happy to change rooms to ones with baths when possible, lovely food in each, and a call the day before ...
Everything we needed to prepare was there for us, directions, from walking out of the airport to get a train,to train times and options on the way back. Carefully selected friendly hotels, superb maps and directions for walking ( lovely weather but also alternatives in case it wasn't!). Bags transported without problems, hotels expecting us and happy to change rooms to ones with baths when possible, lovely food in each, and a call the day before we left to check we were ready and wish us well. The only criticism was the local rep did not call us, tho to be honest we did not need her and we had her number if we had done.

Called back when they said they would,called us the day before to wish us a good holiday, easy to pay, talked us through the levels of fitness etc needed, one of the staff had done the walks so spoke from experience. Easy to use web site, friendly and open staff, in short, great!





Sweet Slovenia
This was a self guided walking tour from Ljubljana to Trieste. We stayed mostly in tourist farms with our luggae being transported each day. The walking was quite easy, but the scenery was stunning and the villages we passed through and stayed in were always interesting.

From our first contact On Foot Holidays were responsive and helpful. When we were finalising our itinerary staff made themselves available to respond to our email enquiries over a weekend and despite the time difference between Australia and England. All tour arrangemnts went according to plan with delightful individual touches.

On Foot Holidays, professional and personal.





On foot in the Cotes du Rhone
Starting in Avignon, we had eleven days walking arranged by On Foot Holidays through delightful scenic countryside and charming villages. The hotels were wonderful and at every place we stayed our host told us that they always reserved their best rooms for their On Foot customers. It was late September and early October. The grapes were ripening and the southern Cotes du Rhone wine typified by Gigondas was rich and spicy. The highlight of the ...
Starting in Avignon, we had eleven days walking arranged by On Foot Holidays through delightful scenic countryside and charming villages. The hotels were wonderful and at every place we stayed our host told us that they always reserved their best rooms for their On Foot customers. It was late September and early October. The grapes were ripening and the southern Cotes du Rhone wine typified by Gigondas was rich and spicy. The highlight of the walk was a circular walk/scramble through the Dentelles de Montmirail. This was the seventh time we have walked with On Foot. We've never had a complaint or a disappointment, and we strongly recommend them to all their potential customers.

Even though we have never met the On Foot people, we feel like they are our friends. And the very best of friends at that! We are amazed at the quality of the holiday experience they put together for very reasonable prices, and we have found that other walkers we have met being looked after by different companies are always envious of the quality of our maps and guidance notes, and in particular of the places we stay. The hotel in Avignon was a beautiful former Abbey, the hotel in Venasque was perched on a cliff top with spectacular views, in Mazan we stayed in the former chateau of the Marquis de Sade, and in Vaison la Romaine we stayed right in the heart of the beautiful Old town.





Walking in Liguria
A week walking from Voghera, south of Milan, to Carmogli on the Mediterranean. Extremely well organised by On Foot Holidays, and a most enjoyable trip.

Well priced, very well organised, and a pleasure to deal with - nothing is too much trouble.





Walking holidays in Croatia, Turkey, and France
In 2013, my wife and I did the Cotes du Rhone walk. In 2012, my wife and I did the Lycian Way walk, along the south coast of Turkey. In 2011, my wife and I did the Croatian coastal walk, from Dubrovnik.

OnFoot Holidays have been most satisfactory. Once one has booked with them, they keep one up-dated on changed conditions on the trail, so one starts the walk with great confidence that one has up-to-date info. If we find unreported changes to the trail (new paths, rockfalls etc), we report them to On Foot on our return, and they always acknowledge receipt. The OnFoot team walk the trails, so they speak with recent knowledge. Their instructions are detailed, and several times, walkers with other companies have told us that our instructions and maps are better than those supplied by their tour operators. The hotels and meals provided have without exception been of good quality, and the staff friendly and helpful.





Exhilarating
We hiked daily between 6 towns in Tuscany with our luggage picked up daily & transported to our next hotel. The route was well chosen, avoiding traffic & generally following tracks through the beautiful Tuscan landscape, Often, we could imagine we were medieval wayfarers approaching the hillside town. Accommodation was good & of course the food was exceptional.

On foot holidays were very accommodating. I have no complaints. In discussing another walking tour with me they have pointed out potential problems.





Walkig the Lycian Way
A week of walking through the spectacular countryside and along the coast of SW Turkey, passing through the ancient, ruined cities of Phaselis and Olympos and ending in the bustling city of Antalya. A great combination of exercise and culture. The walking was enjoyably moderately strenuous in parts, on well marked tracks, with very few others on the track. Perfect!

Very efficient and responsive to any questions. Definitely felt that we received individual attention and help with arrangements specific to our needs. On the ground support in Turkey was excellent. The walking guide information was accurate, thorough and everything we needed.





A memorable and very beautiful journey through a hidden landscape
A walking trip through woods and mountains in the Priorat region of Spain, with visits to fascinating monasteries and stays in sleepy towns and villages. Fabulous wines and great walking, with interesting places to stay, and stunning landscape. Strenuous walking, but a hugely enjoyable experience.

Very friendly and efficient to deal with, this felt like an organisation with a real interest in its customers. Really excellent maps and walking directions, and a good level of information about the area.
