Our best-ever Walking Holiday

We would like to say how very much we enjoyed our most recent walk with On Foot Holidays in Italy from Siena to Montepulciano in September. Everything about the trip has left happy memories, whether it was the route, the excellent (and much improved!) narrative instructions which meant there was no chance of losing the way, the varied accommodation and hospitable, helpful hosts, the food and particularly the way in which the journey hung together ...

We would like to say how very much we enjoyed our most recent walk with On Foot Holidays in Italy from Siena to Montepulciano in September. Everything about the trip has left happy memories, whether it was the route, the excellent (and much improved!) narrative instructions which meant there was no chance of losing the way, the varied accommodation and hospitable, helpful hosts, the food and particularly the way in which the journey hung together and its pace and contrasts. We loved the fact that we could trace our route from Monte Oliveti to Montalcino from the top of the fort in the evening light. There were so many photo opportunities every day which contributed to maybe a slower pace for us this year but no day was over long and we always arrived in good time at the hotel to make the most of the town. We particularly enjoyed the day from Bagno Vignoni to Pienza, a day full of surprises indeed, and loved San Quirico and would happily have stayed longer. We will even forgive the uphill climb with which each day concluded, as it was always worth the effort.

Rating for tour operator:

We have travelled with On Foot Holidays on five separate occasions since 2005 visiting Spain, Portugal and Italy. We have seen how their expertise and skill has developed over this time. In our opinion they lead the way in offering diverse, original and well researched routes and accommodation which affords highly committed and personal hospitality. We have also travelled in this period with several other walking holiday providers. On Foot Holidays provide outstanding personal service from the initial enquiry to acting upon customer feedback on return, which gives their travellers a high degree of confidence. Their attention to detail including advice regarding choice of route, accommodation (where an alternative is available), restaurant and local travel options enables an independent walking holiday to be enjoyed without hassle. The proprietor and the long serving and enthusiastic staff walk the routes themselves which helps to ensure the quality of the customers’ experience and to actively develop improvements to each itinerary.

Z - Dubrovnik & Elafiti Islands by lobster1, 6 Nov 2013
Holiday Rating:

Beautiful Coastal Walking.

2 nights in an apartment in Dubrovnik. Then 3 nights in a hotel in Lopud, a visit to Kolpocek and the following 2 nights in a fantastic hotel in Sipin. Lovely coastal walks to do at your own pace. Very comfortable hotels and all very well arranged by On Foot. Somebody on the end of a phone if help needed but left to your own devices for the duration of the holiday.

Tour operator is On Foot Holidays and this is our 5th time travelling with them so that says it all really. They are very well organised and very helpful, it feels like there is a friend on the other end or the line or email when needed.

Everything went very smoothly...from the booking, to the Company making a few booking changes to accommodate us to the relaxed holiday we enjoyed. The company kept in constant contact when we needed them. The walking notes and maps were excellent. The accommodation was varied and gave us the chance to talk to local people and experience Italian culture. We met the designer and supervisor of the walk and he was wonderfully passionate and interested in our experiences. This was the 2nd holiday we have booked with On Foot and we have enjoyed both holidays.

Amalfi Coast with On Foot by PK Harrogate, 6 Nov 2013

Self Guided walking on the Amalfi Coast

Seven days self guided walking in fantastic scenery. We were provided with very comprehensive route maps and notes which covered a variety of grades of walk options, ranging from quite tough to fairly easy. The weather was good throughout and the hotels provided excellent service. Our luggage was moved forward efficiently each day.

Provided excellent notes and maps for the walking and advice for travelling to and from the UK. We received several personal phone calls from staff before the holiday to make sure we were happy with the arrangements.

Our baggage was taken from hotel to hotel. Germany surpassed our expectations. Beautiful scenery almost magical and the germans could not have been more friendlier and kinder. The routes given to us was spot on. We found it challenging at some points but that only made it more rewarding. The extra information was also helpful and interesting. Have recommended this holiday to all my friends.

Z - Lycian Coast by Flora, 6 Nov 2013
Holiday Rating:

Flawless organisation of luggage transfers and taxis. We felt confident that, should we need it, help was at hand.

A wonderful self-guided walking holiday through the mountains and by the sea along the Lycian Way in the Spring. The abundant wild flowers and historic sites made it an unforgettable experience.

Walking Part of the Lycian Way - Turkey

This was a fine self guided walk through the beautiful scenery along part of the Lycian Way - Turkey. Roughly, the walk follows the coast south of Antalya - known as the Turquoise Coast. The organisation and logistics of the holiday were fantastic - working almost like clockwork. And the arranged accommodation was well chosen to be of a consistently high standard, whilst providing widely varying character and interest. The walking was ...

This was a fine self guided walk through the beautiful scenery along part of the Lycian Way - Turkey. Roughly, the walk follows the coast south of Antalya - known as the Turquoise Coast. The organisation and logistics of the holiday were fantastic - working almost like clockwork. And the arranged accommodation was well chosen to be of a consistently high standard, whilst providing widely varying character and interest. The walking was not physically difficult and the days were of sufficient length to challenge us, but leave time and energy for exploring in the evenings or even exploring the archaeological sites passed en-route. We did find that we needed to maintain our whits about us for some of the navigation. A taxi is provided to link part of the route, and a further taxi is needed for the optional walking excursion on the 'rest' day. This could detract from a pure 'A to B' walking experience.

Rating for tour operator:

On Foot Holidays were a pleasure to deal with. The booking process went smoothly, and since all of the holiday arrangements worked like clockwork, there was little need for their further involvement. On the other hand I was left feeling confidents that there was an appropriate organisation on hand if things went wrong. We will certainly have no hesitation of using On Foot Holidays again or of recommending them to others.

Andalucia by Derek, 6 Nov 2013

Fabulous

I did the Andalusia walk. All the bookings, luggage transfer, walking notes etc were flawless. I particularly liked the route devised because it was well off the beaten track into quite remote areas where there is no-one else to be seen. The scenery was unusual and interesting.
