On Foot Holidays Traveller Reviews

Our holiday was wonderful because it embodied everything we look for in a walking holiday: A route that is interesting because of its terrain and history, beautiful scenery, not touristy, good lodging and wonderful regional food. Of course you can have all of these things, but the tour operator is what really makes the holiday memorable, and on this trip, we felt very well looked after.

From our initial contact with On Foot Holidays, they were very quick to answer in detail, all the questions we had. Before we left, we received by courier from London, their package of information. This included maps (waterproofed for rain...which we never had), very detailed route notes for each day as this route was not signposted, GPS tracking information, schedule of accommodation and meals, emergency phone numbers, and a booklet of general information about the area, the route, the history and helpful points about Italian culture, as well as a small language dictionary. The host at our first night's stay was extremely helpful and paved the way for our very enjoyable walk, as well as our time afterwards in Italy. To us it was impressive that some people on the staff of On Foot Holidays had walked the route and could answer particular questions about it. We also liked the fact that they asked for feedback. We suspect that they listen to any concerns very closely. We were very impressed with the overall organization and staff of On Foot Holidays and would recommend them to anyone who is planning an independent walking holiday.

We have been on several holidays with OnFoot but this year we did their Alpes Maritime walk. We went in July and the weather was a bit too hot for us but it is marked in the brochure as not being the ideal time. The service from the office is wonderful. The staff know the holidays and the personal care they give including a phone call the day before departure and a phone call on the first day of the holiday from the local rep makes you feel very cared for. The walking notes are accurate and beautifully presented in daily packs. The hotels are always interesting and give an insight into local life which would be very difficult to find independently. They vary in standard - from the one star in La Brigue where we really enjoyed being part of the local village to the very comfortable 4 star hotel in Menton.

Very caring and, even more importantly, very knowledgeable. I feel I have met them all and really appreciate the individual care and attention we receive.

This was our fourth walk with OnFoot and like the others, we were impressed with the prefect organisation, changing landscapes each walking day, and unique accommodations. We went at quite a hot time of year but on the plus side that meant we had warm seas to swim in, minimal people around us, and a dry but beautiful landscape. Highlights for us - our friendly driver Kumar, Emin Pansyion (food and service were both outstanding), eating local produce, soaring mountain/sea/cliff views, starting our walk high up in the mountains, the walk to Adrasan and then drinking beers at some of the restaurants perched over the river, lazing at Sundance... Thanks again for a great trip.

The London OnFoot team were always available to take our calls or emails whilst we were away. Their Turkish partners were equally as friendly and caring - consistently punctual, friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

Back from our Portuguese adventure and we had a great time. Amazing scenery, challenging walking, friendly people, and fantastic local food! ON FOOT organisation was fantastic and everything went really smoothly.

Very professional and helpful

The walk took us from the Cisterican monastery of Poblet through the mountains of Prades and into the heart of the Priorat wine region. We stayed in small hotels, guesthouses and a rural Mas (farmhouse) with ecologically minded owners. We loved the region and the variety of scenery on our walk, as well as the genuinely friendly and hospitable locals along the way. The walk was challenging enough to feel worthwhile without being overwhelming or exhausting and there were often options for shortening the day if desired. We enjoyed varied Catalan cuisine along the way.

I had not used On Foot before and from start to finish I was impressed by the level of service. Debbie was very friendly when I rang to discuss the trip with her and she was helpful about arranging a change to the transport at the end. The package of maps, walking notes and information about the region was excellent; I have done similar walks with other companies and these were easily the best. Debbie rang before we left to check we had everything we needed and Joanna, who had written the notes, was available to us locally if needed. Our bags were moved on each day and everything went smoothly. I would certainly recommend this as an excellent holiday.

Two couples--old friends--hiked the Amalfi Coast of Italy for six days, spending nights in Amalfi, Praiano, Positano, and Sorrento. It was challenging but we all made it without incident and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves--not to mention being proud of our accomplishment. The weather was perfect, scenery breathtaking and varied, hill and seaside towns charming, hotels and breakfasts beyond expectations. We also took side trips to Rome, Pompeii, and Capri. Everything went off without a hitch.

The folks at On Foot Holidays couldn't have been nicer, more patient with questions, or more helpful. They arranged for all our lodging (including our extra nights in Rome), had our luggage transported, and gave us a wealth of information, including detailed directions to keep us on the right path. They responded immediately to emails, called us to talk over details, and passed our requests along to the hotel staff. Every phase of the trip went unbelievably smoothly. We couldn't have been more pleased and are already talking about where we want to go next with On Foot.

All luggage transferred from hotel to hotel without any hassle. Excellent local food, wonderful scenery and great exercise

Always helpful on the phone, we have taken 3 holidays with them and are returning again next year. Highly recommended.

Fantastic scenery, brilliant walking, gastronomic food & welcoming hotels!! Could I ask for more??

Very helpful. Charming staff. Attention to every detail ... nothing is too much trouble for On Foot Holidays!!

We walked from Motovun to Moscenicka Draga, with our luggage being transferred between accommodation booked by our operator. We walked on our own through gorgeous scenery, following directions provided.

OnFoot were very courteous and helpful, and provided excellent service, both from the base office and the local agent.

My husband and I completed the 7 day walking tour of the Amalfi Coast, with extra nights in Positano and Sorrento.

The staff at On foot holidays was were excellent in working with me via email to plan and customize our trip. They were quite helpful in their suggestions and recommendations. The packet of information sent well in advance was thorough and the narrative and maps were excellent. It was just the two of us, and we were well prepared.
