On Foot Holidays Traveller Reviews

I recently enjoyed On Foot Holidays 5 day coastal hike around the south west tip of Cornwall. The hike was a circuit starting and ending in St.Ives, following coastal paths through a variety of landscapes with spectacular views.

On Foot Holidays organise individual hiking holidays for people who prefer to walk without being part of a large group tour. They offer a great many individually tailored itineraries with detailed maps, a walking app, hotel bookings with luggage transfer, and support.

The Northern Provence walking trip through On Foot Holidays was excellent. The hikes were varied and beautiful. The towns and hotels along the way were perfect. Food and wine were highlights as well. On Foot puts together an excellent self-guided tour.

Right up until the last minutes, On Foot staff is available to answer questions and make changes, when necessary. The local contact reached out just before our arrival and during the trip was able to solve an issue for us.

Six days of self-guided walking in the Cilento National Park which included plenty of opportunities to enjoy swimming in the sea as well. The route App worked very well so there was no 'getting lost' panic in the middle of nowhere. Accommodation was varied - in a good way - and our hosts friendly and helpful.

On Foot holiday makers benefit from being able to talk to employees who have completed the walks so it's easy to get very well informed information about the practicalities of the route. The holiday company also makes sure that their area representative is on hand locally should any problems occur. We have used On Foot on four occasions and can highly recommend them. In short we wouldn't contemplate a self-guided walking holiday with anyone else.

Beautiful walk through some glorious scenery and staying in lovely rural villages and small towns. The local contact is fantastic - extremely helpful and responsive.

This is the 4th trip I have done with Onfoot, and they have all be excellent. Well organised beautiful walks, great accommodation, and always great recommendations from the local contact. The office staff are also extremely friendly and helpful, and will adapt schedules to fit individual plans with no hesitation.

On Foot Holidays is an exceptionally thorough walking tour provider. Every detail that can be planned in advance is clearly and meticulously presented in an excellent app that also addresses factors beyond their control - weather, trail conditions, hiker capabilities - often with firm guidance. The Alpes Maritimes route offered a variety of scenery and discoveries. We visited tiny villages, roman ruins, a limestone kiln, shepherd huts, olive orchards, water falls, and more. We hiked through aromatic Spanish broom and wild sage, shady forests and tall grasses. The trails were flat, steep, smooth, rocky, dirt, scree, pavement, narrow, wide, overgrown and clear. The accommodations were top notch - comfortable lodging, outstanding (and plentiful) food and gracious hosts who knew exactly how to make the evening respites and morning breakfasts as enjoyable and restorative as needed. We learned so much about the people and history of this region, and about ourselves. Though we were more than prepared for the arduous climbing and walking, we lacked experience navigating rocky, overgrown paths and had occasional difficulties with wayfinding. That and the high temperatures slowed and discouraged us at first. We adapted, though, and became more prepared (water and food) and skilled (interpreting trail signs, pushing through brush and navigating scree). "Challenging and rewarding" is a phrase we've seen used to describe the Alpes Maritimes holiday, and it is both of those indeed.

On Foot Holidays was exceptionally attentive and responsive throughout the experience - as we were exploring the possibility of this holiday, as we were planning the details of our adventure and during the days on the trail.

Excellent organisation of a personal walking tour with luggage taken on between hotels

On foot holidays design custom walking tours of various degrees of difficulty

Final day of our walk - what an epic adventure! Walked 68km total along the Amalfi coastline to Sorrento. I could not more highly recommend @onfootholidays if you’re wanting to do some walking through Europe or England. We have loved the independent nature of the walks and not seeing many other people - today we walked 15km and did not see a single other person. But, and here’s the cool thing - we always ended up at really cool and hip places and stayed in nice 3-star hotels. The walks were challenging and interesting. Scenery was off the hook! We really felt like we’d got off the tourist trail and seen the essence of the Italian landscape. Walked from Amalfi to Sorrento. This provided some epic mountainous traverses and ended up at the seaside where we could swim. Actually, we swam almost every day in the sea. Out of 5 days walking, we didn’t see any other walkers on 4 days. How special to be walking a trail by yourself. Onto the next part of our adventure tomorrow ❤️

Fine - responsive when we provided feedback

We spent 10 days walking around Amalfi and along the coast to Sorrento. The walk was delightful, the hotels were very comfortable, food was great. There were many steps but the walking was not that hard.

On-Foot Holidays organized the walks and hotels and provided extensive information about the region and transportation options, as well as the route maps and directions for the walk. They were great to work with, very responsive and clear in their communication. We are extremely pleased with their organization of our walk.

We did one small walk based in Kranjske Gora Slovenia and then a longer walk called Classic Slovenia. We have done walking holidays before but not with On Foot. My husband has a dodgy knee so that restricted his walking capacity but On Foot accommodated that really well by allowing him to travel with the luggage a couple of times. Great service and very nice taxi drivers along the way. Accommodation was generally of a high standard and we stayed in family run places that went above and beyond with service and food provided. A great cross section of places to visit to give a good overview of Slovenia. Also their walking app was pretty good with some minor quirks that will probably be ironed out pretty quickly. Can’t recommend them high enough.

In Slovenia Miha was our contact. Very well organised and prompt with his pick ups. When he couldn’t do it the people he used instead were also on time and very informative. Miha was also very responsive the one time we had an issue contacting a place we were staying at and the problem was sorted very easily.

A self guided walk through a little visited part of Spain. It was a very beautiful hike through wooded paths, vineyards and alongside Gorges with stunning views and virtually no other travellers. The food was exceptional throughout the trip and the locals very friendly and helpful.

Great communication throughout the process and everything on the trip proceeded like clockwork. The hike instructions were very easy to follow and knew there was local support if required.
