On Foot Holidays Traveller Reviews

We spent five days on a self-guided walking tour through southern Tuscany, starting in Buonconvento and working our way each day to another gorgeous hilltop town, generally walking about 10-12 miles per day. Our lodgings were small, family-run B&Bs -- not luxurious but always clean, comfortable, friendly, well-located, and full of local character. Traveling in early May, the fields were brilliant with wildflowers, and the temperatures were pleasant. On Foot Holidays provided clear and detailed walking notes, maps, and GPS files and arranged for our bags to be transported from one hotel to the next.

This was our second walking holiday with On Foot, and it won't be the last. They are a pleasure to deal with, always responsive, professional and honest.

Brilliant organisation from beginning to end! Detailed arrangements sent in good time, friendly advice over the phone. Delightful hotels with friendly welcoming staff, good food, including picnic lunches. Maps and instructions clear and easy to follow, with alternative routes for most days if the walk was too challenging. We had a local person as point of contact, who was extremely helpful when we had a problem and needed advice and help to sort out the situation.

On Foot: well organised and efficient, prompt to respond to queries and give advice when asked. Good route plans and maps, with backup from GPS for those who wanted it. Lots of practical and interesting information about the area.

5 full days of hiking in paradise. Each day usually offered recommended side trips as well, which could lengthen or shorten your time spent walking. Each corner revealed yet another fantasy view. Sandstome monoliths, trees that stretch to the sky, and ancient castles to clamber through. Although challenging at times, we would definitely recommend this trip for anyone who is reasonably fit, with a sense of adventure.

Very responsive and helped us to settle on a starting date to avoid closures of the sites and castles. Printed directions, maps and GPS routes gave us confidence, and knowing that there was a local guide "on call" made us feel pampered.

We had a wonderful self-guided three days in the Bohemian Paradise. We were lucky with the weather, but everything else was down to On Foot Holidays' careful and detailed arrangements. The walk instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the route itself was stunning; the accommodation was great, as were the picnic lunches. I was concerned about whether the climbs would be too much, but no problem. This was a celebration of my 70th birthday, and it was truly memorable.

On Foot were extremely helpful, both at the booking stage, and in the planning/preparatory stage, and the arrangements were faultless. They gave us a local contact to ring if we had difficulties, but we didn't need him.

Well marked but deserted tracks through beautiful countryside in the Alpes Maritimes. Strenuous but not too much so, with alternative routes if desired. Warm welcome from hosts, many of whom provided excellent food.

Very well organised operation. Clear, detailed instructions backed by GPS if needed. Very responsive to queries. Good instructions for travelling to and from the start and end of the walk. Small, friendly organization.

The holiday was very well organized. We stayed at very nice hotels and the food served at breakfast and dinner (where relevant) was excellent. The routes were for the most part rustic and scenic. OnFootHolidays gave us the name and number of someone to contact for guidance and during an emergency which was extremely useful.

Very quick responses from the tour operator and the holiday and walking tour was well organized

We had seven days of walking through a lovely scenic area of Catalonia, with plenty of variety. The route was very well designed, taking us over hills, along and over rivers, through woods and by vineyards and plantations of olive, almond and hazel - with two monasteries and some prehistoric rock paintings to visit for good measure. On most days there was a choice of routes, so one could decide whether to have a bit of a challenge or to take a shorter walk and have time to appreciate the many birds, flowers and butterflies.

We have been on many On Foot holidays, so knew that we would be well taken care of: very good walks and accommodation, flawless organisation, all the practical information one could wish for, and a book giving very full and interesting background gen on the area. They are very good on communication: responsive, helpful and on the ball.

Can't fault them. Every detail taken care of, from travel arrangements (including train timetables), walking route (it's impossible to get lost), suggestions for restaurants and the care they've taken in choosing the accommodation. They've really thought about the places you stay eg Burg Liebenstein, where you have your meals surrounded by armour served by delightful staff, whilst looking out on the Rhine. Loads of historical, geographical and nature details also given.

Second great holiday we've done with On Foot. Mallorca was just as good.

We've been on a number of specialist walking holidays with various companies. OnFoot Holidays has been by far the best. From initial contact I could tell this company knew what they were doing. The information/support pack was incredibly detailed and proved extremely useful. Whilst on holiday, the local contact was in touch regularly and responded quickly to any questions we had. The notes for the routes we took were remarkably accurate in terms of timings, distance and gradings. All the accommodation arranged was more than acceptable and our bags were moved around as arranged.

On Foot Holidays was not an operator we had come across before - but - with their high reviews we decided to use their services. We were not disappointed. Their speed of response and quality of information and arrangements could not be bettered in my opinion. On Foot Holidays team should be congratulated in delivering such a fabulous experience for their customers.

From start to finish this was a triumph , to the hotels booked to the careful walking instructions , for the accurate timings and difficulty descriptions to all the tips and advice given .. just a brilliant holiday .

The attention to detail was so refreshing .. everyone worked like clockwork , no stress we just had everything arranged for us Simply excellent
