On Foot Holidays - Dolomites by StellaS, 29 Sep 2022

Wonderful walking in the Dolomites

We have recently returned from our walking holiday to the Dolomites with On Foot Holidays. Everything about the holiday was wonderful. We enjoyed staying at a range of types of accommodation from two 4 star hotels, a bed and breakfast hotel and a mountain refuge.

We have recently returned from our walking holiday to the Dolomites with On Foot Holidays. Everything about the holiday was wonderful. We enjoyed staying at a range of types of accommodation from two 4 star hotels, a bed and breakfast hotel and a mountain refuge. It was lovely to be able to discover different parts of the Dolomites and to move on to the next accommodation without carrying a massive rucksack. The route notes give excellent directions with alternatives in case of bad weather or tired legs. It is very reassuring to have the back up of a person in the area who can be contacted in case of difficulties.

Rating for tour operator:

The staff at On Foot are knowledgeable about all the details of the holidays and so give very good advice. They are all very friendly and professional, have personal experience of the holidays and go the extra mile to ensure all aspects of the holiday run smoothly. The routes chosen and hotels were accurately described. Using On Foot allows us to have a walking holiday in beautiful parts of different European countries without doing vast amounts of research and planning ourselves. We can start enjoying the holiday from the moment we arrive and find our way with ease. This was our 5th holiday with On Foot and we are looking forward to the next.

On Foot Holidays - Dorset by SNBVT, 28 Sep 2022

Excellent self-guided walking tour in Dorset, UK

We had a lovely 6 day, 7 night self-guided inn to inn walking tour in Dorset, UK in September 2022. The countryside and villages were beautiful and full of history. We began the walk in Tisbury and continued on until we reached the coast where we relaxed for a couple days following our walk.

On Foot Holidays handled all the arrangements for lodging and dinners, baggage transfers and, taxi transfers. They provided all information related to travel (getting to the start of the walk, transfers back to the airport, etc). They gave us a very thorough history of the areas we walked. The route notes were excellent and often suggested in the notes places to stop for coffee or a picnic lunch. On Foot also provided information on restaurants, shops, tipping, local customs, etc.

On Foot Holidays - Lake Maggiore by Helen mac, 28 Sep 2022

Lake Maggiore

We loved the scenery, walking from beautiful Lake Maggiore to the top of Mottorone, with its spectacular views of snow topped mountains. Then down again amidst beech and chestnut woods, along paths carpeted in falling autumn leaves, 'chatting' to friendly donkeys and cows along the way. The Stations of the Cross was wonderful to experience (we counted at least 15), and finally enjoyed a relaxing walk along the pristine waters of Lake Orta ...

The Stations of the Cross was wonderful to experience (we counted at least 15), and finally enjoyed a relaxing walk along the pristine waters of Lake Orta before arriving at our lakeside hotel.

We were cautious about returning to Europe from Australia after Covid-19, but arrangements were handled with speed and expertise. We booked very late (just 3 weeks prior to departure), yet the On Foot team managed to secure bookings at all our chosen hotels. This was our second holiday with On Foot, we will definitely be back!

On Foot Holidays - Dordogne by Oregon Walker, 27 Sep 2022

A self-guided walking trip in the Dordogne valley

I had a magical 6 days with a friend walking through the charming Dordogne valley. We hiked about 10 miles each day and loved the variety of scenery, the peace and quiet, the historic villages along the route. We walked in mid-September when the weather was perfect and there were few other hikers on our route. We enjoyed the small hotels and wonderful food along the way.

I have been on two other self-guided walks with On Foot Holidays and will use them again. I love their route choices and the comfortable, not-too-fancy lodgings. They are very responsive and flexible when planning a trip. The materials supplied in advance were just what we needed and the routes were well designed and easy to follow. When traveling with On Food Holidays I never worry about anything going wrong and I'm impressed with the value for the money. I have recommended them to several friends.

The hot sunny weather meant we were able to enjoy a swim at the end of a days walking and eat all of our meals outside.

An enjoyable week walking in the Italian foothills of the Alps - splendid views, great food, quality accommodation.

OFH's Italian Lakes: Maggiore and Orta hotel to hotel walking holiday. We were keen to get back to Europe after the enforced isolation of the last two years. What better way than with an OFH walking holiday? We've always enjoyed our previous trips with them. This route was no exception. The walking was possibly not as demanding as some of our previous jaunts -but we were aware we were a bit out of practice! That said, it was an enjoyable week, ...

OFH's Italian Lakes: Maggiore and Orta hotel to hotel walking holiday. We were keen to get back to Europe after the enforced isolation of the last two years. What better way than with an OFH walking holiday? We've always enjoyed our previous trips with them. This route was no exception. The walking was possibly not as demanding as some of our previous jaunts -but we were aware we were a bit out of practice! That said, it was an enjoyable week, with a real sense of accomplishment. We stayed in comfortable, welcoming hotels; had some splendid meals - the Villa Pizzini experience will endure in our memories for a long time; and enjoyed some lovely walks through mature woodlands, with regular views of both lakes and mountains. Day to day worries disappeared, and the main challenge each day was related to menu and wine-list decisions.

Rating for tour operator:

As usual, OFH were firmly in control of making sure everything ran smoothly - from the initial enquiry, prior to and during the trip, and following up on our return to UK. Additional requests and minor tweaks were taken in their stride. The route notes were very good, and additional information (ferry timetables, local train details, etc) all supplied. Everything worked as it should without any fuss or bother.

Brilliant two weeks in Galicia

We walked the Lighthouse Way in Galicia over a period of 2 weeks with 9 days of walking. On Foot Holidays were able to accommodate our wish to spread the walk over an extended period to allow us more time to complete the 200 kilometres. We had fantastic weather, fantastic food and fantastic accommodation. The organisation by On Foot was faultless. The maps and route notes were comprehensive and a pleasure to use. (I love maps).

We had fantastic weather, fantastic food and fantastic accommodation. The organisation by On Foot was faultless. The maps and route notes were comprehensive and a pleasure to use. (I love maps). The taxis and luggage transfers were spot on and the support from On Foot's local representative was really helpful and encouraging. A brilliant walk, amazing scenery, lovely beaches for swimming and hospitable hosts.

Rating for tour operator:

Outstanding customer service in the lead up to our holiday, all enquiries dealt with by knowledgeable and friendly staff. The service during the holiday was brilliant. The local contact, Aznar, was in touch with us every day ensuring that our experience was of the highest quality. Accommodation was fantastic, superb quality and staffed by friendly and professional people. Taxis were on time and were top quality vehicles. I cannot speak highly enough of the service we received. We will definitely use On Foot again.

Excellent route through Dolomites to Cortina, with added the interest of exploration of WW1 fortifications on the way. Last minute modifications to route due to local changes were well communication by Isabelle, the local adviser.

Amazing hiking in Italy

Another fabulous hiking experience booked through On Foot holidays. This time we did 4 nights around Lake Maggiore. Everything from the actual hiking to the accommodation to the food exceeded our expectations. In particular the dinner at Villa Pizzini was outstanding as were the views along the walks.
