On Foot Holidays Traveller Reviews

The walking was varied and delightful, The small hotels were perfectly chosen, all very different and all the better for that. The undoubted highlight was staying at Turbisquedo. An extraordinary house with a fascinating history, brought to life by Bill, its entertaining owner. And his partner made the best supper and packed lunch. A real treat.

We have been on several walking holidays with On Foot. They have always provided excellent note, maps and information. They have a great ability to chose really interesting, unusual places to stay with welcoming hosts. Their local contacts have always been charming and helpful.

Splendid. Tough walking but that is what we were after. Exquisite, timeless villages whose cobbled lanes and alleyways seemed unconcerned by the modern world and the demands of the motor car. Cafes and bars with genial owners providing sustinence to weary travellers. Well directed and varied routes through wooded hillsides, deep luxuriant valleys and across open moorland. Much of the route winding its way along the contours following the astonishingly well preserved Roman road with majestic milestones still guiding travellers after c2000 years. Welcoming hosts providing comfortable accomodation in delightful settings always with excellent restaurants nearby offering fine meals comprising local food always accompanied by the locally produced Vinho Verde and for the following day splendid picnic lunches.

They were excellent. Easy booking with knowledgeable advice. Clear written instructions that did not let us down once. We have done many walking holidays but this was the first with GPS. What a clever thing it is and a reassuring back up.

It was my first time in Greece and my first time on a walking holiday. The walks were wonderful and took us to places we wouldn’t have found on our own. On Naxos, the Koronos-Lionas Beach walk was our favourite. On Amorgos, the Aegialis Circuit was peaceful and a pleasure to walk. I felt happy while walking. On Foot provided excellent tips and advice including lunch options for the day, which were tremendously useful. If I had more time, I would like to have added an extra day in Naxos, so that we could have done one more walk.

They have this itinerary very very well organised. They’d covered every detail and are very knowledgeable, as staff have been and done the walks themselves. I totally recommend them.

A glorious mix of challenge, education, luxury landscapes and beautiful accomodation.

On Foot provided excellent pre tour care, very informative and personalised. Self guided notes were generally high quality considering natural environments alter over time. Proactive support from local contact person and subsequent response from On Foot when we were confused about a section of the walk very much appreciated. We loved OnFoot’s honesty and empathy. Accomodation particularly Mousehall top shelf.

We walked five days while On Foot Holidays arranged accommodation and luggage transfers. We averaged around 16 kilometers each day, with some longer and some shorter. Each day had various historical and/or geological highlights to explore in addition to the walking.

The information and logistics that On Foot Holidays provided were stunning in their detail, completeness, accuracy, and usability. Literally every single detail that On Foot touched worked perfectly. Given the overwhelming amount of information and hiking instruction involved (pages and pages), their success at 100% accuracy is astounding. Every directional detail was spot-on, and with the Pocket Earth app as an easy-to-use backup, we hiked our way through our days without error or concern. Beyond the scope of the hiking details, we also found the information about restaurants and points of interest accurate and very useful. Our local contact was also reliable and very useful. Again, to have that many logistical details fall together so perfectly, well, I wouldn’t have thought that possible. On Foot was amazing!

7 nights in varied, comfortable accommodation in Galicia, Northern Spain, with 5 days walking. With walking routes through vineyards, sweet chestnut tree woodland, along river banks, over heathland, with spectacular views of the Sil Canyon. This holiday gave us amazing views and experiences of an area of Spain that we had not been to before. Backed up with clear route instructions, maps, GPS, written information and a local On Foot contact. Warm and sunny but not to hot. Aspects to delight everyday.

Very personable and helpful. Our original destination was not feasible and the staff at On Foot suggested this holiday. It was tailored around our schedules and adapted based on local constraints ( music festival limiting the availability of the usual first night stay). Prior to the holiday we received detailed walking instructions and maps, advice on the use of GPS and apps. Information about the area and a tailored itinerary booklet. There was a local contact in Spain, who provided helpful and responsive advice when needed. There were no hitches with the hotel bookings, arranged taxis and the other arrangements within the holiday itinerary. We were very impressed with the professional and friendly approach of the On Foot staff.

A well thought out series of hikes around and from lake to lake.

On foot were well organised and kept us up to date with the progress of our trip arrangements. The walk instructions were impeccable, with no room for error.

We loved the incredible mountain scenery, the culture (mix of Germanic and Italian), and hearing the history and stories about the area (World War I). The trip offered a diversity of experiences.......interesting selection of places to visit and stay.

Without the planning support from On Foot Holidays, I don't think we would have had the opportunity to actually hike in this part of the world. Getting in and out of the Dolomite region can be challenging. I appreciate the attention to detail that made the process of making the trip possible. On Foot Holidays made selections (routes, lodging, suggestions) that were well matched to our needs.

This was a terrific walking trip planned by On Foot Holidays. The scenery, the interesting routes, hotels and meals were all excellent. Love how this walking trip starts near the Austrian border with lots of German influence and continues on south to Cortina which is full on Italian.

On Foot Holidays provided us with all the travel information to get to the start of the walk and transfer times to get to our next location at the end of the walk. A booklet with history and information about the towns that we walked through was so helpful and interesting. The route notes to follow on our walk were excellent as were the suggestions for restaurants when meals were not provided at the hotels.

This was planned pre-covid, but we finally got to do it Sept 2023. The Karst - culture and landscape. Prsut, Teran wine and disappearing rivers in the eastern part of Slovenia. Staying is small farm hotels or B&Bs. Wonderful trails, food, wine, people and views. Pack your bags and head to Slovenia, a real gem.

This is the second time for us with On Foot Holidays and I say they are FANTASTIC. We have used a number of walking holiday vendors and we find On Foot the BEST! Just the right vibe.
