On Foot Holidays Traveller Reviews

6 lovely days walking - Naxos and Amorgos. Although late Spring the wild flowers were beautiful and the weather perfect for walking.

The team at On Foot were great. Their responses timely, helpful and comprehensive. They were happy to tailor the trip to meet our requirements.

We did a five day self-guided walking tour in the Dordogne, staying at small hotels in historic medieval villages. The scenery and wildflowers were amazing and we enjoyed being in what felt like remote areas, untouched by crowds and modern life. At night, we enjoyed the comfort of some lovely little hotels and the excellent food offerings of the terroirs in rural France.

The walk and accommodation details were really well-organised. They were always prompt to answer emails and responded thoughtfully and very clearly to any queries we had about the trip. The local contact person made sure to meet us before we started our walk to ensure everything was ok. They were keen to get our feedback to continue to improve the experience.

We had a wonderful 8 day holiday in Southern Tuscany- starting with a full day in Siena exploring the old town and then walking over 6 days from Siena to Montepulciano. We travelled from hill town to hill town through beatiful landscape, the fields a track edges were a riot of colour with wild flowers. The hard slog up hill at the end of the days walk was well worth it with lovely restaurants serving traditional Tuscan food and fine wines. We saw a wild boar in a forest which was a thrilling experience, we kept our distance until it moved on. The locals were so friendly, making us feel so welcome. We took the opportunity to do two wine tastings in different towns, learning about wine growing and harversting along the way. A wonderful experience I would highly recommend.

This was our 3rd self-guided walking holiday with On Foot Holidays. The whole experience is very positive, lots of guidance when booking on the best months to travel, where to stay etc. The office staff are all very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. It doesn't matter who you speak to they always pick up from the last conversation instantaneously. The pack that is sent out with the travel to start, the pack for each day with maps and written guidance are always accurate and comprehensive. There is gps routing that the office help load on your phone, but we have only used it for a very rare double check- the walking notes/maps are so good. The additonal "blue" booklet gives additional information on history/things to see at each location- which is always interesting. We also have access to a local contact, which is good to know, but everything is so well planned they are rarely needed. I have recommended On Foot holidays to many of my friends and I wouldn't use any other company for self-guided walking.

This was our first official walking holiday and we totally loved it. Every detail was taken care of or flagged to us by on foot holidays and this made it incredibly easy to just enjoy the exercise, fresh air, beautiful scenery and escape from reality.

From the moment I first contacted them on foot holidays could not have been more responsive. I changed our chosen route three times before booking and their patience was endless. The pre holiday pack contained literally everything we could possibly need and the entire experience was seamless.

We loved the mix of beautiful scenery, small fishing villages, and beautiful beaches. There was also an interesting mix olodging, ranging from a hostel to five star experience in a hotel. The changing landscape each day was incredible! The tour includes some extra "shortcuts", which allow people who might not be up to the rigors of some aspects of the hike (seniors, those a bit less fit) to actually go on the hike and have the experience as well. This is perhaps one of the most beautiful hikes we've ever been on!

On Foot Holidays has been wonderfully reliable, responsible, and committed to providing best of class service and attention to detail on every hike that we have taken with them. We have been on 7 trips with On Foot, to diverse locations and have enjoyed every one.

4 nights staying in the same hotel on the Greek island of Naxos and 3 nights in the same pension on the nearby unspoilt island of Amorgos enabled us to choose on a daily basis which of the many walks ranging between 8km and 15km we felt like doing. All 5 walks were well signposted, though mainly following old mule tracks they were quite rocky underfoot. On most walks we met no-one else apart from the occasional shepherd and flocks of goats. On Naxos we particularly enjoyed the walk on the sparsely populated east of the island to the Lionas beach where we finished with a swim in the (cold) sea and a meal at the welcoming Delfinaki family restaurant. On Amorgos the walk along the spine of the island taking in the Chozoviatsa Monastery clinging to the side of the cliff was the highlight.

We spoke to On Foot at the Destinations Show in London 2023 and the member of staff on duty enthusiastically highlighted this trip to us as it met our desire for minimising the number of overnight stays in different hotels/guest houses. The background information provided about the holiday was very useful, walking notes. maps and GPS files accurate, and the logistics faultless. The other reps we dealt with during the booking process and leading up to the holiday were very knowledgeable and responsive to phone calls and emails.

We walked from Amalfi to Sorrento with the support of maps, luggage transport and great directions from On Foot. This is our third trip booked with this company and we have NEVER been disappointed. The Amalfi Coast was stunning. We stayed in wonderful small hotels and even extended our trip and hiking to Capri with On Foot’s help.

Just fantastic in every way. They really match our style of travel and are so easy and flexible to work with. On Foot has helped us on all our trips personalize each one to our interests and needs.

An enjoyable well organised coastal walk. Beautiful scenery fabulous beaches, dunes & forests. We love birdwatching which added to our overall experience especially at this time of year. Great to have the options to shorten the walks which we took most days. Accommodations were excellent, & the recommendations for eating out were very helpful. Aznar was a brilliant help, he organised taxis & dinner reservations. It was nice to know he was there if we needed help with anything.

This is our 4th walk with Onfoot holidays. They have always been so profesional & given us all the necessary information we required. Their tours are definitely good value from start to finish, & so well organised.

The walk set a course across the southern Yorkshire Dales starting in the genteel Vale of York at Ripon and progressing to more remote and rugged upland terrain to one of the Three Peaks, Ingleborough. The course is unique to On Foot and takes full advantage of the unique cultural, historical, and landscape features along the way. The nights are spent in a variety of authentically local bed and breakfasts, pubs, and small hotels that were uniformly welcoming with good and clean physical facilities.

After having made over a dozen self-guided walking trips with five different companies in the past six years, On Foot has become my first choice. They have a true commitment to maximizing the walkers' experience with many custom details in the route planning, very generous preliminary information about the culture of the area and the mechanics of the walk itself, and, most importantly, providing committed local support personel. On this particular walk the local representative personally walked and sent me a GPS track for an extra day, and joined me for a half day walking, which was the high point of my trip. The front office has been very consistent in heading off logistical problems due to bank holidays and train strikes and were really helpful in extracting me from a fairly remote area when trains were cancelled at the last minute.

A 7 day route through the mountains

Very organised and thorough
