On Foot Holidays Traveller Reviews

We walked the eastern part of the Lycia way self-guided, starting in the mountains and staying in a variety of guesthouses overnight. The walking was excellent, arduous and tough terrain but beautiful scenery. Fantastic variety of overnight stays, all welcoming with good food. Excellent local contact to give day-to-day support.

Really good. Helpful before we booked, they clearly knew the route and could give good advice on what route would suit us best. The pre-holiday information was good, route notes and GPS route guidance were excellent. On our return, they genuinely wanted and responded to feedback.

My holiday was a five night, four day unguided walking tour in Tuscany. Each day involved walking 14 to 18 km, on a prescribed route, mainly or rural gravel tracks and paths, with elevation gains of 600 to 800 m. The hotels were organized by the tour operator and my suitcase transferred each day. The countryside was a mix of lush green fields and both deciduous and evergreen forest. It was very beautiful, although a bit early in the year for leaves on the deciduous trees.

Very well organised with a comprehensive tour package sent in advance, containing all contact details, Covid protocols, route maps and guidance notes. I was in daily contact with my local guide confirming departure and successful arrival.

Very well organised self guided walk in the Andalusian hills, staying in lovely white painted villages.

Feels like we’re ‘phoning friends when we book a walk. Nothing’s too much trouble

We did the 6 night route and enjoyed it very much. The packs sent in advance by On Foot were excellent and the day to day Route notes extremely accurate so made it so easy. We stayed in beautiful accommodation, one place better than the next, all family run. We received a warm welcome everywhere and were well looked after. Those that provided dinner did not disappoint and generally there was a family atmosphere with other guests. As it was late February, it was cold at night so most places had a fire in the communal areas. Some of the hospitality was outstanding and it is difficult to mention all but our favourite was Es Petit Hotel in Valldemossa. We feel that the On Foot team have done an excellent job in putting this route together. A special mention for Jesca, the local contact who checked in on us after our first day to make sure all was ok and subsequently during the trip. Well done all round.

Excellent communication at all points from booking to departure with updated information prior to leaving. We found they responded rapidly to any queries and were very helpful.

We walked from Zahara de La Sierra to Ronda. We took five days and then did an extra two days of sightseeing and walking in Ronda. We started January 25 and had consistently sunny weather with highs of about 16 degrees. It felt like 22 at midday. The mountains and hills which we walked through were spectacular. We saw ibex, lots of birds, a fox and mini farm animals. It was a mixture of hiking on trails and walking on small roads and dirt tracks The accommodations were all charming and it was heroic of On Foot Holidays to find us lodging in the middle of winter.

It is a company based in the UK which we have used in the past for walking in England. They are extremely responsive and well organized and have terrific local contacts. They also have identified excellent lodgings on both our walks. The route notes are excellent, better than other walking companies we used before we discovered On Foot. This is a fabulous way to experience “slow travel”.

I had a wonderful holiday walking in the upper Dordogne region of France. Using a variety of walking paths and quiet country lanes, I visited many small, yet charming, villages in the region as well as the world-class town of Rocamadour. I used several rest days along the route to just "be a local" and was pleasantly surprised by the excellence of the cuisine at even the smallest of hotels along the way. Walking in late September, I enjoyed cooler weather with only one rainy day.

On Foot Holidays was excellent throughout. They were quite helpful in arranging extra days along the route, as well as providing top-quality route maps and notes. Their local contact provided last-minute updates to a changed part of the route in addition to the already informative notes. She also made contact during an especially challenging weather day to check whether I needed assistance. All accommodations along the way were friendly and quite comfortable. I always felt the personal touch in all my communications with On Foot.

We walked for a week in the Umbrian sunshine, following paths originally walked by St Francis of Assisi. The walking was rewarding, the scenery beautiful, the meals and drinks at the end of each day somehow tasted better as we felt we'd had to work for them.

Walks on Foot were instrumental in the original design of the route, arranged all of our accommodation, maps and baggage transfers and were hugely accommodating as we had to change dates at least three times because of Covid restrictions. They were always very responsive to requests for information or updates - it felt a very personal service.

Town-to-town hiking in Tuscany

Excellent from booking until holiday's end. Detailed walking directions, outstanding local contact, terrific accommodations. Thorough and accurate

We did a five day hike from St Ives around the Lands End Peninsula. The scenery was amazing and, by and large, we enjoyed great weather.

This was the 6th trip we have done with On Foot Holidays. They are exceptionally well organised. Their communication is excellent. The walking routes are always challenging but well thought out.

Walking from village to village along The Dordogne River

All the Staff at On Foot are professional, helpful and extremely well-informed
