On Foot Holidays Traveller Reviews

An opportunity to hike in and enjoy the scenery of the beautiful and tranquil Basque countryside, encountering helpful locals on the way; an amazing adventure for the three of us: my brother, my son and me!

Great logistics, outstanding attention to detail, constant communication and help when needed

We did the Andalusian walk and enjoyed it - sections were harder than some but the scenery well worth it - excellent notes and support during the walk.

They were very helpful and knowledgeable - the operators on the ground were responsive and extremely helpful

A beautiful walk though the stunning Dordogne countryside, historic villages, castles, fabulous hotels and magnificent food. The weather was ideal and the route planning and organisation was perfect. Some longer days walking tempered with a shorter day to follow but always ending at a delightful destination with lovely hotels and exquisite food, each evenings location seemed to exceed the previous in elegance and hospitality.

Everything was planned to perfection with quick responses to questions, not that we had many as the detail was excellent. All transfers, to a ports and the luggage was perfectly timed

Excellent walking in a part of France that was new to us and mainly popular with the French. Lovely locally accommodation and superb food.

I have been a loyal customer over many years and greatly value this kind of walking holiday, ensuring that one gets the best walking route and the best places to stay. Attention to detail at every point makes for a trouble free journey and arrival - all one has to do is walk, and with such confidence!

A self-guided walking holiday which combined two On-Foot holidays on three Greek islands. All three islands were very different from each other ranging from lush rustic areas of Andros, the olde town on Naxos and to the more mountainous Amorgos. The wild flowers and birdsong helped compliment many a walk and it was a joy to discover lesser-known parts of the islands.

Attentive, responsive and friendly. We particularly appreciated their attention to detail, given there were so many connections and much to arrange. On Foot were also able to advise on parts of the holiday we arranged ourselves at the beginning (a short stay in Athens) and during the middle of the holiday (a short stay on the island of Tinos.) We highly recommend On Foot holidays and this was our 8th and 9th holiday with this tour operator. They have always exceeded our expectations.

Fabulous walking routes around this beautiful island staying at small rural hotels which were all different but charming in their own ways. The scenery and spring flowers were stunning and the walking routes and options were perfect for us. On some routes we didn’t meet another soul all day which made it even more special. We extended our holiday by staying extra nights in the Parador Hotel in San Sebastián which was absolutely amazing. I thoroughly recommend this holiday to anyone who enjoys walking.

Knowledgeable about the specific holiday, very helpful with all queries responded to very quickly. We have used On Foot Holidays before and will be again

The On Foot Holidays - Northern Portugal Route was our primary reason for visiting Portugal. In addition, we added extra days to explore Porto, the Douro Valley and the Paiva Walkways and 516 Suspension Bridge. The best part was the On Foot Holiday route in Northern Portugal. It was spectacular and interesting. The accommodation was a perfect mix of small and local operators who were so helpful.

This is my second tour with with On Foot Holidays. They are the best! The routes are very well planned. The information and GPSed trails meant we were never lost and were able to confidently explore a wide range of landscapes and cultural attributes of the region. Both On Foot staff in the UK and the local contact were extremely responsive and knowledgeable.

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.
