On Foot Holidays Traveller Reviews

The coastal path walking was tough so it was great that we could trust On Foot to take care of all the logistics, so that we just had to turn up at our next destination and know our bags would be there waiting for us.

We have done several walking holidays with On Foot, both in Europe and the UK, and the service has always been exemplary.

In short: OUTSDANDING. 9 nights (7 days of walking) through the beautiful Navarra and the Basque Country area, ending in San Sebastian. Breathtaking scenery, challenging (for me) walking on stunning trails with few, if any, other people around. Cozy, homey accommodation and superb food. Culturally fascinating. Hondarribia and San Sebastian are knock-your-socks off beautiful. The trip was off-the-charts and I may well walk it again one day.

I became aware of OnFoot after reading a travel article (published in 2019) in the Washington Post about their ‘Galicia – Lighthouse Way’ walk. Was immediately intrigued and booked the trip shortly thereafter. After Covid delays, in 2021 I walked the Lighthouse way and did the ‘Mallorca: Sierra de Tramuntana’ journey; both were absolutely FABULOUS. I’ve been hooked on OnFoot ever since. Besides the extremely well-planned itineraries, stunning (and challenging) walking, great accommodation, and food their service, client focus, and general competence have exceeded my expectations. I can reiterate this as I’ve now done four of their walks (added Andalucia and ‘Basque Country to San Sebastian’ walks this year). I travel on my own and OnFoot have an explicit policy of not over-charging single travelers, which I greatly appreciate. Finally, I find the trips to be extremely good value. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

In short: OUTSDANDING. 8 nights (6 days of walking) through the beautiful Grazalema area, ending in Ronda. Breathtaking scenery, challenging (for me) walking on stunning trails with few, if any, other people around. Cozy, homey accommodation and superb food. And as an extra bonus perfect weather during the entire trip.

5 days walking up to 8 hours a day, following detailed and well thought out guide notes. The three of us enjoyed the route and the accommodation. The terrain was moderately difficult, especially in a heat wave, but the guidance notes made this clear.

On Foot Holidays are very attentive to detail and communicate well by email and telephone. They helped us revise our holiday plans when storms, landslides and the pandemic affected our originally planned route in 2020. We have booked previous holidays with On Foot and are likely to do so again because they are well tailored to our .preferences.

Solo self guided walk in Southern Tuscany. The guides were very detailed and the pre-advice excellent. The accommodation was varied, each with its own personality. The local contact ensured I had arrived safely at each day’s destination. From my first contact with On Foot Holidays to the conclusion of my holiday, the guidance and advice has been excellent. Thank you for a truly memorable holiday.

On Foot Holidays.

My husband and I love self guided walks, having someone else tend to the details. Our 7 day itinerary took us out in the Basque farming country staying in quaint villages where we experienced delicious food, and friendly people. Our last day took us down to the sea along a ridge where we had the most spectacular views. We experienced blue skies everyday and our holiday was perfect

This is our second trip with On Foot Holidays and they pay attention to every detail from the time of booking to the very end of the tour. The hiking notes and GPS were very accurate and we always had a local contact that was readily available if needed. The staff is very professional and knowledge about the tours that they offer. They actually walk the routes and have firsthand experience of the trails and the accommodations. We have already booked our third trip with them because we know we will be in good hands!

We hiked the Catalonia - El Priorat trail; The trail sent us through a variety of landscapes and trails, everything from narrow rocky paths, to almost no paths, to crossing streams. It was a challenge at times, but always worth it. The hosts that we were set up with to spend the nights, each were unique but absolutely wonderful. We couldn't have been more pleased.

On Foot Holiday and the individuals we interacted with were amazing. Our plans started with our initial trip to be in the Spring 2020. As all was put on hold, I have to say that the excellent communication and assistance from the staff at On Foot was seamless in the flexible moving of our days more than once, as Covid restrictions lifted. Their response to emails, questions was always quite quick and thorough. They willingly set up an add on day for us where their local person, Joanna, arranged an all day wine tour through Monsant and Priorat. She even drove us around.

It was wonderful thanks to the great logistics provided by the On Foot Holidays We visited a lot of unbelievably beautiful places along Amalfi Coast, had exciting hikes every day (challenging but still comfortable for our abilities) and stayed in excellent hotels.

It was a well organized trip with a lot of very helpful information: very detailed walking instructions in addition to GPS, a choice of transportation including time schedules, highlights of different places we visited and recommendations on the local restaurants. Our personal adviser, Mary Pocock, was super helpful in outlining our future trip, paying a particular attention to our needs - with her assistance we felt comfortable and secure. The choice of hotels was excellent.

We walked the Lighthouse Way with On Foot. Everything, from the accommodation and hosts, luggage pickups, route plans and GPS was well organised and excellent. Food also excellent and we got some great recommendations for places to eat. It meant we could focus on the gorgeous walk, safe in the knowledge that everything else was taken care of.

On Foot....really nice people, and everything was so well organised for us. We've already recommended them to our walking friends!

We're a party of 4. We went on a walking holiday from lake maggorie to lake orta in Italy. It was amazing. We stayed on a delightful island on Lake Maggorie for 3 nights; then walked over a mountain to lake Orta over the next few days, finishing in the medieval little town of Orta for a couple of nights. Great walking and instructions - a combination of using the written instructions and the App meant we didn't go wrong! Everything went very smoothly except one very rainy day which even On Foot can't control! Brilliant!

Another excellent On Foot holiday for us. They always seem to get it just right. The advance information, ongoing help and support during planning, and support whilst on the holiday is second to none. They are very quick to respond to queries.
