On Foot Holidays Traveller Reviews

Six of us had an excellent walking holiday in September, organised by On Foot Holidays. We spent 7 nights on a linear walk along the Lighthouse Way in Galicia, Northern Spain. It was a unique walk through magnificent coastal scenery. Some of the walking was quite challenging, but it was always very exhilarating to walk along the cliffs and across wonderful sandy beaches. The little towns/villages where we overnighted all had their own character.

On Foot Holidays' organisation was impeccable. They provided very comprehensive Walkers’ Packs, detailed instructions and good maps, as well as helpful hints about which beaches were safe. The accommodation was excellent and we had the daily support through On Foot Holidays of a Spanish contact who knew the walk and gave us daily weather reports and other useful information - a service we have never before encountered with a walking tour provider.

Short walking holiday a deux. Easy logistics, amazing hotel and food, stunning scenery. Robust but doable walking.

Flexible as our needs changed, great recommendations on food, directions and guides totally on point. All we had to do was walk, chat and decompress.

Challenging but rewarding walk from Buonconvento to Montepulciano via trails and cross country..

On Foot Holidays is outstanding in every aspect....firstclass customer service with extremely prompt replies to any and every question. Very good walking notes and maps and interesting supplementary material outlining the history and dining opportunities in the area. 10/10.

Two days walking through vineyards, followed by four days crossing the Apennines with a spectacular descent to the Ligurian coast on the last day. Excellent food in small local hotels each night. Luxurious spa hotel at the end to recover in.

Self guided walk with on foot holidays. Excellent walk notes and GPS tracks. Local contact in case of any problems. Helpful options to shorten some of the longer days by taking a taxi. Fantastic and varied food along the way.

Walking through the Bohemian Paradise in Czech Republic was a great experience. Organised by On Foot Holidays, everything was perfect; excellent routes and guidance notes; helpful and supportive staff; lovely locations and fantastic scenery; a good mixture of challenging and comfortable walking; comfortable and pleasantly varied accommodation; helpful and friendly locals; good food and beer. What more could you want?! Thank you to On Foot Holidays

A great support team; really good choice of walks with excellent guidance notes and information. Really good value for money. And a great website.

We're sitting in the Hotel Brenner in Koblenz, after our splendid 7-day walk. We are VERY happy customers. Thank you for your attention to every detail in designing our hike. Quite pleased with your choice of lodgings, many tips and recommendations and superb customer service. Most of all, though, your very specific word choices--when specific words mean the difference between getting lost and staying on track--were just great. We never got lost! We are seniors (70 and 62), maybe a little more fit than average, and found the routes just challenging enough (while taking shortcuts sometimes to explore castles or towns).

Couldn’t be better.

A three day walk from Ljubljana, Slovenia, across a limestone plateau to the city of Trieste. Two nights excellent accommodation en route. This was my first experience of a walking holiday provided by an operator and I was travelling alone, so it was important to me to feel well prepared and supported at all stages. On Foot delivered in spades. The itinerary was manageable but sufficiently challenging and navigation was straightforward using the provided notes and GPS tracks.

Communication was excellent at all times. The advertised description was accurate and a good match for my needs, except that I wanted some flexibility around accommodation in the start and destination cities. On Foot were very supportive in helping me meet this objective, even though I was not using their partner hotels. I would not hesitate to recommend On Foot Holidays and was particularly impressed by the positive way that the local contacts spoke of their long-term relationship with the company.

We walked the Priorat 7-day "Monastery & Vineyard" route. Some challenging steep climbs and (and drops!) in stunning scenery. A very friendly welcome at every accommodation. Still very warm in mid September.

Very informative and helpful

A well thought walk following the coastline with stunning views . A mix of easy and quite demanding walking with some steep climbs and descents some days. Comfortable accommodation in small, welcoming hotels and albergues . Great local seafood and wine .

Excellent communication from start to finish . Detailed notes and maps for each day's walking with a very helpful local host to advise on matters such as possible taxi transfers, best local restaurants etc .

Fantastic holiday - an escape to the wonderful rugged coastline of Galicia. A beautiful walk over six days with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and miles of deserted trail and beaches to explore. Faultless arrangements and daily support. Great accommodation and a chance to meet some of the friendliest Spanish locals along the way. Local food (fish/shellfish) and wine was memorable for all the best reasons.

Expertise and friendly advice from day one. Arrangements, details and information was fool-proof. Local support was also first class. The "personal touch" shone through in every way.
