On Foot Holidays Traveller Reviews

This was a six day self-guided walking trip along scenic mountain paths, passing through picturesque medieval villages and finishing on the Mediterranean coast. We stayed mostly in comfortable bed and breakfast accommodation, with dinner and packed lunches usually provided by very welcoming hosts.

This was our third walking trip with On Foot Holidays. They provided detailed and informative maps and route notes, booked all of the hand-picked accommodation and arranged the transfer of luggage each day. They went out of their way to ensure that the holiday was perfect. Most importantly, the route planning information was of a very high standard, so that our safety was assured at all times during the walk.

This was our third On Foot Holiday and it was the best yet. Everything was outstanding: the quality of the walking, the accommodation and the fantastic support from the kind and charming local taxi drivers and the wonderful Aznar, the local guide designer. We travelled as a family of three so On Foot was able to arrange single rooms for our daughter too. We were impressed by the spectacular scenery, so wild and undiscovered! This is a tremendous part of Spain for eating too and each accommodation stop provided delicious meals. Bravo On Foot!

On Foot are like old friends - so warm and informative at the booking stage and absolutely meticulous in all aspects of the planning process. They obviously choose all their partners in the field very carefully, so all the drivers, guides and hotel hosts are kindred On Foot spirits - equally warm and friendly with very high standards.

We had a week on the Galician coast walking the Lighthouse way. It was one of the loveliest walking routes I've done, with stunning scenery and some truly exceptional accommodation.

From the pre-holiday planning and paperwork to final follow-up on our feedback, On Foot Holidays consistently went the extra mile. We literally couldn't fault them and will certainly want to travel with them again.

I enjoyed my walk not too hot I got lost a bit but usually found my way in the end. I liked the very individual and cozy German hotels.

On Foot were very organised and responsive to emails. Their walkers pack seemed to think of everything and all arrangements with hotels worked fine

A self-guided walking holiday in the Priorat region of Spain. We undertook the five day route which was perfectly designed and characterised by great variety - monasteries, vineyards, cliff edges quaint villages and cosy and unique accommodation. Very picturesque and most days we were the only ones on the trail (we walked in July so potentially it was a case of mad dogs and Englishmen ....). Highlights were the spectacular scenery and a chance to really get off the beaten track, just an hour and a half from Barcelona. And lovely hosts.

On Foot holidays provided great support - the map notes were terrific (including all the travel and accommodation notes) and made us completely self-sufficient, however there was also an on-the-ground rep who contacted us and was available in emergency. We are based in Australia but this caused no difficulties in booking or managing the holiday arrangements.

A thoroughly enjoyable walking holiday through the Yorkshire Dales with excellent accommodation throughout.

We have now used On Foot Holidays for four holidays, and are planning a fifth. Each time they have been very professional, highly organised and a pleasure to work with.

This was a self guided walking holiday along the Lighthouse Way in Galicia. We could not fault the arrangements right from booking to the end of the holiday.The walk was through beautiful countryside, mainly along the Coast, with carpets of wild flowers all the way.We walked across deserted beaches with white sand and enjoyed several bathes. The weather was mainly sunny and warm with very few people around. We stayed in characterful accommodation with delightful hosts and warm hospitality.We ate first rate fish and sea food washed down by local white wine wherever we went at very reasonable prices.

As with other holidays with On Foot the arrangements were faultless. Everything worked well and we had all the information and maps we needed.

Everyone in the family (teenagers included!) agreed it was one of the best vacations we've ever had. We got lucky with the weather - seven days of perfect walking weather in England in June. No small feat. The walking route was a lovely combination of fields, moors, woods and small towns, and the beginning and end points were locations we could have spent a few extra days exploring. Every day we started with a huge breakfast, and then set out on our route for the day. It was an ideal vacation for us - surrounded by nature, active and challenging, but with a shower and fabulous pub meal awaiting us at the end. It was a luxury to focus on the countryside and our hiking, not the logistics of it all. We would do it again, and will.

Honestly, this was one of the best companies I've dealt with in a long time, and I don't say that lightly. They responded to my questions promptly, designed an outstanding route with shortening options, followed up with excellent trip materials (maps, directions, tourist attractions, history), offered advice and support for the trip, and solicited honest feedback afterwards. They PAID ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS. I find that rare these days, and it's critical to the success of a trip like this. I booked this trip with On Foot Holidays based on the personal recommendation of a friend who had used them before and still does. I would highly recommend On Foot Holidays, without caveat or reservation.

We had an excellent trip in the Lake District in Italy. It is tough to say what was the best part of the trip, the hikes on wonderful trails, the people we met, the fine dining or just traveling with friends.

This was our second trip with On Foot Holidays, the first one was Amalfi Coast. Two very different hikes but we loved them both. I am a stickler on details, especially transportation, getting to and from the airport and the ferry schedule. On advise from On Foot we took a bus from San Sebastion, caught a plane from Bilbao to Milan, caught a bus to Lake Maggiore and a ferry to Isola de Pescatore with no hang ups! They are a well oiled machine, willing to help out in any way possible. I would highly recommend using On Foot Holidays.

We had a great time walking the Bohemia Paradise walk. The scenery was beautiful and varied, the trails were clearly marked and the history and sights were very informative. Each of the inns we stayed in were different and unique in their own way which added to the charm of the trip. The staff were very helpful in answering questions. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring this part of the world. Looking forward to our next walking trip!! Hmmm, where to go . . . ?

Petr was responsive to questions and our need at one point to book a taxi. All went very well.
