On Foot - Classic Slovenia Traveller Reviews

An interesting walk through varied and lovely countryside, sometimes with stupendous views. Slovenia was new to us and its history and mitteleuropean location was fascinating.

Helpful and friendly all the way, from first enquiry onwards.

This was planned pre-covid, but we finally got to do it Sept 2023. The Karst - culture and landscape. Prsut, Teran wine and disappearing rivers in the eastern part of Slovenia. Staying is small farm hotels or B&Bs. Wonderful trails, food, wine, people and views. Pack your bags and head to Slovenia, a real gem.

This is the second time for us with On Foot Holidays and I say they are FANTASTIC. We have used a number of walking holiday vendors and we find On Foot the BEST! Just the right vibe.

It was a 5-day hike through a beautiful Karst countryside in Slovenia. We began in Ljubljana and finished in Trieste staying in small village hotels.

On Foot Holydays provided an outstanding service to us. They were competent, always responsive and friendly. A pleasure to interact with.

Beautiful peaceful walks and great accommodation all planned meticulously by On Goot

Great flexibility and support at all times

This is our second experience of a walking holiday organised by On Foot - if anything this year was even better than last year. The route directions were accurate and gps was a good back up. Accommodation throughout was excellent - friendly hosts everywhere we went.

The On Foot team leave nothing to chance and make the planning and the actually holiday experience a joy.

Slovenia is beautiful. Italy is marvelous. A wonderful walk from mountains, through forests and vineyards, down to the Adriatic Sea. I rarely saw a soul except when passing through villages. Accommodations were clean and comfortable; hosts attentive; and food delicious. I never had to ask; everything was always efficiently done -- room ready, bag waiting; lunch packed. The route notes were accurate and useful. The uploaded GPS maps kept me pointed the right way. The local representative was welcoming and very helpful. Solo travel and a vegan diet were easy. I liked every step. As soon as I got home, I contacted On Foot Holidays and signed up for my next walk.

On Foot Holidays is superb. Dealing with the office was a pleasure -- open and honest about pros and cons; quick to respond to inquires and requests, including evenings and weekends; and thorough with information and instructions. On the ground, the local representative was in touch and helpful throughout, but never intruding. All the logistics went like clockwork. I can't overstate how well they prepare the traveler and how smooth they make the travel.

We started in Ljubljana with a few days in the delightful capital city, then walked across the beautiful Slovenian countryside arriving in Trieste in Italy six days later. The routes were around 15km each day and we stayed in small owner-run hotels, open attached to farm or vineyard. Wine tasting was available at all the locations and we enjoyed locally produced food alongside indigenous wines.

As above

I found walking in Slovenia in the springtime to be gorgeous, the colors in nature are, ironically, almost UN-natural, nearly day-glow green, a feast for the eyes! And the multitude of wildflowers are the stunning sprinkle of color on top. I traversed through various forests, meadows, hillsides and villages, and it was all delightful! The choices On Foot Holidays made with regard to route and accommodations were all superb; I simply loved knowing that every day my only task was to walk, there were no other decisions to make, everything else had been beautifully arranged and executed. I also appreciated that there was some flexibility in the schedule and the amount of walking; I did wear myself out one day(!), but it was easy to make a compensatory adjustment to the following day. This was my first solo walking trip and it was the beautiful and peaceful respite I was seeking. I am 54, female, and on the fluffy-but-active side of life...and I am happy to report that I always felt safe in every way.! My days were filled with sunshine and beautiful vistas,; a sense of accomplishment and adventure; yummy picnic lunches and delicious homemade Slovenian dinners; conversations with interesting people; spectacular castles and caves; and the happy knowledge that there was something new to see, to hear, to taste and to think about, around each corner. It was a most excellent holiday, indeed, and perfectly capped off with a couple of nights in the charming city of Trieste, Italy.

On Foot Holidays was so impressive, from beginning to end! First of all, I don't think they ever sleep...they answered my email questions almost immediately every time! In each instance their communications were informative, helpful, gracious and polite, friendly and encouraging, and special requests for extra days or a change in the order of the route were met with ease and professionalism. I especially loved that I could communicate with someone (or tow!) on staff who had recently traveled the route I wanted to take. Additionally, the packet of information they send out prior to the trip is extraordinary and made my trip run so smoothly, especially combined with the GPS tracks they send out that can be used offline. I can't speak highly enough about how well I was prepared by them for my trip and what a pleasure it was to work with them.

A group of six long-time friends and hiking companions took a 6 day self-guided hiking/walking trip in Slovenia ( Slovenia - The Karst) organized by On Foot Holidays. This was a trip that we had planned to take in 2020, but was delayed due to Covid.

On Foot is simply brilliant. Four of us had been on an On Foot holiday before. Our experience the last time was marvelous and this time it was no different. During the 2 year delay caused by Covid, On Foot stayed in touch. In the lead up to our trip they were extremely responsive, and attended immediately to every question or request. Everyone we communicated with was pleasant and efficient, and it didn't matter who at On Foot we were communicating with - they all seemed to know everything about our trip and had answers to all ur questions. On Foot arranged every detail of the trip, provided maps. - both paper and GPS - for every day's hike, written turn-by-turn instructions for every day's hike, etc. They arranged transportation where it was required - and when a taxi was supposed to turn up, it did! On time! The hotels /pensions/B&B's were fairly simple but completely adequate, and the accommodations were exactly as requested. The food was good. It is hard to think of anything they could have done better. We are already thinking about our next trip with On Foot.

Loved walking the Karst in Slovenia. Everyone in every place was so friendly. Luggage transfer happened magically without a hitch. The walking was beautiful and easy. We went in October and the leaves were gorgeous. In Slovenia, the walking was very diverse going up and down mountains with incredible views, through meadows, quaint villages, vineyards and through woods. It was all fantastic. Touring Predjama Castle and Skocjan Caves added special interest to the walk although there were other interesting sites along the way too.

Offered a local English speaking contact who took us to the start point telling us interesting history on the way there. The luggage was transferred easily and accurately. Information sent ahead of time was very detailed with many maps of the walking route, notes for the routes and information about sites seen along the way. Recommended restaurants were sent. Conversation starters were also sent such as the accordion maker and player at one accommodation. The GPS information was invaluable for us and always let us know if we were going correctly. Accommodations were all unique and well-located. All were very nice and the staff at each place was very friendly.
