On Foot - Classic Slovenia Traveller Reviews

We spent eight days following an excellently planned route through the Karst region of Slovenia. The route was very well explained and maps provided. The scenery was beautiful and varied and the walking suited our level. The accommodation in tourists farms was all excellent with generous and friendly hosts.

On Foot Holidays organise walking holidays for people who want to walk independently. They plan the routes using local people as advisors, book accommodation and organise luggage transportation between the hotels. They are an efficient and friendly company to deal with.

A number of self-guided walking holidays staying in accommodation on the route.

I write from experience of a number of holidays with this company. It is a walking holiday (self guided) and while some of the route guidance needs careful interpretation, their attention to detail is excellent. They appear to hand pick and personally vet the properties you stay at and where possible they are not the usual run of the mill hotel groups. Highly recommended for self-guided walking holidays.

This was a walking holiday with all accommodation pre booked, and with luggage transfer between hotels. Accommodation was in a mix of hotels and tourist farms, all of which were excellent; very welcoming and superb food. All had been checked out by On Foot Holidays, and were excellent choices. The walking routes had been carefully planned and provided us with just the right amount of walking each day. If we did want to shorten a route (which we did on 2 days) our hosts were all happy to take us part way with the luggage. On Foot Holidays provided very clear walking guides for each day, backed up with maps and, crucially, GPS tracks. The latter were invaluable on the odd occasion when we we unsure about a route. There was flexibility in the holiday arrangements, allowing for extra nights in some places to allow more time to explore the area.

I was extremely Impressed with the standard of service provided by On Foot Holidays. They kept us fully informed of arrangements prior to the holiday, including personal phone calls, so that everything ran smoothly. I was particularly impressed with the time taken in a phone call to talk me through the use of GPS (being a novice in this technology, this was essential).. Also impressive was the organisation on the ground in Slovenia. Their local representative was efficient, welcoming and friendly. He contacted us on the first day to arrange transfer to our hotel, and gave us a very informative commentary during the journey. The organisation in terms of luggage transfer, dietary requirements etc was excellent - everything went without a hitch.

This was a self guided walking tour from Ljubljana to Trieste. We stayed mostly in tourist farms with our luggae being transported each day. The walking was quite easy, but the scenery was stunning and the villages we passed through and stayed in were always interesting.

From our first contact On Foot Holidays were responsive and helpful. When we were finalising our itinerary staff made themselves available to respond to our email enquiries over a weekend and despite the time difference between Australia and England. All tour arrangemnts went according to plan with delightful individual touches.

We made a foursome with our friends for a week's walking in the Karst country in May this year, self-guided and with luggage transported ahead, staying in hotels and farmhouses which provide a significant amount of home-grown food - wonderful!

Once again On Foot Holidays provided us with excellent advice about the demands of the walks before we booked. They sent us accurate maps and walk descriptions as well as a gpx file for my GPS so we didn't get lost!

My wife and I did a self-guided walking trip from outside Ljubljana to Trieste, Italy over 12 days. The itinerary allowed us to experience Slovenia just as we desired by being able to get close to the people. I feel that Onfoot's relationship with the places we stayed enhanced our time as everyone spoke very highly of the company. All arrangements were fantastic. We felt Onfoot to be a very polished company and look forward to utilizing it again in the future.
