Majestic mountains and quiet footpaths

We have been with On Foot holidays before and they are always well organised offering scenic varied routes and interesting places to stay. Would definitely recommend this trip although perhaps a week or two earlier. We knew we were on the cusp when we booked it but it was hot! Europe was in the middle of a heatwave however. We will be going with On Foot again.

Hiking the Picos foothills

We spent just over a week in the eastern foothills of the Picos de Europa, hiking from place to place while our luggage was moved for us. The mid-June landscapes were beautiful, ranging from meadows stuffed with wild flowers and butterflies to bare limestone crags where we spotted an ibex and watched griffon vultures gliding. It was wonderful to be able to explore this quiet, semi-montane area with confidence.

We've used On Foot several times, and their arrangements for us have always worked perfectly. They're friendly and respond quickly to questions, the hike directions are clear, and they are at your back if you have any queries while on holiday. Accommodation is always clean and comfortable, varying from simple to luxurious depending on where you are!

Lovely walking excellently organised

We spent eight days walking in the foothills of the Picos de Europa in Northern Spain. The countryside is lush, green, and very beautiful. Well-chosen accommodation. Lovely food and wonderful local wine.

On Foot are unfailingly friendly, and professional and organise thoroughly enjoyable holidays. We've been walking their routes for years, now, and not once have we been disappointed.

Lovely rural walk

This was a multi day walk through the foothills in northern Spain. There was enough of a challenge so that we felt we were getting a good workout, but it was not exhausting. We loved seeing the little villages and rural landscape.

Everything was very smooth and easy. We have used On Foot Holidays before and will do it again. They are reliable, helpful, and make traveling simple.

A six-day self-guided walking holiday in Cantabria, Northern Spain.

Six days' walking from the village of La Lastra to Espinama in the foothills of the Picos de Europa. Luggage transfers arranged each day, so we only had to carry our day packs. Stunning scenery, perfect weather and great accommodation made this another perfect holiday through On Foot.

This was our eighth trip through On Foot Holidays. As ever, they made all the arrangements quickly and efficiently and any queries that we had were answered straight away. Their local contact in Spain was also very proactive and replied very quickly to a couple of questions we raised with him during the trip. As well as the great choice of trips that On Foot offer and the high standard of accommodation, their overall service is second to none - this is a key reason why we've booked so many trips with them.
