On foot provides a very efficient but personal and friendly service. Nothing is too much trouble. We have travelled with them several times before and will do so in the future.

On Foot is a small firm that specialises in self-guided walking holidays to unspoilt destinations. We can tell that the owners and staff of the company know the paths, the accommodation and restaurants well, and that everything about the trips they plan feels very personal.

Walking in the Priorat region of Spain

On Foot have created a beautiful walking holiday in the Priorat region of Spain, where you stay in a range of fabulous accommodation and sample some of the fantastic local cuisine. The routes are varied and interesting and, combined with the places you stay, really let you get a feel for this under explored region.

This is our fourth trip with On Foot and won't be our last. From the moment you pick up the phone to ask about a trip to the moment you return home, their customer service is superb - warm, informative and always with a personal touch. Their walking routes are well-researched and accurate and they provide a whole range of useful information to help you make the best of your trip. Their holidays have allowed us to stay in a variety of beautiful accommodation that we would never have found on our own. As a company I cannot rate them highly enough.

Priorat -a walking holiday along old monastery trails

The holiday was an independent walking holiday. All the arrangements were well organised and the route notes very detailed so that we could go at our own pace. We stayed in small hotels in mountain villages and small towns It was active but relaxing and a very enjoyable holiday.

Wonderful walking in varied, dramatic scenery, with great accommodation, food and wine.

A six-day walking holiday through the Prades mountains, the Serra de Montsant natural park and the vineyards of Priorat in Catalonia. The walking was at times challenging, but thoroughly rewarding, with ever-changing, dramatic scenery. After completing the walk, we had an extra night at Vilella Baixa and then returned to Barcelona for a two-night stay, enjoying the wonderful atmosphere of this vibrant city.

The walking was at times challenging, but thoroughly rewarding, with ever-changing, dramatic scenery. After completing the walk, we had an extra night at Vilella Baixa and then returned to Barcelona for a two-night stay, enjoying the wonderful atmosphere of this vibrant city. This was made more enjoyable by the fact that it was fiesta time in Barcelona, with everyone enjoying parades, processions and firework displays.

This is the third time we have travelled with On Foot Holidays and we cannot praise them enough. Their organisation and customer service are second-to-none, and they never fail to deliver exactly what they promise. Every aspect of the trip from our initial enquiries about the walk to the booking arrangements, provision of route information and response to feedback was dealt with quickly and efficiently. During the trip, we met another couple who have now been on twelve trips with On Foot Holidays - we have no hesitation in aiming to equal this!

Wonderful inn-to-inn walk in Spanish Priorat wine country

We spent six days walking from village to village using On Foot's meticulously detailed route notes and thoroughly enjoyed the terrain, the physical challenge, the scenery, and the hospitality of the Catalonian innkeepers On Foot arranged as part of this holiday. Walking inn to inn while having the tour operator take care of transporting our luggage each day is a perfect way for us to experience the sense of discovery and adventure we value ...

This second holiday with On Foot confirmed our opinion of the company as exceptionally reliable and attentive to detail. The staff are very knowledgeable responsive to special requests, and having local support on the ground during the walk is a reassuring bonus. On Foot is better than any other similar companies we have travelled with, and we recommend them unreservedly.

A memorable and very beautiful journey through a hidden landscape

A walking trip through woods and mountains in the Priorat region of Spain, with visits to fascinating monasteries and stays in sleepy towns and villages. Fabulous wines and great walking, with interesting places to stay, and stunning landscape. Strenuous walking, but a hugely enjoyable experience.

Far From the Madding Crowd

WE loved the feeling of adventuring - we felt as though we were poineering the trail but of course we were fully supported by excellent notes and maps, with the knowledge that we could phone the local agent, if necessary (We did- we had trouble with our phone and she was marvellous! Also, she phoned to make sure we had arrived at our destination on a partcularly stormy afternoon - fantastic!) The walking was sufficiently challenging and the ...

Also, she phoned to make sure we had arrived at our destination on a partcularly stormy afternoon - fantastic!) The walking was sufficiently challenging and the tiny towns were interesing experiences. The accomodation had been handpicked with friendly hosts. Fantastic.

From our first enquiry we found Debbie and Simon to be extremely helpful and informative. They assisted with our travel plans and were willing to customise the walk in way to suit us. It was great to talk to them on the phone (we are in New Zealand) and hear that they had actually done the walk themselves. Their enthusiasm was inspiring. All the contact was professional and timely.
