On Foot - La Gomera Traveller Reviews

The unique scenery, vegetation and geology on La Gomera, the reliable climate and the surprisingly good food and wine made this a holiday that more than lived up to our expectations . We were nervous, initially, about the terrain, barely a flat surface, but got into the stride - quite literally and found the walking quite manageable and immensely rewarding. Every valley was different and there were surprises around every corner as each view opened up. And a lot of space for a small island, other hikers came and went but we felt as though we had the place to ourselves much of the time. Thoroughly recommended.

Third time with On Foot and we will definitely be going again, all being well. They are caring, organised, efficient and put together a great offering with a pack of instructions, vouchers and bookings that work on the day…

Arranged a short notice - fancied a few days walking in the sun. On Foot Holidays suggested La Gomera, which suited our needs perfectly. The self-guided tour was tailored to our preferences in terms of daily distance and type of accommodation en route. Perfect weather helped (sun, mid-teens and slight breeze)......... We have taken several holidays with On Foot in various locations - this was one of the best yet.

Helpful and informed staff. Efficient service in terms of communication, assistance, information packs for both the journey to the location and for the walk itself - and a 'local' contact who provided on-the-spot help when required.

This was a self-guided walk around the island of La Gomera in The Canaries. On Foot Holidays book the hotels and provide the maps and walking instructions. All I had to do was decide when to start the walk and how to get to the pick-up point at the airport. On Foot Holidays made all the transfer arrangements so there was no stress. I stayed at each accommodation for two nights then moved onto the next one. I could have had my bag carried from point to point but I like carrying my own stuff!

On Foot Holidays are a friendly and efficient bunch of people. They were always quick to get back to me during the planning phase of the holiday and whilst I was walking I had a local contact if I needed help or advice. I feel that the people in this organisation really cared about my experience; indeed I had one tiny criticism about the transfer company and they have already responded and said they will have a word with them.

We did a 3 day walking tour of La Gomera which was absolutely out of this world. We were blown away by the beauty of the island and the spectacular scenery. It is incredible and completely unspoilt. The walking is tough and they mean it when they say "walking poles essential" but you are rewarded for the hard climbs! The guest houses are basic but clean and work well. I would highly recommend the trip

From the initial enquiry, pre holiday information, the fantastic app and on the ground support were all excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and any questions immediately responded to. I would highly recommend On Foot Holidays they were brilliant & I will definitely be booking more trips in the future.

Four of us friends went to La Gomera in a calling holiday with On Foot Holidays in March. The whole holiday was a glorious adventure from the ferry from Tenerife, to the wonderful unspoilt views, excellent laid out routes, super food and hotels and of course very friendly people.

They certainly went the extra mile. Nothing too much trouble. They were very knowledgeable in fact one of their staff (Mary) had only just come back from La Gomera so gave us great information. The booking process was easy and I have to say their new app made it sooooo much say from all the information in one place to route guidance which kept us on track (we would have got lost with out it for sure!)

A walking holiday on the island of La Gomera. Transfers, ferries, accommodation arranged, luggage transferred for us and all walking routes provided in detail by On Foot Holidays so we could just enjoy the wonderful routes, stunning scenery and varied landscape of the island.

Communication was brilliant throughout both with the UK office and the local agent, who was really helpful and checked in with us daily to make sure we had everything we needed . Walking info was very comprehensive and detailed. Great to deal with really nice, professional people who answer their phones and emails immediately!

Point point walking with luggage transfers mostly basic/good hotels and food but the scenery was unbelievable

On foot holidays, very individual approach with excellent back up on the walk

Seven days on the island of Gomera, walking for a tipotal of six days. Sel guided but tour operator provided comprehensive maps and route notes as well as a phone app.

On foot holidays were very organised and communicated effectively throughout. We felt totally supported.

La Gomera is truly a captivating island of beautiful and unexpected landscapes, in terms of the vegetation and volcanic landforms, as we journeyed on foot each day. Early March was perfect weather wise for walking, and we were glad to be mostly well above sea level and to be able to benefit from the cooling breeze. The walks were very well planned, both challenging and rewarding, and we were pleased that the hotels and restaurants we visited were genuine local family businesses. We did get a real appreciation of this very special Canarian gem. The people were so friendly and helpful, the hotels spotlessly clean and we enjoyed tucking into good hearty portions of local dishes in the evenings.

Onfoot Holidays and our local whats app guide contact were excellent at every stage. They really know what they are doing and their admin is always first class; so prompt and efficient.

We had a wonderful time walking around La Gomera. On Foot Holidays took care of all the arrangements - even including making dinner reservations for us - leaving us free to enjoy our stunning walk.

On Foot Holidays provide a consistently efficient, friendly and highly professional level of service. We have found this to be the case every time we have used them.
