On Foot Holidays - Dorset Traveller Reviews

This is an absolute gem of a walking holiday through the Dorset countryside, staying at small inns along the way, all organized by OnFoot. They plan the route, give very detailed instructions with points of interest along the way, and move our luggage from point to point each day. This was our fourth walking holiday with OnFoot and they're fantastic, taking us off the beaten track into parts of countries we'd never ordinarily discover and sending us to lovely inns each night. We plan another walk with them in Italy next May.

We have complete confidence in OnFoot, having done four of their walks so far. Extremely reliable, always engaging, prompt response to any questions. Good value for the money. They do a great job.

This was a seven day walking tour on Dorset, built of public footpaths and right of ways between Salisbury and Lyme Regis. Several small villages, a castle, a 14th c. church, a manor house garden, and of course the splendors of the Wessex Ridgeway and the Golden Cap were integrated into the walk.

On Foot Holidays were responsive and thorough in preparing me for the holiday and provided lots of additional services, recommendations, and resources as part of the booking.

My holiday was a walk from Salisbury to Lyme Regis in England. The 7 days included some beautiful villages, farming country and coastline. The walk was well planned and excellent information was provided by On Foot Holidays on the countryside, including the geography and literary associations (e.g. Thomas Hardy's novels). The walk was rated as medium difficulty, which was correct so met my expectations. Each day I walked from about 18 to 25 kilometres. The final day was along the Jurassic Coast, which was magnificent. The destination, Lyme Regis, was a fascinating town and well worth spending an extra day there, which I did.

On Foot Holidays staff were brilliant - very professional and communicative. The booking process was easy. The material to prepare for the walk was sufficiently detailed, arrived very promptly and they were very helpful at all stages. The accommodation booked was extremely comfortable and my luggage always arrived at the destination hotel. This was the second walk I have done with On Foot Holidays, the other being in Tuscany in 2012, and I plan to do more.

We spent 6 days walking from Salisbury to Lyme Regis through gorgeous countryside. We tramped carefree while our luggage was transported between boutique B&B accomodation spots all organised by On Foot. We were so relaxed and liberated by the feeling of freedom from holiday logistics responsibility - we were left free to just set out, follow the paths and keep on walking!

We exchanged many friendly emails with the On Foot team in the months leading up to our holiday, and were delighted to meet Simon and Mary in person on arrival! They were always proactive, organised, helpful and friendly, even taking our calls while we were out on our trip when we needed guidance! We really appreciated how personal and genuine was all contact with the company members.

Self-guided walking from Tisbury to Lyme Regis, plus a couple of nights in Salisbury at the beginning. A gorgeous route!

On Foot Holidays, based in Salisbury--specializing in self-guided walking packages in Europe and UK, where one's luggage is moved by taxi from one B&B or pub to the next, and the traveller walks the route with detailed notes and maps. I like this operator because their routes are carefully chosen and extremely well-researched--you can be confident it won't be a dud.

We spent a week walking through Dorset from Salisbury to Lyme Regis following in the foot steps of Thomas Hardy. On Foot Holidays arranged the route and pre booked our accommodations. They met with us the first night and provided us with maps, written directions, a compass and a cell phone. The accommodations they arranged were excellent Bed and Breakfasts or small Inns. All in all it was a superb holiday.
