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.

We had a very helpful local representative Aznar, who was contactable via WhatsApp. He made 3 restaurant recommendations and reservations for us which really made a difference to our holiday. Aznar also helpfully offered advice about when to use the taxi that was transferring our luggage to travel part of the way and shorten our day’s walk. On Foot provided us with comprehensive maps, and detailed instructions for the walks. Plus there was an app which I downloaded onto my phone.

A lot thought had gone into the choice of route making this a brilliant walking holiday. The vegetation and terrain were very varied. The supporting app made route-finding simple, even when it was so windy that checking a map would have been well-nigh impossible.

On Foot are a brilliant team who always give personal service. This was a 10 day holiday to La Gomera, full of fantastic scenery and lovely hotels. They have a real talent for finding excellent quality 3 and 4 star hotels with character, like Hotel Anaterve in Vallehermoso, or the Parador de San Sebastien de la Gomera. Their walking notes are easy to follow and very comprehensive. Crucially, they always offer opportunities to shorten the routes to 3 or 4 hours as well as providing longer walks. Their local contact was really helpful with recommending and booking restaurants and with organising our transfers. On Foot holidays are always a delight - great walks in wonderful locations - and La Gomera was no exception.

6 days of walking between 3 hotels in La Gomera. The routes laid down by On Foot were excellent and sent us places we would probably not have gone on our own. Instructions were top notch and having a helper on hand via text was very reassuring. The walk challenged us and we were able to by pass some Too challenging ascents by judicious use of taxis or the luggage transport.

La Gomera is a typical volcanic island in form, with a dominant peak and a radiating series of sharp ridges and steep valley walls. Formed in the subtropics, the island is enveloped in green to windward and arid to the lee. This provides On Foot Holidays with a stunning landscape for a week long trek, with a huge bonus of the Spanish island culture to revel in. Each hike, and each hotel, were very unique, and excellent. With the informative and personable Aznar, the trip contact, a text away, we were always confident we were in the right place at the right time. And hiking in warm weather in November and December? We’re glad we stayed in the Canary Islands for a month!

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

This was our sixth trip with On Foot Holidays. They continue to amaze us with their professionalism, friendliness, knowledge, and joy in providing their clients with superb service. On the trail or at our trip inns, we often compare notes with other hikers and their tour operators. No one compares to On Foot, so we’re always happy to spread the word. When we meet other On Footers, eyes light up when we discover we share the same good fortune. We plan to keep coming back until we can’t trek anymore!

This was probably my best holiday of all-time. My son and I absolutely loved it. All completely enjoyable and perfectly pleasant. Thrilling scenery, superb trails, spring-like weather and everywhere so unbusy, pristine and peaceful. At times it was like walking on a winding path through an ornamental garden with unusual plants at your feet but with Alpine views all around. The holiday provided the best of both worlds: the sense of discovery you get from independent travel but with the security and convenience of a one-click package. The app, our ghost guide Aznar and the head office information and organisation was a perfect combination. All the arrangements worked seamlessly. The taxi/bus options were very useful too and we shamelessly took them all!

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

A very high class organisation from the first point of contract, to the material sent out pre-holiday, right through to correspondence in the week or two prior to departure.

We have booked multiple trips throughout Italy and Spain with On Foot Holidays and continue to be thankful for their impeccable organization, helpful staff, and wonderfully curated trips! This particular trip was our first time booking two separate walking holidays back-to-back and everything went quite well! Both were in Galicia, Spain; the first being a coastal walk along the Lighthouse Way and the second being an inland walk in Ribeira Sacra.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

On Foot Holidays' (OFH) local operator in northern Spain was Aznar Fernando Pinedo. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in coordinating a few short cuts we required, as well as assisting through a disconnect we had with one of the accommodations along the way. We would certainly recommend him and in fact plan to return to the Basque Pyrenees with OFH this year and are happy he will be our local operator again.

Our walking route took us from Amalfi to Sorrento along the coast. In order to take in more walking we took the advice of On Foot Holidays and spent extra time in Sant' Agata, Sorrento and Capri. We have used On Foot before and they were as good this time as they were when we walked in the Dordogne. Their information packet is excellent and mailed to you prior to your trip, their route information is thorough both written and mapped and the hotels they select are comfortable and well positioned along the route. They also arranged hotels on Capri and in Naples for our arrival and departure days. I would absolutely use On Foot Holidays again and would recommend them to anyone who is considering a walking holiday. We actually did share their information with people who talked to us about a trip when we were walking the route.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

On Foot Holidays are a well organized, professional tour operator. They provide excellent information, have a local contact should you need assistance, advice etc. They clearly thoroughly vet on a regular basis the routes they suggest and the hotels they book.

We combined two walks in Spain, Andalucia and La Gomera, which were our 21st and 22nd walking holidays with On Foot. We didn’t walk a couple of days in Andalucia due to foul weather, but these were only 2 of 3 days in all of our trips that we didn’t walk. We enjoy the types of routes offered and can’t say enough about the quality of service provided by all of the staff. We are already looking at another walk!

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

We thought they were an excellent company back in 2013 when we did our first walk in Slovenia, and it’s hard to believe they could actually improve. But they certainly have. The development of new routes and GPS route guidance are two advancements that come to mind. But one thing has never changed, and that is the professionalism of the staff. They treat you as if you are their only client!

We took a walking holiday with On Foot in Tuscany in September/October. We started with a couple of nights in Siena and then walked via Pieve a Salti, Montelcino, Bagno Vignole, and Pienza, finishing in Montepulciano. The walking was beautiful and we had a wonderful time at the towns we stayed in. There was great history in the towns and also great experience of their wine making.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

The organisation was brilliant - every detail covered. Hotel choice was excellent. They provide great maps and GPS directions, town maps and public transport information when needed. They have great local guides who provide information that you need. They even have good restaurant suggestions. They are incredibly helpful in setting up the holiday and the people who work their know the walks, because they have done them. They are brilliant!!
