Customer comments

"Your attention to detail with the walk notes and selection of very comfortable hotels was great. I cannot think of any improvements - everything was great and I am recommending your company to any of my friends who are contemplating walking in the UK. Lizzie Ashley-Cooper was extremely helpful; she met us after our first days walk so we felt that we had a 'contact' if it was needed. She also helped us change the order of the final two days walks so that we could take advantage of the cable car to the Aiguille du Midi." July '11

 

"On Day 6, as we had our car in Chamonix and Lizzy offered to drive us there in the morning, she gave us notes for a walk above Sallanches: Burzier - Doran - Mayere- Buzier which we thoroughly enjoyed. Day 7 really was spectacular, with ideal weather, and we had our morning coffee in Italy! The Grand Balcon Nord was also another great walk for the views." June '10

 

"It was exactly what we thought it would be... challenging but beautiful and the directions were spot on. Lizzy called us several mornings to ensure we were okay. One day when it was raining she arranged to pick us up mid-hike and took us to a small village to taste bread from a communal bread oven. She was amazing!" Sep '10

 

"Trust. That is the operative word here. I have total and absolute trust in On Foot Holidays -- that I am getting what you tell me I am getting. Everything is exactly as described, from charges to level of difficulty. The French Alps holiday is just a breathtaking experience and is always changing for the better..." June '09

"The website was so informative and it was so easy to speak with someone to find out details. The staff really sold us on the trip." Aug '10

 

"The blue booklet was awesome. We even kept ours as a souvenir. We ate at the recommended restaurants and took advantage of all the advice. It was truly our bible during the trip. It was an ideal vacation. We were so happy throughout." July '10

 

"We enjoyed the feeling of independent walking but knowing that someone would be aware if we didn't turn up that evening. Great to walk the valley and have luggage transported - thank you." July '09

 

"Lizzie telephoned to be sure we were OK after a thunderstorm and also suggested an alternative walk which turned out to be most enjoyable. Fantastic holiday - would recommend highly to anybody." June '10

 

"The list of plants at the back of the blue tour guide proved to be very useful - we found most of them.  A fantastic trip - thank you."

 

"The cheese trolley should not be missed."

 

"This is a holiday that will be imprinted on my memory for all time. I still marvel at the profusion of wild meadow flowers set against the contrast of snow-capped peaks."
