Self-guided walking in unspoilt Europe

Seek the still-vibrant rural soul which infuses the lesser-known areas of southern and central Europe and the UK with On Foot Holidays. Find the beauty that arises from the harmony of people, history, culture and landscape. Our mission is to give you the freedom of discovery, walking at your own pace, exploring quiet footpaths and villages along the way.

You will normally stay in small, family run accommodation and will fortify the inner soul as the locals do – with home grown foods and the best local wines. And we carry your luggage, so that you can concentrate on enjoying the mountains, meadows and coasts. Our routes are designed by locals, and have a goal – somewhere great to arrive at. Search here for holidays for all walking abilities and tastes.

But most of all, we love to talk to you, so contact us for the best and most personal service you will get from any walking holiday company. We can advise on the routes that will suit you best, and if you’re thinking of combining two holidays as part of a longer tour, see our recommendations for ‘route pairing’ and suggested rail connections here.

You can find more about how we work and answers to the most frequently asked questions on this website, or give us a call.

We both had a great time - the walking, scenery, accommodation and food. We enjoyed the quietness - saw no other walkers for the first four days. Organisationally On Foot were spot on - everything worked really smoothly.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

From initial contact to follow up after our holiday, On Foot delivered exactly what we wanted. We normally organise everything ourselves and have lots of experience. Using On Foot was an experiment and On Foot put together something that would have been very difficult for us to piece together on our own. We were left with total independence on a day to day basis but with the knowledge that we had back up if needed and that route finding and accommodation would work well.

We travelled to Northern Provence in early September , slightly concerned that it would be too hot, but there was plenty of shade on the walks so the heat was ok. The walks are quite strenuous and many of the footpaths are very rocky so not particularly comfortable underfoot. We are in our early 60s and pretty fit but were still challenged at times. The accommodation is largely good with the exception of Les Geraniums in Barroux which is very basic. The Hotel Montmirail was our favourite with excellent dinners on the courtyard in the evening. We were walking during the grape harvest which gave an added interest to the scenery. Overall we would highly recommend it

8 days of hiking in hills of Priorate using the Onfoot provided app and printed materials to navigate easily. Some amazing sight to see in terms of views, and also some interesting historical sites. The accommodation, food and wine were good quality and value.

We walked the lighthouse way from Camarinas to Finisterre. 4 days walking in all but with a rest day at the excellent parador in Muxia along the way. The route was excellent with some very sensible variation options offered by on foot. The accommodation provided was really nice. A great blend of small friendly hotels and larger home stays. The route that on foot offered was truly memorable and well thought through. The views were stunning and because some of the walking days were quite long we felt a real sense of achievement at the end. I would highly recommend this route and On Foot.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

On Foot are a really friendly company offering great personal service. Whenever we contacted them they listened and nothing was too much trouble for them. We felt fully prepared and confident that they were on top of our transfers. Their walking app was fantastic. It accurately helped us keep on track but also provided so much useful information about the sights along the way and the best places to eat and the local history. They also provided paper walking instructions and histories at our request with no problem as well as lots of useful packing and equipment guidance. Something that made On Foot stand out from others we have tried was the support of the local in-country specialist who we could contact by whatsApp. Aznar was always there to check we had arrived safely, that everything was ok and would even send us weather reports for the following day. Having done a previous walk with on Foot in the Pyrenees with Aznar in support it was nice to have a familiar person who knew what we liked at the end of the line. Whilst Santiago de Compostela was not on the walking route, On Foot organized our accommodation and transfers and provided lots of useful information so that we could enjoy our winding down phase (Including history, places to eat and transport options)

Booked through Onfootholidays, myself and two girlfriends hiked 6 days in the Dolomites. We stayed in San Candido, Misurina and Cortina - all of which were charming. Our hotels were comfortable and inviting. The hikes were rigorous but do-able and each provided the reward of spectacular views and delicious lunches at remote refuges. I looked forward to each day and the natural wonders that awaited.

We booked a seven night self-guided walking trip along the western side of Lake Garda, staying in a number of wonderful hotels en route. The walks had been well researched and offered spectacular views of the lake and surrounding mountains. After each day's physical exertions we relaxed with delicious Italian cuisine and local wines .

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

This was our ninth walking trip with On Foot Holidays. We booked only a few weeks beforehand and, with minimal time to research, we quickly chose one of their brand new destinations. However, based on our previous bookings, we had complete confidence that we could trust On Foot to provide safe and scenic walking routes, informative route plans, reliable daily luggage transportation, quality accommodation, and the support of a helpful local contact if needed.

We walked the first part of this route in May and came back to finish it in September. A very good decision! The weather was glorious and we could stay another couple of night in beautiful Casperia. Wonderful food, wine and accommodation and stunning scenery. It was hot, but the walks are well graded with plenty of shade.

On Foot provide a very personal service and take all feedback on board. The App for the routes is really very good and provided all the information and guidance we needed, and the local contact kept in touch throughout. Outstanding service.

I had lovely weather for the entire holiday! As always, On Foot was extremely well-organized and booked lovely places to stay. This hike has some extremely difficult days with sections of trail that are very exposed. My suggestion would be to take the warnings about vertigo and alternate routes in bad weather very seriously as there are stretches of trail where there would be dire consequences if one slipped.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

On Foot provides a bespoke app with maps and all the essential information you need to have a fabulous holiday. Their in-country guide for Spain, Aznar, was incredibly helpful and was a lifeline for me during my stay. The accommodations each night were lovely and I can't wait for my next tour.

We went on the Classic Slovenia walk and absolutely loved it. We didn't know what to expect from Slovenia, beyond Ljubljana and Lake Bled, but we were definitely not disappointed! Slovenia's countryside, vineyards and forests are gorgeous. It was so relaxing to walk the beautiful trails, not seeing anyone else and just feeling like we had the place to ourselves. We'd then come across lovely, quiet little villages and were able to get a peek into Slovenian life. The walk was not challenging (which is exactly what we wanted on this occasion), but there were enough hills to get our blood pumping and legs going. We spent three nights in Ljubljana before starting, and three nights in Trieste at the end, before moving on to Venice. I think the extra nights either end were well worth it. Both places had enough to offer and were absolutely stunning. More importantly, there were some fantastic side trips within the walk. We visited Predjama Castle (do not skip this!!) and stayed an extra night at Guesthouse Sajna and visited the Škocjan Caves. This is even more of a must-see. We were mind-blown by the size of the caves, how beautiful they were and how spaces like this exist right underneath us! We hired e-bikes and rode out and back. The route we took was 90% off-road and easy enough to follow on the Pocket Earth app (all the information for this is provided by On Foot). We had a ball zooming around on the bikes, and it was nice to have a lie-in! Seriously, the caves are worth a visit, however you get there. All the accommodation we stayed in was great. The food at Ecotourism Farm, Hisa Posebne Sorte and Guesthouse Sajna were particular highlights. The love and commitment to seasonal and local produce was really evident, and it was lovely to experience the warmth and personal touch that came with staying at family-run accommodations. And the wine! We were in Ljubljana in early August, during a heatwave, and did spend some days out on the trails in 37-degree heat. Nothing could have been done about this and we just had to get on with it (husband actually loved it, I was a little more sun-aware!!). We still got to see the wildflowers, and it was only on the last day or so of the walk that the land began to look parched. The vineyards were all very healthy though- hurray!

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

This is our 4th time using On Foot, and we will be booking again- I think that says enough! The customer service is great – all questions are answered quickly. On this booking, we had to go back and forth a little to settle on dates, but it was all very easy. It's also great to know that the staff at On Foot have done the routes as well (what a job!!), so when answering questions, they do so with first-hand knowledge. Everything needed is provided. The app is great to follow and keeps me confident that we are on the right track. My husband likes to read the written descriptions, and we both used the maps to plan our days. You could easily just do it with the app, though! We are really looking forward to looking at where our next trip will be and getting it booked.

We walked for 7 days from Poblet to Falset staying along the way at Rojals, Prades, Cornudella, La Morera and Gratallops.. The walk was through a variety of landscapes, including beautiful bush, grapevines, hills, river valleys, and including some relatively steep and challenging terrain. Views were fantastic in places. Highlights were the climb up Montsant, the walk from Prades along the Suriana river valley and the climb up to Siurana citadel.

Very good communication, well organized, helpful and good attention to detail. Accommodations and food very good. Always replied promptly to requests for information. The App provided was excellent and kept us safely on track through some quite remote territory.
