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 man, 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.

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.

This was our first time in Dordogne, and our first experience with OnFoot Holidays. We were very taken by the detailed description of the route, sometimes with tiny details noted ("The track becomes an asphalt lane. It passes a house with an arched porch, and, just as the road turns to the left at a 6t sign, find a waymarked grassy track off to the R (300m)." The carefully-chosen route allowed us to spend very little time on roads, and we had excellent trails and sometimes spectacular views. Accommodations were fine, even great at times.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

OnFoot Holidays was impeccably responsive to the few questions we had (For example, we once wanted to arrange an early pick-up to miss some of the day's heat,), and our baggage was transported efficiently and promptly. What more could one want?

It was a long walk in the Alpes Maritimes on the way to Menton on the Mediterranean sea. It was a lovely walk. I will say this particular itinerary had very challenging hiking so definitely it is not suited for beginner walkers or people who are afraid of exposure/heights.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

This is not the first time I have used On Foot Holidays and they are consistently wonderful and highly responsive. The routes are very well planned, the accommodations are always excellent, and they now have an app that provides all maps and orientation to prevent getting lost, which was AMAZINGLY handy on this trek. I have already booked my next walk with them on the Lighthouse Way next year.

I recently enjoyed an excellent coastal hiking tour around the South West tip of Cornwall, organised by On Foot Holidays. This was my 6th trip with On Foot Holidays and, as previously, the trip fulfilled my every expectation. I prefer their individually tailored, self guided walks rather than being part of a large guided tour. Their attention to detail, with detailed maps, notes and walking app makes the route easy to negotiate and enjoy. The small hotels were carefully chosen and the luggage transfers were excellent. The route itself encompassed a variety of landscapes and challenges, with spectacular views. Exhilarating and unique.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

On Foot Holidays offer many self guided hiking trips in Europe and England, designed for a variety of walking experiences and grades of difficulty. Individually tailored personally for each client, with itineraries, hotel bookings, luggage transfers and where necessary, transport bookings.

Six days of self-guided walking in the Cilento National Park which included plenty of opportunities to enjoy swimming in the sea as well. The route App worked very well so there was no 'getting lost' panic in the middle of nowhere. Accommodation was varied - in a good way - and our hosts friendly and helpful.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

On Foot holiday makers benefit from being able to talk to employees who have completed the walks so it's easy to get very well informed information about the practicalities of the route. The holiday company also makes sure that their area representative is on hand locally should any problems occur. We have used On Foot on four occasions and can highly recommend them. In short we wouldn't contemplate a self-guided walking holiday with anyone else.

On Foot Holidays is an exceptionally thorough walking tour provider. Every detail that can be planned in advance is clearly and meticulously presented in an excellent app that also addresses factors beyond their control - weather, trail conditions, hiker capabilities - often with firm guidance. The Alpes Maritimes route offered a variety of scenery and discoveries. We visited tiny villages, roman ruins, a limestone kiln, shepherd huts, olive orchards, water falls, and more. We hiked through aromatic Spanish broom and wild sage, shady forests and tall grasses. The trails were flat, steep, smooth, rocky, dirt, scree, pavement, narrow, wide, overgrown and clear. The accommodations were top notch - comfortable lodging, outstanding (and plentiful) food and gracious hosts who knew exactly how to make the evening respites and morning breakfasts as enjoyable and restorative as needed. We learned so much about the people and history of this region, and about ourselves. Though we were more than prepared for the arduous climbing and walking, we lacked experience navigating rocky, overgrown paths and had occasional difficulties with wayfinding. That and the high temperatures slowed and discouraged us at first. We adapted, though, and became more prepared (water and food) and skilled (interpreting trail signs, pushing through brush and navigating scree). "Challenging and rewarding" is a phrase we've seen used to describe the Alpes Maritimes holiday, and it is both of those indeed.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

On Foot Holidays was exceptionally attentive and responsive throughout the experience - as we were exploring the possibility of this holiday, as we were planning the details of our adventure and during the days on the trail.

Final day of our walk - what an epic adventure! Walked 68km total along the Amalfi coastline to Sorrento. I could not more highly recommend @onfootholidays if you’re wanting to do some walking through Europe or England. We have loved the independent nature of the walks and not seeing many other people - today we walked 15km and did not see a single other person. But, and here’s the cool thing - we always ended up at really cool and hip places and stayed in nice 3-star hotels. The walks were challenging and interesting. Scenery was off the hook! We really felt like we’d got off the tourist trail and seen the essence of the Italian landscape. Walked from Amalfi to Sorrento. This provided some epic mountainous traverses and ended up at the seaside where we could swim. Actually, we swam almost every day in the sea. Out of 5 days walking, we didn’t see any other walkers on 4 days. How special to be walking a trail by yourself. Onto the next part of our adventure tomorrow ❤️

We did one small walk based in Kranjske Gora Slovenia and then a longer walk called Classic Slovenia. We have done walking holidays before but not with On Foot. My husband has a dodgy knee so that restricted his walking capacity but On Foot accommodated that really well by allowing him to travel with the luggage a couple of times. Great service and very nice taxi drivers along the way. Accommodation was generally of a high standard and we stayed in family run places that went above and beyond with service and food provided. A great cross section of places to visit to give a good overview of Slovenia. Also their walking app was pretty good with some minor quirks that will probably be ironed out pretty quickly. Can’t recommend them high enough.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

In Slovenia Miha was our contact. Very well organised and prompt with his pick ups. When he couldn’t do it the people he used instead were also on time and very informative. Miha was also very responsive the one time we had an issue contacting a place we were staying at and the problem was sorted very easily.

This was my first walking holiday., and I was travelling alone and intending a solo walk. On Foot Holidays was a great choice for me. They were very responsive to my inquiry emails, provided very detailed info about the walk (6 nights, 5 days), arranged for lovely accommodation and provided either reservations or suggestions for meals and as a solo walker I really appreciated the daily check in with a local guide and the detailed walking instructions, maps and GPS guides.

We had a wonderful time in Umbria, a part of Italy that felt uncrowded and natural - hard to find these days. We walked through hills, towns, olive groves and grapevines that reminded us of Tuscany and explored an old deserted village with stories still to tell. We stopped for lunch beside shady overgrown creeks and gentle waterfalls. Our hosts were friendly and served up outstanding meals. We had a rest day and took a cooking class overseen by a real-life no-nonsense Italian Nonna, We saw an old abbey in a lively town where we stopped to have a spritz. We climbed an overgrown hill and explored the crumbling, deserted ruins of yet another abbey with far off views of Rome. In all ,a lovely walking holiday.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

This is the 8th Walking Holiday we've taking with On Foot Holidays and we've always had excellent trips, communication and accommodations. Their routes are well and thoughtfully designed with options to shorten or lengthen as desired. Love the flexibility and sensitivity toward their clients. Our only problem is that we can't decide which Walk to do NEXT.

Walking through the Ligurian Hills to the coast was a fabulous experience. Beautiful weather, changing landscapes, varied vegetation and a range of walking conditions all contributed to a trek that was interesting, frequently spectacular and challenging enough to give us a real sense of achievement.
