Cornwall (Land's End Circuit)

My husband and I decided to take a (somewhat last minute) trip to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary and our joint 50th birthdays while our kids were away at summer camp. We reached out to On Foot Holidays with only about a month before our possible departure, and they managed to put together the most wonderful itinerary for us. We did an inn-to-inn walking tour of the Cornwall coast, beginning and ending at St. Ives. We couldn't have been happier with our accommodations in each sweet little seaside town we visited. We walked long days and then were so happy to land in each new setting every evening for a lovely meal and good rest. I wish we could do it all over again right now :)
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
Everyone we dealt with at On Foot - Mary, Bea, Andy (all of them) were so immediately responsive to any questions we had and to helping us put things together so last minute. I can't recommend them highly enough.

A 5 day walk in the Alpes Maritimes Demanding walk but it was an adventure. It we had needed help we were confident that it was available. the two of us were self guiding with excellent maps, printed and on our phones. Stunning scenery and we hardly met another soul until we reached our destination at the end of each day. My companion, a 16 year old granddaughter is hoping we will do another trip

This was a seven day walking holiday starting at Laxe and ending at Finisterra, we did this in June 2024. The holiday itself was exceptional, with great coastal walking and attractive places to stop and stay. The walking was moderately challenging but the effort was well worth it. The seafood of Galicia is justly famous and the people are friendly and helpful.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
On Foot Travel offer a high quality service, we have used them before and likely will again. The website is easy to use and helpful with easy access to information. On Foot offer a wide range of options in a number of countries, our main challenge was choosing from so many. They are very ready to make changes or variations to the itinerary. The service from the staff is very good, they are always friendly and helpful and are knowledgeable about travel and the places they include in their itinerary. They were always up to date with our own plans, when we called we never had to explain again what we’d said before (even though we often ended up speaking to different agents). Communication was very good throughout . The walk itself was carefully planned and we were given detailed information on all aspects, they have just introduced an app which covered just about all aspects of the holiday from travel, through accommodation and places to eat to a very good GPS app for the route. The price for the holiday competitive.

We did a five-day walk through northern Czechia, averaging 12 to 13 miles per day, visiting beautiful medieval castles and castle ruins and the famous "rock towns" and staying in nice hotels each night.

They were great at communicating and supplying us with all of the resources needed. We had no issues checking into any of our hotels or with baggage transport between them. The accommodations ranged from good to excellent, as did the meals provided in the hotels. The tour operator also gave us recommendations for restaurants in the towns when those were accessible.

We loved our self guided five day walk through Bohemia with Onfoot Travel. There were towering rocks, ancient castles, beautiful forests and quaint villages. The information, maps and app provided were excellent, and made it stress free and really enjoyable. It was great to arrive at our hotel to a warm welcome after a long day of walking. The cold Czech beer was pretty good too!
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
OnFoot were fantastic. Their maps, information and app of the area were very comprehensive and provided all the detail we needed. It was reassuring too, that they had a local person to contact us with weather advice and to assist if we had needed it The staff were fantastic and very responsive. Simon helped us load the maps onto the app, via a What's App chat to Australia and all the staff responded immediately to our emails. Dealing with an agent in another country could potentially be challenging but with On Foot it was seamless.

Along with my niece, we hiked the 200km Camino dos Faros - a self guided trip booked through On foot holidays. We absolutely loved the coastal walking, the scenery, the views, the stunning beaches and the sense of being privileged to hike a route virtually unspoilt and unknown to many. At times we thought we were walking along the Causeway coast back home on Northern Ireland!

Our self-guided walking tour was 7 nights (5 days of walking) through Exmoor National Park primarily in Devon. Most of the walking was coastal with massive views but also provided nice variation; farm, woodland, river valleys. Each days route was easy to follow. We primarily used the GPS app on our phone but occasionally used the printed instructions. We enjoyed each of the accommodations and the food was excellent throughout. This is our 3rd trip with On Foot Holidays and we highly recommend them.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
This is our third self-guided walking tour with On Foot Holidays. They are very attentive to our needs as we choose and customize our walking tours. In addition, they are supportive during our holiday although to be honest, everything is so well prepared that they are not needed during our trips. Still, it is nice to get a call from a local contact at the start of our holiday should any needs arise. I also appreciate how On Foot follows up with our experience post holiday. I always get the impression that they use our feedback to improve future walkers' experiences.

A 6 day walk, with daily walking distances (after a taxi ride on some days to lessen the walking distance) of 13 - 18 km. Interesting geology and archeology. Hot and humid, which made the hotel swimming pools on two days an enticing goal. Excellent hotel accommodation with good food and wines
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
On Foot sent me an app with a GPS tracker, which I found very helpful - I would have been lost without it! They also have an English speaking local contact at the start of the walk, who made time to meet me, and who wrote excellent notes on the history and culture of the places I walked through. The luggage transfer, hotel bookings and taxi service at the start and end of the walk, as well as a couple of taxi rides to lessen the total walking distance on a couple of days, went without a hitch.

This was 6 days of walking in the Apennines, on the Salt Route from Montalto Pavese in the high hills to Camogli on the coast, The walking was tough but worth ever step, the views were amazing and the countryside totally unspoiled. We stayed at small hotels/B&Bs where the welcome was always warm and the food lovely and plentiful. It was nice to walk meeting only the very occasional other traveller and we didn't hear another English voice until we reached Camogli. We stayed at a lovely boutique hotel in Camogli for 3 nights after the walk, a fitting reward after a our fantastic walk.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
This was our 5th On Foot Holidays walk and we wouldn't go with any other company. They provide assistance in choosing a route and where to stay. They are always available for questions and everyone is so friendly whoever picks up the phone. The pack that is provided for the walk is really excellent, with clear travel information and timetables, the daily walking notes are clear and accurate, so we never go astray (but we do download the gps route that On Foot provide to our phones just in case- a good backup) and additional information is available about the towns/local history in the pack. I would recommend On Foot Holidays to anyone and frequently do. We are already planning our next walk with them.
