Our holiday began at the southern tip of the Peak District and took us across dales, over high moors and along quiet grassy paths as well as well-trafficked, paved and sometimes eroded ridges. We spent a week following a route which had been planned for us, but we made various adjustments and took three different buses to shorten the full distance to walk. We stayed at a b & b, two hotels and an inn aptly named the Rambler Inn at Edale.

A six-day holiday with five day mostly linear walk in the Vikos area, northern Greece. Luggage was transferred between guest houses. A really lovely and unique part of the world - the villages, paths, landscape all to be enjoyed, and some spectacular views. Varied, from Vikos Gorge, which was hot at the end of May, to the melting snowfields below Astraka. The trip included a night in Astraka Mountain Hut, and a walk to Dragon Lake (the 'dragons' are now the hundreds of newts that inhabit the lake). The guest house accommodation was luxury and the food excellent, particularly the home cooking (although the Greeks give you too much food and I never know how many courses to expect).

We walked for four days - arrangements by On Foot through the Geres National Park region and along a Roman road to Santa Maria do Bouro. Early May was a perfect time - comfortable temperature and vegetation at its best. Route planning by On Foot was good - challenging some days but just enough and transfers of us and our bags was smooth.

We went on a self guided walking holiday in Umbria starting near Spoleto and ending in Mompeo.. The countryside was beautiful and the route easy to follow. It was one of the best holidays I’ve ever had

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

Seven days of carefully planned routes through beautiful countryside, stopping each night in delightful, medieval towns and villages or rural bed and breakfast farms or houses. Late Spring in Umbria is ideal for observing flora, wildlife and incredible views. The added bonus being the lack of other folk along the way. In fact we walked for seven days without meeting a single other hiker.

Our holiday was the 7 night, 6 day walking option which we really enjoyed. Part of the route follows the “Via del Sale” (Salt Road). We walked through some stunning scenery and the feeling of walking down to the coast on the last day was quite special. The holiday took us off the beaten track, staying with very friendly hosts. This gave us the opportunity to visit places and meet people we would never find by ourselves. Our bespoke walkers pack was prepared and sent in advance by On Foot and contained excellent useful local information along with extremely accurate route notes for each day's walk. Our luggage was transferred along the way and we stayed at super friendly, family run, excellent farms and hotels. For this walk on most days dinner, breakfast and packed lunches were supplied by our hosts using local ingredients cooked in local ways which is just how we like it.

A self-guided walking holiday through remote parts of the Peneda-Geres national park, passing through spectacular scenery and isolated villages.

Our group of 4 walked the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela in May 2022. The trail went through quiet countryside and over mountains, where the vistas were breathtaking. About three days in, we realised why it was a "pilgrimage". Unlike other walking holidays, the consecutive days of long, undulating walks tested our resolve to continue. Old injuries flared up, and evenings were spent nursing aching limbs and painful blisters. With some effort we persisted, helping each other along, and finding inspiration and camaraderie with the other pilgrims. Somehow, we completed the trail. Now we look back on the 320km we traversed with pride and satisfaction. We're not Catholics, nor are we particularly religious. But the Camino invited rumination, and refreshed us spiritually and mentally. On the trail they say "the Camino provides" - we found that it did, and continues to do so long after we said good bye to Santiago.

After spending a few days in the lovely city of Porto, we had 10 days' walking in the mountains of the Peneda Geres national park in northern Portugal. The national park is blissfully free of mass tourism and the walking trails lead you through tiny, old granite villages surrounded by luscious green countryside. It remains very much an authentic, rural way of life here and this is reflected in the food and drink which is almost always locally sourced. Accommodation ranges from very simple to surprisingly luxurious, but everywhere the people are friendly and welcoming. English is widely spoken, as well as French. All in all, a wonderful escape from the daily grind and the opportunity to see a part of 'real' Portugal that could not be more different from the tourist hot spots of the south.

We did a 7 day tour with On Foot Holidays in Northern Portugal: The Roman road to the monastery of Santa Maria. The tour was amazing. Very well organized. Great directions and GPS very helpful. All accommodations--hotels, restaurants, lunches-- excellent.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

The coastal path walking was tough so it was great that we could trust On Foot to take care of all the logistics, so that we just had to turn up at our next destination and know our bags would be there waiting for us.

In short: OUTSDANDING. 9 nights (7 days of walking) through the beautiful Navarra and the Basque Country area, ending in San Sebastian. Breathtaking scenery, challenging (for me) walking on stunning trails with few, if any, other people around. Cozy, homey accommodation and superb food. Culturally fascinating. Hondarribia and San Sebastian are knock-your-socks off beautiful. The trip was off-the-charts and I may well walk it again one day.

In short: OUTSDANDING. 8 nights (6 days of walking) through the beautiful Grazalema area, ending in Ronda. Breathtaking scenery, challenging (for me) walking on stunning trails with few, if any, other people around. Cozy, homey accommodation and superb food. And as an extra bonus perfect weather during the entire trip.

5 days walking up to 8 hours a day, following detailed and well thought out guide notes. The three of us enjoyed the route and the accommodation. The terrain was moderately difficult, especially in a heat wave, but the guidance notes made this clear.

Solo self guided walk in Southern Tuscany. The guides were very detailed and the pre-advice excellent. The accommodation was varied, each with its own personality. The local contact ensured I had arrived safely at each day’s destination. From my first contact with On Foot Holidays to the conclusion of my holiday, the guidance and advice has been excellent. Thank you for a truly memorable holiday.

My husband and I love self guided walks, having someone else tend to the details. Our 7 day itinerary took us out in the Basque farming country staying in quaint villages where we experienced delicious food, and friendly people. Our last day took us down to the sea along a ridge where we had the most spectacular views. We experienced blue skies everyday and our holiday was perfect

We hiked the Catalonia - El Priorat trail; The trail sent us through a variety of landscapes and trails, everything from narrow rocky paths, to almost no paths, to crossing streams. It was a challenge at times, but always worth it. The hosts that we were set up with to spend the nights, each were unique but absolutely wonderful. We couldn't have been more pleased.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

It was wonderful thanks to the great logistics provided by the On Foot Holidays We visited a lot of unbelievably beautiful places along Amalfi Coast, had exciting hikes every day (challenging but still comfortable for our abilities) and stayed in excellent hotels.
