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.

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

Our walking route took us from Amalfi to Sorrento along the coast. In order to take in more walking we took the advice of On Foot Holidays and spent extra time in Sant' Agata, Sorrento and Capri. We have used On Foot before and they were as good this time as they were when we walked in the Dordogne. Their information packet is excellent and mailed to you prior to your trip, their route information is thorough both written and mapped and the hotels they select are comfortable and well positioned along the route. They also arranged hotels on Capri and in Naples for our arrival and departure days. I would absolutely use On Foot Holidays again and would recommend them to anyone who is considering a walking holiday. We actually did share their information with people who talked to us about a trip when we were walking the route.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

On Foot Holidays are a well organized, professional tour operator. They provide excellent information, have a local contact should you need assistance, advice etc. They clearly thoroughly vet on a regular basis the routes they suggest and the hotels they book.

We combined two walks in Spain, Andalucia and La Gomera, which were our 21st and 22nd walking holidays with On Foot. We didn’t walk a couple of days in Andalucia due to foul weather, but these were only 2 of 3 days in all of our trips that we didn’t walk. We enjoy the types of routes offered and can’t say enough about the quality of service provided by all of the staff. We are already looking at another walk!

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

We thought they were an excellent company back in 2013 when we did our first walk in Slovenia, and it’s hard to believe they could actually improve. But they certainly have. The development of new routes and GPS route guidance are two advancements that come to mind. But one thing has never changed, and that is the professionalism of the staff. They treat you as if you are their only client!

We took a walking holiday with On Foot in Tuscany in September/October. We started with a couple of nights in Siena and then walked via Pieve a Salti, Montelcino, Bagno Vignole, and Pienza, finishing in Montepulciano. The walking was beautiful and we had a wonderful time at the towns we stayed in. There was great history in the towns and also great experience of their wine making.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

The organisation was brilliant - every detail covered. Hotel choice was excellent. They provide great maps and GPS directions, town maps and public transport information when needed. They have great local guides who provide information that you need. They even have good restaurant suggestions. They are incredibly helpful in setting up the holiday and the people who work their know the walks, because they have done them. They are brilliant!!

An amazing hike through beautiful countryside. The towns that were high on the hilltop (where we stayed) were well worth the climb at the end of the day. On Foot did an excellent job of selecting where we stayed as well as the trail itself.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

This is my 3rd hiking trip with On Foot. Quality for cost is excellent. My husband and I have both been so impressed with the places they select for staying and the reputation they have developed with the hosts. As always, On Foot were so helpful through the whole process from start to finish. Any questions, quick to respond. We have told many people about On Foot! Highly recommend.

It was very well organised and very well planned, thoroughly enjoyable and with the right level of challenge and reward. The challenge is presented by the very special topography of this volcanic island and the rewards are those of discovering breathtaking vistas and amazing discoveries in the most unexpected places. The landscapes are spectacular, in some places nature in the raw; a wild rocky harsh environment. In others nature tamed with awesome stone terracing and intense cultivation. The laurisilva cloud forest areas are special, especially so when shrouded in mists; dark, cool and mysterious. And then you descend into the warmth and sunshine of the lower elevations. Hotels were well chosen and of high standard. Transport when scheduled between stops was reliable and luxurious.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

On-Foot were particularly efficient at assisting us to add in extra days and provided well informed advice about the locations. The pre-tour planning was very good as was the pre-tour information. Routes were well chosen and the GPS tracked guidance was spot-on. On island guidance and advice, provided by their Spanish representative was top-rate and immediate in response to the very few queries that we had.

Six days' place to place walking in the Yorkshire Dales through beautiful scenery and pretty villages, staying in Guesthouses and pubs with great food and drink. We loved the area and the length of days was just right for us given that there was some ascent each day. Excellent local knowledge from the local representative who developed the route and phoned us at the start to check all was OK.

I traveled solo in mid to late October, but the walks and accommodations were still quite busy. I followed the walking routes designed by OnFoot Holidays and really enjoyed the spectacular scenery and hospitality offered by my hotels. I loved setting out each mornin-- map, directions and GPS in hand--and discovering what the day would bring. The notes provided included several options for each day's walking. It was a joy to go on this adventure.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

OnFoot Holidays offers top-notch customer service from initial enquiry to final follow-up. They went above and beyond my expectations, including detailed information about transport schedules and options available on each day of the trip. Any questions I had were always fully and quickly answered.

We chose this walking tour because our family heritage is rooted in Dorset. The tour fit us perfectly because we wanted to spend extra time in some locations and OFH created a custom schedule that fit our needs. We appreciated OFH's built-in options to adjust that day's walking distance. Their walking instructions and GPS tracking maps were easy to use, spot on, and ensured we never got lost. Kudos to OFH for their welcoming and comfortable hotel choices. OFH always ensured that the hotels had advance notice of my dietary needs and allergens. Our entire experience was pleasurable and memorable and OFH made this possible.

From start to finish, our tour operator was attentive, thorough, and detailed. They anticipated our every possible need and even provided information for scheduling our transportation needs before and after our walking tour. On Foot Holidays exceeded our expectations!

We opted for the On Foot Holiday 6 night route with an additional 3 rest days in Vitina, Stemnitsa and Dimitsana. Hiking this area of Greece is first rate. Gorgeous scenery and magical mountain villages. Our itinerary included a home stay that was the highlight of our trip.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

Always available, quick to respond to any questions, friendly, good sense of humor, people on the ground in Greece helpful, reliable and very friendly. On Foot covers every last detail, incl hiking the opposite direction as most, a little bit of genius making the village of Dimitsana the final prize. Route notes, maps, and GPS app were indispensable. The only thing OFH doesn't do is walk for you!

We enjoyed a self-guided walk along the Menalon Trail in the unspoilt Arcadia region of the Peloponnese in Greece. We walked along well-signposted ancient paths, passing through many delightful mountain villages. The scenery was richly varied, the hosts at our B&B accommodation were very welcoming, while the local dishes were a daily treat.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

This was our seventh trip with On Foot Holidays. They design the route, provide detailed and easy-to-follow walking instructions, organise all of the accommodation en route, and arrange daily baggage transfers. All we have do is turn up and walk, knowing that we don't need to worry about any aspect of the holiday.
