FIND OUT MORESelf-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.

We chose the 7 night trip with an extra day in Koblenz to finish. The scenery was spectacular, accommodation great in hotels that were all different, some quirky. Walking trails covered a variety of landscapes and gave a sense of achievement at the end of every day. Unexpected moments such as being served Kaffee und Kuchen deep with a forest, and sipping delicious Riesling from a vineyard’s honesty box at the top of a crag; plus delightful towns, friendly people, and good weather meant that This was a wonderful holiday.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
Excellent communication from pre booking to the end of the holiday. When our flights were cancelled, On Foot suggested train and even sent us timetables, which turned out to be a wonderful alternative to flying. Their planning is fantastic, from interesting routes to lovely accommodation and continues throughout when necessary- When climate change and the low river levels meant ferries were cancelled On Foot contacted us straight away with contingency plans. They have developed an app which worked very well and gave us confidence to complete the trail as well as lots of info about the area. This was our first trip with On Foot and definitely won’t be our last. As someone who rarely/never posts reviews I was so impressed that I cannot resist the opportunity to say how good they are!

We started our holiday with two nights in Porto to give us time to explore the city and to sample a couple of its many great restaurants. We then took a bus and a taxi to the village of Soajo, from where we started our five-day walking holiday, which ended at Santa Maria do Bouro. Each day's walk was varied, but the route always passed through spectacular scenery, at times literally breath-taking on the more challenging uphill sections! The accommodation, food, wine and hospitality were excellent, and all our luggage transfers and other arrangements were organised seamlessly. This is a beautiful and unspoilt part of the world, and the people we met there are clearly deeply proud of their heritage.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
This was our tenth holiday with On Foot Holidays, and as always everything was arranged seamlessly from start to finish, with any queries addressed promptly and efficiently. Their service is simply second-to-none and, unlike so many other companies these days, it is truly personal. Even their immediate acknowledgement of our feedback form was a personalised, detailed reply, rather than an automated, standard email that one comes to expect these days. As well as their excellent day-to-day service, they have a great range of routes, always provide lovely accommodation and clearly have a a first-class working relationship with all their local contacts. For the last three holidays, we've also used their Companion App, which includes all the information needed about the holiday, and provides the reassurance of GPS route-finding to ensure we stay on track during the walks.

I have traveled often with On Foot Holidays, and my trip to the Picos de Europa was wonderful. As a female solo traveler, I enjoyed setting out each morning with my detailed walking notes, my camera and poles, and of course, the OnFoot app on phone, with its unerring GPS route all mapped out. I took advantage of several shortening options, which were simple to set up by texting the local contact, who would arrange a ride for me to a closer starting point. And, if I did make a mistake, the app would give me a couple beeps to alert me, and I was able to correct my course. It's a part of Spain I had not seen before and it was beautiful. I also enjoyed the variety of accommodations along the way, with everything from a simple rural inn to a lavish parador at the end.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
I rely on On Foot for a lot: good information ahead of time about what to expect, detailed information about travel to and from the beginning location, the help of a local contact for each route, and so much more. They always reply to any questions and concerns or requests quickly, and I've never been disappointed.

The walking was delightful, long days but good paths. The day that we climbed over 1000m most was through beech woods with a clear path and then wonderful views as we walked along the ridge for the next two days. The accommodation was all excellent with huge amounts of delicious food! Our hosts were always extremely welcoming and the On Foot local representative kept in touch throughout the holiday.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
The web site is clear and the information about the walk difficulty helps us choose exactly what we want to do, to stretch ourselves without overdoing it! The staff are hugely supportive at every stage. The maps, written guide and app all make route finding easy and in addition the booklets of background information add greatly to our enjoyment of the walk.

We did a walking trip through Cilento, Italy, largely along the coast but with one stretch inland and then added, at the tour operator's suggestion, a day at Paestum, a UNESCO site I think, with three stunning Greek temples and some rather glorious artifacts in the related museum. The walk itself was wonderful, with one beautiful view after another, a varied terrain, a number of points of special interest (historical, mythical, cultural), and then OnFoot's characteristically well-chosen B&Bs or hotels. The trip/walk materials were detailed and perfect so that every connection we made worked easily and smoothly. It was a vacation where you never worried, you just enjoyed every dimension. Thank you OnFoot!
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
My husband and I stumbled on OnFoot a year or two before COVID and immediately became loyal fans. The preparation they do so that every aspect of the trips work is really impressive. We never get lost (although we've had to give guidance to other walkers whose walking directions were not so detailed) and have been almost always delighted with the places they choose for us to overnight. You just feel like they are always there if you need them even though you probably will never require assistance because the walk materials are so comprehensive, practical and easy to navigate.

We had a wonderful walk in Portugal. So little has changed in this part of Portugal that it was like going back in time. The best part was the people.

A self-guided walking holiday in Northern Spain was a wonderful experience. The booking process and support from On Foot Holidays, especially with a local contact in Spain, were outstanding. The accommodations and walking routes were excellent, matching exactly what we had been led to expect. The area was beautiful, with unspoiled rural lifestyles still evident, and the bird watching was of a high standard. The weather was great, making the whole trip fantastic.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
We’ve used On Foot Holidays many times because they offer such a personal, friendly service. For example, we’ve often asked to deviate from the advertised routes or holidays, and they’ve always provided great alternatives or helpful advice on accommodation and travel options, which we’ve found incredibly useful. We’ll definitely book with them again.

We loved our hiking in Andros. The routes instructions were clear and the app made following the trail so simple. The recommendations for dinners and bars along the routes were helpful and welcome.

Superbly curated walk from Charismatic Hotel to Hotel along the ridge above the Ribeira Sacra . A six night with 5 day walk of moderate difficulty.

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
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
We have travelled with OnFoot holidays several times previously and would continue to do so in the future.
