Our Testimonials
Customer Feedback
Below is a selection of general feedback submitted to us.
Amalfi Coast
"What a wonderful holiday. We've done many long distance walks and usually arranged these ourselves, but we will definitely be using On Foot again. The hotels were really good and, in the case of Tramonto d'Oro and Le Tore, excellent. Great maps and information packs and a well plotted route with balanced days. Luggage where it should be. On Foot made it easy. Glad we did not need to use it, but we appreciated having a local contact on hand. Thank you."
Denise Todd, Ponteland, UK, 25/06/18
Galicia - Lighthouse Way
"From start to finish On Foot's service and support was first class."
Richard Leane, Edgeware, UK, 17/05/18
Amalfi Coast
"We used On Foot Holidays for the first time for our honeymoon, and had the best time. We had never done a trip organized through a company, and we were pleasantly surprised. On Foot Holidays does the behind-the-scenes work and gives you the tools you need to have a seamless experience, but otherwise, you are adventuring on your own without a guide or a group, which is exactly what we wanted. On Foot Holidays did an excellent job at allowing us to get away from tourist traps and have a local and authentic experience. We are already planning our next trip!"
Emiline and Patrick Cairncross, San Diego, USA, 19/04/18
The island of Andros
"I found the staff extremely accommodating and understanding, initially suggesting the best plan to accommodate our time frame and flights. When we had a hiccup with our booked flights, they reorganised our trip to fit in with the new flights."
Paul and Tracey Lindstrom, Brisbane, Australia, 28/11/17
Camino Primitivo de Santiago
"I can't fault On Foot; from the moment I requested the mini brochure right through to sending emails while on holiday, the service was always speedy and questions answered in full. I felt supported throughout."
Lisa Weatherall, Chesterfield, 02/11/17
Alpes Maritimes
"From our initial enquiry about this holiday to arriving home, we have found everything you have advised, provided, suggested, to be an excellent service."
Julian Ellis, Carmarthenshire, 10/07/17

Our walking tour took us through lovely countryside, interesting old villages and beautiful coastal areas. All of our lodgings were very good or excellent. The daily trail directions were not difficult at all to follow but having a cell phone with a compass app is or a compass is a must. Several times we took the shorter options which the directions offer. This is the third walking holiday we have done with On Foot and we heartily recommend them.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 day walking holiday. We had 2 nights and 1 full day in Corfu which gave us the opportunity to see the old town and fort before taking the ferry across to the mainland. On Foot provided us with excellent travel information, so we were able to get the ferry and bus with no problems and were then met by pre-arranged taxi to take us to the Zagori mountain region for our walk. On Foot booked all the accommodation for us, which was comfortable and we were warmly welcomed at each place. We enjoyed staying at small B+Bs in the mountains, which gave us a flavour of the real Greece. Our luggage was moved for us, so was safely awaiting our arrival at each of the B+Bs we stayed in. The walking descriptions provided made it easy to follow the route (we walked on our own), and we were able to enjoy the stunning scenery in the knowledge that all the details had been attended to, and all we had to do was relax and enjoy the walk.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
We have now booked 8 holidays with On Foot, and have our 9th one booked already for next year! That must surely tell you how much we value the support, attention to detail, and personal touches provided by On Foot. They will go above and beyond - this time helping with a request to provide a surprise birthday treat for a birthday which fell during the holiday. Having exchanged many e-mails and phone calls over the years, we decided to visit the On Foot office this year - it felt like meeting friends. We would not hesitate to recommend On Foot to anyone who likes walking in unspoiled countryside.

A week's walking holiday where accommodation was found along the route, walks were prepared for us, and our luggage was transported to each overnight stay. The walks were superb with wonderful views, suitable and well set out, the accommodation was excellent, lively resorts and the weather was so good in October that we swam in the Med most days.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
We have used 'On Foot' for the last 6 or 7 years. They provide the type of holiday we enjoy. They give friendly and personal help and advice when we initially contact them about a particular holiday, at least one of the staff will have walked the routes and stayed in the accommodation they offer. They organise any extras we require, like taxis transport to and from the airport, and have local personnel in the area that we can contact if we have any problems when we are abroad. They provide a personal service and we always feel we are in safe hands!

Independent walking holiday in northern Provence, staying at a range of hotels, each with its own distinct character but all welcoming and comfortable and all located in or close to villages which more than demanded exploration.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
The quality of support information was first class. In addition, On Foot were patient and helpful with making a number of tweaks that we'd hoped might be possible from the standard itinerary for this holiday: these greatly enhanced our enjoyment of the holiday.

Our 3-day hike through northern Portugal brought a sense of awe and wonder like no other. The countryside was amazing, the people warm and friendly. The weather was perfect (early October) for spending the day outside.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
On Foot Holidays answered all our questions immediately and completely as we prepared for our trip. And we didn't have that many questions because their up-front communication was so good. Every detail of our trip was attended to - we did not have to worry about a thing. The accommodations were lovely. Each place gave us a unique insight into the villages we visited. On Foot is a 5-star organization.

We did an On Foot self-guided walking holiday in Northern Portugal. The walk took us along a Roman road through the Parque Nacional da Peneda-Geres, in the north east corner of Portugal . We did the shorter version of the walk which was over three days (four nights) starting in Brufe and ending at Santa Maria do Bouro. There was a huge variety of scenery which included long vistas down to colourful valleys with mountain peaks in the distance, boulders the size of houses, mountain streams and wooded glades. Accommodation included a converted stone cottage with a traditional Portuguese bread oven inside, a village albergia (basic hotel stop over), a quinta (small chateau), and the superbly comfortable Pousada at Santa Maria do Bouro which had been built from the ruins of a 13th century monastery. Walking was relatively easy with cumulative climbs each day of around 400 metres and daily distances ranging from 11km to 21km. We were extremely lucky with the weather which was 25 degrees or above every day; we were told that this was much hotter than usual for late October in northern Portugal. Overall, we could not have hoped for a better introduction to self-guided walking.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
On Foot gave us a very personal service from the beginning. After our initial inquiry it took them 2 to 3 days to confirm that the accommodation would be available for the dates we wanted to go. We were sent a very informative pack which included ways of getting to and from the airport at the beginning and end of the walk, our itinerary, detailed notes and maps for each day's walking, a description of the area we would be walking in, and name and phone number of a local contact if we needed any help when we were away. We were also sent a link to the GPS system that On Foot use with maps for our three days walking pre-loaded on the system. Whenever we contacted On Foot, we got through to a person who knew all about our booking and we were phoned by On Foot the day before we travelled to check that there was nothing we were uncertain about. There were no hitches at all on the holiday - all owners of accommodation expected us, pre-booked taxis met us, luggage transfers worked seamlessly and route maps took us where we needed to go - and we had the comfort of knowing there was a local contact even though in practice we did not need to contact him.

A group of friends spent 4 days walking in Yorkshire enjoying good weather, lovely scenery, a varied landscape, and even salmon leaping. We had great food and good accommodation. We had a unique experience with our needs very well met.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
They were excellent. When booking, they listened to our particular requirements, responded in a quick, friendly and positive way, thinking of good solutions for those joining us late or leaving early and they did all the extra work. The accommodation met our specific needs and we were provided with detailed walk instructions for every day as well as maps. We were well supported every day, with texts and calls to make sure we had all that we needed to make the most of our holiday. And they went the extra mile, for example, we were reunited with some clothing left behind before we had even missed it.

Me and my wife, both 70+, have enjoyed the OnFootHolidays walks for quite a few years already. This year's walk in Slovenia was not one of the more challenging, but gave us much to remember - beatiful countryside, wonderful people, excellent food and wine.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
We think that the concept that OnFoot offers, walking with daypacks only etc, is superior and suites us very fine. They have plenty of alternatives for walks in many countries in Europe. The support they include for our walks is superior, so logistics have been flawless. Also they have always been so helpful and friendly. In short it is both fun and practical to use OnFoot. They have never disappointed us!

Six of us had an excellent walking holiday in September, organised by On Foot Holidays. We spent 7 nights on a linear walk along the Lighthouse Way in Galicia, Northern Spain. It was a unique walk through magnificent coastal scenery. Some of the walking was quite challenging, but it was always very exhilarating to walk along the cliffs and across wonderful sandy beaches. The little towns/villages where we overnighted all had their own character.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
On Foot Holidays' organisation was impeccable. They provided very comprehensive Walkers’ Packs, detailed instructions and good maps, as well as helpful hints about which beaches were safe. The accommodation was excellent and we had the daily support through On Foot Holidays of a Spanish contact who knew the walk and gave us daily weather reports and other useful information - a service we have never before encountered with a walking tour provider.
