Our Testimonials
Customer Feedback
Below is a selection of general feedback submitted to us.
Galicia - Lighthouse Way
"I just loved having the whole thing organised - I know that's the idea but it was our first experience of this kind of holiday! I found all the team at On Foot from my first tentative enquiry through the email prior to holiday very helpful, personable and prompt. The walkers pack with maps and info was comprehensive and accurate. All transfers of us and baggage were faultless so made the whole experience relaxed.
Carey Mills, Brighton, UK - September 2019
Galicia - Lighthouse Way
"We were so impressed by the professionalism and seamless organization of this walking holiday. In particular, it was lovely to hear from all your partners on the ground (taxi drivers, hotels etc) how much they enjoy working with your company."
Ruth MacKay, Toronto, Canada - September 2019
Southern Tuscany
"We like to hike. We liked the idea of being self-guided instead of with a group. But, until we found On Foot, it seemed too daunting to us to try to plan a hike in a foreign country. We needed On Foot's support and concierge services to take our dream and turn it into a wonderful, relaxing, luxurious vacation."
Heather Amsden, Newton, USA - September 2019
Naxos and Amorgos
"As we've come to expect from On Foot, the service was first rate."
Elizabeth Johnson, Chester, UK - September 2019
Dolomites
"This is our fifth On Foot Holiday! We are very happy with your service, routes, and value. I think I most appreciate how quickly you respond (and how thoroughly) to each and every concern."

We walked the Camino Primitivo from Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela. We had a great time. It was a great opportunity to really get to know this area of Spain. The opportunity to interact with local people, experience local foods and customs was priceless.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
On Foot Holidays was great. They provided us with everything we needed to be fully prepared for our walk. The combination of pre walk information and tools that we could use while on the walk were perfect. The local support was a great addition to the other resources. The local knowledge and experience was invaluable to our trip. We recommend On Foot Holidays without reservation.

We walked along the Atlantic coast in Spain, the Camino de Morte!!? It was staggeringly beautiful, remote, unspoilt. There were 11 of us(all women, all in our ‘silver’years). We’ve walked all over together and the Lighthouse Way is definitely one of the best. The hotels were brilliant, better than we expected and the food, especially sea food , was staggeringly good, probably the freshest fish we’ve ever had. Finishing at Finisterre, the end of the world, was a high moment. We laughed, drank, ate, walked in the sun in fantastic scenery, what more can you ask for?
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
They help you plan, what is, a perfect holiday for you. Tailor made to comfort level. We like knowing they are there for back up if anything goes wrong. And it did, they sorted problems in minutes ( literally) . They are soooo friendly on the phone, I feel as though I know them. They’ve been to where we go, checking and looking at venues and routes. They KNOW their business which fills me with confidence. There is no comparison to other companies, they are the best.

Hiking through southern Tuscany with On Foot Holidays was a wonderful way to see and experience Italy. The beautiful scenery and delicious food combination was perfect. We loved the small towns and walking through vineyards, fields and woods. Walking from village to village provides time to truly experience the landscape and culture of Tuscany.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
On Foot Holidays did a fantastic job from start to finish. From the first email through booking everything was effortless. The details of the trip, travel logistics, maps and navigation were all very clear. The route itself was the highlight. We loved the trails, towns and vistas. The hotel bookings and luggage transport all happened seamlessly. We loved the idea of a self-guided tour and On Foot made it so easy. This was a wonderful way to travel! We plan to book another trip through On Foot Holidays next year.

We spent 6 days walking in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains and 3 days in Palma. It was a fabulous trip, with great walking options every day to either extend or shorten the route. All hotels were excellent and the hosts friendly and helpful.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
On Foot Holidays were helpful from the outset, answering all our questions, providing excellent walking notes, ringing us beforehand and whilst we were away to check we were happy with arrangements. Everything went according to plan, we will definitely use them again for this type of trip. Very impressed

This walk was one of three adventures we planned in Europe over October - walking the Amalfi coastline, bike riding southwest Portugal and sea kayaking around Menorca Island. It was a good time to visit outside the main tourism season. The Amalfi walk was a great way to experience the local nature and culture at a slower pace.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
The professional advice and service of On Foot Holidays was exceptional - well planned and accurate information, good maps, helpful advice about trip planning, what to see and places to eat. They have carefully chosen good quality accommodation that is generally located away from the high tourist visited streets within the small coastal towns.

We just finished a 6-day independent hike in Andalucia Spain supported by On Foot Holidays. They arranged our lodging, gave us detailed trail descriptions including a GPS file to help us navigate, and moved our luggage from inn to inn. The inns were all very comfortable and all of the logistics of our trip were handled without any problems.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
We are already looking for another hiking trip sponsored by On Foot Holidays. The attention we got before the trip and the arrangements they made for our lodging, breakfasts, lunches, and luggage transfer were flawless.

Seven day holiday with six days of walks through the mountains of south west Mallorca. Walks, transport of luggage and accommodation all organised by our tour company. Well chosen walks with options for easier days, excellent varied accommodation. Always with useful information about the areas we walk through and what to do and where to eat at each night's destination.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:

A walk through magnificent scenery - one especially memorable day climbing up on to a ridge from Ordunte Reservoir to La Matanza. Accommodation was always clean, comfortable and welcoming, three of the selection particularly charming and characterful in very different ways. Some wonderful Basque dinners were included in the itinerary. And the chance to sample the delights of Bilbao at either end of the trip.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
This was our fourth trip with On Foot Holidays. As before, they were superbly efficient, with very personal service. Walking notes and maps were spot on; and the ability to use their GPS files was very reassuring on the (rare) occasions when we were in slight doubt. The local agent was in daily contact, giving us very helpful up-to-date advice.

1 late autumn week in Naxos and Amorgos, walking routes with notes and maps provided by On Foot Holidays. Wonderful accommodation and friendly staff. Excellent food (a treat for vegetarians). Excellent swimming opportunities from quiet beaches. Wonderful landscapes and sightseeing.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
On Foot Holidays - from the first contact with queries about a holiday, the staff are helpful and friendly. They know their business, know their local contacts, and have an eye for detail. (For example, they had kept an eye on the local ferry timetables, keeping us informed of changes right up to the last minute).

Hike among lighthouses on the Galician Coast of Death that combined beautiful scenery with an absence of humanity - it was perfect! We were fortunate to have spectacular weather so we were able to hike in an area where the weather can be very dramatic and drenching. Each day we could customize the length of our hike and that was a great perk.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
Responses to inquiries were complete, accurate, and prompt. All materials arrived as promised. The details for each day were correct. We took advantage of the ability to use taxis to shorten some challenging days. Accommodations were as promised. We were in daily touch with local contact and he was helpful and responsive.

This was a terrific trip along the Rhine River in Germany, through forests, fields, vineyards and charming villages. The river was nearly always in view and it was fascinating to learn about shipping on the Rhine, as well as the architecture and history of the towns through which we walked. The accommodations were varied but comfortable. It was fun to eat traditional German foods, and try out the local beers and wines.
Rating for On Foot Holidays:
The route notes for this self-guided waking trip were excellent. The hotels gave us a warm welcome as "On Foot" guests and our luggage was always there. On Foot provided good recommendations for lunches and dinners as well as suggestions for visiting various sites along the way. On Foot provided us with many helpful tools, such as train and ferry schedules for the route as well as for getting to and from the airport. I had a few questions prior to the trip which were answered promptly and completely. I like that On Foot provides a local contact who can help if there is a problem or just a simple question like where to eat. This was our third trip with On Foot and we will definitely plan a fourth.
