An amazing eight days walking in Nthn Portugal. We loved that everything had been organised and all we had to do was enjoy a fabulous days walk across diverse and interesting landscape. Breakfasts and picnic lunches were provided so we just headed out the door! When we arrived at our accommodation we were greeted by our host who settled us in and provided information on dinner arrangements. So relaxing!

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

Our tour operators were fantastic. It was the first time we’ve used On Foot and we were impressed with the level of support prior to our holiday and the high level of organisation during. After a couple of days we could tell the holiday had been well planned by professionals.

We love self guided hiking trips, and seeing that Mallorca has great weather in March, we thoroughly enjoyed leaving a wet and cold Seattle. The trails meander up and down on ancient trails, the blue sea is nearly always visible, the hotels and hosts are all very good to excellent, and each village is unique. Our host in Valdemossa suggested several restaurants, and two of them were our favorites over our ten day holiday. Some hosts provide an honor bar, so we could have a cocktail or bottle of wine, and snacks, without leaving the building.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

We can’t say enough about On Foot Holidays, from their prompt communication, Walkers Pack and trail info, help by the local contact, transportation suggestions, and more. It left us without any worries so we could completely relax and enjoy being on holiday!

We travelled by train from Oxford to Barcelona, spending a few days in Paris. Our On Foot Holidays walk commenced in Poblet, west of Barcelona, and headed south and west into the wine-growing area of El Priorat. A superb route for our self-guided walk, with excellent route notes which guided us well. Accomodation and food, including picnics for our walking days, was also excellent.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

On Foot Holidays provided very good information about the route and accomodation on their website. This was backed up by excellent communication by email or by phone. We were able to learn more details of the route from staff who had recently walked the route themselves. Very good maps and route information provided, plus a GPS and map download of the route which was well explained, and worked well. Also helpful and interesting background information re the history of the area, and flora and fauna.

Early April is an excellent time to hike between four distinct villages in Andalucía. Each village was unique in its protective position, either draping a mountain peak or surrounded by verdant cliffs. Between the villages, the self guided hiking trip provides gorgeous views to far flung little white villages, nestled into their landscape. At the end of each long day, we were warmly welcomed to an impeccable inn, and found cold drinks and excellent dining. Our favorite experience was crossing Grazalema Natural Park, an awe inspiring traverse that had us stopping often to take pictures, which could never do it justice, and remark about the colorful spring flowers carpeting the green grass, the remarkable rock formations, and the gentle surrounding hills and peaks.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

This was our eighth trip with On Foot Holidays, and they continually impress us with their personal and professional communication and services. They provide a full package of information, including an excellent Walkers Pack, full of details from local history and culture, to post travel bus and train schedules. Their local contacts have always been very resourceful and friendly. We often remark to fellow walkers of their quality of service, as we know On Foot is superb.

We hiked the spectacular GR221 Dry Stone Route in Mallorca with the support of On Foot Holidays. The route was absolutely beautiful, with stunning scenery, villages, food and landscapes. The hotel selections were wonderful with charming hosts, unique buildings and rooms, and great breakfasts to fuel us for the day ahead - we could not have planned it ourselves so successfully. If there were not so many other hikes on our bucket list, we would certainly do this again.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

This was our first multi-day hiking holiday and our first with On Foot, but already on the second day we were discussing where we could go next with On Foot. Everything worked like clockwork (and our standards are pretty high since we live in Switzerland and „clockwork“ has a certain implication!), so we could just enjoy the route, our hiking, the Spanish food and the spectacular scenery. The communication both before, during and after the holiday has been clear, personal and professional. Our expectations have certainly been exceeded. Many thanks.

I have just finished two back to back walking holidays in three of the less visited Greek Islands, Andros, Naxos, and Amorgos. On each of the three islands we were based in a small town and the walks either took off from the towns directly or were accessed with a local taxi service, which allowed us to experience a diversity of walking venues, and I saw many remote places that I never would have been able to find on my own. I consider myself most fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience the physical and cultural geography of these three islands which remain almost completely unadulterated by 21st century mass tourism.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

Over the past ten years I have done similar walking trips with five other companies, and I consider On Foot to be in a class of its own. The plan of each of the walks I have taken with On Foot has been carefully thought out in conjunction with knowledgeable local people to take the best advantage of the physical and cultural resources of the area, and there has always been a local support person who has been genuinely committed to looking after walkers' needs. The people in the home office have been very conscientious about keeping track of clients' potential logistical problems, and I particularly appreciated their help in helping to unravel the mysteries of Greek ferry schedules.

We had a lovely walk through the Dordogne region of France through OnFootHolidays. The walking had plenty of opportunities to stride out but also had some challenging areas. It turned out that April was a perfect time to walk as the temperatures were cool in the morning and the sun was warm in the afternoon. We saw incredible spring flowering trees, wildflowers, iris and wisteria.

5 days walking point in the wild Ronda mountains in Andalucia with vultures circulating high overhead. Each night resting in a comfortable hotel in one of the beautiful white villages in Grazalema National Park. Finishing in the historic town of Ronda perched high on the hill top looking back at where we had walked.

On Foot Holidays provide a friendly personal service, with well planned routes, and an excellent choice of family style hotels. Nothing is too much trouble; from last minute walking suggestions from their local expert in the area, to booking taxis, or organising dinner. We have used On Foot Holidays many times and would highly recommend them for the complete self guided walking holiday.
