Self-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 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.

You will normally stay in small, family run accommodation and will fortify the inner man as the locals do – with home grown foods and the best local wines. 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.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

On Foot Holidays is the best operator I have experienced yet. It was my third self guided walking tour, and while the two previous operators were fine, On Foot performed to an even higher standard. They obtained excellent acommodations, provided us with an excellent app and were always available and responsive. When we added an extra day to the beginning of the trip at the last moment, they promptly made plans for us with two options of circuit tours and updated our holiday app. Our culinary preferences were accurately conveyed to all hosts and we were updated about ever minor changes of plan as soon as was possible (e.g. a restaurant closure)

This was a bucket list holiday for us and it lived up to our expectations. Such a beautiful area and the hikes were diverse which made it so much better. All had opportunities for incredible vistas and challenged us in different ways. Whether an urban route with LOTS of stairs or out in a forest which was more rugged. Such a great experience.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

We had heard about them through a friend who had used them last year. Very responsive in all our communications and provided good advice about what to expect. Very accommodating as we made a couple adjustments to the accommodations and length of the trip. Provide incredibly detailed info on the trip as a whole and each daily segment, plus a gps app tailored to our specific trip. Several of our friends have already asked who we used.

We had a nine-day walking holiday organised by On Foot with five different hotels and On Foot organising our luggage transfers while we walked between villages. All hotels were amazing.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

From start to finish On Foot Holidays could not have been more helpful. From the very first conversation we knew we wanted to book with them because they were so knowledgable and really cared about what we wanted to get from the holiday. On Foot was so responsive and all communication rapid and clear. We had to postpone our holiday for personal reasons and On Foot arranged that with no additional cost. Cannot praise them highly enough.

Three of us did the self-guided six-day walk along the coast and between hilltop towns (staying in Palazzo Doganna in Agropoli, Il Gentilcore in Castellabate, Il Antico Convento in Roca di Cilento, Il Mulino agriturismo outside of Galdo, and Mareluna in San Marco). The walks were so stunningly beautiful, it was almost hard to believe it was real. The food was delicious (except for the hotel restaurant in Castellabate -- find a restaurant in town). The hotel staff were always nice and helpful. We also added a day at the beginning to visit Paestum, which I highly recommend.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

Very reliable and helpful throughout.

What a gem of a walk. Idyllic England the whole way. Gloriously green rolling hills, drystone walls, grazing sheep, and Medieval country churches. The route successfully steered clear of the region's more trafficked paths. Outside the occasional village, there was scarcely a soul to be seen. The app did a great job of pointing the way and highlighting the sights. The lodging was clean and comfortable; my luggage was waiting; and there were plenty of options to eat well. With its history, architecture, and vibrancy, Bath made for a fascinating end. I spent two additional nights there. This was my fourth walk with On Foot. As always, they made the arrangements with efficiency, thoroughness, clarity, and encouragement. All I had to do was get to the start and walk -- wholly unburdened of worry and want. I enthusiastically recommend the walk and the team.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

As a client, all I had to do was get to the start and walk. In advance, the On Foot team made all the arrangements and updated me as they did. On the walk, the app provided the schedule, walking directions, navigation on a map, background on the sights, identity of the lodgings, and suggested dining options, On Foot's complete reliability and impressive technical achievement made for a great holiday.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

On Foot Holidays did an excellent job curating this walk, from the taxi that picked us up at the train station to take us to the beginning of the walk to the list of hotels that had laundry available to the detours away from the cliffs for those who are scared of hieights. They ALWAYS very promptly answered my emails.

We spent about a week hiking in northern Portugal. We enjoyed the countryside - a combination of farms and more wild mountains. Accommodations were excellent and food was good. Trip logistics were well planned and we encountered excellent hospitality along the way. We enjoyed the quiet of the route (only saw 3 other hikers the whole time).

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

The tour was very well organized with an extensive paper packet and all pertinent daily information available on our phones, including GPS navigation. On Foot Holidays saw to all the details, providing good recommendations for our dinners (even taxi to restaurant one night) as well as including excellent lunches for the trail.

We were a group of 4 Canadian friends, all in our late 60s, who completed the 8 day On Foot walking holiday in Umbria. We have nothing but the highest praise for the experience. Each day's walking was beautiful and different from the one before. We walked through forests, across meadows, past olive groves and vineyards, and occasionally through small towns. All of our accommodations were also varied but uniformly lovely and hosted by friendly and caring people who made us feel very well looked after. We frequently take holidays together and we all agreed that this was one of the best, if not THE best, trip we have done.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

The staff at On Foot were extremely responsive and answered all of our questions. The customer service was outstanding and all the communications we received were thorough, clear, and delivered with warmth...we felt that we were talking to friends rather than to anonymous office staff. Our local contact Daniele was also just exceptional, responding instantly to all of our questions and helping one member of our group find alternate transportation options when she was not feeling well. Overall, we found everyone we dealt with at On Foot to be highly organized, reliable, responsive, and personable.

My husband and I, and our 26 year old twins, spent seven full days hiking in Mallorca. We hiked approximately five-to-six hours per day. The hiking was challenging but the spectacular scenery made up for any discomfort! Our tour operator made all of our lodging arrangements, planned the routes and moved our luggage -- so we only needed carry a day pack.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

On Foot Holidays was our tour operator. It was our first time using this company. They were incredibly helpful and responsive every "step" of the way. We have used one other tour operator and On Foot far exceeded our previous experience. We will absolutely use them again. We met a couple our first day of our hike and this was their 5th trip with On Foot and they also had nothing but good things to say about them.

Six days' walking from the village of La Lastra to Espinama in the foothills of the Picos de Europa. Luggage transfers arranged each day, so we only had to carry our day packs. Stunning scenery, perfect weather and great accommodation made this another perfect holiday through On Foot.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

This was our eighth trip through On Foot Holidays. As ever, they made all the arrangements quickly and efficiently and any queries that we had were answered straight away. Their local contact in Spain was also very proactive and replied very quickly to a couple of questions we raised with him during the trip. As well as the great choice of trips that On Foot offer and the high standard of accommodation, their overall service is second to none - this is a key reason why we've booked so many trips with them.

My daughter and I did this trip the first week of October 2025. The whole experience was incredible, from the little villages, to the lodging and wonderful hosts to the food and finally the weather-it could not have been better. The hikes each day were strenous but shorter options were always available. The information booklet as well as the daily hiking step by step instructions were excellent.

On Foot Holidays was incredibly thorough and professional through every phase of the trip. When we had questions, they were immediately responsive to our needs. Our contact in the area was also very helpful and responsive.

We hiked with OnFoot Holidays on the islands of Naxos and Amorgos. We should have booked extra days to do all the hikes and to have time to take in the local sites. Our hotels were excellent, the support we got from OnFoot lived up to it's reputation for excellence. We ended our hiking vacation with 4 days in Athens, staying at the Academias Hotel. We took a tour of the Acropolis and the Museum with Athens Walking Tours. Couldn't have been happier with the whole experience.

Rating for On Foot Holidays:

This is our third hike with OnFoot. We can't say enough good things about them. From booking the holiday to walking our final hike, they provided all the support we needed. They offer adventure at a real value. This was the first time we used the new app and we found it really helpful, particularly the GPS support for our hikes. They always ask us for feedback so they can continue to improve their vacations. We think they are pretty perfect!

A week of self guided walking in varied beautiful countryside. From coast to coast and in the Cilento national park, stepping back in time to a slower pace and a distinct lack of other tourists. Lovely food, well chosen accommodation and each day bringing new terrain and new pleasures.

I have been walking with On Foot now for nearly 20 years and return to them each time for the consistently good service and the creatively put together routes. Each holiday has been different and each one a great success. Hats off to On Foot.
