Dordogne with On Foot Traveller Reviews

We spent 5 days walking though rural France near the Dordogne river walkinga though old villages, farmland, fields and woods . We stayed in charming small hotels which were very gracious and the food was delicious

They were very good with details. Appreciated they had a taxi for pickup and return to the train to Paris and most meals were included. I liked not haveing to make meal decisions

It was a 6day walk in the Dordogne valley visiting the very pretty old towns.

On Foot holidays organised everything from our initial pick up in Brive to our return to Brive at the conclusion of the walk. The accommodation selections were great. The taxi, when necessary was on time and drove safely. The walking notes were very detailed and we had no problem along the trail. The local guide was easy to communicate with. On Foot also assisted us with organising an extension to our walk which worked very well.

Walking holiday in the Dordogne area

On Foot Holidays-well organized tour operator with good communications,

Really rewarding walks every day through glorious countryside and pretty, ancient villages and not too arduous for an 80-year-old. We saw very few people en route which was a bonus. The transport arrangements worked perfectly and the local agent was incredibly helpful. The accommodation was excellent, without exception and the food everywhere was spectacular.

Everything worked according to plan. 5 star communication as always. This was our 5th holiday with On Foot and we look forward to planning the next trip in 2024.

On Foot Holidays organized a wonderful and memorable week for the two of us, for our Golden Anniversary trip, in the Dordogne region of France. The hotels they booked were all very comfortable, and the included meals at the hotels were superb. On Foot provided an excellent itinerary, with opportunities to shorten our daily hikes when needed. The route included some of the most beautiful villages imaginable, and, between the villages we walked through a variety of landscapes-- fields, woods, meadows, and country roads. The maps, narrative guides, and GPS tracking, provided the assurance that we were on the right route.

They were efficient and accommodating, responding quickly to any concerns. The advance materials they sent prepared us for our trip with useful tips and excellent personal comments from their local tour organizer. Their service surpassed our expectations.

It was a 5-day walking holiday in the Dordogne, visiting some of the most beautiful villages in the area and walking through varied countryside and farms. The walk was supported with my luggage transported each day and all meals provided. The route was varied and interesting, there were plenty of options to adjust the length of the daily walks, the hotel accommodation was top class, with excellent dinners. I received excellent information and guidance, with a local contact person available if needed.

On Foot Holiday provided excellent service from my first email request for information. Emails were responded to very quickly, the information provided was comprehensive and clear, the support during the walk was responsive and reliable. On Foot Holidays were proactive, noticing and addressing potential problems (such as needing to book a dinner reservation due to a long weekend). I was a solo walker, but felt completely secure with the information and support that was provided.

We did a five day self-guided walking tour in the Dordogne, staying at small hotels in historic medieval villages. The scenery and wildflowers were amazing and we enjoyed being in what felt like remote areas, untouched by crowds and modern life. At night, we enjoyed the comfort of some lovely little hotels and the excellent food offerings of the terroirs in rural France.

The walk and accommodation details were really well-organised. They were always prompt to answer emails and responded thoughtfully and very clearly to any queries we had about the trip. The local contact person made sure to meet us before we started our walk to ensure everything was ok. They were keen to get our feedback to continue to improve the experience.

Equipped with maps, instructions and a GPS app, we ambled through the French countryside near and along the Dordogne, encountering vineyards, waterfalls, limestone cliffs, small towns, quiet churches, cows and sheep with the reward of a well-deserved rest following excellent meals at lovely hotels, each with its unique charm.

On-Foot prepares its clients well, with maps, directions and even a private tutorial on how to work the GPS app. The hotels chosen by On-Foot served fabulous dinners and breakfasts. More importantly, the operators were friendly, making us feel at home wherever we were. Even after our tour was technically over, On-Foot helped us with an upsetting travel complication that occurred on our final day.

We walked for a week in the Dordogne. On Foot planned the route, found beautiful places to stay, tailored everything to our requirements and arranged everything from arriving in France until we left. Hard to beat....

On Foot always offer lovely walking holidays in beautiful places - and this was one of their best. The route was very well planned, and we found ourselves in new places we'd never have found in really lovely hotels. On Foot ensured that the whole holiday was tailored to our needs and our guide Emily was always helpful when we needed her. A memorable holiday!

Walking holiday in France through pristine villages and landscapes. Carefully chosen trails and hotels. All accommodations were extremely clean and staff very courteous. Lots of details provided before the start so we knew what to expect.

The tour operator did an excellent job of providing detailed instructions for the walk as this was not a group activity but an individual trek. Their choices of hotels were excellent. The local resource person was easy to join by phone.
