Dordogne with On Foot Traveller Reviews

We started in Beaulieu sur Dordogne and hiked through, Port de Gagnac, Loubressac, Carennac, Meyronne and Rocamadour. It was very varied, well planned, with many interesting and different things to see each day. The kilometres to hike varied each day and all were great walking.

On Foot Holidays. It was exceptionally well orrganised from being met by taxi at the starting railway station to the taxi taking us to the ending railway station. The hotels were very good, Auberge, Logis and Hotels, with different and very good food at everyone. We were always expected at the overnight stop and welcomed by the hotel staff. Everything worked as plannned. Superb.

Our holiday was perfect from start to finish. We rambled down country lanes, through orchards and vineyards, along grassy farm tracks and uphill through forested trails. We certainly stepped back in time, discovering medieval villages and coming across castles, some in ruins and others completely intact and pristine. We spent our nights in lovely country inns where we were warmly welcomed and able to rest and unwind before setting out the following day. The holiday certainly provided us with the opportunity to explore a part of France that not many Canadian visitors get to see.

On Foot Holidays really contributed to a fabulous holiday experience. They attended meticulously to every detail of the trip, responded promptly to all of our queries, and made us feel at ease travelling in a foreign country. They took care of all hotel reservations, the transfer of luggage between villages, and many of the meals. They provided us with a comprehensive "Walkers' Kit," which included precise directions, regional maps, local information and contact numbers. We would definitely travel with them again, and, in fact, have already visited their website since returning home to see what other walking holidays they have on offer.

The holiday was very nice - it provided us with an opportunity for physical activity and at the same time, to see new places, meet interesting people on the route and to "get away from it all".

My husband and I did several hikes through On Foot Holidays over last 4-5 years and we were always extremely satisfied with their service; particularly with their attention to detail, fast response to our questions and their courtesy. This trip to Dordogne was no exception. We can only say good things about them.

We were walking in the Dordogne - fascinating area, beautiful countryside, a wealth of old footpaths - and we were blessed with perfect autumn weather.

We have taken a number of holidays with On Foot and have found them an excellent company to deal with. Arrangements run smoothly, choice of accommodation and routes always interesting; and we very much value the friendly and helpful personal service we invariably receive.

Walking in the Dordogne area

Very good

This was our first walking holiday, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The scenery was breathtaking, and accommodations were excellent. We also enjoyed the variety of experiences (walking through fields, woods, and towns), and the interesting sights along the way (castles, waterfalls, medieval dwellings). We also liked the challenge of following the detailed instructions.

On Foot representatives were very responsive to our questions and concerns, and provided helpful materials.
