Rhine Valley Traveller Reviews

A multi-day self-guided walking tour along the most beautiful part of the river Rhine. Luggage transfers, routes all included. Some tough walking in hot weather but well worth it!

Very impressive. Engaging from the start, incredibly quick to respond to queries. Provided lots of useful information and tips. Having a local contact was reassuring, although not needed. Would not hesitate to use them again.

We walked along the Rhine River for three days. We got to walk amidst the views river cruisers just watch from the river. Stayed in castles - great accommodations and good food. It was so organized - we just got to get up every morning and walk along trails and through towns with excellent directions and maps, all the while knowing we had reservations at the next place, often in a castle hotel and dinner plans waiting for us as well. It was energizing and relaxing at the same time. Nothing to worry about, just walk and see the sites.

Provided excellent written directions and the GPS app with maps was also very helpful. Plus loads more written information about the area we were walking in and the towns we were walking through. All accommodations and some dining taken care of completely for us. There was also a local guide just a text away in case we needed help.

7 days and 6 nights walk along the Rhine River through the Rhine Gorge from Lorch to Koblenz with hill climbs to magnificent castles and valley descents to ancient towns with regular views of scenic boats, ferries and barges travelling in both directions on the river. Accommodation in small family-owned hotels with outstanding regional food and wine.

On Foot Holidays, based in Salisbury England, provided excellent communication and instructions from the first contact when considering the holiday to our return to Australia. The friendly and prompt service made planning and then enjoying the holiday easy. We will certainly use their services again.

Self guided walking

Very organised,helpful, and supportive

We're just back from a glorious walking holiday along the Rhine River in Germany organized by the superlative team at On Foot Holidays. After hiking between 8 and 10 miles each day, along lovely trails above the endlessly fascinating Rhine, we enjoyed sleeping in accommodations ranging from medieval castles to warmly inviting small inns. A wonderful experience.

From pre-trip planning to trail maps to train schedules to restaurant suggestions, On Foot offers outstanding organization and support.

My holiday was nothing short of incredible. I have done a lot of travel in my life and this experience tops the list. The support, the routes, the lodging, the GPS maps. It was perfect...so great in fact that I am already planning my next holiday with On Foot! I can't recommend this experience enough. It was AWESOME.

All the people with whom I interacted were supportive, responsive, kind and knowledgable. I felt 100% safe and well-informed. As a solo, female traveler it is so important to feel safe so that you can focus on having a fun and joyful experience. This is always a concern for me. From start to finish I felt like I had someone by my side. This was so fantastic.

Great walking holiday on the Rhine. The walks were superb, with super clear instructions (with some fun touches) + back up GPS. Great level of activity, varied, amazing views etc. The accommodation was an excellent mix of styles, and we really enjoyed them all.

Just amazing, sort everything so well, very helpful when arranging, and clearly very thoughtful in the preparation, choice of hosts etc. Couldn't hope for better.

Nine friends joined together to do this hiking trip along the Rhine. We have some prior experience with On Foot and liked the guidance given while letting us do our own daily routes. The weather cooperated (60's F) with only one day of rain. Trails were good and the Pocket Earth App was terrific in keeping us on route (better than the written instructions at times). We definitely added time with stops for lunch and most days some of us (me) would take advantage of using a ferry or train to "shortcut" the total distance but in the end we averaged 8 -12 miles/day.

On Foot did a great job of setting up our trip (Inns, hotels, restaurant options, trail maps, GPS apps, etc) and kept us informed about any changes through our local contact, Bea. She maintained daily contact with our group leader and was very helpful.

Can't fault them. Every detail taken care of, from travel arrangements (including train timetables), walking route (it's impossible to get lost), suggestions for restaurants and the care they've taken in choosing the accommodation. They've really thought about the places you stay eg Burg Liebenstein, where you have your meals surrounded by armour served by delightful staff, whilst looking out on the Rhine. Loads of historical, geographical and nature details also given.

Second great holiday we've done with On Foot. Mallorca was just as good.

I walked along the Rhine, using ferry to cross and walk both sides. Very beautiful and lots of castles and history too.

On Foot holiday organised the hotels, luggage transfers and provided very detailed route notes and background information. They were very friendly and quick to respond. Everything went very smoothly.
