Reviews of Amalfi Coast with On Foot
Amalfi
It was a walking trip of the Amalfi Coast. We walk ed "Path of the Gods" and it was truly spectacular but not for the amateur hiker.

Rating for tour operator:The tour was extremely well organized.
Completely successful
We had been worried that it might all have been too much for us: one of us in midseventies and the other midsixties. However there was sound and accurate information about the degree of difficulty to be faced each day with mitigating alternative routes suggested.

We had been worried that it might all have been too much for us: one of us in midseventies and the other midsixties. However there was sound and accurate information about the degree of difficulty to be faced each day with mitigating alternative routes suggested. The hotels were friendly and our info package provided many suggestions for really good restaurants. I am sure we saw many extraordinary things in Amalfi which few visitors ever have a chance to see. The trip could not have been organized more effectively
Rating for tour operator:Onfoot Holidays did a thorough job of briefing us and it was a pleasure to deal with them. The route software which they provided and which we downloaded into our Iphone GPS system was very helpful from time if we wanted to be sure we were following the route properly.
Amalfi Coast Walk
We did the Amalfi Coast Walk - organised by On Foot Holidays. The walk started in Amalfi and we did various local walks and then along the coast to Praiano, Positano , Sant Agata and finishing in Sorrento. On Foot organised all the hotels, baggage transfers and provided maps and walking guides for each day. Everything was professionally organised, no hiccups , hotels knew we were coming and our baggage was collected each day and arrived in the ...

On Foot organised all the hotels, baggage transfers and provided maps and walking guides for each day. Everything was professionally organised, no hiccups , hotels knew we were coming and our baggage was collected each day and arrived in the room that day in the next place. We were not experienced hikers although we have done a lot of walking so we were pleased to have the maps and to be taken to places and areas that the normal tourist wouldn't know. We chatted to locals in their houses, walked through olive groves, climbed steeped terraces and experienced spectacular views. The weather was amazing. We felt energised with all the new smells, sounds and experiences and can't wait to do another. OnFoot were really great- very professional and friendly. To sum up - we would sit at the end of a long walking day looking out over Amalfi harbour with a lovely glass of local wine , then look up the escarpment and think - we climbed that today!

Rating for tour operator:Our vacation organized by On Foot Holidays was everything I had hoped for and more. We had an absolutely fantastic trip and within 24 hrs of arriving home from Italy I was on On Foot's website looking to see where we could go next. We were extremely happy with the route notes, the luggage transfers, the support, and most importantly, the accommodations. Initially we weren't quite sure what to make of On Foot Holidays because no one we knew had ever heard of them (we live in the U.S.); we only came across them after a Google search, but from our first inquiry through countless others, On Foot was friendly and responsive and it was clear they stood behind their product.
Thanks Elise - particularly for putting your trust in a company no-one has heard of!
Best holiday I can remember
On Foot set us up with a 'tailored' version of their Amalfi Coast route, and gave us considerate and realistic advice on how to get the best from every day. Early flight to Naples; easy bus to Salerno; spectacular ferry to Amalfi; wonderful walks to Ravello, Praiano, Positano, Sant'Agata, Sorrento; educational visit to Ercolano. Friendly and comfortable hotels at every stage.

Rating for tour operator:The people at On Foot are a team of happy and experienced walkers themselves. They listen carefully to the client's wishes, offer creative advice, and keep their promises. The On Foot maps and guides are the best I have ever encountered.
Blissful week on the Amalfi Coast
Our holiday (organised by OnFoot) exceeded our expectations. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The hotels were lovely and well located, our bags always arrived before us, the route notes were clear but above everything else the itinerary was perfect.

Rating for tour operator:The staff at OnFoot Holidays have been consistently efficient, friendly and helpful. We intend to do another walking tour next year and would not consider using any other operator.
Amalfi Coast Walks to Remember
Starting with three nights in Amalfi at the incomparably-located Hotel Luna Convento, our walking holiday was a very special blend of exercise, sight-seeing, eating and relaxing. On Foot Holidays provided easy to follow written instructions of the highest detail along with appropriately scaled daily route maps. All of our hotel check-ins and transfers went smoothly as arranged. The opportunity to stay one night at an agriturismo was a welcome ...
Starting with three nights in Amalfi at the incomparably-located Hotel Luna Convento, our walking holiday was a very special blend of exercise, sight-seeing, eating and relaxing. On Foot Holidays provided easy to follow written instructions of the highest detail along with appropriately scaled daily route maps. All of our hotel check-ins and transfers went smoothly as arranged. The opportunity to stay one night at an agriturismo was a welcome relief from the busy towns and restaurants. We'd definitely recommend this trip to friends who enjoy exploring their holiday destinations on foot!
Rating for tour operator:We found On Foot Holidays via a web search for Amalfi Coast walking holidays. Their package prices were appealing to us, as were their traveller services and recommendations from past clients. Through small-world circumstances, a representative of On Foot Holidays was actually able to deliver our travel package containing maps, route info and guide books personally to our home in Canada. We customized our trip with extra nights and an upgraded hotel which On Foot happily accommodated with several pleasant back and forth emails, including helpful suggestions. Our trip started off stressfully when our luggage went missing in Rome and we were without our proper walking attire for 4 days. The local contact was incredibly supportive and kept in touch via email to us, and by phone to our hotels and the airline, constantly searching for updates and providing suggestions on where to find appropriate clothing and footwear. We would not hesitate to book another vacation with On Foot Holidays.
Great walking experience and superb scenery
We booked the 7 day Amalfi to Sorrento walking holiday (self guided)and interspersed it with 5 rest days with some in the middle and a couple of days extra in Sorrento at the end. The hotels were very good, central and often with good views or lovely roof terraces to enjoy at the end of the day. The walking was very interesting, scenic and varied. At the beginning there were lots of steps to walk with less so on the last few days, so need ...

At the beginning there were lots of steps to walk with less so on the last few days, so need to be prepared for that. We combined the walking with a couple of beach days and a boat trip to Capri, visit to Pompeii and Herculaneum and Vesuvius which made it a very varied holiday.
Rating for tour operator:On Foot Holidays (we dealt with Mary) were excellent. They were very professional, prompt with organisation, patient with my different and individual requests to change the itinerary. The paperwork, maps and information was very good, together with up to date bus timetables for the areas and useful local information. The route directions were typed in large type so glasses were not necessary and although nothing went wrong, we felt if it had, they would have sorted it with no problem. Our local taxi driver for airport transfer was friendly and efficient, so we used him for a private car to get round Pompeii and Herculaneum and Vesuvius all on one day which the larger tours don't do. We would definitely use them again.
great unguided walking in a beautiful environment
the walk ws everything and more than we expected. The environment was beautiful and varied, the walk was challenging, the weather was perfect for walking, the accommodation was very good,and the real plus for we 67 year olds was the fact that we didn't have to carry a heavy pack.

Rating for tour operator:'On Foot' were excellent from the time we first made enquiries about the walk until the time we departed on our holiday They followed up all questions quickly and courteously and were happy to make any adjustments we requested in regard to accommodation A very comprehensive walker's pack was provided and it was reassuring knowing that a local contact was at the end of a phone call should we have needed assistance We would definitely use them again and recommend them to others
