Classic Slovenia Traveller Reviews

Walking thru Slovenia's Karst to Trieste Italy over five days. Great family run accommodations offering wonderful meals or great recommendations for dinner. Well described routes thru forests, vineyards and villages. A wonderful experience in friendly Slovenia!

on foot Holidays does a great job with their materials and most I importantly with their local support. A local representative is available to assist ; on call to assist as needed. we had the need on this trip for assistance. The response was immediate! We were able to get a lift to our next set-up and enjoy the small town; A potentiality negative and tiring experience turned into a positive.

Fantastic walking holiday, great accommodation, beautiful route, well organised, amazing support, luggage moving worked perfectly. A great experience, friendly people, lovely food and wine, all expertly organised by On Foot Holidays.

Personal service, always helpful and responsive. Could not fault them and this is our second perfect experience with them.

An interesting walk through varied and lovely countryside, sometimes with stupendous views. Slovenia was new to us and its history and mitteleuropean location was fascinating.

Helpful and friendly all the way, from first enquiry onwards.

This was planned pre-covid, but we finally got to do it Sept 2023. The Karst - culture and landscape. Prsut, Teran wine and disappearing rivers in the eastern part of Slovenia. Staying is small farm hotels or B&Bs. Wonderful trails, food, wine, people and views. Pack your bags and head to Slovenia, a real gem.

This is the second time for us with On Foot Holidays and I say they are FANTASTIC. We have used a number of walking holiday vendors and we find On Foot the BEST! Just the right vibe.

It was a 5-day hike through a beautiful Karst countryside in Slovenia. We began in Ljubljana and finished in Trieste staying in small village hotels.

On Foot Holydays provided an outstanding service to us. They were competent, always responsive and friendly. A pleasure to interact with.

Beautiful peaceful walks and great accommodation all planned meticulously by On Goot

Great flexibility and support at all times

This is our second experience of a walking holiday organised by On Foot - if anything this year was even better than last year. The route directions were accurate and gps was a good back up. Accommodation throughout was excellent - friendly hosts everywhere we went.

The On Foot team leave nothing to chance and make the planning and the actually holiday experience a joy.

Slovenia is beautiful. Italy is marvelous. A wonderful walk from mountains, through forests and vineyards, down to the Adriatic Sea. I rarely saw a soul except when passing through villages. Accommodations were clean and comfortable; hosts attentive; and food delicious. I never had to ask; everything was always efficiently done -- room ready, bag waiting; lunch packed. The route notes were accurate and useful. The uploaded GPS maps kept me pointed the right way. The local representative was welcoming and very helpful. Solo travel and a vegan diet were easy. I liked every step. As soon as I got home, I contacted On Foot Holidays and signed up for my next walk.

On Foot Holidays is superb. Dealing with the office was a pleasure -- open and honest about pros and cons; quick to respond to inquires and requests, including evenings and weekends; and thorough with information and instructions. On the ground, the local representative was in touch and helpful throughout, but never intruding. All the logistics went like clockwork. I can't overstate how well they prepare the traveler and how smooth they make the travel.

We started in Ljubljana with a few days in the delightful capital city, then walked across the beautiful Slovenian countryside arriving in Trieste in Italy six days later. The routes were around 15km each day and we stayed in small owner-run hotels, open attached to farm or vineyard. Wine tasting was available at all the locations and we enjoyed locally produced food alongside indigenous wines.

As above

I found walking in Slovenia in the springtime to be gorgeous, the colors in nature are, ironically, almost UN-natural, nearly day-glow green, a feast for the eyes! And the multitude of wildflowers are the stunning sprinkle of color on top. I traversed through various forests, meadows, hillsides and villages, and it was all delightful! The choices On Foot Holidays made with regard to route and accommodations were all superb; I simply loved knowing that every day my only task was to walk, there were no other decisions to make, everything else had been beautifully arranged and executed. I also appreciated that there was some flexibility in the schedule and the amount of walking; I did wear myself out one day(!), but it was easy to make a compensatory adjustment to the following day. This was my first solo walking trip and it was the beautiful and peaceful respite I was seeking. I am 54, female, and on the fluffy-but-active side of life...and I am happy to report that I always felt safe in every way.! My days were filled with sunshine and beautiful vistas,; a sense of accomplishment and adventure; yummy picnic lunches and delicious homemade Slovenian dinners; conversations with interesting people; spectacular castles and caves; and the happy knowledge that there was something new to see, to hear, to taste and to think about, around each corner. It was a most excellent holiday, indeed, and perfectly capped off with a couple of nights in the charming city of Trieste, Italy.

On Foot Holidays was so impressive, from beginning to end! First of all, I don't think they ever sleep...they answered my email questions almost immediately every time! In each instance their communications were informative, helpful, gracious and polite, friendly and encouraging, and special requests for extra days or a change in the order of the route were met with ease and professionalism. I especially loved that I could communicate with someone (or tow!) on staff who had recently traveled the route I wanted to take. Additionally, the packet of information they send out prior to the trip is extraordinary and made my trip run so smoothly, especially combined with the GPS tracks they send out that can be used offline. I can't speak highly enough about how well I was prepared by them for my trip and what a pleasure it was to work with them.
