Classic Slovenia Traveller Reviews

Me and my wife, both 70+, have enjoyed the OnFootHolidays walks for quite a few years already. This year's walk in Slovenia was not one of the more challenging, but gave us much to remember - beatiful countryside, wonderful people, excellent food and wine.

We think that the concept that OnFoot offers, walking with daypacks only etc, is superior and suites us very fine. They have plenty of alternatives for walks in many countries in Europe. The support they include for our walks is superior, so logistics have been flawless. Also they have always been so helpful and friendly. In short it is both fun and practical to use OnFoot. They have never disappointed us!

A three day walk from Ljubljana, Slovenia, across a limestone plateau to the city of Trieste. Two nights excellent accommodation en route. This was my first experience of a walking holiday provided by an operator and I was travelling alone, so it was important to me to feel well prepared and supported at all stages. On Foot delivered in spades. The itinerary was manageable but sufficiently challenging and navigation was straightforward using the provided notes and GPS tracks.

Communication was excellent at all times. The advertised description was accurate and a good match for my needs, except that I wanted some flexibility around accommodation in the start and destination cities. On Foot were very supportive in helping me meet this objective, even though I was not using their partner hotels. I would not hesitate to recommend On Foot Holidays and was particularly impressed by the positive way that the local contacts spoke of their long-term relationship with the company.

We walked from near Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital, to Trieste in Italy over a period of 5 days, through changing scenery and wildflower meadows, taking in Predjama Castle, a gourmet dinner one evening, wine tasting one day en-route and one day visiting the Skocjan caves (all pre-arranged by On Foot). On Foot arrange a mix of hotels, B&Bs and farms to stay at, some providing dinners with their own home produced food and wine. We carry daypacks during the walks and On Foot arrange for our main luggage to be taken to the next place. We have never been disappointed (except for some iffy weather, which not even On Foot can control!) We are now thinking which of all the tempting routes available we should select for our fifth holiday with them.

On Foot meticulously research each of their European holiday destinations; the walk itself, the local reps and the places you stay at. Really professional firm and nice people too. New routes are being added to their list of choices.

wonderful walking, eating, experiencing Slovenia and Trieste. All connections were made, and accommodation was excellent.

great responsiveness to our needs

We had a wonderful time, we can't stop talking about it, one of the best holidays we have ever had,, we would class ourselves as dog walkers not hikers, so this was perfect for us, but just pushed us out our comfort zone. The route was like stepping back in time, vineyards,churches on gently rolling hills, and no hedges , just open wooded landscapes with no tourists. Our party of four expanded to six after meeting an Australian couple who had got lost,they weren't with on foot holidays! We generally arrived at 3,00 at our accommodation,and after a reviving glass or two of wine, rested before dinner, served early in the evening. Dinner was a highlight with good food good wine and good company, these were days to remember for rest of your life.

Excellent in every possible way, they aren't tour operators, they are personal holiday organisers, nothing is too much trouble. The first morning we couldn't walk because of torrential rain, so were taken to some caves where we spent thee wonderous hours, ,the driver waited until we had finished and then took us back to the start of our walk, all part of the service.

Very enjoyable well organised walk. not too strenuous and not too easy, staying in excellent local accommodation. route faultlessly described. our second walk with On Foot - totally recommend

please see above

We walked from Slovenia to near Trieste through beautiful villages and incredible views, while enjoying local food and wine.

The holiday was extremely well planned and carried out. The people on the ground were very helpful and interesting. We knew that all we had to do was walk and enjoy ourselves, because every single detail was taken care of.

A fabulous 6 days walking from Ljublijana in Slovenia to Trieste in Italy. Everything well organised by On Foot Holidays. Accommodation was of a good standard and the food was excellent. We found the Slovenian people very welcoming and helpful. Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

A very personal service. Always kept us informed throughout the booking process accommodating changes in personnel with no fuss. The holiday was very well organised with local reps very helpful. An excellent holiday.

From our initial booking through to the stress of having to cancel our walk for health reasons then re-booking we received nothing but outstanding, friendly & efficient service from all at On Foot Holidays. The route was well chosen and the notes precise and easy to follow as were the instructions on downloading the GPS software and using it. Our accommodation along the was exactly what we needed and our various hosts comments made it clear that On Foot staff were very familiar with both them and the route. We really appreciated the information supplied with regard to the route, countryside, hosts, local restaurants and sights. We've walked various long distance routes in a number of countries with different companies and On Foot Holidays tops the list. Thank you!

We can't recommend On Foot Holidays enough: they are very knowledgeable with regards to the actual route, the accommodation hosts and their services and also with the various places of interest along the way. They pass on recommendations from their past clients for restaurants, etc. which proved helpful too. Their notes, maps & luggage transfer service are excellent - the best we've had on all walks we've done and, above all, everything was handled efficiently and in a caring, friendly manner. We can find no fault with their service and thoroughly recommend them.
