La Gomera Traveller Reviews

A seven day self-guided walking holiday on La Gomera. Stunning views and fascinating landscape. Luggage transported for us and comfortable, clean accommodation.

We have used On Foot for several years. Their itineraries always seem to get the balance right between length of walk and difficulty. Clear instructions, good accommodation and helpful local rep. Food and wine are important too and On Foot get that!

Wearing many layers in foggy cloud forest down to arid desert garden areas...and back up again! Very diverse and fascinating walk in a lovely, uncrowded and magical island. Finished with a stay in the historical and elegant Parador hotel in San Sebastian. Every detail was meticulously covered by On Foot Holidays -- from walking route notes to inns to meals and transport. A very enjoyable and wonderful getaway!

Always ready to help, the good folks at On Foot Holidays are walkers themselves and love travel and adventure and their love for that really shines through when they plan holidays for others. I know we are always safe and in good hands with them.

I went for a week to La Gomera hiking with my 20 year old son. We had a lovely time.

They were well organised, attentive and excellent at problem solving. I felt safe and cared for from the moment I booked the holiday until the moment I landed back home.

We wanted a challenging hiking break with a couple of days relaxing at the end, which is exactly what we got.

Very responsive, knowledgeable and helpful. Local contact was excellent.

Good combination of a walking on day and a stay local day in each of the village bases. Fantastic sense of achievement, with some big climbs and walking up to, and over the top of, the island. Really interesting scenery, and walking routes.

Very well organised, with thorough notes and guidance. A much more personal feel than some of the bigger walking holiday companies. The On Foot holidays app, with linked GPX files was a great help, as was having a local contact to sort out any queries.

Excellent holiday - well organised, good accommodation, lovely walking.

On Foot Holidays organised a really wonderful break in the Canary Islands - 3 days of walking in the volcanic landscape of La Gomera. All accommodation booked & organised. Route directions & GPS tracks provided, and a local guide contactable by WhatsApp.

This was our 8th self-guided walking trip with On Foot Holidays. We flew to Tenerife then caught a ferry to La Gomera, our base for the week. The walking was superb, following carefully planned routes through stunning, unspoilt mountainous scenery around the island. The accommodation en route was excellent, and the hosts very welcoming.

On Foot Holidays provided excellent route maps and detailed notes, so getting lost was not a problem. A local route adviser was always available by phone to give assistance, provide weather forecasts or to book restaurants. Overall, On Foot Holidays provide excellent customer service, from original booking right through to returning home.

We flew to Tenerife and then caught the ferry to La Gomera. We then spent 6 days walking around the island with its amazing varied landscape. We stayed in 4 different locations on La Gomera ending with a rest day in San Sebastian.

We have now done three walking holidays with On Foot Holidays and I can't fault them for anything! Their communication with you and the information they provide is superb; from an initial phone call to discuss a route to detailed information on every aspect of your holiday to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

This was our 11th holiday with On Foot, and definitely up there with the best. Fascinating and varied landscapes on the volcanic island. The cloud forest was unique. The walking was on good paths. some challenging uphills, but with options to miss those if you wish. Lovely hotels with excellent breakfasts, and a mix of restaurants to try in the evenings. A couple of nights in the Parador in San Sebastián at the end of the walk was the perfect finish. Aznar, the local coordinator for the walk couldn't be more helpful. On Foot now have a new App with all the maps and information for the walk. There really isn't any excuse for taking a wrong turning!

We always look forward to our holidays with On Foot. We are so well looked after from booking through to the trip home. The whole team is great to deal with. Advice and recommendations are always to hand, and we have learnt will always be honest and trustworthy. Their new App which contains all the information for the holiday as well as the maps and navigation guidance will be a great asset when it is rolled out to other routes.

A 7 day walking holiday in La Gomer, the scenery and walking was unrivalled, couple with fantastic organisation, accommodation, and food this was a holiday to truly treasure.

On Foot Holidays' organisation was faultless, and with a local contact to ensure everything was ok every step of the way.
