La Gomera Traveller Reviews

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.

Fabulous hiking holiday in the Canary Islands. Flew Bournemouth to Tenerife and then took a ferry to La Gomera. Spent 9 nights there in 4 different locations - On Foot holidays booked accommodation and moved our bags whilst we hiked.

Responsive friendly service with really useful local contact on La Gomera.

The unique scenery, vegetation and geology on La Gomera, the reliable climate and the surprisingly good food and wine made this a holiday that more than lived up to our expectations . We were nervous, initially, about the terrain, barely a flat surface, but got into the stride - quite literally and found the walking quite manageable and immensely rewarding. Every valley was different and there were surprises around every corner as each view opened up. And a lot of space for a small island, other hikers came and went but we felt as though we had the place to ourselves much of the time. Thoroughly recommended.

Third time with On Foot and we will definitely be going again, all being well. They are caring, organised, efficient and put together a great offering with a pack of instructions, vouchers and bookings that work on the day…

Arranged a short notice - fancied a few days walking in the sun. On Foot Holidays suggested La Gomera, which suited our needs perfectly. The self-guided tour was tailored to our preferences in terms of daily distance and type of accommodation en route. Perfect weather helped (sun, mid-teens and slight breeze)......... We have taken several holidays with On Foot in various locations - this was one of the best yet.

Helpful and informed staff. Efficient service in terms of communication, assistance, information packs for both the journey to the location and for the walk itself - and a 'local' contact who provided on-the-spot help when required.

This was a self-guided walk around the island of La Gomera in The Canaries. On Foot Holidays book the hotels and provide the maps and walking instructions. All I had to do was decide when to start the walk and how to get to the pick-up point at the airport. On Foot Holidays made all the transfer arrangements so there was no stress. I stayed at each accommodation for two nights then moved onto the next one. I could have had my bag carried from point to point but I like carrying my own stuff!

On Foot Holidays are a friendly and efficient bunch of people. They were always quick to get back to me during the planning phase of the holiday and whilst I was walking I had a local contact if I needed help or advice. I feel that the people in this organisation really cared about my experience; indeed I had one tiny criticism about the transfer company and they have already responded and said they will have a word with them.

We did a 3 day walking tour of La Gomera which was absolutely out of this world. We were blown away by the beauty of the island and the spectacular scenery. It is incredible and completely unspoilt. The walking is tough and they mean it when they say "walking poles essential" but you are rewarded for the hard climbs! The guest houses are basic but clean and work well. I would highly recommend the trip

From the initial enquiry, pre holiday information, the fantastic app and on the ground support were all excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and any questions immediately responded to. I would highly recommend On Foot Holidays they were brilliant & I will definitely be booking more trips in the future.
