La Gomera Traveller Reviews

Four of us friends went to La Gomera in a calling holiday with On Foot Holidays in March. The whole holiday was a glorious adventure from the ferry from Tenerife, to the wonderful unspoilt views, excellent laid out routes, super food and hotels and of course very friendly people.

They certainly went the extra mile. Nothing too much trouble. They were very knowledgeable in fact one of their staff (Mary) had only just come back from La Gomera so gave us great information. The booking process was easy and I have to say their new app made it sooooo much say from all the information in one place to route guidance which kept us on track (we would have got lost with out it for sure!)

A walking holiday on the island of La Gomera. Transfers, ferries, accommodation arranged, luggage transferred for us and all walking routes provided in detail by On Foot Holidays so we could just enjoy the wonderful routes, stunning scenery and varied landscape of the island.

Communication was brilliant throughout both with the UK office and the local agent, who was really helpful and checked in with us daily to make sure we had everything we needed . Walking info was very comprehensive and detailed. Great to deal with really nice, professional people who answer their phones and emails immediately!

Point point walking with luggage transfers mostly basic/good hotels and food but the scenery was unbelievable

On foot holidays, very individual approach with excellent back up on the walk

Seven days on the island of Gomera, walking for a tipotal of six days. Sel guided but tour operator provided comprehensive maps and route notes as well as a phone app.

On foot holidays were very organised and communicated effectively throughout. We felt totally supported.

La Gomera is truly a captivating island of beautiful and unexpected landscapes, in terms of the vegetation and volcanic landforms, as we journeyed on foot each day. Early March was perfect weather wise for walking, and we were glad to be mostly well above sea level and to be able to benefit from the cooling breeze. The walks were very well planned, both challenging and rewarding, and we were pleased that the hotels and restaurants we visited were genuine local family businesses. We did get a real appreciation of this very special Canarian gem. The people were so friendly and helpful, the hotels spotlessly clean and we enjoyed tucking into good hearty portions of local dishes in the evenings.

Onfoot Holidays and our local whats app guide contact were excellent at every stage. They really know what they are doing and their admin is always first class; so prompt and efficient.

We had a wonderful time walking around La Gomera. On Foot Holidays took care of all the arrangements - even including making dinner reservations for us - leaving us free to enjoy our stunning walk.

On Foot Holidays provide a consistently efficient, friendly and highly professional level of service. We have found this to be the case every time we have used them.

Self-guided walking, 4 hotlels,1 piece of luggage per person moved to the next hotel

We had a very helpful local representative Aznar, who was contactable via WhatsApp. He made 3 restaurant recommendations and reservations for us which really made a difference to our holiday. Aznar also helpfully offered advice about when to use the taxi that was transferring our luggage to travel part of the way and shorten our day’s walk. On Foot provided us with comprehensive maps, and detailed instructions for the walks. Plus there was an app which I downloaded onto my phone.

A lot thought had gone into the choice of route making this a brilliant walking holiday. The vegetation and terrain were very varied. The supporting app made route-finding simple, even when it was so windy that checking a map would have been well-nigh impossible.

Unfailingly helpful - making the whole experience enjoyable from choosing the holiday to its completion

On Foot are a brilliant team who always give personal service. This was a 10 day holiday to La Gomera, full of fantastic scenery and lovely hotels. They have a real talent for finding excellent quality 3 and 4 star hotels with character, like Hotel Anaterve in Vallehermoso, or the Parador de San Sebastien de la Gomera. Their walking notes are easy to follow and very comprehensive. Crucially, they always offer opportunities to shorten the routes to 3 or 4 hours as well as providing longer walks. Their local contact was really helpful with recommending and booking restaurants and with organising our transfers. On Foot holidays are always a delight - great walks in wonderful locations - and La Gomera was no exception.

Very flexible, interested in what we wanted, expert in their offerings. Tailor made the holiday to fit us. Always very friendly.

We decided on our On Foot holiday to La Gomera after reading a review in The Times last year. The whole experience from initial contact to support during out holiday was outstanding. The support materials provided, accommodation bookings, travel arrangements and daily contact with On Foot was absolutely fantastic.

On Foot go out of their way to provide personal friendly professional support in a way which allowed us to feel very independent
