Mallorca: Serra de Tramuntana Traveller Reviews

A lovely week of self-guided walking through the Serra de Tramuntana, staying at unique hotels en route enjoying local food and wine, while our luggage was taken care of every day. Everything ran like clockwork.

On Foot Holidays

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our self guided walking holiday in Mallorca. The walk was generally quite easy with a few moderate sections. We loved the scenery, the hotels and the food.

On Foot provided detailed walking notes and background information. They were very helpful and responsive to any questions we had.

I’ve used several other companies for walking holidays but cannot over state how thorough on foot where in their prep to get us ready, and the standard of support, walking guides, and hotels was impressive

We had a wonderful trip. The mountains are beautiful, and gave us 7 wonderful days of walking. The lengths of the days were varied, with options for shorter days or taxing full days depending on how you felt. Route notes were excellent and we were also recommended an app to ensure we stayed on track. Accommodation and transport was good.

Very proactive in sending information. Also responded very quickly to questions. Provided detailed walking notes and local support if required.

A 7 day route through the mountains

Very organised and thorough

We loved the towns, scenery and the food in Mallorca. On our one day in Palma, at the suggestion of the hotel staff, we attended the regional food fair that was going on at a nearby park. What a treat. We had a chance to sample a number of delicious local specialties. My favourite was the 'black paella'. This was a once a year event that was held over several days. When the storm blew in and weren't permitted to walk due to safety concerns, we suited up and explored the towns. In Soller, Jardins d'Alfàbia was closed to the power outage, but we did get to visit the Botanitcal garden which was lovely, well worth the visit. So despite not being able to actually do the trekking due to the Juliette storm, we had a good holiday. So a rating of good rather than excellent due to the weather.

Our self guided trekking tour was very well organized with great documentation and support. We particularly enjoyed the detailed background information on Mallorca. All the hotels used by the tour operator were unique and well run. Any queries by email were promptly responded to. Special requests attended to. The nicest tour group I have ever booked a trip with. So despite the named storm disrupting our holiday, we would love to go back, and make a 2nd attempt at the OnFoot trekking holiday in Mallorca.

As always we thoroughly enjoyed our walking holiday in Mallorca with On Foot.The scenery was stunning and varied and the walking options meant that it could be enjoyed to the full by a couple in their late seventies.The route was very easy to follow as so much was waymarked. All the hotels were very comfortable and well situated and had their own character.We loved the artwork in the hotel in Palma and the breakfast view in Estellencs and Valdemossa The recommendations for restaurants were very helpful and we enjoyed delicious local dishes everywhere. The hot sunny weather meant we were able to enjoy a swim at the end of a days walking and eat all of our meals outside.

This was our seventh holiday with On Foot and we are already planning the next for the first rate friendly and efficient service.

It was wonderful. Beautifully planned and each day different. Walks were varied and gorgeous days ended in stunning villages and well chosen small charming hotels. Great food and wine. Altogether excellent.

Responsive. Informed. Not too much or too little information. Accurate maps and route info. Very nice petiole.

A wonderful holiday. Excellent walking with a mix of terrain, plenty of coastal views and options to shorten the lengths through shortcuts, alternative routes and partial transfers. Really lovely hotels, all with bags of character, very friendly hosts, great locations and very good facilities. Very good local support available through a friendly and efficient local agent. We enjoyed it all so much.

On Foot were so very helpful and friendly throughout. The initial planning was efficient and flexible. The walking notes were superb: accurate, completely up to date and clear, supported by high quality printed maps and GPX files. Their choice of hotels was perfect. The team here are clearly exceptional and take huge pride in what they do. We look forward to our next adventure with them!

We did the 6 night route and enjoyed it very much. The packs sent in advance by On Foot were excellent and the day to day Route notes extremely accurate so made it so easy. We stayed in beautiful accommodation, one place better than the next, all family run. We received a warm welcome everywhere and were well looked after. Those that provided dinner did not disappoint and generally there was a family atmosphere with other guests. As it was late February, it was cold at night so most places had a fire in the communal areas. Some of the hospitality was outstanding and it is difficult to mention all but our favourite was Es Petit Hotel in Valldemossa. We feel that the On Foot team have done an excellent job in putting this route together. A special mention for Jesca, the local contact who checked in on us after our first day to make sure all was ok and subsequently during the trip. Well done all round.

Excellent communication at all points from booking to departure with updated information prior to leaving. We found they responded rapidly to any queries and were very helpful.
