Yorkshire Dales Traveller Reviews

We walked the Yorkshire Dales and were submerged in jaw-dropping vistas and serene beauty. Our trails and paths led us through emerald green fields and over grassy moorlands where our only company were the sheep and cows grazing in the wild. Each night was spent at a cozy inn where we relaxed with a local ale and a cozy fire. An exceptional trip planned perfectly by our friends at On Foot Holidays.

To work with On Foot Holidays is to experience the delight of a private concierge at the price of a group tour. Their attention to detail, the wealth of information they provide to set you up for the best possible experience, it all adds up to a flawless experience. To be able to experience something as individuals moving at your own pace, but have the support that OFH provides, is truly unique and valuable.

We did a wonderful 6 day walking holiday with On Foot Holidays to the Yorkshire Dales. It was an amazing experience. On Foot provided excellent guides and GPS tracks and their customer service was so responsive! We had a knowledgeable local guide who stayed in contact with us throughout the trip to ensure everything was going smoothly. The B&Bs that we stayed at were so lovely - historic buildings, comfortable rooms, lovely hosts, and delicious food. The walking was pastoral, with beautiful views of the rolling hills, lovely stonework, and quaint little villages. It captured that "All Creatures Great and Small" experience. We loved the trip, it exceeded our expectations and we hope to do another soon!

On Foot Holidays exceeded our expectations for customer service. They answered our many questions throughout the planning phase and ensured that we had everything we need to be prepared for walking. The guides they provided were excellent. The booking was wonderful and they were still very responsive during the trip when we had questions. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a walking holiday.

This was our first trip to Yorkshire. The walking holiday was organized by On Foot. Every aspect exceeded our expectations: the route, the planning, the booking and ongoing support during our walk. The walking directions and maps were spot on.

This was our second booking with On Foot. We expect to continue to rely on them for future walking holidays.

Six days' place to place walking in the Yorkshire Dales through beautiful scenery and pretty villages, staying in Guesthouses and pubs with great food and drink. We loved the area and the length of days was just right for us given that there was some ascent each day. Excellent local knowledge from the local representative who developed the route and phoned us at the start to check all was OK.

They were very helpful and flexible when organising the holiday and we able to rearrange things at the last minute to suit our circumstances.

A beautiful walk through the Yorkshure Dales. If you've watched the television series "All Creatures Great and Small" you'll have an idea of what to expect. And if you suspect that the producers worked hard to film only in the prettiest parts....rest assured that they could have used scenes from just about anywhere in The Dales. Stunning scenery every day in every direction.

Our 4th trip with OnFoot Holidays with zero probkems. The office staff, as always, was accessible and responsive from start to finish. The local contact was particularly helpful on this trip. I rarely "gush" about a product or service, but this is one company I can recommend without reservation.

Thanks to On Foot we had the most excellent week walking in the Yorkshire Dales despite (or perhaps because of?) the bad, sometimes terrible, weather. Our first day's cab driver gave us the perfect intro to the Dales with so much local knowledge. We loved all the accommodation booked for us and ate very well (perhaps too well!) at the recommended places. And we walked many miles, brilliantly guided by On Foot's detailed notes and the GPS directions, and with a friendly local contact at the end of the phone for advice. Highly recommended.

Detailed planning, from a friendly and knowledgeable team who are happy to answer every single question. Can't wait to travel again with them.

We thoroughly enjoyed our perfectly planned and supported walk in the Yorkshire Dales with On Foot Holidays. Every detail was considered and this made our independent walking holiday go smoothly. We received a warm welcome every place we stayed, food recommendations and accommodations were excellent. All transfer points were well organized and our interactions with the home office were always friendly and helpful. This is our second time using this company and I’m sure there will be more holidays with them in the future!

On Foot Travel staff have been very helpful in making adjustments to meet our needs. Their personal recommendations are so helpful and I love the commitment to giving us a unique experience off the beaten path. Very well organized , reliable and trustworthy.

The walk set a course across the southern Yorkshire Dales starting in the genteel Vale of York at Ripon and progressing to more remote and rugged upland terrain to one of the Three Peaks, Ingleborough. The course is unique to On Foot and takes full advantage of the unique cultural, historical, and landscape features along the way. The nights are spent in a variety of authentically local bed and breakfasts, pubs, and small hotels that were uniformly welcoming with good and clean physical facilities.

After having made over a dozen self-guided walking trips with five different companies in the past six years, On Foot has become my first choice. They have a true commitment to maximizing the walkers' experience with many custom details in the route planning, very generous preliminary information about the culture of the area and the mechanics of the walk itself, and, most importantly, providing committed local support personel. On this particular walk the local representative personally walked and sent me a GPS track for an extra day, and joined me for a half day walking, which was the high point of my trip. The front office has been very consistent in heading off logistical problems due to bank holidays and train strikes and were really helpful in extracting me from a fairly remote area when trains were cancelled at the last minute.

We walked across Yorkshire, on a very varied route, from Ripon to Austwick, with a magnificent final day climbing Ingleborough. The route was varied and the arrangements made by On Foot made everything very relaxing for us.

On Foot are friendly and responsive, and the three holidays we have had with them have been some of the best we have ever had. We will definitely travel with them again.

A marvellous walk with great planning and arrangements by On Foot

A pleasure to be a client. Everything handled with aplomb and friendliness.
