On Foot Holidays Malthouse Lane, Salisbury SP2 7RF

"I'm torn. My husband and I did the Slovenia walking holiday. The company (On Foot Holidays) was great to deal with from start to finish. However, I do NOT recommend doing this in Slovenia or any other region with highly endemic tick borne diseases (Tick borne diseases are *highly* endemic in Slovenia). My husband and I were both bitten by multiple ticks during our on foot holiday and are now on high dose antibiotics, spending a lot of time, money, and worry in trying to avoid Lyme, Babesia, Tick-Borne encephalitis, q fever, and others. NOT worth it. Most people who are bitten by ticks never realize they have been bitten. For example: 1/3rd of people diagnosed with Lyme knew they were bitten. So, I'm sure others have been bitten on this particular route even if there are no other reviews stating so. I do very much wish On Foot had made this high risk of serious disease very clear in the literature they sent us, considering the fact that tick borne illnesses are highly endemic in that area and that the paths are not clear enough the entire way to avoid brushing up against them. I have asked On Foot to update it for future customers. Do your research about ticks no matter where you decide to go. UPDATE (12/24/2022): Blood tests have now confirmed that I contracted the bacteria that causes lyme disease, the bacteria that causes Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and the parasite that causes babesiosis in Slovenia on this On Foot holiday."

"Can't praise this company enough. We have done two walks with them, each amongst our best holidays ever. Impeccable organisation, support and product. Highly recommend."

"Amazing, couldn't recommend enough. We just did the Ligurian Hills walk (Italy) and it was superb in every aspect. I wish I could give it 6 stars. The team provided great advice when we were choosing which hike to do. The route was spectacular, varied and provided some great hiking. The route guidance was foolproof, and the addition of a gps route map removed any potential stress. The accomodation was also excellent - varied in interesting ways and always welcoming friendly hosts. Finally, the food was spectacular, with regional feasts continuously laid out for us. We were already looking at their other routes on day 2 of our hike."

"I have done two tours with On Foot Holidays - the Dolomites and northern Provence. Both were wonderful experiences. Excellent routes and clear instructions, with shortening options for hikers of more modest abilities. GPS maps provided were very reassuring to ensure we stayed on route. Great quality accommodation and transfer services. Clear communication from the team. A very professional operation."

"Wonderful company that clear have a passion for providing superb walking holidays for their clients. The team are customer focussed and go to amazing lengths to ensure that every detail is covered. They hand puck both the routes and accomodation, and regularly review both to ensure the highest standards are maintained. I could not recommend the team highly enough."
