An Adventure with Guardrails! - Ariana and her crew did a fantastic job of organizing the logistics of our self-guided hiking experience. Accommodations were as described and food was Greek, so excellent. The hiking was hotter than anyone expected and I suffered a bout of heat exhaustion. Ariana was in close contact as I recovered and her team tweaked our logistics so that we could finish out our trip with a minimum of disruption. The hiking was glorious and the safety net provided by One Foot Forward (GPS and paper maps, background materials, 24 hr emergency contact) made all the difference to us and allowed us to focus on the adventure of each day. Thank You. We would recommend this trip to anyone seeking a new adventure with guard rails. Dotty and Annie

Memorable hiking experience - Communication with the One Foot Forward team was always excellent. The trip was organised to our exact specifications, and the info material and personal briefing was extensive and very helpful. Accommodation ranged from basic to very good. The hike itself was amazing. Andros is beautiful, and the old trails are delightful and challenging in equal measures. Highly recommended!

Fabulous walking! Fabulous Island - Amazing service from start to end. Communication was brilliant throughout and Ariana's attention to detail and organization was second to none. An excellent walk on a beautiful island. Loved every minute! After working many many years in the travel trade, I would not hesitate to recommend Ariana and her team (Stavroula, Sissy and Giannis) . Thank you all for such a lovely warm welcome and a fabulous trip.

Excellent tour operator, highly recommended! - We have already done many trekking tours - some of them with luggage transport - but we have never experienced better service. The organization by Ariana and her team was excellent in every respect, from the communication beforehand to the welcome dinner and selection of tours and accommodations down to the little details. We can recommend One Foot Forward in every respect!

Perfect hiking on Andros - We have done all the 7 hikes as proposed in the tour. All arrangements worked perfect, all transfers, all luggage transports, ferry tickets - everything just perfect! And the hikes as well were perfectly signposted, one can't get lost! And together with the provided GPS tracks, we always knew exactly where we were. One Foot Forward classified this hike as "difficult". Being experienced hikers, especially in Greece, we just can confirm that. But it's worth all the effort! We've got a deep and long lasting impression of the island of Andros! And the guys of One Foot Forward did just a perfect job! Thanks a lot!

Fantastic hiking holiday - We very much enjoyed our hiking holiday in Andros. The organisation was absolutely fantastic. Ariana arranged everything superbly, from the hiking to restaurants to any other help we needed. One of our party had a minor health incident which Ariana and her team helped resolve speedily. We often joked that the answer to any problem was simply "ask Ariana". Andros is a beautiful island, unusually green and hilly, with well established, clearly signposted trails. We stayed in 3 different locations which gave us good coverage of the island. Hotels were great and the various restaurants provided genuine island hospitality and delicious, varied local cuisine. We would strongly ecommend One Foot Forward and Ariana and her team without hesitation

Quiet walking on the Andros trails - Ariana was very patient organising and reorganising our walking trip many times; frequently postponed by pandemic related issues we finally went in May 2022. At all times Ariana kept in touch with us on our self-guided trip, checking on our status and needs. The walking was varied and we saw much of the island. From wildlife and spring flowers to attractive villages and welcoming monasteries our walks were interesting and rewarding. The paths are well established and signed. Together with Ariana's GPS tracks, notes and maps navigation is easy. That said on most days we met no one, we had the hills to ourselves. The accommodation, chosen to fit our route, was varied and well chosen. Ariana ensured that we were welcomed and well catered for everywhere. We recommend Ariana to any walkers on Andros.

A very special adventure - Andros is a spectacular island with so much to see, taste and experience. From the routes across the mountains, valleys, rivers, and beaches, to the unique gastronomy, and not least the amazing history and culture of the island. Travelling with One Foot Forward just adds to the experience to make it even better. Ariana is a excellent guide, professional and very knowledgeable about everything the island has to offer- her enthusiasm and love of Andros is infectious!. The logistics of the daily activities are very well organized so you can relax and just enjoy nature and culture at its best. For all lovers of nature and good living, I wholeheartedly recommend travelling with OneFootForward for your visit to beautiful Andros!
