Camino De Santiago Tours in Fall

Luca's was a fabulous guide and very knowledgable about the area. He was the perfect advocate for the group. The walk was more of a challenge than I expected and not for the faint hearted. It was great to start the walk a few days before the 100km mark when the crowds joined in. The accomodation was mostly good but a few places were a little poor.

Walking The Camino de Santiago was an absolute amazing experience that can not be described in a few sentences. One should make this journey and immerse themselves in the people, food, history, culture traditions and deeper connection with others. Highly recommend you do this at least once in your lives. Our guide Ester was phenomenal, providing great details on the trails, hidden gems along the way, and the best lunch and dinner locations; Explore is the only company that i could find that fulfills the milage requirements to get your Compostela Certified.

Our guide, Ester Galindo, was caring, considerate and kind as well as being professional, organised, knowledgeable and punctual. She could even recall if a specific hotel had bathrooms, despite there being so many in a single trip and with all her different tours. She was also fun!

Joined the Camino de Santiago trip on my first solo holiday. The holiday was well organised, the accommodation was good, some of it exceptional but most important of all was Ester, our guide. She looked after all of us. She was kind and open hearted. She turned what would have been a great holiday into a once in a lifetime experience, turning a bunch of strangers into a community. Can’t wait to do my next Explore trip!

This trip was amazing from start to finish. The friends made along the way, the beautiful scenery, the feeling you are walking in the footsteps of past pilgrims all added to to Camiño experience! Our guide Ester gave 100% every day to make sure the group got the most out of the trip ! She was amazing!!!

From start to finish, the trip was organised very well by our friendly expert guide Javier Ramirez. Each day, we'd have a short briefing where he explained what the terrain would be like, what stops we were making and notable highlights you'd encounter on the walk. He also kept us right when it came to collecting our pilgrim stamps en route - as you need a certain amount to receive your pilgrim certificate at the end in Santiago. Every stage in the route was enchanting, we'd make pitstops at rustic farmhouses for traditional Galician homemade fare and fluffy Santiago cake - the perfect treat after a couple of hours walking. We also got the opportunity to taste the famous Galician tapas including fresh octopus and scallops with caramelised onions - they were especially delicious. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, walking through sleepy villages, hushed oak forests and past babbling brooks. Even though this region is famous for its rain - it didn't rain on us once, so I'd recommend booking to go in May! It was wonderful to see this part of Spain and walk sections of one of the oldest pilgrimages in the world. Although I'm not religious, it was a really moving experience, especially seeing the Botafumeiro swinging at the Pilgrim Mass in Santiago's famous cathedral. I'd love to go back and do a different route with Exodus in the future. Thank you, Javier, for being such a wonderful guide, and for showing us Modus Vivendi, the oldest bar in Galicia!
