Santiago De Compostela 13-Day Tours and Trips

It was a Camino dream come true for us. Our guide, Jorge, was knowledgeable and a great communicator. Both he and our beloved driver, Miro, were kind, patient and accommodating. They became our friends. Jorge’s love of Spain and Miro’s love of Galicia were infectious! Our journey was full of joy, laughter, and pleasant surprises. We enjoyed traveling with our fellow pilgrims.

Just brilliant! I can't recommend this trip enough. It was tough going at times but all worthwhile when we eventually marched into Santiago in glorious sunshine. Our guide, Rocio, was beyond brilliant. She was so supportive, set the pace to suit everyone and kept us all going when people were struggling towards the end of the day (usually me). She helped us all in so many ways over the 12 days and always with great efficiency, competence and good humour. Nothing was EVER a problem. It was truly a fantastic experience, not always easy but the people you meet, the sights you see and great sense of achievement when you are done make it all worthwhile. So, if you are reading this and thinking should I/can I/will I do the Camino – DO IT. I promise you won't regret it.

The hotels and meals that were included exceeded our expectations - very good value! The support team were helpful when we needed to make adjustments due to illness. Highly recommend!

I will start with a couple of small things that meant a lot to me. I had been travelling all day and arrived a Madrid Airport around 11pm local time to be met with Alex our guide who had a taxi waiting for me. He ensured the hotel checkin went very well. Everyone on the Camino was incredibly friendly if anyone was in trouble everyone came running to help. I mentioned above about being met at the airport and everything going smoothly it was the same for the whole trip. The hotels were all first class, the staff could not have been nicer. I felt that we were given the freedom we needed to experience the Camino with the support of a guide there in case anything went wrong. We formed a good group who got on really well. I can see why the pilgrimage is rated so highly, the scenery was excellent, the churches were fantastic along with some of the historic towns and cities. Something which surprised me about the Camino was the number of single women walking on their own. The fact that they feel that it is safe to do so should be a source of pride to the Spanish people. Everyone I talked to who completed the Camino took away what they needed from it.

The Best of Camino tour exceeded my expectations! For context this was my first trip to Spain, first walking holiday AND group tour. Our small group size made it easy to get to know each person. The hotels selected were comfortable and in great locations. I enjoyed all the “pilgrim” meals especially the final night in Santiago. Our guide, Sergio selected the walks that would showcase the best of the landscape. He kept us safe, guided us and we learned so much about the culture through Sergio. Our driver Miro, moved us safely to all start points, took care of our bags and poles, always with a smile. It IS “Best of Camino”, the best guide, the best driver, the best accommodations, meals and best value for money. I have recommended UTracks to friends and family and look forward to my next adventure!

This was our second Camino with them and we enjoyed every minute. The GPS maps were perfect even though the route was clearly way marked in the main. The hotel accommodation was very good and most welcome at the end of a long day. The breakfasts were exceptionally good and the evening meals provided were plentiful.
