Santiago De Compostela Tours in October 2027

Firstly, I will start with a disclaimer I would like to stay in touch with our guide Malina as a friend. While I was walking the Camino she was a true friend to me. She always had best interests of everyone on the tour at heart. I valued her honest council on the walk and will continue to value it through life. My previous review mentioned how much I appreciated the guide and the taxi being there to meet me at the airport. On this occasion neither was there. The guide was out to dinner with the group. The taxi driver left after 1.5 hours. (There was a long delay in collecting our luggage) . Malina left me a whatsapp message which I was unable to access due to no internet connection on my phone. I was able to get an internet connection on a different device and checked the explore itinerary to get the name of the hotel. I then got a taxi to the hotel. When I phoned explore I was told that both the hotel name and address as well as an emergency number are in the final confirmation email. I would highly recommend writing both down before you leave home. I would say the main reason for having a guide is not to point out all the interesting things and the great views but to prevent things going wrong and to deal with them when they do. I successfully walked the Camino last year, ok I had a few blisters but still completed it. It was difficult for me to accept that I would have to do shorter walks this year because of blisters and the heat. But Malina was correct. She took a difficult decision with my best interest at heart to ensure that I not only enjoyed my holiday but also returned home without any health issues. Instead of walking in the heat which was difficult for me I got the opportunity to fully experience the excellent hotels and interesting places on the journey. Which Camino was best I cannot really answer that question. In both cases I was in groups made up of wonderful people with guides who went the extra mile to ensure that everyone had a great holiday. I had two different holidays the first was walking place to place mainly enjoying the journey in the second I had more time to experience the destination. The main thing that both had in common was the camaraderie of the Camino.

Thank you. Your plan worked well. It was good to see my luggage at every stop on the way. The hotels were great and the Rural Group A were fantastic. Thank you again. Regards, sore feet!

They were great! Our luggage was always at our next hotel and the hotels chosen were great! It made our trip have no worries and I would definitely use them again!

We had a fantastic trip doing the Portuguese Coastal Camino with this company. Our accomodation was great, bags were always there when we arrived hot and tired at our destination and Julia and Melissa, the agents who organised our trip were amazing. We had lots of queries and questions which they always responded to quickly and professionally which we were very grateful for. I would highly recommend them if you are planning a trip.

For her 75th birthday, our mom asked that her four adult children accompany her on the Camino de Santiago. We chose this 10-day Sarria to Santiago Rambler trip for our group of beginning-to-moderate level hikers—and we are so happy that we did! From the start, the team was prompt, thorough, and incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions. Their online portal was easy to use, and their reminders about due dates and registration details were clear and considerate. The documents and tools they provided gave us exactly what we needed to complete the Camino successfully and with ease. The majority of our accommodations were beyond our expectations in both comfort and style. The food—aside from one meal—was amazing, plentiful, and deeply satisfying after a day’s walk. All of the accommodation partners were lovely to interact with, and our luggage transfers went off without a hitch. Even a planned family transfer (due to limited lodging at one stop) was handled smoothly and seamlessly. It was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. We’re already considering doing another leg of the Camino, and if we do, we’ll definitely go with them again. Highly recommended to anyone planning a self-guided walk on the Camino de Santiago! ~A Perfect 75th Birthday Camino – Thank You!

This was a trip of a lifetime. It was so well organised and our Spanish guide was spectacular. We thoroughly recommend this to anyone as the walking was easy and the hotels were superb.
