Santiago De Compostela Tours in Summer

The Camino Frances is the latest of many walking holidays UTracks have arranged for me in Spain, Portugal, Italy and Sicily. As usual it was a trouble-free experience, and I hope to continue walking with UTracks as long as I can.

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.

We really loved our Coastal Camino walk. It was beautiful to walk through lots of historic towns and visit many beautiful beaches on the first few stops. The hotels were all good and the one in Lestrove and sensational. The only day which we found tough was walking into Vigo on a very hot day as it seemed like many streets of industrial/suburban walking the last 5 km. Overall a wonderful experience and wish we had done 14 days instead of 12!

My daughter and I completed the 8-day Camino trip and loved it! The accommodation at each destination was clean and comfortable and, in some cases, very boutique and gorgeous. All breakfasts and dinners were terrific; it's always a holiday treat, not having to cook. We especially loved having our bags dropped each day at the next venue. But of course, the main reason we were there was to walk the Camino and that was all we hoped it would be. The stunning countryside, beautiful villages, amazing old churches, cobbled streets, fields of corn, tall gum trees, pilgrims, pilgrim passport stamps, farmyard smells, beautiful silent forests and small streams of clear water, all made for a magical journey. Thank you!

Bikes pick up was excellent. Biclas and Triclas made sure we had bikes that fitted us and all necessary equipment was provided. Did not have any issues with them. Routes provided were spot on with no issues with navigation. Bear in mind that some parts of the route could not be traversed by bikes so some self made detours are required or bike pushing done. This added to the experience. Luggage transportation was flawless with only a minor delay in one leg due to us being too quick. Accommodations were very good with hot showers and comfortable beds. Only one hotel did not have adequate air conditioning but it was in an isolated country area and staff were fantastic in trying their best to make it better. Breakfasts could have started a little earlier for Camiño travelers as we tried to beat the hottest part of the day. Dinners were good and we never went to sleep hungry. Overall an excellent experience.

They were so efficient, answering all our questions before the trip and providing excellent information with our booking. Everything ran seamlessly, which gave us a lot of peace of mind.
