The Way of St. James Tours in Fall

I followed the instructions regarding labeling my luggage precisely but even so my bag still didn’t show up on the first day. Travel light should be stressed as many hotels involve hauling your bag up many flights of stairs. Lifts are rare. Meals were mostly excellent.

This is the third Camino that my wife and I have hiked a section of and it did not disappoint. We hiked from Le Puy to Conques. The scenery was beautiful and they delivered everything as promised. The accommodations were all located well, they were clean and our luggage was waiting each day. The GUIBO app worked very well, although I think that some more data around daily landmarks and items of interest could be loaded in to help with planning things such as food and water for the coming two days. Having the demi pension worked very well as restaurant choices were very limited in the small towns that we traveled through. We also thought they did a great job in breaking up the stages to manageable distances making the hiking very pleasant. This was our second trip using them. They are a class act and we look forward to using them again on future trips.

From the moment we enquired and booked the team were amazing. It was a great trip and having all the logistics sorted for us made the walking the priority. The few hiccups we had with luggage transfers and meals were sorted quickly. Le Puy to Conques was a beautiful Camino to start with, but a warning, the feeling at the end of it was a feeling that it was not the end!!

Hikes should start first thing in the morning...City tours/cultural activities should take place after hikes...or eliminate...Dinner meal times should be earlier...Dinner menu selection should be no more than 48 hours of eating it...Eliminate 2 hour van transfer day 10 prior to 15.5 km hike....Overall-include more hiking hours....Offer an add-on from St. Jean de Pied de Port to Roncesvalles.....

Fantastic trip! Well organised and everything went smoothly. Would probably split the two big 30+ days if I were to have my time again. The heat adds another level of difficulty. Accommodations were all different but all clean and welcoming. Meals were varied as we walked into different regions the food changed to what was local. We never had a bad meal or a bad stay anywhere. Highly recommend this trip through France. A nice quiet Camino compared to the Frances but far more challenging. Very enjoyable.

Wonderful way to enjoy Chemin de Saint Jacques in a limited time. 1st class accommodation with excellent culinary experiences ranging from local fare to fine dining. The walking trails allowed a good experience of The Camino. The walking was not difficult, in keeping with the advertised 2/5 level. Our guide Jaclyn and driver Jerome were fantastic. I highly recommend the walk!
