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!

The trip was a great way to experience the best of the French Camino with the benefit of a guide, driver and great food. We had a fabulous group and shared many laughs and good times along the way. I am usually an independent traveller and have been to France many times but going with the group made for a relaxed and stress free experience. Walking was not overly difficult and there was always the backup option of the van. Highly recommended!

Fantastic trip and the second time we have done it, although the first time with UTracks. The accommodation was varied and really depends on the towns you stay, as some are small and have limited options. We had a fantastic room and meal at Aumont Aubrac. The Guibo app provided was a fantastic tool which is much better than paper instructions. Full marks to UTracks for being so responsive and providing a wonderful experience.

In general the 12 day trip was absolutely FABULOUS. However, given our age (mid seventies) I would have preferred some days walk to have been spread over two days. With only one exception the evening meal was a gastronomic delight. (The over-cooked chicken thigh & chips was just a bit "fast food").
