As a senior I found the two longer mileage days a bit of a challenge but overall it was a great walking holiday. The hotels and the food were excellent. I especially enjoyed the boat trip, as well as walking the final three days to Santiago, like real pilgrims. The medieval border town of Tui was fascinating. I loved the stone and water route on Day 6. Sadly we had to walk the last 5 miles to Santiago in the rain, which was disappointing. The scenery was varied along the way although I found some sections alongside the road tedious.
I had the most fantastic time island hopping through Greece. The views were absolutely beautiful, but a lot of it was due to our fantastic trip manager, *Personal details removed by Feefo*, who made sure that we were having a fantastic time all the time no matter what we were doing no matter where we went. He went above and beyond and made sure that even during our free time when he didn’t need to that, we were having reservations at dinner or going out somewhere fun and having drinks and he just did a really absolutely fantastic job. And although my group was smaller than the average and made it so it was really intimate and that we were able to connect with the other travellers on the group, and I made some lifelong friends. And of course Greece is absolutely and incredible country and has some many amazing things to see.
Sanne was an amazing tour guide. She was so knowledgeable, helpful and fun. I really had the best time on the tour and felt at ease throughout, thanks to Sanne’s fabulous organisation and calm vibe. I loved learning loads of new games from Sanne too- especially the picnic game! Thank you Sanne!

If there’s one suggestion, it would be to skip Marseille ( feels unsafe ) and consider a stop in St. Tropez or Cannes instead for a more memorable coastal experience.
