Overall i had a good time. the things i didnt like were the overpacked itinaries, due to that, people usually left hotels at 0730 in the morning and checked into hotels at 1030pm the same day. this should be limited to a maximum of 12 hrs. other things included hotels not being in central areas or places where we could as travellers find it easy to commute especially after dropping us off in the city and not offering a pick up back to the hotels. due to it being summer most of us were sticky, hot and less than impressed. the tour guides seemed to work to their bone and was difficult to get large groups gathered..not that it was the tour guides fault but the amount of people in each group. being a single travller, i joined about 5 groups so i can say that was definitely the case everytime. one of the days we were dropped off at X location and told that we would be picked up at Y location. we all felt lost.. ended up getting a taxi just to get from lost point to Y to get the bus to the hotel.
being a single traveller, i didnt get to know who i was paired with all the time and some hotels only had 1 key which made life very difficult for both of us.
also, some groups had dinners packaged with their trips this wasnt told to me so the 2nd day i followed a group and basically was told i couldnt join in so i had to loiter around to another restaurant barely knew what they served and had a terrible meal.
overall, 5/10.
i wouldnt travel with europamundo again.
The Camino Frances, starting from St Jean Pied de Port in France and ending in the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela, has featured on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1993, a total distance of 790km / 490 miles. Known as one of the most challenging sections of the pilgrimage, many see this section as also the most rewarding, with pilgrims traversing the Pyrenees from France into Spain, a dramatic and incomparable landscape.
During this stage of the Camino Frances, you will visit the ancient medieval towns of St Jean Pied de Port, Roncesvalles and Puente la Reina, experience the challenging, scenically stunning walk across the Pyrenees and wander through the beautiful countryside, passing through towns and villages, each with a long history intertwined with this most famous pilgrimage. The cities of Pamplona and Logrono are filled with places of interest to visit, examples of Gothic and medieval architecture, cathedrals and palaces. Logrono is the capital of the Rioja wine region, so be sure to take in some wine tasting here, but don't forget to collect your stamp for your Pilgrim Passport!

I liked the ability to customize the trip, rather than be stick with a stiff schedule/route. This flexibility allowed for me to choose exactly which cities we wanted to see. My family and I were very lucky because we had the same driver and guide, Juan Carlos and Pedro, for the entirety of our trip, and they were both fantastic.
