We used them for our first Camino Walk. From start to end everything went smoothly. Two couples, bags transfers, accommodations, transportation where required. We had great information and support from the time we started our contact with them up to the end. We walked 300km+ , it was great to know there were beds at the end of the day and the hotels /motels were all great. Highly recommend!

Too much too fast We needed more time in several spots, less in others. TA did not advice about the hectic pace. Madrud and Barcelona were extremely confusing with the changes in buses, groups, guides, etc.
Excellent We knew to expect wed be changing buses here there as that is how you keep your prices so reasonable for your itineraries. We had 3 transfers over 13 days all handled smoothly by the bus drivers moving luggage across Guides advising in advance exactly when/how this would occur so worked fine with us. The main thing was we got to experience every city as stated on our itinerary we didnt miss anything.
What I liked most about the tour was the visit to Seville because on our 2017 tour I had been sick and we could not enjoy this visit on that occasion, I also liked the visit to Porto and Santiago de Compostela.
A self guided walk along the original Camino trail used by pilgrims walking to Santiago de Compostela. The pilgrim's trail to Santiago de Compostela is one of the great historical 'long distance footpaths' through Europe. According to legend, it all began in the 9th century when the bones of the apostle St James, beheaded in Palestine, miraculously appeared in a village in what is now Galicia. Word spread around the Christian world, reaching (among others) King Alfonso II of Asturias. He undertook the pilgrimage, travelling through dark woods and daunting mountains, from Oviedo to Lugo to Santiago and invited fellow kings and noblemen to follow in his footsteps. The 'original' route became very popular in the early Middle Ages when areas south of the Cantabrian mountains were continuously at war. Walked by millions of 'peregrinos' over the centuries, this self-guided walk reveals the beautiful natural settings, captivating historical monuments, gorgeous rural farmland and authentically friendly villages of northern Spain. Near Lugo, the 'Camino Primitivo' joins the more popular French route.
First time experience. Our guides were good; Hiren was excellent He was professional, courteous, and highly organized. We very much enjoyed being part of his tour. Two of the hotels listed upon our booking were not the hotels we actually stayed at during the course of the tour supposedly the AC Marriott Oviedo but we ended up at Iberik Santo Domingo instead - there is nothing around here and too far from city center. Also everything was closed on Dec 31 and Jan 1; disappointed not to see Santemar Caves. In lieu, we had lunch at a medieval town. Zipped through Bilbao; the museum and most everything else was also closed.
The buses were comfortable and our main driver was great Roberto was nice to clean and squigee the windows so we can take streak free pictures very important The 2nd bus, not so much it was packed/crowded going back to Madrid. In a nutshell, we didnt see much of the sights as expected. Nevertheless, it was a delightful tour except for the disappointing 2 days everything was closed.
