My trip ran reasonably smoothly, no major issues other than some minor problems with dinners and payments. The trip was great, the map was helpful as there were times when the markers went other directions than what the map does like just outside Villafranca. But there are also multiple options across the whole route on which direction you take. Otherwise, the majority of people were great, as normal the level of assistance is up and down but there were some really nice people along the way. I know this is my own fault but it would be helpful to know a little bit of the language, I had no clue about Spanish and it would have been helpful.

I loved my self-guided Camino. I was very pleased with the accommodation and our bags were waiting for us at every stop along the way. Good value for money and great service. Thank you!

They did a great job of planning a high quality experience for us on the Camino de Santiago. Accommodations were very comfortable, luggage was transported efficiently, food and meals were very good for the most part. All the partners were gracious and helpful.

Everything perfect. The itinerary for walking the Camino beautifully balanced with walking days and rest days. Accomodation excellent as was the luggage transfer system.
