Portuguese Coastal Camino - Viana do Castelo to Santiago

The tramp was amazing - loved all of it!

10 absolutely fabulous days walking!

Thank you! This is the second holiday I have booked through you. Everything was perfect down to the booking process, information required and tools to get us through our walk was great.

We really loved our Coastal Camino walk. It was beautiful to walk through lots of historic towns and visit many beautiful beaches on the first few stops. The hotels were all good and the one in Lestrove and sensational. The only day which we found tough was walking into Vigo on a very hot day as it seemed like many streets of industrial/suburban walking the last 5 km. Overall a wonderful experience and wish we had done 14 days instead of 12!

Tje itinerary was excellent, very happy with accomodation choices. Detailed information given regarding trip notes.

We spent 12 days doing the walk. We thoroughly enjoyed it. It was so well organised. The accommodation and food varied throughout the trip. We are in really enjoyed the variation and the surprises of some of our destination points. I would highly recommend it using them.

Really enjoyed the walk. Hotels were all great, no issues with either rooms or beds. I guess the only thing I really missed was being able to make a cup of tea at the end of the day, however most hotels were very obliging and made us one to take up to our room.

They planned our trip meticulously. They were easy to get in touch with and quickly clarified any doubts we may have had. The selection of hotels and guest houses was great, and the maps and other information they provided really helpful and very easy to use.

Thanks! When we started communicating I was not sure about how the trip would go as there was minimal communication between us. I am very happy with everything you have done from choice of hotels to transfer of our bags. Thank you for all your efforts.

Normally, I would research and plan my own itinerary but due to the multiple trips, I decided to leave to others. Not having to worry about our luggage was a nice benefit.

Decent hotels and luggage transfers. Dinners could have been much better for the prices.

Great hike. Good comfortable hotels & good food. Bag transfers were excellent.

We begin our 10 day Camino at Vienna Castelo, A delightful town without tourists and on reflection, a highlight of the trip. We walked along the Atlantic coast for the next few days with very few others and it was terrific. We chanced upon a terrific lunch in Oia overlooking the port. The walk into Vigo included walking through an industrial zone which was very ugly and we were increasingly disappointed how much of the walk was through grim urban areas on the outskirts of towns. A lot more bitumen than anticipated.

We walked from Viana do Castilo to Santiago. The walk was easy, but hard for the toe balls. I recommend shoes with good cushioning. All hotels were great. Transport of luggage was great. We had a fantastic experience. Highly recommend this trip.

A fabulous Camino experience for our first one, loved both countries and felt well supported from start to finish.

Camino Portugese coastal route- spectacular, beautiful, very special. Accommodations and transfers were spot on. This is a magical, life affirming and life changing opportunity.

An incredible experience!

What a great trip. The UTracks staff were easy to work with in planning and setting up the trip, including the extra days on both ends of the trip. They asked questions of us and seemed to want to make sure we would enjoy the experience. All the hotels were overall fine. Yes, some were better than others, but all were safe and clean. The luggage was always on time and the local hotel staff were always courteous. We didn’t have any need or problems that required us to contact the company in our trip. The written directions weren’t as useful as the GPS files for our phones. That helped a lot more, as well as the Camiño markings on the way. All around, it was a great experience. I would recommend!

I enjoyed the variety of surfaces to walk along and the different scenery.

Great trip, impressed with the quality of accommodation and food along the way too. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic trip, very well organised and great support. Really good hotels and restaurants included. We had illness within our group and the support was fantastic at helping us and arranging early check ins and transport. Highly recommend!

I was very pleased with the accommodation and the meals on our recent trip.

The hotels and meals that were included exceeded our expectations - very good value! The support team were helpful when we needed to make adjustments due to illness. Highly recommend!

Everything went very smoothly on our trip - bags were always ready for us when we arrived at our hotels, ready for us weary walkers! We really liked not having to worry about booking accommodation, and also enjoyed the freedom of not having to find places to eat - each day was just about the walking without having too many other decisions to make!

This was our second Camino with them and we enjoyed every minute. The GPS maps were perfect even though the route was clearly way marked in the main. The hotel accommodation was very good and most welcome at the end of a long day. The breakfasts were exceptionally good and the evening meals provided were plentiful.

Excellent!

Very organized. Good communication.

All arrangements were perfect.

We finished the Portuguese Coastal Camino in early December 2023. It was a fantastic experience. UTracks made everything seamless from the initial contact with the company to the completion of our walk. Accommodation was always clean and comfortable, our bags were transported each day and were waiting for us on our arrival at the next accommodation. Unbeknown to us there was a change in our accommodation one day. A local UTracks representative contacted us and told us of the change and the rearranged accommodation. A brilliant example of their organisation. The information and maps provided in the package which we received at our first hotel were excellent. We'd definitely use UTracks when planning another trip.

Easy to book, reasonable price, helpful staff, nice hotels.
