   A short but amazing walk with constantly changing landscapes. While we were blessed with exceptional weather, we would have enjoyed it had it rained! The selected hotels were great and we were really impressed with the cuisine, from great breakfasts to memorable dinners using local produce. As usual, the organisation and information were impeccable and that allowed us to enjoy the experience without any concerns!

   I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! From the start they helped us identify the perfect route for us based on timing and ability. We chose the Portuguese with the Spiritual Variant starting in Vigo which enabled us to see amazing villages, coastal views and a nice mix of busy parts with lots of pilgrims and then parts that were just us. They picked great accommodations for us close to the route but also close to the main parts of town so we could explore and enjoy in the afternoon after we finished walking for the day. Overall the customer service was fantastic. With everything perfectly arranged, which included a personalized google map itinerary so we didn’t need to contact them often. However when we did, Caroline immediately picked up the phone and helped us. She helped us locate our driver from the airport, as well as let us know when our bags would arrive the one day we showed up before them. Overall I would highly recommend them ( especially after talking to other pilgrims that used other companies who didn’t get personalized maps!)

   The Camino Aragonés was my fourth Camino, and third with Walk the Camino. Expertly organised the customised itinerary was ideal and included several taxi transfers which worked smoothly and reliably. The taxi driver’s knowledge and appreciation of the area added to my experience. Accommodation, limited on this route, was good and varied in style from small albergues in Pyrenean hilltop villages to comfortable hotels in the bigger towns, all close to the Camino route. Communication with Walk the Camino was excellent before and during the Camino, a couple of minor issues were sorted quickly and efficiently. This was a different Camino experience, quiet, contemplative, unrivalled scenery and the terrain a little more challenging than the Francés and the del Norte. Walk the Camino suggested two alternative routes, one to the monasteries of San Juan de la Peña and to the Foz de Lumbier, these were two highlights in an incredible trip. Thanks to everyone at Walk the Camino.

   My husband and I did 7 days (115km) of the Camino Portugal from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela. Walk the Camino customised our walk, booked accommodation, arranged the transfer of our luggage each day and was available 24/7 for support during our 7 days. They also provided us with a Camino pack which was sent to us a month before departure. The pack included a customised Google map of our walk. Unfortunately, the Google map did not work for us, but we managed without it because the tracks are so well marked and we made our own back-up google maps each day which we used occationally to check we were on track. Our luggage was always dropped off before our check-in each day and the Walk the Camino team responded almost immediately when we needed help with one matter. The accommodation was comfortable at each stop and the breakfasts, that were included in our package, were always ready for us each morning. The walk was a wonderful way to see and experience a country. We walked in the city, in villages, amongst farms, and in forests and parks. The paths were gravel, paved, grassy, sometimes rocky and rooty (tree roots bulging above the ground). Because of the variety, we met different people, who did interact with us differently. Our route took us on back roads and paths and were mostly in the shade. We were lucky to not have any rain. Once we branched off on the spiritual route, we found the paths more natural when we walked though mountains, villages and forests. What a beautiful experience, thank you Walk the Camino Ltd.
