    As a solo traveller this tour gave me security. The process was seamless and the stays all exceeded my expectations. One note to travellers, make sure that stays don't charge you for dinner that is included in the package. But overall, very worth the upfront costs.

    Walking the Camino to Santiago de Compostela is an amazing experience. This self guided tour was a wonderful way to do it. The stops were well spaced out and the hotels were clean, comfortable and efficient. The food was adequate and at times quite good. The luggage service was fantastic. It was great hiking with just a day pack knowing your luggage would be at your hotel when you arrived at the end of the day. We found the maps and notes provided difficult to follow but extremely useful to get back on track if one gets “lost”. In general, the Camino was extremely well marked and one could follow the signs easily. Google maps was helpful finding our hotels which were not always directly on the way. Our stop in Padron was less than ideal - The Hotel Rosalia was quite a distance from town, was located directly across from the train station, and was a ways off the Camino. The room had a very strong odor of disinfectant that didn’t disperse with all the windows open. Other than that, the hotels were quite good and all were very clean. A special shout out to Hotel Restaurante Costa Verde in Viladesuso for the excellent fish.
