  This was a lovely walk and Rodrigo was very responsive and helpful, however there were some issues. - I didn’t really understand that there would be NO group organization/interaction. I know it was self guided, but I thought there would be some sort of introduction to others. - there was no map provided to exit Santiago itself. I did find the route but only by searching on google. And then it’s marked from there on. - when I got to my first stay in Negriera I couldn’t find anyone and then realized I was fair way from town to get food. The lady kindly opened the restaurant and fed me, but I was very tired and confused. She also didn’t speak any English - or French as I speak French too. - personally I think the 32km leg is a bit long. I took a taxi for half. - the guy who drove the luggage didn’t speak English or French either so communication was difficult. - I was charged extra for my bags. This is not stipulated in the original documentation. Rodrigo was going to charge me €80 extra which he then reduced to €40. I am travelling in Europe for a month and so I have packed for that time - not just the walk. I did enjoy the walk, but I found it a bit confusing overall. Also my fault for not really understanding the Camiño. I do now.Show more

  Hi Julie Thanks for your comments regarding the instructions, we will check and, if necessary, add any further information to make them clearer. Regarding the group, as you say, this is a self guided tour; as I explained, it is designed as a self discovery journey to make you feel in contact with yourself and with Nature. We include the transportation of 1 suitcase, so you only were charged for the 2 additional pieces you brought, not for all the transportation, at half the cost. We are really sorry this tour was not really what you were expecting, we tried our best for you to enjoy it. Had we known this is not what you were looking for, would have advised you to try another one; despiste most part of our tours are "Uncommon" and carefully curated and designed to be run in private, we also have group packages. We are looking forward to offering you the best experience in the future. Kind regards, Rodrigo
