Is Sept 8th 2026 the only opening

For the 12 day itinerary specifically, there are only two departure dates. They are: April 28th 2026 which is sold out September 8th 2026 which has 8 spaces currently available. We do also have an 8 day itinerary that has more dates though.

My wife cannot walk the distance. Is it possible to be transported to each daily destination to meet the hiking group. I completed the Camino de Santiago walking but would like to have my wife come on the pilgrimage with me.

All guests joining our tours do need to be fit enough to complete the itinerary as is. If anyone is unable to complete the walks, they would need to arrange a taxi and their own cost.

What is the process for booking flights for the tour?

Flights are not included in the trip package, but they can be arranged and added to your booking upon request.

How can I find out about additional nights before or after the tour?

You can inquire about extra nights before or after the tour during your booking process or by checking availability directly with us.

What meals are included in the tour price?

The package includes 11 breakfasts throughout the tour, with additional meals available at guest discretion.

Please describe the hotels used. Are they private rooms or hostels?

The accommodation used will be private rooms. On this trip we stay in smaller, family-run hotels and pensions that might not offer the same luxuries as larger chain-style hotels, but they do provide a warm welcome, a comfortable place to stay and the chance to gain a better understanding of local life.

How do I arrange airport transfers?

Airport transfers can be arranged as part of the package for designated arrival and departure dates.

Are there any luggage transfers included during the trek?

Yes, main baggage will be transported between night stops, allowing you to carry only what you need for the day.

Are you able to offer a better price for this tour?

This is the best price we can offer on this tour, we believe this is a competitive price and great value for a small group tour!

Julia was amazing! She went ahead of us to make sure things were set up, it we showed up somewhere and the service was poor, she jumped right in to help make it excellent. I have diabetes, am an insulin pump wearer and have celiacs, so I can't eat gluten. I had scary incidents a few days of the trip on the trail and she stayed with me until I was better and checked in on me often, while still attending to the needs of the other tour members. She arranged in advance for their to be gluten free bard so myself and others on the tour that can't eat gluten always had something to eat. She was full of boundless energy and optimism and helped us all on the days it was a little tough. She is an exceptional guide and really the crown jewel of your operation.Show more

Has to be the heat. Our Camino coincided with a heatwave, however, our guide adjusted the schedule so we could start walking earlier in the morning. Reaching Santiago in time for the 12 noon pilgrims mass. The village of Faba and the chance meeting of a man named Miguel who took great honour and pride in showing the group his village church. Meeting other walkers/pilgrims from all around the worldShow more
