Is there transport for a bag from each hotel or are we required to carry everything the entire hike?

We will transport your luggage between hotels, but you are only allowed one bag/suitcase of maximum weight 18kg. No items should be strapped to your luggage, such as shoes, walking poles, etc. Transport of any extra luggage will incur a small fee charged at the Welcome Meeting on Day 1.

Do you offer this tour in reverse? I would like to end up in Porto.

Unfortunately, we don't offer the itinerary in reverse ending in Porto.

Are these tours ever cancelled? Do you have any recommendations for a first timer walking the Camino? What I should pack, what I shouldnt pack, etc? Do I need to bring a sleeping bag? Do you recommend I book the 12th in Santiago on my own? I am planning on staying for that evening before departing the next day. Any recommendations for where to stay? When I get the eSim that is included, when will it be available to use? I am flying in before our trip to spend time at Fatima, it would be good to have eSim available for then, as well as for after our tour together as I will be spending a little more time in Spain.

Our trips are guaranteed to depart once we have at least one fully paid traveler. Trips are subject to reasonable itinerary changes. Packing recommendations include lightweight, comfortable clothing: warm layers, breathable t-shirts, hiking pants, waterproof outer layers, hiking boots, walking poles, small backpack, water bottle, sun protection. We will transport your main luggage (one bag up to 18kg) between hotels. You won't need a sleeping bag as accommodation is at hotels. If you want to stay an extra night in Santiago, we can help book post-tour accommodation. The tour does not include an eSIM, you would need to purchase your own.

Would like to get a detailed itinerary for the walk. Also, in the case that wife doesn't join the trip can you give an approximate of the single supplement cost? Looking at going in September 2025 or May 2026 in the shoulder seasons.

A single supplement is available if you'd prefer not to share a room on this trip and subject to availability at the time of booking, the additional cost would be USD $640.

What preparation is needed for the walking trails?

Prepare for the trails by packing essential gear like hiking boots, a water bottle, and weather-appropriate clothing. Ensure you have a comfortable backpack for daily excursions.

does this tour offer luggage transfer each day? (We do not want to carry our luggage.)

On this itinerary your luggage will be transported for you to the next hotel. At most you would just need to carry it to your rooms upon check in and then bring them down the next day.

What accommodation is it? How many meals are provided? How do u get to the start? I have done Sarria to Santiago a few times, is it very similar?

Accommodation: This trip includes twin-share accommodation as standard. If you prefer a single room, a single supplement can be arranged for an additional cost. Meals Included: The trip includes 9 breakfasts and 1 dinner, ensuring you start your days energized for the journey. Transfers: If you'd like us to arrange an arrival transfer from the airport to your starting-point hotel, we'd be happy to organize that for you. Regarding your question about comparing this route to the Sarria to Santiago journey you've completed before, could you please clarify further? For example, are you asking about the level of difficulty, scenery, or overall experience?

What is the procedure after booking a tour?

Once booked, you should expect to receive essential trip information, including visa requirements, accommodation details, and a detailed itinerary.

What are the essential packing items for the trip?

Essentials include a day pack, trekking clothing, comfortable shoes, hiking boots, a water bottle, and sun protection. It's advisable to pack light and bring clothes suitable for variable weather.

Is luggage transported from one location to the next or do we need to be able to carry all of our contents in our backpack? Also, which is the best month to do this? I have randomly selected Sept 21st but I am open to going at any time of the year.

Yes, your main luggage will be transported between hotels, so you only need to carry a daypack with essentials. September 21st is a great choice, as it's during the shoulder season with mild weather and fewer tourists.

  Is there direct transportation from Fatima to Porto? Would you recommend bringing a camera, or just using iPhone? Do I need a sheet liner? Is passport stamping something the tour will arrange, or do I need to plan for this myself?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2025
  Bus transport from Fatima to Porto is available, but you'll need to make your own arrangements. Your phone would be sufficient to capture trip moments, but you can bring a camera if interested. Sheet liners are optional, recommended for cold sleepers. Passport stamping is not something we can assist with - you'll need to make your own arrangements.
