  A wonderful Tour that meant we could experience the Camino with the combination of vehicle travel, sightseeing, a history journey along the pilgrim way, a chef supported culinary experiences , as well as walk the Camino Way for the last five days and experience a challenge that was so well supported and organised, both on the walk as well as for the more luxury phase . The itinerary and places we visited and toured, offered once in a lifetime type experiences for me personally in terms of the dining and truly luxury food experiences , as well as the sightseeing and a variety of opportunities to bond as a group, as we entered Camino walking days which were amazing. I felt well cared for in terms of organisation, and encouraged and advised along the way so my husband and I could achieve our goal of completing the walk. excellent TourShow more

  This was a once in a lifetime experience! Chris' expertise across all aspects of cultural, food and wine and historical highlights, paired with his logistical, guiding and safety knowledge ensured that we got to see and experience the best that the Camino has to offer. His significant experience in knowing the Camino de Santiago so well, coupled with Spanish Celebrity Chef Javier Codina of Moda Restaurant, whose passion and love of food, family and shared experiences, made this tour simply amazing for our whole group. Across the first week, we travelled by luxury small mini-bus and got to experience multiple Michelin Star restaurants - a number of which opened just for our group, as well as the amazing local food and wine in more traditional restaurants and cafes. This was coupled with seeing and exploring some of the key Camino towns and cities, ensuring we got to see all the best and most impactful parts of what the first 600km or so of the Camino Frances experience has to offer. In the second week we started our Camino pilgrimage, commencing the 114km walk from Sarria arriving in Santiago de Compostela in the morning as the sun came up. Thanks to Chris' expert guiding experience, we were very well prepared in navigating, walking and looking after our feet (!!) and ensuring that we enjoyed the experience along The Way. Safety and wellbeing were a number one priority and we couldn't have asked for a better person to look after us all - particularly since our group ranged in age from 53 to 84. Chris sourced was the best accommodation available along the Camino route (4-5 star) making the end of a long day of walking very relaxing. The two luxury mini-buses also operated as support vehicles, allowing a lot of flexibility for those in the group that did not wish or weren't able to walk the whole distance day-to-day. A huge thank you to Chris, Javier and Marco for this incredible Camino Frances experience!! it will be one we will all remember as a one in a lifetime bucket list adventure!Show more

  Traveling overseas can be stressful. Luckily we had Chris and Marco taking care of us the entire way. That included meetings before the trip to make sure we understood what to expect. Chris sent us a training schedule that we followed pretty closely to get ready. Once we started the Camino Frances through the end we never worried about availability for hotels or good restaurants--they had it covered. We got to see some of the most beautiful countryside and also the important Pelegrino art along the way. I couldn't be more satisfied with the journey. I would highly recommend Climbing Mountains to anyone without hesitation.Show more
