The Camino With a Group – What The Pilgrims Say

The Camino with a Group: What Pilgrims Say

The Joy of Walking with a Group

Ever wondered what it’s like to walk the Camino de Santiago with others? Our Camino guided tours offer a unique camaraderie, as many pilgrims have discovered.

Robert’s Journey: A Well-Organised Adventure

“From the pick up at Santiago airport to Ferrol, each stage was managed by Camino Ways, including luggage transfers, hotels, food, etc. All we had to do was walk and enjoy the wonderful experience of the Camino, its people, customs and fabulous scenery. It was a test of resilience at times but well worth it. We hardly saw anyone on the way, probably no more than 12 walkers over the six days of walking. The maps, etc, were very useful, and I bought the book by John Brierley to support our navigation along the well-marked route. Only once did we stray off the path, and that was because we were so captivated by a church and walked in the wrong direction; a local soon put us right, thankfully only a few hundred metres off the Camino. ” – Robert, UK.

Solo Traveller’s Perspective: Safety and Companionship

“As a solo female traveller over 60, I debated between going alone or with a group. I’m grateful I chose the latter. The diverse group, led by a bilingual guide, made the journey enriching and safe. The experience was challenging but fulfilling.” – Mary, USA.

Chris from Canada: A Treasured Experience

“I have just returned home after a holiday in Spain and Portugal, the highlight of which was a guided walk on the last 100km of the Via de la Plata. Eight hiking friends and I signed on with CaminoWays for the journey. It was an experience I shall treasure always. Iago, our guide, deserves special mention. Always ready with interesting cultural insights, encouragement when needed, and never betraying impatience with the slower walkers among us, his obvious pride in his native Galicia made him the perfect host for our group. He has earned my highest recommendation. Special appreciation is also given for the excellent welcoming and farewell dinners. They greatly impacted my appreciation of Spanish – sorry, Galician! – cooking and were a welcome addition to the tasty but somewhat predictable diet of bar tapas.” – Chris, Canada.

Rachael’s Highlights: A Memorable Journey

“The (guided) Camino Walk – Sarria to Santiago de Compostela – with Camino Ways was as good as I had hoped and was of great value for the money. The details provided by the company, including route, accommodation, and luggage transfers, made for a stress-free and enjoyable walk. The group of 11 was a good number – it is the luck of the draw to be with a good group – we were lucky! Our Guide, Jesus, was outstanding – he was knowledgeable, polite, very helpful and just good to walk with. We were very fortunate with the weather and the Guide! I believe the Mount of Joy should be a scheduled part of the walk – not a detour – it is a very special place, and the view is breathtaking.” – Rachael, Ireland.

Margaret’s Experience: A Global Gathering

My husband and I recently walked from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela with a Camino Ways group. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences. We had a wonderful group of 12 people from all over the world. Our guide, Manuel, was very helpful and witty. The weather was not too hot. This trip is a must for walking enthusiasts. We’ve already decided to book the Portuguese Coastal route next year. – Margaret, UK.
