How Many People Will Be on My Trip?
The number of people on your trip depends on the type of Camino experience you choose. If you’re doing a self-guided Camino, there is no set group size. You are free to walk solo or with friends and family. Self-guided tours offer complete flexibility. You can start any day of the year and from just one person. Whether you’re walking alone or as a group, we organise everything — accommodation, luggage transfers, and route information. If you’re planning a private group walk, we can tailor the trip to your group’s needs and preferred dates.

Group Size on Guided Camino Tours
If you choose one of our guided Camino tours, we keep the groups small and friendly. Our guided tours have a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 15 walkers per group. This creates a more personal experience and allows guides to support everyone on the journey. If you’re registering with friends or family, we will ensure you are all placed in the same group. If you are part of a larger group or organisation, contact our travel consultants for a personalised group quote. We’re happy to prepare tailor-made itineraries for schools, charities, companies, or spiritual communities.
Who Will Be Walking with Me?
The Camino brings together people from all walks of life. You may walk alongside solo travellers, couples, families, or groups of friends. Our travellers come from over 40 countries, mainly Ireland, the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia. We also welcome many pilgrims from France, Brazil, Germany, South Korea, and other parts of Asia. Our clients include entrepreneurs, teachers, doctors, students, artists, retirees, newlyweds, and those simply taking time to reflect. The Camino attracts people aged 8 to 80 — from young adventurers to seasoned walkers and everyone in between. You’ll meet people with different stories, beliefs, and backgrounds, often forming lasting friendships along the way.
The Camino Is for Everyone
One of the most beautiful things about the Camino is how open and inclusive it is. It doesn’t matter your age, background, job, or beliefs — the Camino welcomes everyone. Some walk for spiritual reasons, others for fitness, connection, or a break from daily life. You don’t need to be religious, athletic, or experienced — just open to the journey. Whether you’re walking solo, with friends, or joining a guided group, the Camino will meet you where you are. Everyone has their own pace, their own story, and their own reason for walking. On the Camino, you’re never really alone — you’re part of a global community of pilgrims.
