We opted for the Fresco Tours 115km self-guided option from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela, and it was an amazing experience. We wanted the flexibility of going at our own pace and choosing our own mealtimes/evening activities, and this worked perfectly. We could have walked just the 2 of us, but after the Orientation Dinner, we got along so well with the other people we met that we ended up sticking together for the entire week. The mileage of 12-15 miles per day was just right ..... challenging enough to feel a sense of achievement, but plenty of time to stop and admire the scenery and have a leisurely lunch-break. Elba was amazing during the booking process and helped us with additional hotel bookings before and after the tour. Alissa was wonderful once we arrived in Sarria. Both ladies really went out of their way to make this a very special vacation. It was awesome. Beautiful scenery, great accommodation and an experience I will always remember. Thank You, Fresco Tours!

I really cannot say enough positive about Fresco tours. From the quick response to my initial inquiry, to the organization and support throughout planning, to the knowledgeable and friendly tour guides and the overall travel/logistics coordination experience, they are truly outstanding.
I joined the group as a solo traveler and never worried about one thing because everything was thought of and very well executed.
Buen Camino!

We couldn't imagine going on the Camino any other way than with Fresco Tours. We are typically, "go it our own way travelers," however, we had no idea how to navigate our way, so we signed up on Fresco Tours to walk a section of the Camino, which was a long-standing goal for both of us to accomplish. Unfortunately, we needed to cancel the time we had planned last year, and Fresco Tours (Alissa was so helpful!) accommodating changes of our dates to go this May. Every part of our trip was expertly planned and thought through; from meeting the tour guides (Raul and Jaume), and starting in Leon with its amazing history and current vibrancy, to the last steps in Santiago de Compostella, we were taken care of like family. They were there to give us hugs and congratulate us there on the spot of the scallop shell in the plaza. Each evening we got our maps and rest stops and lunch spot for the day, and were guided with enough space to feel that we were on our own to explore and walk at our own pace. Raul and Jaume explained the history and were in constant contact with each person in the group and made sure we had everything we needed; especially food and drink stops. The picnics they prepared were so delicious and fresh, and when the weather didn't allow for it, we dined in family inns that had fresh and delicious food. They let me borrow a set of walking sticks; which I bonded with and made it possible for me to really enjoy the hikes, and they checked in all the way through to see how I was feeling. Alex joined our group for the last 4 days and he was so generous and had such pride in our tour and wanted each one of us to have a once in a lifetime experience. When we arrived at each inn, Alex, Raul and Jaume were greeted like long-lost family, getting hugs and the best treatment possible for our stay. They anticipated every need we may have for food, water, rest stops and pacing ourselves along the trail. It was great to learn the local history in each town and village, as you could walk past them and have no idea what you were seeing. Each country inn we stayed in was filled with jaw dropping charm, comfort, modern accommodations and fresh/local food and wine that was lovingly served by the family. We learned about all the local culture of Galicia, and got to experience the beautiful land with people farming with basic tools and seeing animals of all types: goats, sheep, chickens, cows/bulls, storks, and birds singing all day. The group was so supportive, funny and diverse and we truly helped each other meet our daily goals for our hikes. If you are thinking of walking the Camino; I strongly encourage you to go the Fresco Tour way!
