Excellent Fresco Tour!
From the time we started thinking of Fresco Tours, with Alissa's efficiency and detailed answers to all our questions- we were already impressed!
But more so when we started the Walk. Jeffrey Barrera and Jaume Romera were very professional and attentive to all our needs. They are excellent pair.
Hotel and food selection (exceptional)

Dear emmadeguzman,
Great to hear from you and thank you for your kind words! I really do have a wonderful team! It all starts with Alissa, who sets the tone for the rest to come. She truly is a tour angel that gets you ready for your journey. Jeffery and Jaume keep the ball rolling and do an outstanding job looking out for the group while on the trail. We've always said that attention to detail is important - taking care of all the little things adds up to a lot! Having them both on a tour gives you two different perspectives of all the things that you see along the Way. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your travels to Fatima - thank you again for choosing Fresco Tours!
Saludos from Spain,
Alex

Dear SandyMo2014,
Happy to hear that you enjoyed your Camino Portugues adventure! With the nice weather, it's even nicer to be able to enjoy a gourmet picnic prepared by your guides! :) And our guides always try to ensure that they can accommodate any dietary restrictions or plan ahead for anyone with food allergies.
Thank you for your feedback and we wish you a Buen Camino!
Best regards,
Alissa

The Camino, the Way, the Journey, what truly matters is not getting to Santiago but the journey there. The experience is a personal one, time to reflect, time to soul search, time to find your own way. Fresco tours took care of all the details and enabled me to enjoy my journey. Our guys Jason and Alis were fabulous. It was also great to share some time with Alex and Sandra. I would highly recommend this group to anyone entertaining the thought of doing the Camino

Hola Fernando!
It was great fun meeting you in Leon and having dinner together. I'll always remember your story about "I appologize" :)
On a more serious note, muchas gracias for the kind words. Jason and Alís do a wonderful job of caring for you without hovering / respecting your space on the trail while making sure your needs are taken care of. A delicate balance that they do so well!
Keep us posted on your next trip to Spain to visit family and friends - we'd love to see you again!
Abrazos,
Alex

Fresco Tours is incredibly organized and delivers high-quality service at every moment. Accommodations, meals and local insights made this one of our favorite vacations ever. Of course the actual hike/experience is magical.

Dear DaveDNA,
Thank you for your feedback - we are thrilled that you enjoyed your time on the Camino Portugues!
We enjoy going the extra mile if possible, for example with early morning coffee. :) Glad you liked the meals, especially when you can have gourmet picnics for lunch and lovely dinners at some of your accommodations in the evenings!
We hope you'll continue walking and enjoy the magic on your own Camino!
Kind regards,
Alissa
