We have nothing but stellar things to say about Fresco tours. From the point of booking the tour to the completion of the the Camino in Santiago, they were wonderful. We could not have been more pleased with their logsitics, knowledge, and kindnesses on the journey.

Dear rellis22,
It's always great to hear that you enjoyed your time on the trail and with the group!
One of the perks of joining our guided tours is that you can simply enjoy the walk and know that when you get to lunch, for example, it's waiting for you either in the form of a delicious, gourmet picnic with vegetarian options included, or at a restaurant close to the trail.
Additionally, you have the good fortune of having two knowledgeable and experienced guides to lead you along the Camino and provide you with historical and cultural information, as well as moral support you may need to continue the journey. And maybe a few treats as well!
We hope to have you join us again in the future! Thank you for choosing Fresco Tours!
Kind regards,
Alissa J

My wife and I spent 11 enjoyable, memorable days hiking the Camino de Santiago with Fresco Tours. Ana and Roberto, our two guides, were energetic, knowledgeable and pleasant. They prepared us for each day’s hike with local knowledge and memorable insights. There were historic churches, medieval structures, local experiences and “characters of the Camino” we would never have discovered without our guides. They were a joy to have with us. Each night’s lodging was fabulous. The meals were terrific with local specialties ranging from octopus, Don Pedro peppers and calamari. Each day’s hike included a refreshing picnic en route that was prepared by our guides. We were nervous about our ability to hike over 100km, but the pace, camaraderie and unique experiences of each day made it a truly wonderful adventure.

Dear twinkie4104,
Thank you for your feedback and appreciating the special qualities that our guides, Ana & Roberto, contribute to the group. I agree that they are knowledgeable, energetic and pleasant, and love the spirit with which they share all of that with the group and help make the Camino a special experience. We are lucky to have them!
And in case we ever need additional guides, I understand that you may be interested? ;)
All kidding aside, it's lovely to hear that you had a nice time and enjoyed the accommodations, picnic lunches and dinners. And of course, the company of your fellow pilgrims!
And in the end you were able to accomplish this wonderful journey and reach Santiago, and at your own pace! Congratulations!
We hope to see you again in the future and thank you again for traveling with Fresco Tours!
Warm regards,
Alissa J

I don't normally go for group tours, but was very happy I did this 10-day hiking experience with Fresco Tours.The tour guides (Irene and Dora),were excellent and went above an beyond in their abilities to encourage the group, support the group and conquer any of the problems met along the way! They were dynamic, friendly and incredibly good at group dynamics, being very insightful and caring! Wow what a combination! I also wish to acknowledge the support staff, and Alissa for their timely and accurate responses on a wide range of questions we presented her in preparation of and during our tour. It made the experience very smooth, minimizing the stress of travelling! The accommodations and food were excellent! Thank you Fresco for a wonderful experience!

Dear Pierre F,
We are so happy to have had you join us and that you were able to complete this wonderful journey to Santiago in good company! And with savory food and restful nights in enchanting accommodations! :)
Irene and Dora are certainly knowledgeable and experienced guides, but what makes them stand out even more is their attention to detail and always going the extra mile to make the group feel comfortable and happy. They are true stars!
From the office and on behalf of everyone, it was a pleasure for me to work with you in assisting with your travel plans and making the trip worry-free. We try our best to make this possible!
I hope our paths can cross again in the future. Until then, be well and keep on walking!
Warm regards,
Alissa J

Completed a 10 day trip with Fresco Tours and can't say enough about them. Impeccable travel logistics (before and during the trip), friendly, knowledgable, mature tour guides, fabulous food, lovely accommodations and all reasonably priced. Can't wait to do another trip with them.

Fresco did a great job. All of the people we dealt with were helpful and knowledgeable. The guides were the greatest - friendly, helpful and always there to help out. The tour included everything -- no extra costs for meals, drinks etc. Accommodations were good and the food was great. Overall the tour exceeded my expectations.
