We did a 10 day guided tour and walked the last 100 miles of the Camino. I can't say enough about my excellent adventure with Fresco. Great guides, accommodations and the best picnic lunches on the Camino. Good communication before the trip started. Would highly recommend Fresco and we plan on taking another Fresco tour of the Camino next year.
Hi Eric A,
Thank you for hanging in there - you never lost your determination to complete the Camino and you were finally able to embark on your adventure this year! And I am sure you managed to take lots of lovely photos, which I hope you'll share with us when you can. ;)
We look forward to having you join us again soon and hopefully we can meet up again for a glass of vino. Take good care!
Best regards,
I had the most amazing Camino de Santiago experience thanks to Fresco Tours. They exceeded my expectations in terms of service, professionalism, expertise and overall commitment to making sure everyone had an amazing experience. Alissa was so incredibly helpful before (and during!) the trip on logistics, answering questions, etc. And Jeffery and Sandra were 'off the charts' fantastic tour guides. I have recommended Fresco Tours to several friends and family in the few short days since I've been home and I can't wait to take another tour! Thank you Fresco Tours.
Dear 506donw,
I am happy to hear that your Camino was so special! I am sure it was lovely to meet new friends within the group as well as along the trail. That is part of the magic of the Camino - the camaraderie that develops and the joy of new experiences and encounters.
It was lovely to work with you and to meet you, if only briefly. I hope we will have more time on your next tour! Until then take good care!
Best regards,
We recently returned from a self-guided tour on the Camino with a group of women from the US. We had a great experience with Fresco Tours! They made every aspect of our trip easier. The daily maps of the route with restaurant recommendations were especially helpful. If you are planning to walk the Camino, I highly recommend Fresco Tours.
Hola Margaret B,
Great to hear that you enjoyed our restaurant recommendations on our maps! We like to eat and realize that food speaks volumes of a culture, so having a list of our favorite places along the Camino always makes things easier to refuel! Please come join us again in the future - perhaps a guided tour next time where we make our gourmet picnic lunches.....
Thanks for the note - be well and buen camino!
Alex
Walked self guided tour from Ponferrada. It was an epic adventure. Fresco Tours provided outstanding package including daily maps with distance and altitudes, resting stop points, cafes or bars, and great overnight hotels. The staff was very helpful, polite and quick to respond. The hick opened the door to pastoral scenes, forests, rivers and history.
Dear Fernando and Rosa!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I am very happy to know that you had such a positive experience on the Camino with Fresco Tours.
We strive to make every trip as special as possible for our clients from beginning to end...we want the Camino to be a wonderful and memorable experience that will last a lifetime!
Thank you to Rosa again for my beautiful gift...I will treasure it forever!
All best,
Elba
I started from scratch figuring out what I wanted to do el Camino hacia Santiago de Compostela and how. I didn’t know much. Alyssa was our first contact and she was so sweet, patient and diligent. She answered all my questions, handled all my doubts, listened to all my needs/concerns and ideas and helped me to choose which option was best for me and my friends.
Once that was done, we passed to Elba. I think my first email was “I want Alyssa back” 😂 . She took it very candidly and guarantee I was going to feel good with her and she did not lie. She was with us all the way from the very moment we left home to the last minute after we finished the Camino and headed to Barcelona.
Everything was coordinated very well and we did find some hiccups throughout , but she owned each one and helped us resolve without hesitation. The experience was wonderful. I definitely recommend their service.
Dear Margo_Sher,
It was a pleasure working with you and your friends and I am very happy that you were able to embark on this unforgettable journey together!
I know Elba had a great time with you ladies the night you met up and I hope we can do the same in the future. :)
Thank you for traveling with us, and we look forward to meeting you along the trail again soon!
Saludos,
Alissa
Fresco is amazing. The incredible staff treats its clients like family and constantly works to make certain everyone has the best possible time on the trip. My wife and I have walked two of Fresco's unguided caminos and both were superb. Alex and Elba always are ready to jump in and solve problems, like finding lost items or securing medical care for sick or injured pilgrims. On our most recent trip in the summer of 2021, I injured my hand and needed an x-ray. Alex immediately knew the best hospitals along our camino route and guided me to a good resolution. I recommend them without reservation.
Hola Mark!
Great to hear from you and so glad that you and your friends took the steps to come to Europe and walk the Camino with Fresco Tours during the uncertain autumn that we had. In the end, everything seemed to work out and you were able to enjoy the trail and the other pilgrims. It was rejuvenating for me personally to get back on the Camino!
Here's to future walks - take care of yourself.
Abrazos until our caminos cross again,
Alex
