    Advice on coastal route from Porto versus internal route

    I made this crossing a couple of weeks ago. The ferry was not running that day, but a fisherman did take me across for five euros.

    Warning about Follow the Camino company

    What other facts do you want? Have I not explained my experience? This is not a complaint about the Camino itself, it is about the company I paid to facilitate my Camino experience.

    Warning about Follow the Camino company

    Just because others have had a good experience does not negate my bad experience. What is your affiliation with Follow the Camino? I am entitled to my opinion and entitled to tell others about my bad experience with this company.

    Warning about Follow the Camino company

    I live in Japan and knew nothing about the Camino, so I thought I was hiring an expert to facilitate my trip. I should have looked into it more and done research into the planning. If I were doing it over again, I would not book Follow the Camino and would just handle it myself. Again, I should...

    Warning about Follow the Camino company

    I recently finished the Portugese Coastal route. I booked with the company Follow the Camino and was very sorry that I did. While enjoyed my walk, I was sorely disappointed with Follow the Camino. I did not receive what I paid for. They booked me in two hotels that were far far away from the...
