    Recommendations & considerations when selecting a tour operator specialising in self-guided walks

    Questions about using a travel agency

    Totally agree with Nuala, who I had the pleasure of meeting, dining with and walking with on my Camino in May-June 2015. I went with a similar provider (Follow the Camino) a and couldn't fault the process. Good luck and Buen Camino

    Recommendations & considerations when selecting a tour operator specialising in self-guided walks

    Back on the forum and fingers crossed I won’t be “bumped out” today!
