    Travel agency suggestions?

    Looking for pro/cons of the travel agencies I know about ... Macs, SantiagoWays, Orbis, GaliWonders, TuBienCamino. And any others I haven't found.

    My experience using booking agency for accommodation & bag transport

    FYI I used Santiago Ways to book accommodation & transport main bag along the Francés in June. They were good except one accommodation that did not pick us up when we called as instructed. Santiago Ways had told us to call Casa Roan when we got to Ventas de Naron as the accommodation was 8km...
  11. Have You Heard of This Company?

    Does anyone know of the company FOLLOW THE CAMINO? Still considering companies to book with as I have posted before but in doing research I have become a bit more confident in doing it myself, until someone mentioned this company and said they are the best. Just thought I would ask.
