CaminoWays

[Cleigh]

Has anyone used Camino Ways for the route from Le Puy to SJPdP? Just wondering about your experience.

Only from Sarria to Santiago...good experience overall.

I used them on the Camino Portuguese for my first Camino. They did everything they said they would and I was very grateful for all that help as I was solo and a total newbie too overwhelmed to try and manage everything myself. You do pay for that help and it is certainly much cheaper to manage without them. On my second Camino I was confident enough to go independently. But I certainly do not regret using them as it was exactly what I needed and I was happy with the service I received. I opted for easy stages but I did have 2 stages that felt very long at the time; one was 23km and the last was 25.6Km. I made it though and it taught me I could walk further than I expected! I chose the most basic accommodation which did vary but always included my own bathroom. Twice it involved a drive away from and back to the Camino path which I didn't like much because I felt 'out of it' but it was all organised for me, I just had to make phone-calls when I was ready to be picked up. I did like not having to worry about anything other than just walking.

Thank you so much! We are good on our own for the Frances but Le Puy is a bit more daunting for us.

TBH, I am thinking about sketching out a customized Primitivo next year with them ( if they'll work with me.) I have some ideas for interim stops that aren't on the prepackaged itinerary, but want their help for booking at the beginning, middle, and end.

Did you know Cicerone have a guide to this route now? You can get it from Ivar's store here.
