Transfer company recommendations for CP early March

[SarahRTrew]

Hello! We will be walking from Porto to Santiago March 7-19 and want to arrange bag transfer. Tuitrans and Pilbeo are not operating until later in March. Top Santiago is operating. Just wondering if anyone has used them before and can give a review? Or can recommend another company that is operating that early in the season? Thank you! Sarah

Hi Sarah. We used Top Santiago last April. They were great! They were recommended by our hostal in Porto and everything worked out quite nicely. We were walking the Coastal Route and like clockwork ours bags were picked up in the mornings and were at our next destination by the time we arrived. We paid €8 a bag. Upon arrival each afternoon, I simply contacted them through What’s App at +351915989726 for pickup confirmation for the next day. I wouldn’t hesitate using them again. Bom Caminho!

I walked the Camino Portuguese from Lisbon to Santiago in August/September 2022 with an injured knee, so chose to send my bag ahead each day. Top Santiago were over the top helpful and accommodating. You call them the night before, tell them where you are & where you are going to be the next night and my bag was there every single time. We paid €8 while in Portugal and €6 once we arrived in Spain. You just left the money in an envelope with the same info and that was it. My husband tried to write a review but could not seem to be able to do it anywhere. They were GREAT!

Thank you, DenyseB! Great review! And, yeah, I wasn't able to find reviews for them, so I'm happy you shared! Sarah
