I am planning on walking the last 100 km of the Camino Frances in July. This is something I've wanted to do for quite some time and I'm committed to doing it this year. I initially didn't really have any fears about doing this journey alone. It's only the last section. But, after reading scary stories about bed bugs and listening to the concerns of my dear friends and family, I've looked into a few different tours that I could take vs. doing it all by myself. It wouldn't be the same experience I'm sure, but would ensure that I would be surrounded by others in the event of an unlikely emergency or difficult situation. I would also have the comfort of knowing that I'm going to sleep in a halfway decent place each night. Since this forum is a place to connect with new and experienced Camino hikers, what are your thoughts on traveling alone vs. with a tour group?
