We had a great time walking the Portuguese Camino from Porto. Hotels were good, luggage transfer was flawless and the walking was relaxing and steady every day. And, we had great weather with nothing but sunshine!

Camino Frances with FollowtheCamino

Follow the Camino Booking
I recently used Follow the Camino to organize my Camino walk, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Every arrangement was carefully made according to my instructions, and everything worked exactly as planned.
The logistics were seamless—accommodations, luggage transfers, and route information were all handled with great care and attention to detail. I never encountered a single problem along the way, which allowed me to focus entirely on enjoying the journey.
Their customer service was outstanding: responsive, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout the planning process.
I highly recommend Follow the Camino to anyone considering walking the Camino de Santiago. They made the entire experience effortless and memorable.

The journey with my son was EPIC
The journey with my son was EPIC, the planning and step by step process with Jade was exceptional. Follow the Camino is by far very expensive. I must say there were 2 hotels I definitely won't recommend, the Pension Rua do Medio; and O Cruceiro.

Everything was easy
Everything was easy. Including our accommodation check-in. The accommodations were more than I expected. The meals were great, but the best stay was at Casa Dona Maria.
The only issue we had was the Nature EcoCamp in Beche. It looks like they are still building the facility so signage was not very clear. It is also very remote, so after we arrived the restaurant on site was closed even though the website stated it was open. But the sleeping accommodation was fantastic and toasty. It was cold rainy day when we arrived.
Overall, our representative - Nadia was very helpful and easy to work with. I have recommended this company to others.

We loved our trip to Portugal. The staff was kind and helpful at every turn. I have taken three trips with Follow the Camino. I have been impressed by their responsiveness each time. I recommend Follow the Camino without reservation.

Some poor lodging bookings
First time using Follow the Camino to arrange my lodging, luggage transfer, and dinners for the Camino. I found the FTC staff friendly but their choice of hotels occasionally quite poor.
Most were fine in my ~50 days of walking the Via de la Plata. But some were quite substandard, run-down and distant from the Camino.
Too many had no on-site staff, with instructions to call the manager upon arrival or receive a code to get in the door. On one occasion I arrived, called the hotel manager, only got voice mail, so left a message that I was at the door. Twenty minutes later I called again, again sent to voice mail, so I left another message. Only because his girlfriend just happened to be driving by later and noticed me sitting there could I check in.
At another hotel I was checked in and given instructions and then told to leave the key when I left as the manager had to go to her other job. But after I'd closed the door behind me did I realize I left something in my room! Made some calls and a couple of hours later she was able to return and let me in. I really, really prefer on-site managers.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback, and also for your kind words after completing the Via de la Plata. We are truly delighted to hear that, despite some challenges along the way, you found the experience wonderful and rewarding. Completing the full route is an incredible achievement.
We’re very sorry to hear that some of the accommodations did not meet your expectations. The Via de la Plata passes through very rural and sparsely populated areas, where lodging options can be limited and often family run. That said, the access issues and absence of on site staff you experienced are not the standard we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating that must have been after long days of walking.
Throughout your journey, we did our best to support you as situations arose, arranging additional taxi transfers where needed and refunding the independent taxis you organised so that you were not left out of pocket.
We also appreciate your recognition of the overall organisation of your trip, including luggage transfers and on the ground support. It was a pleasure assisting you throughout this remarkable journey.
Thank you again for sharing both the positives and the areas where we can improve. We truly value your feedback and wish you many more memorable adventures ahead — perhaps even another Camino in the future.
Follow the Camino is Fantastic!
Follow the Camino prepared a lovely package for us based on how we wanted to walk the camino. They were able to reserve our stays ahead of time and transfer our luggage to our next destination. I HIGHLY recommend this way to experience the camino without the stress. They were very professional, friendly, and took care of one blip that occurred on the trip quickly. We will definitely use them again when we train for our next walk.

Jade was really awesome
Jade was really awesome. She made the whole experience very seamless and stress free. Everything from airport transfer to accommodation was meticulously planned, allowing us to focus on the hike as well as rest and recovery. Accommodation was also top notch. We decided to stay at Santiago for a few more days and Jade very willingly helped us with the accommodations as well!

EXCELLENT!
Follow the Camino was excellent. The logistics were seamless, accommodations were well chosen, and everything ran smoothly day to day. It allowed me to focus fully on the walk itself without worrying about details. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning the Camino de Santiago.

We absolutely loved walking the Kamino…
We absolutely loved walking the Kamino Kodo. It was an experience we will always remember and feel very privileged to have done it.
There were a few things we think that could have made our experience even better. We could have been sent the guide book before we left in order to prepare and get excited. Being given it,just as we were about to commence the walk, especially as it was heavy was not very helpful.
The locations of our accommodation and how we would get to them was not very well explained, we had to find this out as we went along.
a nice touch would have been an email before we left, just saying Hi, How are you doing/ Good luck would have been appreciated. Many of our fellow walks had gps apps from their agents showing routes and topography which were very useful.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you absolutely loved walking the Kumano Kodo and that it’s an experience you’ll always remember — it truly is a special and privileged journey.
We also really appreciate you highlighting the areas where we can improve. The Kumano Kodo is one of the newer walks in our product list, and feedback like yours is incredibly valuable in helping us refine the experience for future walkers. We take on board your comments regarding receiving the guidebook earlier, clearer explanations around accommodation locations and transfers, pre-departure communication, and the usefulness of GPS-based route and topography tools.
Please be assured that we will definitely work on these points to improve preparation, communication, and on-the-ground support for future Kumano Kodo travellers. Thank you again for walking with us and for helping us make the journey even better for those who follow.
Definitely not value for money!
Very disappointed with choice of some hotels! We paid a lot of money and sometimes ended up in one star hostals/hotels !!! Definitely not value for money! Transfers and taxi service were good. No evening meals included in price. Would never go with Follow the Camino again simply because of the price!

Beware of this company's draconian…
Beware of this company's draconian cancellation policy. My father died the month we were scheduled to walk the Camino Frances. They grudgingly agreed to carryover 1/2 my deposit to next year, but my spouse died this year making the trip impossible. So, if your plans are ironclad and not subject to change for any life event, good luck. If anything changes, you will be out of luck with this company.
