Mary-Jo
New York – April 2025
“My Coastal Tour with Camino Companions was amazing! Each day ended with exceptional meals showcasing local produce and luxurious accommodations that felt like a true reward after walking. The boat trip to Cies Island was just incredible. I was introduced to Albariño wine, which I absolutely loved! Highly recommend for a seamless, gourmet Camino experience.“
Helen and Mike
Connecticut – May 2025
“We booked our first Camino tour with Camino Companions to celebrate Mike’s retirement, and it exceeded every expectation. The small-group setting felt intimate, and the accommodations were a dream. We enjoyed the rest day in Pontevedra – the museum, with its medieval and Renaissance art collections, is also worth a visit. It was the perfect way to mark a new chapter.”
Benjamin and Ruth
Sydney – June 2025
“Camino Companions took care of every detail during our Camino experience. We’ve been talking about this for years but wanted to have that extra level of comfort and also experience the local food and wine in a way that otherwise would not be possible. The fact that André is originally from Sydney was a great coincidence. If you are looking for that extra level of quality while still experiencing the Camino Pilgrimage, these guys offer a great service.”

“I rarely get time to step back and reflect. Camino Companions seamless planning, expert guides, and luxurious boutique stays gave me the space to think without any distractions. From private transfers to gourmet meals, every detail was handled with care. It was more than a walk – it was a chance to reset, and I highly recommend it for anyone needing some time to reflect and plan for the future.”
John and Mary
UK – April 2025
“We wanted a Camino experience that went beyond the ordinary, and Camino Companions delivered just that. The personalized attention and wellness support made every step feel special. Walking with a small group of like-minded travellers was a joy, and the attention to detail was impeccable. Villa Boutique Hotel 1880 was just incredible. It was the refined, stress-free pilgrimage we’d hoped for, and we’ve been recommending it to all our friends.”
