Why Book With Us?

Follow the Camino believes that sustainability is vital to the future of the travel industry. That is why we are constantly working to make our business more eco-friendly. We have recently been bestowed with B-Corp certification, further expressing our commitment to sustainable travel!

Walking and cycling holidays are already much less carbon intensive than many types of holidays by their very nature. Travelling more slowly and with more intention to interact with local people, and support smaller businesses and communities, means a lower carbon footprint.

Of course, there is still an environmental impact generated from our hotels, providing meals, and luggage transport. Follow the Camino calculates and offsets the carbon cost of your journey in the background and uses certified carbon offset projects externally validated by the UN.

At Follow the Camino, we know that embarking on your first Camino experience can be daunting. From the moment you make contact with us until you’re home safe, you’ll be working with your own dedicated Camino Planner.

They will help fine-tune your itinerary to incorporate all of your needs and create a genuine adventure of a lifetime – that’s right, no automated systems or multiple agents. We get to know our clients personally, so we can design your trip with you in mind.

If anything does go wrong, you can call a member of our team 24/7 during your trip. Our multilingual team will get everything sorted out for you, when you need it. Around a third of our clients come back to us for more adventures sooner rather than later because we look after our clients the way we like to be looked after on holiday.

We have a fantastic relationship with our accommodation and transport suppliers, and have been working with many of them for more than 15 years. Just like us, they will go the extra mile to ensure your needs are met. Because we know our suppliers, we can make sure their service is top quality and consistent, and take the guesswork out of your bookings.

These long–term supplier relationships also help us to negotiate great value deals for our clients all across Europe. We know when it is worth an extra couple of euros to go with one hotel over another for a better experience, and when we can save you by booking a local B’n’B with an authentic atmosphere as an alternative. We work with suppliers that take their sustainability responsibilities to heart, ensuring your trip is more eco-friendly.

We know every detail of the 9 main Camino routes through France, Spain, and Portugal. We use GPS tracking technology to make sure that we can answer all of your questions, down to the metre! Our super accurate GPX trails will give you exact distances, altitudes, and more. We can even tell you how many calories you are likely to exert on any given day!

All of this data is incorporated into our route planning and your personalised route notes, giving you peace of mind before travelling. If you have a question, we have the answer!

Put your mind at ease. Our trips are totally flexible and can be customised to suit any pilgrim. We look after everything from itinerary planning to booking hotels, organising luggage transfers and meals, and arranging airport pickups – and each element will be fit for your needs.

You can start your Camino anywhere, walk any route, and customise the kilometres that you cover each day. We can combine walking and cycling, and even accommodate wheelchair users. Our sophisticated booking systems work behind the scenes to accommodate whatever you need. Skip days, add taxi transfers, add extra rest days, and even combine Camino routes and stages to design a totally unique Camino experience.

If you have friends or family joining you on your trip for a few nights, we can add them to your bookings anywhere along the way. Even if they just want to walk a few days with you, or meet you at the end, it is easy to manage their bookings too through one reservation.

Whether you are walking with a group of friends, your extended family, or an organised school or charity group, we make travel easy. It can be stressful trying to manage group payments, transfers, and logistics for multiple people with different requirements. Follow the Camino makes it a breeze.

Whether you would like to pay separately, in pairs, or as a whole group, that can be organised through our Client Area. We can cater to any room sharing arrangements, with single, twin, double and family rooms. We can also arrange luggage transfers, airport pickups, and restaurant bookings for your group tour. Your Camino Planner will work with the group leader to cover every detail and make things run smoothly!

We have a 4.5 star Trip Advisor rating because we go above and beyond for our clients. We were the first Camino tours agency to provide Camino holidays in a flexible and seamless manner – section by section. And after over ten years, we have thousands of happy customers. See what they have to say!

To sum it up, we are committed to becoming the most flexible travel agency for the Camino. If you have already decided to plan your Camino adventure and you want your trip to be well serviced and safe, Follow the Camino is your best choice!
