Walking the Camino de Santiago isn’t just a holiday: it’s a journey that leaves a mark on your heart.
But before you lace up your boots, one question always comes up: what exactly is included in a Camino tour package?
At Follow the Camino, we’ve been helping pilgrims take this journey for over 15 years.
We know the details matter: a good bed at the end of a long walk, your bag waiting for you when you arrive, a real person on the other end of the phone if something doesn’t go as planned…
Here’s what’s included when you travel with us.
Pre-Departure Briefing
Before you start your Camino, you’ll receive all the important information you’ll need on your trip: maps, detailed walking notes, contact numbers, and practical advice.
Also, every pilgrim is invited to join our Pre-Departure Webinar — a live session designed to help you feel confident, organised, and excited for your Camino.
In about one hour, our Camino experts will walk you through what to pack, how your Holiday Pack works, tips for check-in and check-out, and how to stay on track along the route. You’ll also get answers to all those last-minute questions that pop up before the journey begins.
It’s your chance to start your Camino fully prepared — not just for the walk ahead, but for the transformation it brings.
24/7 Support & Camino Experts by Your Side
Even though you walk your own path, you’re never truly alone.
Our support team is available 24 hours a day, in case you need help or just reassurance. You’ll also have a dedicated Camino Planner before your trip — a real person who’ll make sure everything runs smoothly.
Accommodation You Can Truly Rest In
Every night, you’ll stay in carefully selected accommodation: small hotels, guesthouses or charming rural homes along the Camino.
We hand-pick every place because we’ve been there ourselves. Rest matters when your body is walking 20 km a day.
You’ll have private rooms with ensuite bathrooms, and you can choose the level of comfort that suits you best:
-
Budget – Simple, clean rooms in local guesthouses or 1–2★ hotels.
-
Comfort – A touch more style, 2–3★ hotels, often with dinner included.
-
Deluxe – 4★ stays or boutique hotels, superior rooms and added extras like airport transfers.
Remember, you can mix and match as much as you like. Want a touch of Deluxe comfort now and then? You’ve got it. Prefer to keep some nights simple and budget-friendly? No problem. We’ll tailor your Camino so every day feels just right for you
Luggage Transfers
You walk free, carrying only your daily bag with your essencials for the day.
We take care of moving your luggage from hotel to hotel, so you only carry what you need for the day. When you arrive, your bag will already be waiting in your room — every single day.
Meals That Fit the Journey
All packages include daily breakfast, and most Comfort or Deluxe routes include dinners as well. Our guided tours include some dinners as well!
You’ll eat fresh, local food — the kind that tastes even better after a day’s walk. Lunch is usually up to you, giving you the freedom to stop wherever the Camino calls you. And don’t worry: your walking notes will include tips and recommendations on where to stop so you don’t miss out our favorite options!
What’s Not Included (and Why)
We believe in clarity. Some things aren’t part of the package — not because we overlook them, but because every pilgrim is different.
You’ll need to arrange your own:
-
Flights or trains to your starting point
-
Travel or cancellation insurance
-
Drinks, lunches, and any extra meals not listed in your itinerary
This flexibility lets you make the Camino truly yours.
Why Choose a Package with Follow the Camino
Because this walk is not just about distance. It’s about presence.
We take care of the logistics so you can focus on the connection — with yourself, with others, with the path.
You’ll walk lighter, sleep better, and feel supported every step of the way.
That’s what’s really included in a Camino tour with us: peace of mind.
