And that’s because behind the phone are wonderful people with names and surnames, as Virginia from Rita, one of our travel agents, highlights: “I did the Camino de Santiago in June, from Sarria to Santiago. It was my first time, and since I was going alone, I had many doubts. I called “Camino de Santiago” (which had been recommended to me), where I was attended by a wonderful person, Rita, who listened to me, gave me a thousand tips, helped me with all those doubts, and made me feel supported, knowing that I wouldn’t be alone during my journey (…).”
Joaquín and his family highlight the peace of mind that comes with traveling with us: “We just did the Camino from Tui, and it’s not the first time we travel with them, and there were zero problems.

Zero problems is not a small thing: every accommodation was perfectly organized, breakfast was great, and the luggage always arrived on time… An unforgettable experience.”
Traveling on end-of-year trips to the Camino de Santiago with students can sometimes be daunting due to the great responsibility it involves, but Fray Rafael had a safe and hassle-free school trip with his students and us by his side: “It was a journey with second-year high school students, and they really enjoyed the Camino and the hostels, everything went very well. It was very special for them, the best trip of their lives. Our thanks to Viajes Camino de Santiago for their attention at all times.”
Testimonials from our pilgrims on Trustpilot
We are with you on the Camino, in case there’s any issue during the walk, as Lucía experienced: “Despite the storm and rain, it was a magnificent trip. Perfect organization and fantastic hotels at each location. Once, we got off track and missed the designated route. We called the agency, and they helped us get back on track, even offering a taxi if we wanted. The landscape was beautiful, even more so with the rain. It was a very enriching experience. Thank you, Viajes Camino de Santiago.”
We know perfection doesn’t exist, but Xavier, through Trustpilot, gives us top marks for the exquisite organization of his Camino: “11 out of 10. Everything. Everything, everything, and EVERYTHING was totally PERFECT! No complaints and nothing to improve. From the first minute to the last! Super good service and excellent organization. Everything was great!”
And that’s because we work to make sure you enjoy this experience, as Enca says: “My experience with Viajes Camino de Santiago has been excellent. I went alone and always felt accompanied. If you want peace of mind and safety, this is your company. The hostels are very well located, at the entrance of each destination. The luggage organization was flawless, and the cleanliness, service, and attention were unbeatable. There’s a lot of hard work behind all of this. I want to thank the company, Galicia, and all the people I met on the Camino for the fantastic experience full of miracles and unforgettable surprises. A magical destination! Highly recommended.💚”
We don’t just organize trips; we create emotions and memories for a lifetime
We surprise our pilgrims with our flagship trip: the Camino de Santiago in an Organized Group , where our monitors and expert Camino de Santiago guides exponentially enrich the travel experience. The testimonials from our pilgrims highlight the quality of the accommodations and the safety guarantee we provide on these trips, as well as the great vibe that is created among the group participants, pilgrims who don’t know each other and become friends for life. And it’s not just what they say about us, but what they share about their personal experience during this highly satisfying journey.
Jean Pierre and Sofía explain their motivations and expectations for walking the Camino together. Jean Pierre mentions that his main motivation was curiosity and the opportunity to experience this journey as a family, while Sofía initially had doubts about the difficulty of the route. Both decided to do it in a group with us, which provided them with proper planning and logistical support. So far, they highlight the most positive aspects of the journey as the views, the silence, and the opportunity for personal introspection. They both agree on recommending the experience to anyone thinking of doing it, emphasizing that it is a unique opportunity for personal reconnection.
Elia initially feared walking the Camino alone, but she decided to join an organized group trip to enjoy the experience without being completely alone. This allowed her to discover herself while meeting wonderful people, creating a balance between moments of personal introspection and enriching companionship. Before starting, she had typical concerns, such as not knowing exactly what to bring or worrying about the physical effort. However, she quickly adapted, finding the views and landscapes of the Camino to be a constant source of motivation and enjoyment. The trip was like a therapeutic experience, full of opportunities for growth and connection, both with herself and others. To those still unsure about walking the Camino, Elia encourages them to take the leap without overthinking it. It is a transformative and enriching experience, one she would undoubtedly repeat in the future. For her, the Camino is a unique opportunity in life.
Laura, who had already walked the Camino de Santiago years ago, decided to repeat the experience because, in her words, “it was one of the best experiences” of her life. Each Camino is unique, and she recommends that those who have already done it return, as it always brings something new and special. With her previous experience, she aimed to avoid physical discomfort but approached this second time with a positive attitude, ready to enjoy the journey. She traveled with a friend and chose an organized group to meet more people and enrich the experience. She highlights the human connections, the gastronomy, and small pleasures like having a beer after walking. She also praised the kindness of the guide, Carmen. She encourages everyone to do the Camino, assuring that it leaves a lasting impact for life.
Patricia decided to embark on the Camino de Santiago to disconnect from her routine. Her goal was to step away from responsibilities, schedules, and her phone, as if being on “a deserted island without being on an island“. She feared getting lost, so she chose to walk the Camino in a group, which provided her with security and a balance between independence and companionship. Halfway through the French Way, she highlights that the best part has been the peace, a breath of fresh air from the intense routine in Madrid. She encourages those who are hesitant to give it a try and overcome their fear, reminding them that only by trying something will they discover if they truly enjoy it. Her advice is clear: “If you’re afraid, do it afraid“.
Irene decided to embark on the Camino de Santiago driven by her desire to explore northern Spain and reconnect with her Galician roots, as her grandmother is from Galicia. Additionally, she loves hiking, although she had never experienced multi-day routes before, so she wanted to try this personal challenge. Before starting, her main fears were the possible blisters that could arise during the journey and the concern about how she would connect with other people. However, so far, she has managed to avoid physical issues and has had a very positive experience regarding social interactions. She chose to join an organized group, even though she was traveling alone, seeking the safety and support that companionship provides, as well as the opportunity to meet other pilgrims with whom to share this unique experience. For her, the Camino has been the perfect combination of personal discovery and connection with others.
Carlota decided to do the Camino de Santiago with a friend after wanting to do it for a long time. For both of them, this was the perfect moment to reconnect after a year apart. They agreed that it was the ideal opportunity to experience it together. Carlota had concerns about enduring the walk and connecting with others, but once on the Camino, the fears disappeared, and all that was left was to enjoy. For her, the best part has been the people; more than the place, she highlights the importance of who you share the experience with. Fascinated by the positive energy of pilgrims from all over the world, she traveled in a group with her friend to feel accompanied and create new connections. To those who are still undecided, Carlota leaves a clear message: “You will never be younger than today“, encouraging others to seize the moment and take the step, convinced that if you’re thinking about it, now is the right time to live this unique experience.
The excitement of arriving in Santiago with us
And at the end of the Camino, when reaching the Plaza del Obradoiro, the emotions that have been building throughout the journey emerge from the deepest part of our pilgrims. Hugs, tears of joy and emotion, and a feeling of complete personal satisfaction fill the hearts of our walkers. And as they say, it’s something that everyone must experience to understand it, because words are not enough to explain what it means to walk the Camino de Santiago.
I don’t have many words, it’s amazing
The guides treated me wonderfully. Don’t miss them
It’s something that can’t be transmitted
They say that those who do the Camino de Santiago repeat, and I’m going to repeat the experience
It’s truly worth all the effort
Friends we’ve made on the Camino and… it adds so much
The people you meet on the Camino, the atmosphere in the hostels
On a human level, a very clean atmosphere
When you’re on the Camino, your feet just flow on their own
A tremendous contrast of emotions
It’s hard to tell, you have to live it
They (referring to pets) enjoy it a lot
Seeing landscapes and areas that are very different from what you’re used to seeing
Everyone talks to everyone
I didn’t want the days to keep passing, I wanted them to stop
To find things I had forgotten and lost, and I wanted to share them
