Our ten days could not have been better. What made it the best were our two guides, David and Dora. By golly, in every way they were more than outstanding, in caring of us, teaching us the history, sharing how to experience the Camino, helping us when we needed help, laughing with us and just being great hosts. Our accommodation was superb, the food was almost too good and the experience has been superlative.

Awesome experience on the kinder Camino de Santiago. 3 years ago myself and 2 other friends discussed walking the Camino, ultimately 6 of us just completed walking the Camino. None of us envisioned how well we would be taken care of from the initial planning via email to final completion. I have been totally impressed by the thoroughness and follow through of each request, hotels prior to and after (we did some sight-seeing in Madrid and Santiago), train tickets and a food tour were arranged by Alissa. The tour guides, Piero and Roberto, made this walk special via their knowledge, enthusiasm, ever watchful care (myself and another friend walked very slowly), changes due to weather were seamlessly made, the evening meeting kept our group informed of the next day walk with a printed plan, and the picnic lunches by Piero superb. Our bus driver, Raul, also provide safe travel. The restaurants and evening accommodations excellent. Needless, to say Fresco tour made this a wonderful and unforgettable experience with friends.

My Camino de Santiago with Fresco Tours was one of the most amazing experiences in my life. I completed their Kinder Camino on October 5, 2018 and have only wonderful things to say about this journey. From the moment I booked my tour with Fresco Tours, I knew that I made the right decision. Alissa, their coordinator, took care of every detail and always took care of my requests. Hector and Alis, our guides, were superb. I knew immediately that I was in good hands with them. They taught us so much about the Camino and so much about their beautiful country. As a single woman in my 60’s, I highly recommend Fresco Tours for the Camino de Santiago.

We booked our tour with Fresco Tours on the recommendation of a friend and after looking at several other tour companies – we are so happy we did! Hovering around 60 years old and in good physical condition, we wanted a Camino experience that challenged us physically and spiritually, but still provided flexibility to walk at our own pace, be with a group or not for meals and sight seeing, transported our luggage, and selected comfortable lodging each night. Fresco Tours did all of this and more, flawlessly. We felt that the 200 km tour was just the right length to get into the pilgrim groove but not too long as to occupy all of our vacation time. We were very fortunate that the seven other pilgrims who shared our itinerary were wonderful people and became close friends during the walk. Although, with research one could select and book the hotels on their own and arrange for luggage transfer, it was very comforting to know that Fresco Tours was just a phone call away if problems presented, which they didn’t. If you are thinking of hiking the Camino, look at what Fresco Tours offers – you will be glad you did.

My friend and I just finished the Kinder Camino with Fresco Tours. It was fantastic. The food, guides, places we stayed were really good. It was seamless in all ways. Everything was very well planned. And Alex, the owner of Fresco Tours showed up and walked with us one day. What a treat! My friend and I are from Louisiana and we quickly learned that Galician flat is not the same as La. flat. But we did it! Great trip in every Way!

I’m still processing my Camino, but Fresco Tours did a great job for us.

My wife and I — and several friends from college — did a 200 km self-guided trip with Fresco Tours starting in Ponferrada, Spain and ending in Santiago. The hotels were good to great, which you have to expect walking across Northern Spain. They managed luggage transfers from hotel to hotel splendidly. And when we had issues, such as a lost t-shirt or sunglasses, Fresco Tours stepped up and found the items and forwarded them to our hotels downstream. How cool is that?

Our best experience happened when one of our friends had a medical issue. Fresco Tours arranged for my friend to meet with a doctor and then rent a car when it became clear he could not continue walking the Camino.

I cannot say enough good things about Fresco Tours. When I return to Spain, and I will, my first call will be to Fresco Tours. They look after their clients.
