Customer Reviews

Just finished my first visit to Spain, and my first excursion with Fresco Tours. I would highly recommend them. They arranged for my non-escorted tour on the Camino de Santiago, and everything was superb. Their help with pre-trip planning and questions was invaluable. They were extremely well organized, and made the process so easy.

Once on the Camino, the information they provided in the orientation packet was exactly what was needed to plan each day’s hike. And the hotels they reserved for us along the Road were clean, modern and offered great food options.

The Fresco Tours staff is absolutely dedicated to making the Camino experience the best possible… I’ve already recommended them to friends, and plan to use them again.

Really enjoyed the Camino, I travelled solo and Fresco Tours did a great job organizing. Great hotels and detailed maps. Carol Unger my Fresco Tours representative was very helpful too!

Our recent Camino was our 2nd with Fresco Tours. I couldn’t think of anyone else to walk with especially after an unforgettable first Camino in May 2017. What struck me most was the heart and warmth of the staff of Fresco Tours, from the time we first contacted them to during the walk and after. My sister and I were touched by the hospitality and most of all, the care for our 84 year old father during his 1st Camino and again, recently. Papa had a wonderful and joyful time. Fresco Tours made our Camino and time in Spain so very special.

My college roommate and I decided to celebrate our 70th birthday year and our 50 year friendship by walking the last 115K of the Camino. We began our self-guided tour in Sarria and walked for 6 days to Santiago. The Camino was amazing. Daily walking the path through villages, meadows, forests and rural roads was meditative and awe inspiring. The accommodations arranged by Fresco Tours staff were welcomed and comfortable. Each day’s map grounded me with helpful and thorough information. Our send off meal and orientation with David in Sarria was awesome. Thank you all at Fresco Tours.

It has been 17 days since we ended our Camino with Fresco Tours and 8 days since we said goodbye to Spain from Barcelona. But I am still missing the experience and time I shared with my sister, Michelle and my dad, Michael, our fellow pilgrims, Veronica, Shanna, Simon, Eduardo, Rita, Jill and our wonderful guides from Fresco Tours, Ana and David.

The experience touched my very soul and until today I am still reflecting on those very special 9 days that I will always hold close to my heart.

Before I left for the Camino, I spoke with a friend who had just returned from the Camino. When I mentioned we were going with Fresco Tours, she said, “Oh! You will be well taken care of because they are the Rolls Royce of the Camino!” I was already impressed that she had heard of Fresco Tours and even more surprised by her comment. Few in Singapore have gone for the Camino and for those that I know of, they were mostly self-guided and led by a priest from Singapore.

After experiencing the Camino with Fresco Tours first hand, I must say Fresco Tours is even more than the Rolls Royce of the Camino. I have never experienced others but its a tough act to follow.

Coming from a background that involved event management, I could see how much thought was put into the whole design of this tour and most of all the hard work that comes before, during and after. You have an amazing team. What makes Fresco Tours a few notches above the rest I would say are the people.

Alissa has been such a pleasure to correspond with, even though most of the time she was corresponding with Michelle, I was following silently, she was always ready to help and always reverting so promptly.

Ana and David, they captivated me with their knowledge of the country, culture, history of Spain and the Camino. But what impressed me most was their attention to detail and to the needs of each of us. This touched me very much. Always professional so very hardworking, but what sets them apart from other guides is their sincerity, care and concern.

Last but not least, a special mention to 3 lovely ladies who we would not have known about if Ana and David had not mentioned them to us at our last dinner together. Patricia, Mireia and Sandra, the unsung Heroes, their hard work could be seen in the organization and efficiency of the entire tour. I am sure they were the backbone of the tour.

On behalf of Michelle, my dad and myself – Thank you Alex and an outstanding team for an unforgettable and life-changing experience on the Camino.

Fresco Tours is more than the Rolls Royce of the Camino for me because it sparkles and stands out amongst all the others.

What an extraordinary walk. Fresco Tours does everything right! Do not hesitate to choose them. I just returned from July 2018.
