It was the trip of a lifetime. But, just the first. There are more Fresco Tours to take. David and Montse are the most kind hearted, giving, loving, gracious guides I have ever had and I am a veteran of a dozen long term River Rafting tours in the western U.S. I am used to prideful and somewhat surly guides who act like they are Superman or Superwoman because of their physical skills…. How refreshing it was to have two guides that obviously are physically more than accomplished at all tasks and are able to rise to all occasions with kindness, good judgement, tact and a smile.

People say that we do not choose when to walk the El Camino, rather the road chooses for us. I believe this held true for me. With that said, I believe in some way that Fresco Tours beckoned and assured me that my journey would be safe and comforting if I let them be my guide and gently show me direction. It was an honor to meet all the knowledgeable and professional pilgrims from the Fresco family who truly showed me the way with incredible wine, food, history, friendship and accommodations. I am a peaceful pilgrim who extends much gratitude to all at Fresco Tours.

Fresco Tours made my trip memorable more than words can ever describe. From the ease of navigating on the website, to working with Alissa, to the actual walk itself. The accommodations were first class, the food was great (and I admit I am a food snob) and the guides were knowledgeable and personable. I would highly recommend this experience for the cultural and spiritual reasons. Even if you just want to walk it is a great way to see the countryside. I can’t wait to walk the French Camino next year!

Thank you for hosting another wonderful Camino. This was the sixth for me! Although some may wonder how I can take the same tour six times, I can say that for a single traveler who would like the security of group travel along with wonderful food and lodging, it is a “sure thing”! The different groups, Fresco guides, and other pilgrims always add variety to the experience.

We thought it was a great experience. We thought the guides were great and had an impressive commitment to excellence. There were challenges along the way and they dealt with them beautifully. We would highly recommend fresco tours.
