Mary (Party of 15) - May 2012- Ireland

We can’t recommend this company highly enough. The staff were always helpful friendly and knowledgeable and the organisation flawless. The accommodation was comfortable, and without exception the staff were welcoming and obliging. The holiday was a great experience – a wonderful way to see Galicia and we can’t wait to book again to walk another section of the Camino.

John and Rachel - April 2012- England

I think all 8 of us were really pleased with the accommodation and the food. Our first evening meal (2nd day) and breakfast were fantastic, all home made and lots of it! It was a high marker for the rest but nobody disappointed. A beautiful section to walk, with sea, mountains, woodlands and a very tranquil time to go. It was great not to have to carry luggage.

Elaine (organiser of a group of 8) - March 2012- Ireland

We travelled as a group of 13 and had a great time, would recommend walking this route. We had a trouble free trip with luggage transferred and accommodation organized without mishap. Thanks to Follow the Camino on a great job!!

Kerry (organiser of group of 13) - March 2012- Australia

Dear Follow the Camino, What an amazing experience the trip (guided tour, section 8 of the French Way) turned out to be! Our guide, Elaine Jones, was absolutely wonderful. She was ever-prepared, efficient, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and really took care of all of us throughout the trip. The accommodation and meals were excellent. The people were wonderful. By the time we reached Santiago, we were one big family. Thank you very much for arranging the logistics of the trip so well. I hope to come back to Santiago again, and would definitely book with Follow the Camino again. Buen Camino!

Georgia - May 2012- Switzerland

This is probably the first time in a while that I can honestly say on finishing a trip that I had nothing to complain about! The organisation of all aspects were superb from taxi pick up at the airport to accomodation and meals to luggage transfer. Many thanks to all of the Follow the Camino crew

Jacinta O'Reilly and party - September 2011- Dublin, Ireland

Excellent accommodation and trip planning. All the places we stayed and the meals we ate were first rate. Transportation provided was on time and professionally rendered. Our team of 5 had a marvelous time hiking the Portuguese Camino.

Edward (Team of 5), October 2011- USA

A great experience. Well organised. October is a great time to go - weather was lovely, not too hot. Beautiful countryside and met great people. Buen Camino.

Richard, October 2011- Ireland

We had another fantastic time on our walk. The organization of our accommodation and luggage transfers was excellent.Help was only a phone call or email away.Thanks for making our holiday so enjoyable and hassle-free.

Michelle, October 2011- Autralia

The notes were informative and valuable. A minor problem at one hotel was fixed immediately when we contacted the One Foot helpline. How an organisation responds to a problem is a good test of its integrity and reliability. I loved the holiday and was very impressed at how well everything went. It was also excellent value for money.

Graham, October 2011- Australia

All the staff at 'Follow the Camino' were very helpful, the organisation and administration of my Tour (Section 8 of the French Way) went very well and our guide, Elaine, was excellent.

Barry, October 2011- England

One Foot Abroad took all the worry out of our pilgrimage on the Camino. Our accommodations were booked and each day when we arrived tired from several hours of walking, we were always happy to see our luggage waiting for us. Most of the accommodations were right on the trail and the food was excellent. We would definitely book with this company again in the future.

Paula, October 2011- Canada

We truly enjoyed our hike from Sarriia to Saniago de Compostela. The trip was spiritually uplifting and a great adventure for myself and my husband. Food and accommodation was excellent. One Foot Abroad did an amazing job to ensure our trip was worry-free and a memorable one. Thank You.

Edissa, October 2011- Canada

The opportunity to enjoy the Camino without a camelload of luggage on your back and frantic search for the next free albergue.

Małgorzata, August 2011

We are in our 60s and there were some challenges, but nothing really too difficult. wonderful experience! Very scenic and beauriful section of the camino with good signage. A memorable cross section of Basque culture with good accomodation, great food and wine, and wonderful people. One foot abroad was also extremely helpful. We had to call them once when we lost our voucher and forgot the name of the hotel in Getaria. Mucho bueno vistas, lovely beaches and mountains...charming small towns, chruches and cafes...me gusto mucho. thanks again and buen camino!

Michael and Mary Jean - September 2011- USA

The whole holiday was extremely well organised. Everything was taken care of. Our guide, Elaine, was excellent -friendly, good humoured, energetic, and easy going. Her good natured attitude, thoughtfulness and local knowledge made for a memorable holiday. I cannot recommend her too highly - she was fantastic ! I'd choose another holiday with her as our guide.

Jill, September 2011- Great Britain

Follow the Camino did an excellent job in making my Camino experience and my mother's exceptionally memorable. They are a first class operation and I was very impressed with the flawless transfers and excellent accommodations along the Camino.

Shawn - September 2011- USA

loved it--took the Easy day trip from sarria as i have a bad back--had to stop every 300 meters and rest and do yoga stretches, but made it--was really nice to have it be organized so well and run like clockwork--i couldn't have walked around hoping to find shelter each night--even though they call it easy, it is not without its challenges, but of course that brings the rewards.we are all fit and over 60, but very happy not to be walking 28-30 km/day--could relax almost every afternoon. wonderful

Bob, September 2011- Canada

Would love to thank you for the wonderful arrangement that you have done for my group. They all loved the hotels and the meals that you arranged! It was marvelous! After 1 week in Madrid for the World Youth Day, what really fulfilled our trip was the Camino walk.
Would love to work further with you in future for future pilgrimage.

Thomas (Organiser Group of 16), September 2011

I just wanted to let you know that your service was exceptional, excellent, awesome, thoughtful, etc..My husband Edgardo and I did the FR8 to Santiago and every accommodation was more than I expected, the food outstanding.  We had the time of our lives.  Now we are planning our next walking holiday.
Thank You for making this vacation the best ever.

Acacia, August 2011

We are back from Santiago and all went really well. We would like to thank you and all at Follow The Camino / One Foot Abroad for organizing a perfect trip. The Hotels, transfers, meals and luggage transfers were perfect. It could not have been better!
Thank you to everyone and good wishes

Perdita, July 2011

I just wanted to drop a note and let you know what a great experience I had using your company's services for the Camino de Santiago.  My friend, Linda and I just recently returned from our Camino.  It was excellent.  The hotels along the route were lovely; the food was great and best of all was our guide, Elaine.  She was such a joy to be with.  She was so knowledgeable, charming, and knew how to give us our independence on the Camino, while also checking in with us throughout our daily walks.  I know that my Camino would not have been as enjoyable if I were doing it on my own.  She is a great asset to your company.  I will recommend your services to all my friends.

Ellen, July 2011

I would just like to thank you on behalf of our group for a marvelous experience on our recent Follow the Camino break. Everything ran very smoothly - even the baggage transfers which I have to admit we were a little dubious about at the start! All hotel staff were very friendly and made us feel very comfortable (we especially liked the little apartment in Rua and the lovely traditional food - even if some people nearly died when they realized they had eaten octopus!

Mairead, (Catholic Guides of Ireland Group), September 2011

My trip was superb in every way (and I was able to walk it all, which was a very great thing for me.)  I loved every one of the hotels... the people were lovely and the food was good.  And my luggage was always, miraculously there, with no anxiety or fuss.  I have already recommended Follow The Camino to a number of people.

Thank you, Susan, for a wonderful experience.  Your patience and kindness had a great deal to do with the success of my trip.

Jerri, July 2011

Just a quick thank you for organising the last 110km to santiago for us!! Everything went smoothly, luggage transfers, accommodation. Everything was extremely comfortable .... I cannot complain about anything!!!! Keep up the good work

Dr. John Hannan, June 2011

I was very impressed by your help and professionalism from the moment I enquired about the trip. Working out the details was made very easy and the information received beforehand was very helpful. Everything went very smoothly on the trip The accommodation was a very good choice. I especially loved the hotel in Portomarin. The baggage transfer was a godsend and went very smoothly. The staff in all the hotels were very pleasant and I even saw a photograph of our President on the restaurant wall in Hotel De Teodora. The walks were beautiful and the opportunity to meet up at the various cafes on the route was great. We met such lovely interesting people on the route and hope to meet with them again.

 Overall a fabulous experience and I would recommend your company to anybody interested in doing the camino.
 Well done to you and all the staff.

 

Geraldine, June 2011

I enjoyed this holiday much more than I could have imagined. It was extremely well planned and the group were just great.

Nuala, September 2011

I am back home after enjoying tremendously walking the First Section of the French Way with the logistics taken care of by Follow the Camino/One Foot Abroad organization. Overall, the organization and details were outstanding with excellent hotel choices, reliable and very professional transfer services, concise and very helpful walking notes, delivered items arriving on time and in good condition, and overall phenomenal customer service communication. I am extremely pleased with the services and would recommend wholehearterdly and without hesitation-- so much so in fact that upon return my first order of business was to check the Follow the Camino website for their other itineraries!  Again, Follow the Camino is EXCELLENCE in one word!

Maria, June 2011

Four of us did the final section of the french way to Santiago and we had a ball!! We made so many friends along the way and it was so interesting to hear other people's reasons for doing the walk and to hear how they were finding it. When we reached Santiago, we hugged each other and cheered!! It felt like a great achievement to us and we were all on such a high! We had never done a walking holiday before and we all loved it - we'll definitely be doing more sections of this walk as it's so well organised. Thanks for everything!

Imedla, September 2011

We are now back home in the U.S. from Spain, and want to tell you how very very much we enjoyed walking the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, starting in Sarria.  Your logistical support was outstanding.  The preparatory material was very helpful, the luggage transfer flawless (please thank Benjamin for us), and the hotels/board mostly excellent. We were surprised at how nice the hotels were - they were almost all much better than we expected - nice comfortable rooms, lovely surroundings, great food.

Altogether it was a wonderful, memorable experience.  Thank you for helping make it so great. We look forward to recommending "Follow the Camino" to our friends.

Nancy and Cliff, May 2011

We have just returned from the Camino and I must say that both my wife and myself enjoyed the Camino very much. The organisation was excellent, and the group of people who were with us were a very nice and good company.We also liked the accommodation,and were quite impressed with the choice of the hotels, especially where cleanliness is concerned. We also thouroughly enjoyed the walk.

I must mention how excellent our guide,Noel ,was. What a lovely man ,always ready to help out. He led the party very efficiently, always with a smile and nothing was a problem for him. He is a great guide.We will certainly recommend your Company to our friends,and maybe we will do the walk again next year.

Thanks for everything and best regards

Winston, May 2011

As for all the FTC arrangements, everything is going perfectly and the accommodation is fantastic - exceeding my expectations.

Lee, May 2011

Just a quick note to say many thanks for facilitating me on my Camino. Everything went so well from the start thanks to all your hard work in selecting hotels, arranging transport for my luggage and providing such comprehensive walking notes. It was a tough walk, but it would have been tougher without your excellent service.
Thank you,

Adrian, April 2011

Thoroughly enjoyed my walking holiday along the Camino de Santiago. The lodging was generally first rate and the luggage transfer went off without a hitch which is also very nice. I was very impressed with the meals provided and found the Walking Notes very useful. I highly recommend this trip. Kudos to the Team for their friendly professionalism.

Ed, March 2011

Back safely late last night -Susan
We had a FABULOUS  trip - loved it (only 1 blister amongst us 3!)and will do more in furture- your admin worked perfectly- the bags , the hotels etc...it was wonderful...

Andy, June 2011

Having now completed our Camino pilgramage I would have no hesitation in saying it was one of the most enjoyable trips I have experienced. Our group of four contributed immensely to the experience but the oil which allowed the whole adventure to run so smoothly was provided by Follow the Camino. The organisation from the planning to the implementation was excellent topped off with our stay in the parador in Sanitago. A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE ORGANISED BY A UNIQUE COMPANY!

Bob, May 2011

As a 60-year-old woman wanting to take a solo walk, this was the perfect way for me to experience the camino. Thank you !

 


Elizabeth, September 2010

One Foot Abroad was an important factor in making my experience on the Camino and first walking holiday an unforgettable journey. I was traveling alone on a self guided tour, but felt I had the team's support through out. They were always available to answer the few questions I had and that was reassuring. My driver from the airport in Sarria, Benjamin, was an expert guide I should say and he too was of such great help in preparing me for what was to come. Most of the hotel/sleeping accommodations surpassed my expectations, each with their own charms and particularities. Everything I must say was well organized and I had no issues with my luggage along the way( that wasvery important for me). I would recommend that any friend or family entrust their future walking holidays to One foot Abroad. Thank so much guys!!

 

Stephanie, September 2010

Our Camino experience went beyond my expectations. The hiking was more challenging than I had imagined. But this made the holiday more rewarding for me because it tested my physical abilities. Walking also let me experience every sight and sound of the land and its people. I fell in love with the Basque country and its people. Our hotels and food were always superb and a wonderful reward for all the physical exercise. I will definitely take another walking holiday with your company!

 


Robin, June 2010- from Boise, Idaho

The Portuguese Way was fantastic - wonderful hotels,stunning countryside and above all amazing people - it was one of the hardest but best things I have ever done.Thank you for helping to make it happen

 

 


Justine, June 2010

We had an excellent guide and our group really gelled. Thanks to all!!

 

Maureen, May 2010

One Foot Abroad allowed me (80) and my husband (81) to have one of the most memorable experiences of our lives walking the Camino de Santiago. We will always be grateful.

 

Marge, May 2010

Hi Team, My husband and I had a great time on the French Way (4 day walk) on the Camino. The walk was wonderful, accommodation great, especially the hotel in the converted monastery in Roncevalles. The info pack was very helpful and everything ran smoothly. We'll be travelling again with you.

 

 

Mary & Killian (32 yrs), April 2010

Just back from completing the second leg of the French Walk and could not recommend it highly enough. The accomodation was great, the luggage transfers fantastic and we met such an interesting array of people. Once again One Foot Abroad made our trip effortless and we will be back!!!!

 


Liz, April 2010

A wonderful walking holiday with spectacular cliffside trails, lemon trees, olive groves, goat farmers, monasteries and stunning views of the coastline. We walked in the low season (early March) which meant a lot of businesses on the Amalfi Coast were closed, but meant the local people were extremely helpful and friendly as there were so few tourists around. A beautiful part of the world with fantastic food to eat at the end of a steep day of walking!
