Altogether a wonderful spiritual journey in a scenery landscape. We recommend it to everyone! Thanks for all service and help, making the pilgrim week to a memorable adventure. Buen Camino! Stein-Oyvind, October 2009



One Foot Abroad really took the worry out of luggage transfers: the transfers were very smooth, over the 3 weeks of my trip. One Foot Abroad staff very responsive and friendly. I would happily choose them again.
Nelly, October 2009



One Foot Abroad did an excellent job organising our holiday - Claire went out of her way to ensure everything was taken care of. Personally we were sorry we only did the last section from Sarria and not more.
Hein & Jone, October 2009



Thank you for a hassle-free introduction to the Camino. Luggage always there when we got to each place - sometimes early afternoon. Interesting variety of accommodation each night. Staff always friendly and willing to help. That swimming pool and sauna mid week was definitely a great way to relax.
Maire, October 2009



I had a wonderful time in Galicia with Follow the Camino. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the daily baggage transfer was flawless. It was perfect for me travelling solo, as I wasn't stressed about getting to a Refugio every evening; it allowed me to enjoy the Camino at my leisure and spend time with people I met along the way. I'll be back!
Siobhán, September 2009



Our holiday was a great way to see a very unique part of Spain that is unspoilt by tourism. The hotels you selected were very welcoming and it was great having the luggage transported every day.
Alice, September 2009



One Foot Abroad were terrific. Staffs were very helpful from day one in our considerable planning, the booking process was easy, and the holiday pack / notes met in terms of timetable, and the holiday arrangements were seamless. We had a wonderful holiday.
Rod, September 2009



The Camino is an unforgettable experience but you need to be walking fit to get the most out of it.
John, September 2009



Everything was very well organised. Fantastic experience to walk above the clouds in the Pyrenees, well worth the effort!
Colm, August 2009



Have just completed one stage of the Camino de Santiago, one of the best trips I have ever been on, enjoyed every minute, it was a wonderful experience. Onefootabroad were really superb, every detail of our holiday was organised so we could concentrate on enjoying ourselves, at once stage we wanted to change our plans, and Onefootabroad were so helpful and very flexible. I am already looking forward to my next adventure with onefootabroad. A special thanks to Claire Regan who was very helpful. Many thanks for a wonderful holiday.
Orla, August 2009



Holiday organisation provided by one foot abroad was excellent, everything required for a relaxing and hassle free holiday was provided. Would definitely recommend and use again.
Stephen, August 2009



Great setup no worries.
John & Frances, August 2009



The walk was more than I expected. Not difficult and I didn't realize I would get such a feeling of relaxation and peace. The accommodation was very good and well planned in distance but did find some places pretty noisy until late at night and early morning. All breakfasts were adequate to start a day's walk and most evening meals were enjoyable. I would recommend anyone do the walk either for just the exercise or the spiritual benefit you get out of it.
Vivien, July 2009



This is our second yr going w/you and we are delighted to see that all the feedback we gave last yr was taken on board, and slight changes were made with the notes. very well organised, and accommodation food etc... Perfect. I would recommend one foot abroad to anyone, it is very well organised without the usual over commercialisation you get with some other sort of packages. the emphasis is on showing us the real/traditional side of each area we walk through, and give us an opportunity to mix and talk to local people, who are extremely helpful, friendly and pleasant and there is a sort of comradeship with the other Camino walkers/ cyclist. i am not religious in any way shape of form but there is something about it which makes you reflect about your life, and where you are going and what you want to achieve. We will definitely finish it...as we get the time. Thank you to all in onefootabroad for the perfect and seamless organisation, and the best holidays we have ever gone on.
Laurence, July 2009



I am so grateful to One Foot Abroad. We would never have done this trip if not for you so beautifully taking care of all the small details that go into putting together a trip like this. Having a nice room and meal already arranged at the end of a challenging wonderful day of walking made it a glorious and carefree journey. The villages we experienced, the scenery and the people, were an unforgettable experience and something we wouldn't have done without you. I can't wait to do it again.
Alba, July 2009



Yes: I had no idea what to expect from the trip as my Australian friends initiated the booking and I just "went along with it"! I was really impressed with the Pre-travel support from the team at One Foot Abroad - all my queries were answered promptly and with great attention to detail, no matter how trivial. I was delighted to note that whilst on the trip (Form Lugo to Santiago) everything went smoothly, particularly with reference to taxi transfers and transfer of luggage, always a worry especially when you do not speak the language! The whole trip was superbly organised and I would not hesitate to recommend the company to others - in fact prior to my trip I mentioned One Foot Abroad to my colleague who booked a trip in France (Dordogne) with them and has just returned having had a marvellous time. I look forward to planning a future trip.
Dyann, July 2009



The arrangement from One Foot Abroad worked out perfectly from the information before the walk until during the walk. Thank you for a good arrangement.
Ingvar, June 2009



Dear Claire (and everyone else involved in making my arrangements), I’d like to thank you all for a very successful Camino. It’s been a great experience, and all your plans for the bag transportation and accommodation went very smoothly. As a bonus, the weather was amazing and ideal for walking most days. Elizabeth, June 2009


Came back from our trip on the Camino last week. Everything went very well; the weather was fantastic, met some nice people along the way and the accommodation was first class - luggage always there to meet us! Lovely countryside, nice villages and towns. As you probably know most of the walk is quite open with very little shelter - but sun/heat was better than rain/cold  — we have enough of that since we got back. Helen, June 2009


I'd like to thank you for organising the trip for us, it was an absolutely brilliant walk both for me & my Aunt. Everything worked very well from the time we left Dublin until we arrived back.

I would like to single out special praise for our guide, Aurelie. She made the trip, especially our first Camino, very much more interesting. Also, she took extra care to ensure that my Aunt, who is 72,
was feeling ok & enjoying the walk.

Thanks again for helping to make our first trip to the Camino a great
experience. Aengus, June 2009


The trip was well organised and a luxury version of the Camino! Gillian, June 2009


They took care of every detail of our walking tour. I wouldn't have been 10% as confident if we had organised the trip on our own. They book hotels and baggage transfers, gave us walking notes, and were at the end of a phone line just in case. I am planning my third trip with them. Eoin, June 2009

I am not a walker but found the notes and information provided by your company accurate and truly reflected the walk. The accommodation was exceptional (for the price paid) and could not be faulted for friendliness, comfort, helpfulness and cleanliness!

We had to change our next day accommodation (walking plan at very short notice - due to an illness with one of the party) and Fabien could not have been more helpful at 1am on Sunday morning! Thank you Fabien!
Also all was organised for the baggage transfer after this point - so no problems!

I would thoroughly recommend One Foot Abroad and Follow The Camino -a great holiday - beautiful scenery, comfortable clean accommodation and fantastic company and good food! Lynn, June 2009


All arrangements excellent. Doing the whole of the Camino has been a true adventure but with none of the uncertainties of accommodation to be found at the end of the day or the problems of carrying a heavy rucksack. Thank you. Elizabeth, June 2009


Highly recommend this type of trip. It is enough to walk long distances during the day and so refreshing to come to the town or village in afternoon and have comfort await one. Joan, June 2009 Very good organisation, excellent notes, good hotels - excellent customer service. Maria, June 2009
Good food, great trip, enjoyed it tremendously. Paul, June 2009

Just a quick note to say thank you for a wonderful trip. It was a fantastic experience and one we hope to repeat again next year!! The place was amazing, Hotel, food, walks, weather and company were perfect. Well done. will be in touch again soon and will pass on all your details to my friends.come visit sometime. Mag, May 2009


Luggage was always before us when we arrived which was a great comfort factor. Mary, May 2009


We both look forward to our next section of the Camino and will be using your Company. We were very pleased with the services you gave us. Thank you. Una May 2009


We had a wonderful trip. The entire experience was beyond our expectations. we couldn't have anticipated the atmosphere, the culture, the gorgeous pathways, wild flowers and the flexibility of the walking day. The Camino is for everyone and everyone will get something special from it. The memories will stay will me for a long time. Be sure and go to the Mass in the cathedral in Santiago before you leave. This will complete your trip. Virginia & Catherine, May 2009


Great trip, I feel very happy for the Camino. I am sure that I will come back t do it from France. Edward, May 2009


Just to say thank you for all your help with our holiday, it was far better than I anticipated, we enjoyed every minute, (with the exception of the few blisters). Hotels excellent, transport of our luggage, directions etc. We can really recommend your company. Hopefully we will travel with you again in the near future. Martina, May 2009


It was challenging but gave a fantastic reward. I am glad that we understood that we had to practice before otherwise I think it have been too hard for us. The most fantastic thing was the openness of all the people that we meet during the walks. In fact we have new friends from Belgium, Finland and Murcia that we can visit and whom we have invited to our summerhouse in the mountain area of Lapland, Sweden. Kjell, May 2009


The organisation worked extremely well. Carolyn, May 2009
Walking notes very good. Majella, May 2009
Overall the trip and arrangements were excellent. The accommodation and transport of baggage faultless. Geraldine, May 2009
Expectations exceeded in Valcarlos because of proprietor, Michel. He provided us with dry clothes and toiletries when our luggage did not show up. Hotel in Roncesvalles was terrific as was Pamplona. Lonnie, May 2009
We loved our Camino experience. I have some very positive remarks; Especially worthy of mention; the hotel in Santiago, very well situated, is an excellent hotel. Also Opino - very lovely hotel. Arrival transfer, and the transfer from Santiago to Sarria where they started their walk was excellent as well as the daily baggage transfers. Cecilia, May 2009
Could 't recommend it highly enough. So good we might repeat it next year. It was like heaven on earth. We had 17 in the group and not one complaint. Weather, food, people, walks, service, hotel, 100%. Roll on next year!!! Margaret, May 2009
Just returned from my first experience on the Camino and would just like to complement you on how well everything went. We all had the most wonderful time and everything was so effortless. The accommodation was all perfect and we got such a nice welcome from everyone.

Thanks so much for all your help with organizing the trip and making it all so easy. We will all be definitely continuing the Camino in the years to come and of course you will be first on our list of preparations. I will be telling all my friends of the fantastic experience we had with your company and sending them in your direction.

Thanks again and hope to deal with you again soon! Liz, April 2009

Follow The Camino made the experience very approachable, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. John, April 2009


THANKS a million to you for a terrific holiday on the CAMINO. We had a great time. Hotels were beautiful. Meals excellent. Taxi was waiting for us and we were very glad to see him. There wasn't a hitch and the praise for 'Follow The Camino' was very high. you could get stuck with us again! Thanks. Dympna, April 2009

Overall, an excellent, very interesting and enjoyable trip. Aidan, March 2009


This was my first time taking a trip like this and I would have no hesitation is recommending it to others. The team could not have been more helpful in making the arrangements and in selecting excellent accreditation at each of the stop overs. I'm looking forward to my next one. Michael, March 2009


I had an excellent time. Even the weather cooperated.

The organization of moving my bags along worked really well and it was always at my next destination in advance of my arrival, even when I got there early. The accommodation was excellent and the people at each location very helpful. The guide maps and notes kept me on track, even when the 'yellow'' arrows were getting scarce, as they do in places.

Thanks to the OFA team for getting this organised for me at such short notice.

Ger, March 2009


Thank you once again. I will tell my friends what a lovely company you are to work with. It was fantastic. Catherine, March 2009


I found the customer service more than helpful an really explained things really well with me on a few occasions returning my emails quickly and in detail. Margaret, February 2009


I just got home from Spain. Let me tell you that it was an amazing experience. Hotels and other arrangements were excellent. Food was extraordinary! Algie, November 2008


When we arrived in Palace de Rei, the priest who stamped our "Credentials" commented in broken English that they were the best he had seen in a very long time. James, November 2008


Fantastic walking holiday - would recommend it to everyone! Claire, November 2008


....many thanks for all your help & advice. Pat, November 2008


I had a wonderful time. It was the perfect arrangement for me as I was able to enjoy myself without having to worry about a place to sleep at night and carrying my luggage with me. As a Travel Agent and an explorer I would recommend you guys to all my clients and friends. Vera, October 2008


A walking holiday that was strenuous enough for our needs, but left us with enough energy to enjoy the socialising. Brian, October 2008


We were very impressed with your efficiency, and immediate attention to the only query we had. Your attention to detail was very impressive and we had no worries with accommodation or transfer of baggage and this made our walking holiday very relaxing. All four of us look forward to traveling with you again and will recommend your company to our friends and acquaintances. Anne, October 2008


Great selection of lodging, excellent response to email questions, excellent choice of routes for views and experience in the country-side. Jennifer, October 2008


We enjoyed the hike immensely and would recommend it to our friends. Tom, October 2008


We had great walking in the Calanques Sept. 2008 - our first unguided walk - no hitches - well organised. No hesitation in recommending Follow The Camino. Harry, September 2008


We are delighted to compliment you on the preparation and delivery of our holiday plans and would recommend them to everybody. Frederick, September 2008


Very positive experience .Enjoyable. Pauline, September 2008


An amazing holiday and One Foot Abroad organised everything to ensure I had to worry about nothing except walking the designated route :o) I would highly recommend the Sarria to Santiago holiday to everyone of all age groups - either alone or in a group. Even walking alone I made some great friends and never walked more than 300m without meeting someone. The back up of One Foot Abroad made it a completely relaxing experience. All accommodation and meals were provided and at a very good standard. I'm now planning my next walking holiday! Sarah, September 2008


We both wish to thank you for your organisation and support. We had a great holiday with every thing made so easy. The walks were amazing and views stunning. We certainly will hope to do further walks. Esther & Ann, September 2008


These holidays are very easy to book and are very well organised.  All queries are dealt with promptly and pleasantly.  The organisers go out of their way to be helpful, right down to calling just before the holiday to wish us well. Lynn August 2008


A very enjoyable holiday. Annette, July 2008


The 111Kms (from Sarria to Santiago) seemed like half the distance, - and that can be attributed to the wonderful friendliness that evolved between all the pilgrims and the locals as we journeyed. It brought to mind an Ireland of former days. Oh! if only!!!!!! Patrick, June 2008


Over all we all enjoyed our walking holiday very much, it was not easy but not over hard and that is part of the reason we choose it as the first walking holiday - some of us for Religious reasons. Thanks for all you help Roland. Eamon, June 2008


I really enjoyed my walking holiday with One Foot Abroad. Everything was taken care of and let me free to get on with walking, making friends and having fun. I would recommend this type of holiday to anyone, young or old, fit or not so fit!. Marie June 2008


Just returned from the last stage of the Camino walk into Santiago. Our group of ten found accommodation, food, transfers etc. to be excellent.  The only thing that could have been improved upon was the weather...and even Follow The Camino cannot do anything about that.  Thanks for a lovely holiday, completely hassle free.  Teresa, June 2008


Thanks again lads, second walking holiday with ye. The six of us had a great time. Shane, June 2008


We have recently returned from walking holiday to Santiago. We compliment Follow The Camino for organising our walking holiday,excellent accommodation and meals and of course a few drinks, enjoyed by all. Thanks. Noel & Lee Flynn, June 2008


The Camino de Santiago is a mystery in itself so why take on all the logistics of a 112km walk when Follow The Camino organises everything so well? The real mystery is why somebody would take on the Camino and NOT book through Follow The Camino. I traveled alone but Follow The Camino were just a phone call away, and that's priceless. Declan June 2008


I was so sorry today that my holiday was at an end. I had a most enjoyable time and I thank Follow The Camino for a most professional service. The attention to detail was second to none. Aidan, May 2008


I found Follow The Camino professional and easy to deal with and the walking holiday on the Camino very good and well organised. Kieran, May 2008


We had a great time and I look forward to using your company again and you can be sure I will be recommending you to friends and family alike. William, May 2008


We really enjoyed our holiday and we are planning to go to the High Tatras next year. Margaret, May 2008


Super website and very responsive staff with relevant expertise. I was very satisfied with the service provided.  The website provides a very inviting and accurate account of the options available; all members of the team were friendly and accommodating; the itineraries were interesting and varied; and the arrangements were very satisfactory.  We had a great holiday and I would certainly consider using this service again. Mary, May 2008


I have just returned from holiday in Spain that was very well planned by Follow The Camino. I was member of a group of 19 and everything was organised for us from beginning to end.
Thanks for a great experience. Fedelma, May 2008


Excellent response to any query and nice touch with the call in the days before the holiday begins. Everything organised by Follow The Camino went so well that we could concentrate on what we wanted to do, simply walk! Thanks for everything! Patrick, May 2008


I very much enjoyed my holiday. The hard labour (luggage, meals, buses) was taken care of and the walking was great. Kay May 2008


We heard the cuckoo every day on the Camino adding to the joy of being amidst such natural beauty.Well done Follow The Camino. Marion, May 2008


The walking holiday was good value for money and I certainly was surprised at the high standard of our mostly 2* accommodation. I would never have completed the 130km we walked in 5 days without the option to have our luggage transported. Eileen, May 2008


Thank you for a great holiday and the prompt attention when we had a problem. Maureen, April 2008


It was a fabulous experience! Colleen, April 2008


I was impressed that you called me after I sent emails. Quicker and more personal. My Mum and I really enjoyed the walking holiday. Roland [the guide] was great and I believe the tour guides you have in Morocco are fantastic. Linda, March 2008


This was the first time either of us did a walking holiday, but it will probably not be the last. We really enjoyed the experience. We did feel we cheated a little by having our bags transferred each day, when we saw the others with all their gear on their backs, but we were older than most of them, so that made us feel better ! Anonymous, March 2007


As first time novice walkers (somewhat apprehensive) we found this to be a most enjoyable experience and look forward to our next walking holiday. Bartley, March 2008


We experienced excellent customer relations in the period before the holiday. Attention to enquiries was excellent. We had a brilliant holiday. We saw farms and farming the way they should be, unchanged by time.An old lady stopped me one day and gave me two figs that she plucked off her tree. I walked on air for miles to have met such kindness. Ed, October 2007


Our walking holiday with Follow The Camino was a treat from start to finish. No hitches and even as we checked about baggage transfer and such matters along the way, Follow The Camino were always ahead of the game. Great Service...Many thanks. John, October 2007


Deciding to go on a walking holiday alone was an unusual decision for me but it could not have been any simpler with Follow The Camino! They literally walked me through all the features of the package and called me back on several occasions to clarify queries and give further advice.The notes and guidance supplied were clear and very easy to follow. I was also notified of other walkers who were doing the same stages as me and so I was no longer alone. A most positive experience overall, I will definitely go back to Follow The Camino again for future walking trips! Many Thanks! Ann, October 2007


Very good. I appreciated the ease of contact with Roland by email and phone, and particularly the calls to me to see if everything was ok. Muredach, September 2007


I must say that in all my years booking and taking holidays I have never enjoyed a better organised, better serviced or more enjoyable holiday experience than that of Follow The Camino. Well done and thanks. Malachy, September 2007


Professional service and a stress free way to organises a holiday. The luggage transfer was a godsend. Karen, September 2007


We needed to skip a day. Follow The Camino were fast and efficient in organising this for us. Thanks. John, Sept 2007


The service provided met our expectations and we would happily recommend it. Valerie, Sept 07
