8-dages Camino Frances Pilgrimage Tour fra Sarria til Santiago - 2nts Santiago

Camino Ways arranged my 8 nights from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela starting May 15, 2026. I opted for their SUPERIOR category of hotels, which they only booked me ONE night out of eight nights in a SUPERIOR room, but they charged me for all 8 as superior. The remaining 7 nights were in their country cottages, which are less expensive, but they charged me for all 8 nights as though it was SUPERIOR. When I contacted them about this, they said that this was the best available in Galicia. Of course, they did not return any money to me. Also, when you stay at country cottages, given that they are out of town, you are subject to someone picking you up and dropping you off, so you are not independent. I felt that Camino Ways was not transparent about the difference in price between COUNTRY COTTAGES and the SUPERIOR category, or else they would have disclosed this difference and returned money. I recently did a search and for 7 nights on a superior room they charge 1,684 EUR versus 7 nights in a Country Cottage which is priced at 1,405 EUR, so REALLY deceptive. Lastly, on the last two days of my trip, they were less than transparent about the walk, telling me that the distances as you approached Santiago became a little murky- when I pointed out that both the Michelin guide as well as Google said the distance between two points was 10 km, they argued with me and stated that it was 3 to 4 km. In the end, they agreed, but it was annoying.

We had a faultless experience with Camino Ways. Everything from accommodation, meals and baggage transfer between hotels. A fantastic walking experience from Sarria to Santiago, meeting so many lovely people from all different nationalities which really made the experience feel special.

I'm so glad we chose CaminoWays to help us plan our Camino. We were 8 family members, so coordinating the lodging was a big job. The places that CaminoWays selected were really great. They all had wonderful customer service and really great food. While they were usually a bit out of the way (outside of the major towns), that added to their charm. One thing, be prepared for no air conditioning. We had asked for that in our lodgings but we realized that AC just doesn't exist in the majority of places on the Camino. And really, except for one night, we really didn't need it. One other thing, I do hope they implement a dedicated app in the future. It will make getting info about the different guest houses out to a larger group easier. If we do another Camino, I would definitely choose CaminoWays to help plan it.

great hotels prompt pick ups and drop offs

The final day bags were sent to the wrong hotel. We were able to track the whereabouts of the luggage using our AirTag, get a taxi (no compensation from Camino Ways 50 euros) retrieve it and get back to our hotel before Camino Ways made a move. Next morning, the scheduled driver never came so we needed to hire our own cab to get to the train station ( once again no compensation).

What a fantastic experience from start to finish!! From accommodations, dining, and luggage transfers we were able to experience the Camino in all its glory. Highly recommend Camino ways!!

We walked Sarria-Santiago c. 120km over 3 days, i.e. c 40km per day. Myself (73), my daugher (46), my daugher's friend (46), and her husband (55). Myself and my daughter completed. Our male companion got bad foot, and thigh blisters, and did not do the final day, he and his wife took the oppurtunity to explore Santiago as they had a 6am flight the next day. We wanted to complete a minimum 100km, and only had the 3 days available in which to do it. On reflection I think that 40km per day is too long, and I think that 18km-20km is the sweet spot, 25km at a push. The last 10km of the 1st day c. 37km staring from Sarria was very tough for me (73) as it was all uphill, but all got better the following days, with the last day being the most enjoyable 39km, not too many hills, with one 30 min break at 25km. All in all, particularly when reflecting on it, and looking at the photos, for me it was a very emotional trip spending all that exclusive time with my daughter. My daughter had recently run a half marathon in just under 2 hours, and was very fit. I hadn't walked in the previous week, and my normal walk distance is 5.5km 4 times per week. My daughter took care of everything, flights, bookings, passports, meds, supplements, anti blister powderss etc. which left me completely responsibility free. A great experience.

My recent experience with on my Caminos from Sarria to Santiago was amazing. We had two guides, Javier and Juan they were both such amazing beautiful people. Our accommodation was great. I was realy impressed everywhere had supper comfy beds and amazing showers. Our meals were also great in the evenings and for breakfast. And we stopped at some Amazing places for lunch recommended by our guides. It really was a supper trip amd out transfer bus from the airport to our first nights accommodation was really good too. I would highly recommend “Comino Ways” And would definitely use them Again

We walked the last 113km and it was arranged as a fund raising charity event. Caminoways were amazing! Everything was perfect. Guides great, hotels suburb. I had to book an extra bag and called the emergency no. Responded quickly and sorted within 15 mins. Everything was super simple from my end.

From the minute we arrived in Spain to the drop off at the airport for our return flight home, the whole trip ran seamlessly. The hotels were spotless and spacious, and the monastery for our two nights in Santiago was absolutely beautiful. Our bags were transferred without delay and were waiting for us when we arrived. The pre departure information from Camino Ways was very informative and helpful. Thank you Camino Ways for allowing us to enjoy our pilgrimage along the spectacular St James way.
