If you always wanted to walk the Camino but weren’t sure where to start, we introduce you to our Best Camino tours for beginners.
Travelling with a like minded group, meeting new friends and walking with the support of knowledgeable local guides, escorted tours are a great option to experience the Camino for the first time.
CAMINO GUIDED TOURS
The Camino Frances route stretches for about 900kms all the way from the Pyrenees to Santiago but many pilgrims choose to walk the last section of the route, just over 100kms from the market town of Sarria in Galicia. This can be easily done over the space of a week.
If it’s your first time on the Camino, a guided tour on the Camino Frances from Sarria is the best introduction to this special experience as it is by far the most popular part of the famous trail and where you will encounter walkers of all ages and nationalities.
The Coastal Camino Portugues from Vigo is another great choice for beginners and we have a selection of Camino guided tours scheduled on this popular route.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Our Camino guided tours include flights, group transfer from Santiago Airport and hotel accommodation in the lovely cities of Lugo (Camino Frances tour), Vigo (Camino Portugues tour) and in Santiago, so you don’t have to pack your bags every day.
They are a week-long, including 5 walking days of approximately 20 to 25 kms each day. Our bus will drop the group and guide at the trail each morning and pick you up a the end of the day.

CAMINO FRANCES EASY WALK
New this year we have introduced a Camino Frances Easy Walk, ideal for those looking experience the Camino at a slower, more relaxed pace.
This is a slightly longer trip so the group can walk the last 100kms of the famous Camino Frances from Sarria in shorter stretches of 10 to 15 kms each day. This is our top choice of Camino tours for beginners who would like to walk every single mile of the last section so you can get your certificate in Santiago.
