Reviews
Just the most amazing experience! Nothing was left to chance, and Abbey and Lolita were beyond amazing
The tour was fantastic as it was extremely well organised; the two guides (Abbey and Hugo) were excellent due to their knowledge, attitude, helpfulness, sense of humour and friendliness; and the hiking routes were magnificent. I am planning to go on some of your other adventures due to enjoying the Camino trip so much.
I had the best time. Abbey and Hugo were gems and fun to travel with. Nothing was too much, and they did it all with laughter and frivolit,y even when they had to lug our extremely heaving luggage in and out of the vans daily. The accommodation far surpassed my expectations (especially the chateaus and monastery). I have nothing but praise for the trip and how is was curated. Have been telling all my friends and looking to join you on your Peru tour next year.
A huge thank you to Abbey and Hugo for making our tour so memorable - it was a very special experience to do the walk with friends and such dedicated, hardworking and knowledgeable guides like Abbey and Hugo. We loved hearing about Hugo’s life in the Pyrenees. Loved the picnics we had on our walks - I understand that having a picnic on the hike is more work for Abbey but the food was delicious as you don’t need to sit down meals every day. I would definitely book another trip with your company.
