Walk part of "The Camino" to Santiago, Private tour from A Coruña

Juanjo is the most expert, kind, and prepared person I have met for doing a tour like this; he truly made me feel like a pilgrim, and he also showed me the entire town and different ways to see the history of the Camino de San Diego. Additionally, he knew where to eat and try different foods throughout the town. I had an amazing time; it was truly a very interesting day. I really loved it 👍

I chose to walk the Camino to Fisterra for its lush greenery, scenic diversity, and relative tranquility compared to the more popular Sarria to Santiago route. This trail offers a beautiful blend of forest paths, rural landscapes, and, towards the end, spectacular coastal views — all with minimal urban intrusion. For someone seeking peace, solitude, and a deeper connection with nature, this route is ideal. My arrangements with Santiago Ways were limited to accommodation bookings and baggage transfers. While the services were quite basic, they were carried out reliably and without any issues. The accommodation options were very good — a mix of comfortable lodges, charming rural inns, and a couple of well-appointed 3-star hotels, which offered a nice variety throughout the journey. As a birder, the quieter and greener Finisterre route provided an excellent opportunity to immerse myself in nature. I was able to spot 52 bird species along the way, which was one of the highlights of my journey. The peaceful trails allowed me to take my time, observe birdlife, and enjoy the changing landscapes without the distractions of crowds or heavy urban development. Unlike the Sarria–Santiago stretch, which is great for socializing and meeting fellow pilgrims, the Finisterre route offers a more introspective experience. Of course, you still meet kindred spirits along the way, but the focus here is more on nature, solitude, and personal reflection. Overall, this was a memorable and fulfilling adventure — perfect for nature lovers, birders, and those looking for a less-traveled and more serene Camino experience.

We had an unforgettable experience walking part of the Camino to Santiago on this private tour from A Coruña. Juanjo, our guide, was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and professional. His stories and insights made the walk come alive, and his local perspective gave us a much deeper appreciation of Santiago. I’d highly recommend not just visiting Santiago, but also walking a stretch of the Camino first. The section we did was beautiful, meaningful, and manageable for almost anyone. Walking it first made the arrival at the cathedral and the main piazza so much more relatable and rewarding. It added a whole new layer of connection to the city and its history
