In this 3 part series, we’re helping you plan the perfect Camino de Santiago tour for you. In part one we covered the basics- amount of time you have, the time of year you’ll be traveling and what type of Camino experience you’re looking for.

In part 2, we’re specifically breaking down the tours- guided vs self-guided and the advantages of both.

We get asked this question a lot! And for good reason, as the Camino itself can be remote and not easy to “get off” of in the middle of a stage. But that being said, the Camino is accessible for all ages and all fitness levels. The last 100 km of the French Camino are by far the easiest, as you’re not crossing the Pyrenees and the uphills and distances are manageable.
