We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
The trip was arranged for us as a group of long term friends to celebrate our 60th Birthdays. We wanted more than a beach/site seeing holiday. Inntravel fitted the bill. A walking holiday (Camino Santiago Portuguese way) set to our own time line with all the benefits of route, accommodation, transfer of luggage & pick ups being sorted. Whatsxnot to like? Every dot crossed & when it wasn't they were on it & it was sorted with no trouble. The whole team have been just great & we will be using them again. I have personnely have booked another holiday with them later in the year. Well done team & a Big Thank You from us.
The Camino is a once in a lifetime experience. Many do it for religious reasons, others as a personal challenge. But irrespective of their motivation, everyone we met on the route were happy to engage, supportive and positive. It was especially poignant for me, as my mother passed away three weeks before we set off and I shed a few tears along the way sparked by the ancient churches, granite crosses, verdant hills and the overwhelming sense of being part of something deeply spiritual.
And if you are going to do the Camino with minimum angst, use Inntravel so you can immerse yourself in the pilgrimage without worrying about travel arrangements, booking accommodation, transporting your suitcases, finding somewhere good to eat and all the other distractors.

Another fantastic trip with Inntravel. Walks were longish but easy and the excellent weather certainly helped. It was nice to get off the main Camino and on some tracks on the Variante Espiritual. We didn't need the short cuts but useful to know if the weather was bad and we did all the walks, including the mill walk on the rest day in Meano, which I would recommend, it was lovely (and then did the wine tasting in the early evening). As Chivas was wonderful, I really loved this place, sitting on the terrace eating a fantastic meal. Quinta de San Amaro was lovely, great room, great view and excellent food. Hotel Bradomin was also unexpectedly good and felt really authentic. The room was simple but spotless, it was agreat location and the staff were wonderful. We stayed and had a simple 'pilgrim's meal' in the hotel and it was great, lovely atmosphere. In Pontevedra, La Estafeta was a fanstatic place to eat (and were pretty tolerant of a couple of sweaty pilgrims straight off the Camino for a late lunch). Pulperia Real for pulpo was great too and staff were lovely (ignore TripAdvisor, they were fab). In Santiago we ate at the recommended Ocurro da Parra and this was probably the best meal of the trip, really recommend, delicious! We also ate at O Sendeiro which is just out of the old town but an easy 10 minute walk from Hotel Virxe and it was also really excellent, in an old pousada, wonderful food and service. This was quite a different experience for us as we are more used to walking alone (we have completed a lot of Inntravel trips in Spain) but it felt really special to be part of something. Definitely recommend this trip, it was fantastic.
Quinta de San Amaro was a highlight from an accomodation standpoint. Absolutely beautiful!
This particular trip has relatively long distance hikes. Remember to take your time and stop to enjoy the sites along the way each day and perhaps stop for refreshments.
Make sure to take care of your feet early in the trip. There were a lot of people suffering from foot issues. We had some rain so that may have contributed to the foot friction issues.
Everyone must have a different reason for walking the camino. It's not just the hiking. It's not a 'holiday'. It's both and lots more, and it is certainly a challenge. We were so spoiled having such comfortable accommodation all the way and our luggage carried for us, and we wouldn't have missed the boat journey for anything. Arriving at the end of the journey was extraordinarily moving. As we rested outside the cathedral we watched an elderly man crossing the square with crutches, painfully slowly, one step at a time. He stopped near two men who were sitting on the ground. The embrace he received was what, I think, we all wanted to give him and each other. A true 'Welcome, pilgrim!' The Mass for the Pilgrims was, likewise, bonding. The flight of the Botafumeiro along with the organ music seemed to confirm the point of everyone's efforts, just as the cuckoo, the vineyards, the wild flowers and the luscious countryside did for us in early May.
Although we had a few issues, the holiday was an exceptional experience. Inntravel sorted all the transport arrangements for us, we added a few days in Porto before starting the walk. This all worked seemlessly. The hotels varied in character, all were excellent in their different ways and this added to the experience. The walks were all manageable, varying in length and terrain.
The highlights were watching dolphins while on the boat and the black squirrels in the forests. Stopping for a drink at one of the many cafes/bars enroute and a beer at the end of each walk. Getting our passports stamped and the service and swinging lantern at the cathedral in Santiago, when we had completed the pilgrimage.
It was a quite excellent experience.
The only minor suggestion is a warning that the first day's walking was the most tedious being largely on main roads, but therafter inproved considerably
This was an exceptional trip. I am glad to have done it although I would prepare more and pack differently if doing it again at the same time of year - more water resistant clothing. The trick is finding gher right balance with this trip and any additional travel one might be adding at either end given luggage restrictions and challenges in having laundry done with such short stops. The food was quite good and accommodation generally clean and comfortable. The first night was challenging arriving later in the day in a rianstorm with everyhting wet - no real opportunity or space to dry things out for the next day.
We had a wonderful time! The entire walk, along rivers, by the coast and through peaceful vineyards was lovely, and we were very happy with the route and hotels arranged for us. All the arrangements were very good. Food and drink everywhere was excellent, including every cafe we stopped at along the way. Personally, we struggled to eat all the contents of the generous picnics provided, which were quite bulky and heavy to carry, and we would prefer to buy our own lunchtime supplies when stopping at cafes along the way, and then have dinner included as well as breakfast at each overnight stop. I appreciate others may have different views on this so perhaps could be offered as an option when booking.
In general we loved the people of Galicia. So generous and welcoming. Even without a lot of Spanish, and speaking with non English speakers, we found people very very willing to help and find solutions for us. The walking was simply delightful. Many treelined paths, often along rivers and one section following a river and its waterfalls. The other pilgrims were friendly and interesting and coming from all sorts of cultures and backgrounds. The parador hotels are just divine. We ate and drank like queens and were very well cared for by very friendly staff. And each building was exquisite. The most special stay was however in the Quinto de Amaro. Every detail was thoroughly thought through and made for a very comfortable and homely stay.
Excellent holiday and enjoyable walking from hotel to hotel most days feeling you are making real progress to Santiago.
Our 10th Inntravel holiday proved to be another great trip. Having always wanted to walk the Camino de Santiago, it was a special experience walking the Portuguese Way, which involved varied and lovely scenery, friendly hotels and amazing food. The highlight must have been our arrival in Santiago de Compostela and sharing the experience with hundreds of other pilgrims. The Parador at Tui was a great hotel to start the trip and the two night stay at Quinta de San Amaro was really special and gave us a nice day's rest before resuming our walk.
The monastery of Armenteira was a particular highlight for us, despite the fact that we arrived there very wet. The walk from there on the Ruta da Pedra e da Agua is wonderful. Generally, the Variante Espiritual was beautiful and it was good to be on a quieter route for a while.
I highly recommend Inntravel for this Camino de Santiago journey on the Portuguese Way. Every detail was carefully thought out, including the locations, the timing, the pacing, the distances and the meals. We did this trip as a family of four, with our two adult daughters (aged 20 and 22). We had an amazing experience and would love to do it again.
Perhaps some recommended reading before the trip would have been useful, particularly around the more spiritual aspect of the Camino. We bought a book on-line but it was not what we wanted, and our local library didn't have anything relevant. Also, we would have liked to know about Room 6 in the Pilgrim Office, we only heard about it at the Pilgrim Mass. We found this a wonderful end to our journey, both physically and emotionally.
We enjoyed most of our trip enormously. People we met were almost exclusively friendly and helpful. Bar Lestrobe, the accommodation exceeded expectations and the dinners and picnics, particulary at Tui and Meano, were superb. The walk from Meano was particularly lovely but we enjoyed all walks. Santiago and its cathedral, especially the portal of glory were lovely. Tips: it is worth following Inntravel advice about shortening the final day's walk to Santiago by walking some of the route the previous "easy" day to reduce final day's kms. Tuitrans luggage service was great: we found using packing cubes in our suitcases made the turn-arounds much easier! It is worth doing the winery tour!
Completing the walk and arriving in the square in front of the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela was the highlight of this adventure. The friendliness of both the local people and walkers from around the world was wonderful and kept us going along the way. The Inntravel route taking The Variante Espiritual and the boat ride from Vilanova to Puentecesures was an added bonus. We would recommend most walkers to have a go at this route.
Walking the Camino is a unique and special experience and one we shall never forget! You meet so many great people from all over the world and everyone has their story to tell. There were some tears but lots of laughter and good times too. We travelled as a group of six women and felt completely safe the whole time. It was lovely to get off the busier camino route and join the much quieter and more scenic Variante Espiritual, but also great to rejoin the main route again on the last day and meet up with so many other pilgrims in front of the Cathedral. There were many highlights, although we all agreed the boat trip was our favourite day - we were very lucky to have a pod of dolphins swim alongside our boat for a while. We were fortunate with the weather and only had a little rain on our final walk into Santiago. We are all experienced walkers but we found the days long and tiring, especially on the three very hot days. The climb out of Combarro is particularly tough in 30 degrees with very little shade from the sun. Of all the different hotels along the route our favourite was the Parador de Tui - a great place to relax before the Camino begins and the evening meal was excellent. The food and drink in this region of Spain is suberb, especially if you enjoy seafood and Albarino wine as much as we do! Not so great for vegetarians. We enjoyed so many meals out and would highly recommend the following: O Novo Cabalo in Tui, Taperia pe de Cuba in Villanova de Arousa, Bellaco in Santiago (superb) and Petiscos Do Cardeal for the best tapas in Santiago. This was our first trip with InnTravel and it certainly won't be our last because everything went so smoothly and when we had an issue along the way they responded and resolved it. We were also late back to the hotel on the third walking day and they contacted us to ensure we were okay, which we really appreciated.
An excellent holiday and great walking. Good choice of hotels, including some very nice meals. Background notes and extra City / town walks were excellent as always. Very helpful restaurant recommendations as well.
This is a route you do for the walk itself not the walking. There was more pavement and tarmac than we would have liked, but we were still delighted to have completed over 100k of the Camino.
We thought Galicia was beautiful, so lush and green, with citrus trees, huge Magnolias, Hydrangeas and, surprisingly, Eucalyptus trees. We were fortunate to have only half a day of wet walking although that half day showed us clearly why Galicia is so green!
A long wait for a taxi on Day 4 and blustery showers on Day 5 meant we didn't get the opportunity to use the small pool at Meano, but we enjoyed the good sized pools at Tui and Lestrobe.
Highlights of the trip for us, besides arriving in Santiago, were the Route of Stone and Water on Day 6 and the boat trip on Day 7. Walking was easier than expected on easy surfaces, and we were much faster than the Inntravel estimates, although Komoot times were more realistic.
We enjoyed excellent tapas (delicious scallops) in Tui, Pontevedra (Barbol in Rua Real) and Vilanova de Arousa (Pei de Cuba), although we were a bit disappointed by the food at the Quinta in Meano. We ate well in Santiago at O Sendeiro and A Noiesa, both booked in advance.
If you go into Padron on day 7 ignore the instructions to Lestrobe and follow the day 8 instructions from Lestrobe to Padron in reverse, much nicer and quicker.
This was a walk like no other and we enjoyed meeting other pilgrims, the atmosphere in the Pilgrims Mass and the sense of achievement arriving in Santiago.
We flew home from Santiago which was really easy at it was literally a 15 minute taxi ride from the hotel.
Overall an excellent experience!
We really enjoyed the camino portuguese and can recommend unreservedly. The walking is within the scope of anyone of average fitness and very easy walking terrain - some days were long but that is the only challenge. Galicia itself is a delight with wonderful scenery, wonderful food and lots of Albarino and is Spain's hidden gem.
We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. There were lots of pilgrims accompanying us on the walk although it was never crowded, especially on the Variente Espiritual. We were lucky with the weather- not a drop of rain- and loved the lush countryside and the variety of accommodation. Whatever your approach to religion, the Pilgrim Mass in the Cathedral is not to be missed.
Top walking route, good mixture of accommodation with a bit of luxury occasionally, very welcoming on recovery days. Loved the Camino Spiritual as a quiet alternative to the main trail that was getting very busy by this point.
A very successful innovation! While of course the landscape is not as spectacular as, for instance, the Bernese Oberland or the Pyrenees, this ancient pilgrimage route is highly attractive and enjoyable, and extremely interesting, and the pilgrimage experience was a lot of fun. You definitely don't have to be religious to be enriched by it. Arriving at the square in front of the cathedral in Santiago was a glorious and unforgettable moment. And, especially if you enjoy fish and seafood, Galician food and wine are a revelation. We had some truly excellent and very memorable meals. All in all, a lovely trip, highly recommended. As expected, Inntravel got everything right: well chosen hotels and walking routes, and flawless practical arrangements.
I have wanted to go on this trip since I read a review in a Sunday Travel supplement several years ago and it didn't disappoint. The Inntravel organisation was very impressive. The booking process was straightforward. Although we spoke to different representatives each time we had an enquiry, our questions were answered quickly and we received emails in a timely fashion. We appreciated Inntravel booking our flights with EasyJet and the help to find an excellent hotel for an additional night in Porto before we flew home. The hotels on our Camino were well-chosen and we always received a warm welcome. It was great to get a picnic so that we didn't have to worry about finding somewhere to eat on our walking days, and I definitely saw some envious looks from other guests as we collected our little bags each morning. The Mapbook was very informative and easy to navigate and the additional background notes gave a good insight into each walk. The actual Camino route was well marked and really enjoyable and the surprise when we reached our final hotel in Santiago was a great ending to a fabulous trip.
Excellent holiday! The usual seamless Inntravel arrangements with hotels, luggage transfers, and routes. Between the GPX file (in Gaia), walking notes, and the Camino way markers, it was easy to find our way. Best walk was day 6 out of Meano down the waterfalls. Otherwise a mix of roads, paths, towns. A lot more populated than other Inntravel holidays I have been on, because it is the Camino -- lots of other caminantes the week of Easter -- the variante espiritual a little less crowded. Look for an alternate route (the old route) for one section on the last day, less traveled and more beautiful. But the other walkers provide a sense of comraderie and the Camino is a phenomenon itself. We especially liked the Quinta de San Amaro in Meano -- beautiful location and very comfortable and relaxed, with attentive staff that even had first aid on hand (a wrap and ice for a sprained ankle). It's a good place for a rest day, and the light walk that day is good too -- easy and pretty. Also it was the one place to have a swim in their little pool. We strongly recommend staying at the Parador in Santiago -- it is such a lovely and unusual place, and it is right there next to the cathedral, grand and also incredibly comfortable, and also an interesting museum in its own right. We were lucky to have no rain at all and perfect cool walking weather the beginning of April. Not perfect boating weather though! The Day 7 boat leaves at different times according to the tides; we left at 8 am when the temp was about 10 C -- it is an open boat with a stiff breeze and even with many layers of clothes it was really just too cold to enjoy. Beautiful but I'd skip it under those conditions.
The moment I walked into Santiago, I wanted to do it all again. The trip was amazing. Thank you, Inntravel, for making this trip so accessible for me.
Great Holiday, definitely recommend, really lovely meeting other Inntravel customers en route.
The boat trip, for me, was a real highlight of the trip. If you don't speak Spanish, maybe a translation book would be useful as the rural stays speak very little English.
Lovely having lunches in the little villages along the route. Also I love the fact that even when you just order a coffee at a stop en route, you get several little pastries/nuts/cake to enjoy with it. No chance of going hungry in Spain!
I loved the variety on a daily basis - riverside, vineyards, villages, coastline and beaches. Amazing walking.
The Camino was such an enjoyable holiday. However you need to have put in some miles beforehand before you start the walk. The final and longest day to Santiago was absolutely fine. However the walk up to Meaño was a bit of a slog but doable. It certainly wouldn’t pay to have eaten lunch in Combarro before you started the afternoon walk. I so wanted to stay for the sardines! The range of accommodation was different and each had their own charm. It was a great way to see the real Galicia. The food and wine was excellent. We enjoyed the wine tasting at Quinta de San Amaro and also the boat ride to Villanova de Arousa. It was a friendly and sociable holiday. We did it with friends but you could easily walk alone and still have company If you wanted it. We walked 119 km as we walked the extra day in Tui to O’Porrino which gave us a few km in the bank. You might want to offer this as an option. The extra nights were good after all it is a holiday and nice to have a day to relax. We went to the Pilgrims Mass which was lovely and queued to get our Compostelas. We downloaded the maps to Kamoot. This provided a reassuring back up especially on the complements Rios. All in all thoroughly recommend the holiday.
Our first walking holiday and a fabulous experience. Will definitely book again with Inntravel.
As usual, Inntravel - you delivered.
Excellent notes and directions for each day's walking. Lots of suggestions for the city add-ons.
Accommodation (except As Chivas) were all great. In fact, in particular, the lowly, 2 star walker's hotel Bradomin in Vilanove de Arousa was a wonderful stay. Spotlessly clean and with lovely, welcoming staff. Far surpassed the 'rural idyll' of As Chivas.
The Quinta de San Amaro in Meano (don't have Spanish keyboard for the tilde!) was another particularly lovely stay! All the Paradores were wonderful too.
The last hotel stay in Santiago was a gem - a wee oasis in a busy city but just a stone's throw from the old town and cathedral!
As before, we found your arrangements to be thorough and your communications friendly, helpful and timely. We enjoyed the variety of accommodation and the differences between them; all beds were comfortable, rooms were spotless and staff were uniformly polite and respectful, although with varying degrees of confidence in English which made them more or less outgoing. Any small issues were quickly resolved.
We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of colour in the countryside, mainly from people's gardens but with some remaining wild flowers and herbs. It was interesting to see crops growing and harvesting taking place; aubergines, tomatoes, peppers and sweetcorn, sweet-smelling grapes and smallholders bringing in their hay. We loved winding through tiny streets in villages and hamlets, and coming across a little cafe or bar to sit down for a few minutes with a coffee or beer.
This was an area which was new to us, and we were impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the inhabitants, who seemed genuinely welcoming and happy to accommodate our poor attempts at Spanish.
Pontevedra Museum was well worth a visit; whilst we were there the temporary exhibition reconstructed costumes from an archive collection of photographs.
Our best independent food discovery was Taperia O Albergue in Rua Obispo Lago, Tui which does a great value Menu del Dia for 10E (Three courses, bread, coffee and a drink).
