Agencies for the Camino de Santiago | Lists and rankings

Agencies specialized in organizing on the Camino de Santiago

In this blog post we want to talk to you about the extensive range of agencies que offer trips on the Camino de Santiago: Pilgrim, Tee-Travel, MundiCamino, Camino Ways, Follow the Camino, Macs Adventure, Viajes Mundiplus and us, Santiago Ways.

Sometimes deciding between one or another agency is not easy.

Sometimes deciding between one or another is not easy. What you want is to place your trust in an agency specialized in pilgrim routes and that things go as you planned them. No surprises and no misunderstandings.

To find out if a company is transparent and does what it offers, it is best to consult the opinions that users leave online. That is why, to save you the work, or at least, to simplify it, we have elaborated this ranking of agencies of the Camino de Santiago, based on the assessments that pilgrims give.

For this we have consulted the ratings and opinion platforms with the greatest credibility on the Internet. So we have the answer to: Which is the best agency for doing the Camino de Santiago?

But before answering this question, if you are interested in pilgrimage to Compostela, we recommend you to do the Camino de Santiago from Sarria. If help is what you need, leave us your details and we will contact you.

According to Google Reviews and TripAdvisor, Macs Adventure and Camino Ways are the worst, while MundiCamino and Santiago Ways are the agencies of the Camino de Santiago best rated by pilgrims. Here are more details of these and other agencies.

Macs Adventure (Nº8)

Macs Adventure is an agency specialized in adventure tourism. Its offer includes trips to all corners of the world, among which is the Camino de Santiago.

Its headquarters are in the United Kingdom and the United States, a long way from the reality of the pilgrim routes. Perhaps that’s why it’s the agency least mentioned by the pilgrims.

Macs Adventure has 10 reviews and a score of 4.4 in Google Reviews for its Glasgow (UK) office. To a large extent, the trekking that they organize in the countries where their offices are located are well valued.

The main complaints of its users refer to the quality of the information provided and the lack of planning, but this type of comments are located on routes away from their offices. Regarding the Camino de Santiago, Macs Adventure have almost no reviews.

Facebook also gives them a rating of 4.4, according to the opinion of 153 people. While on Feefo, a portal in Great Britain specialized in collecting user feedback about different companies, Macs Adventure has 1,447 ratings and its score is a 4.6.

On none of the platforms, have we found comments on pilgrims who have done the Camino de Santiago with Macs Adventure. Therefore, for us it is the least specialized agency for pilgrim routes.

Camino Ways (Nº7)

Camino Ways is one of the specialized agencies on the Camino de Santiago. Its main office is located in Santiago de Compostela.

Of all the agencies we talk about in this article, Camino Ways is the second worst ranked in Google Reviews. This agency has only the opinion of 23 pilgrims and its average rating is 4.5.

However, when you go into more detail, to analyse the comments that users have left about their experience with Camino Ways, there are no specific complaints, only low ratings.

Online, you will find real opinions and user opinions about which is the best agency for the Camino de Santiago.

However, it is possible to check on TripAdvisor many more reviews about this company. Of the 1,150 reviews on Camino Ways, 7.5% indicate that it is a normal, bad or very poor agency. Its score on this platform is 4.5.

Most complaints relate to how basic the services that Camino Ways provides are. Some users point out that the accommodation was uncomfortable and others that the information and attention provided by the company was not adequate.

Follow the Camino (Nº6)

Follow the Camino is another of the foreign agencies that provides services to Santiago. Its headquarters are in Dublin, Ireland. However, unlike Macs Adventure, Follow the Camino does specialize in the Camino de Santiago.

Of all the agencies we will talk about in this article, Follow the Camino is the third agency with the lowest ratings in Google Reviews (10). However, unlike Camino Ways, its users do express signs of appreciation for the service the company has provided. Its rating on the platform is 4.7.

However, on TripAdvisor, where Follow the Camino has a higher number of ratings (561), its rating drops to 4.5. 6% of its users report that it is a normal, bad or poor agency.

Tee-Travel (Nº5)

Despite its generalist name, Tee-Travel is defined as one of the specialized agencies on the Camino de Santiago. Although they do also offer services to other destinations.

They have 3 offices located in Galicia. The main one is in Pontevedra and the other two are in Santiago de Compostela and Sarria.

Google Reviews have only 38 reviews, but all very positive, highlighting, mainly, the speed of Tee-Travel when it comes to responding to its users. Its score is 4.8.

To choose which agency to organize your trip to the Camino de Santiago with, we recommend reviewing traveller's opinions.

TripAdvisor also has very good references and their score is 5.0 points. The only thing to doubt is that Tee-Travel also doesn’t have many reviews on TripAdvisor, only 57 reviews, so the sample is not very extensive.

Viajes Mundiplus (Nº4)

Viajes Mundiplus is another of the Spanish agencies that offers services to the Camino de Santiago. Its offices are located in Madrid.

This agency has a lot in common with Tee-Travel. On one hand, they have a global agency name, however, Viajes Mundiplus is an agency specialized in the Camino de Santiago. On the other, both agencies of the Camino de Santiago share scores in Google Reviews (4.8) and have only 38 reviews.

However, on TripAdvisor, the Madrid agency does have a large volume of reviews from pilgrims who have hired its services. Of the 1,098 reviews of Viajes Mundiplus, only 3.1% of users indicate that it is a normal, bad or poor agency. That’s why we put it above Tee-Travel.

Pilgrim (Nº3)

Pilgrim has its headquarters in Santiago de Compostela. Its services are oriented exclusively to the Camino de Santiago.

Pilgrim agency is rated by pilgrims in Google Reviews as the third highest in the ranking (4.8). We put it above Mundiplus Travel because the number of reviews on the Google platform is much higher (184).

If you want to do the Camino de Santiago with a specialized agency like Santiago Ways, we recommend you read the opinions of other clients.

On TripAdvisor, Pilgrim’s rating is 5.0, but the number of ratings is much lower. Only 48 users have left comments about Pilgrim on this platform. This only gives little confidence.

Mundicamino (Nº2)

Mundicamino is another of the Spanish agencies specialized in the Camino de Santiago. It is located in Burgos. There are very few references online about this organization. In fact, of all the agencies of the Camino de Santiago that are part of this list, Mundicamino has least comments on Google Reviews.

We’ve placed it the penultimate one based on the score you get on Google (4.9), but you should take into account that it’s based only on 8 reviews. The strange thing is that the low number of comments is not only recorded on that platform, but that the same thing happens on Facebook and TripAdvisor.

On Facebook, it also has only 8 reviews and, on TripAdvisor, has even fewer reviews, only 5. Therefore, although it is the second highest-rated agency, to us that so few pilgrims write about it, it generates some mistrust. As with Tee-Travel, or other agencies with a low volume of reviews.

Santiago Ways (Nº1)

Finally, the top-rated agency of the Camino de Santiago is Santiago Ways. But we don’t say it ourselves, users say it. And if you don’t believe us, you can check the different platforms for yourself.

Santiago Ways is a company led by Joseba Menoyo and its headquarters are in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. If you want to know more about us, you can read about our history here.

In Google Reviews, Santiago Ways is not only the top-scoring agency (4.9), but it is also the one with the highest volume of ratings that endorse it. In total, 464 people have left a review on the platform about us. That says a lot about the satisfaction of our pilgrims, don’t you think?

The same thing happens when you consult TripAdvisor, we are again the agency of the Camino de Santiago best valued (5.0). And no, it’s not a score based on a few reviews, as is the case with Pilgrim. On this platform, in the Santiago Ways profile, as of today, there are 346 reviews.

Do you now know which are the best agencies on the Camino de Santiago?

We hope that the information we have provided in this article, will help you decide on one of the many agencies that offer services to the Camino de Santiago: Macs Adventure, Camino Ways, Follow the Camino, Tee-Travel, Viajes Mundiplus, Pilgrim, MundiCamino or us, Santiago Ways.

If you still don’t know what type of services an agency can offer you, we encourage you to check out this blog post in which we explain the advantages of doing your journey with an agency.

With the above we say goodbye, not without first telling you that if you plan to do the Camino de Santiago with the help of an agency, do not take any chances. Trust the agency that has the best quality guarantee: its customers.

I contacted Pilgrim after reading your blog. It is now less than one month before departure date with non refundable airline tickets purchased. Pilgrim has over 4000EURO of my money and after a last minute route change required by mutual misunderstanding, I cannot get an email response from them to forward 200EURO final payment and get travel docs. Any suggestions on next step?

Hello,

I woul like for you to make a itinerary for me biking with my own bike and carying my own lugage from Santiago to St Jean Pied de Port on the french route. I will be biking around 64 kilometers per day and would like for you to book my hotel stays and add breakfast to those stays and if there is a town that really doesn’t have a restaurant then to add dinner as well. I also want two rest days every few days and especially after a big climb. I would be starting on May 25th 2023

Thank You,
Peter

Excellent trip. Thanks to Ylenia at Santiago Ways our trip was amazing. Accommodations and meals, she booked for us and day trip to Finisterre - PERFECT. Ylenia, was very patient with us. Our reservations had to be modified several times due to Covid and number of people in our group... changing. We have used Santiago Ways several times. Will use them again for our next “Camino Trail” adventure. Connie Earwoodread more

Our contact person with Santiago Ways was Ylenia Conesa. She was excellent to work with, she responded quickly to all our emails with all of our questions. I highly recommend her. Our trip was very well organized, we received all our information for the trip in a timely manner. We enjoyed all our... hotels, they were easy to find. The breakfast and dinners were adequate. We did not have any problems the whole trip. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Ylenia, we’ll contact you when we decide to do the Camino Portuguese. Buen Camino!read more

My partner and I finally got to experience our 5 day Camino pilgrimage walk from Sarria to Santiago in June 2022 - organized through Santiago Ways (SW) - after over 2 year delay due to Covid. We couldn't have been more thrilled from our experience once we landed in Spain from Canada.If you are... travelling overseas, trying travelling direct to Spain and avoid the lower cost European routes (i.e. easyjet) - flight cancellation/delays is about as common as the sun rising now so plan for this in your travels.SW staff were very professional and very helpful in answering all our questions prior to our trip. The Dossier and Vouchers that were sent to us were very clear and helpful to describe the route each day and where we stayed. Recommend you review your hotel locations on Google so you know where to find them once you arrive at each town/city.Our experience on the walk included breakfast, lunch and dinner for each day and the luggage transfer was a life saver allowing us to pack lightly each day. Strongly recommend you include you transfers as well to and from the airport to enjoy more time and less worry.The accommodations for our walk were well above average and more than we expected. Very clean, showers were hot (likely on demand) and the staff were very friendly at each of our stops.The staff at each place were very friendly but language barrier was there at times but never a problem.I strongly recommend using Santiago Ways in your Camino planning. Wouldn't think of any other group to help out. The peace and tranquility of walking on the countryside, the scenery, and laid back life was truly wonderful. Meeting so many pilgrims from all over and sharing our experience together was amazing and unforgettable.We are looking forward to doing this again in the future with the help of Santiago Ways.Buon Camino!Francesco & Claudetteread more

My husband and I completed the Portuguese Camino from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela in June 2022. From the planing to the completion of our trip everything exceeded our expectations.Santiago Ways did a wonderful job of having everything perfectly scheduled, from the airport transfers in Vigo and... Santiago de Compostela to the luggage transfers each day and the detailed information about each days walk. Numerous pilgrims commented on how much better our directions were and they were depending on our directions many times. The hotels we stayed at were amazing and the hosts at each hotel were always very helpful with recommendations on what to do and where to eat in each town. We had amazing food and drink along our whole journey and saw so many beautiful places.We have lifetime memories of the Camino thanks to everyone at Santiago Ways.If you are considering doing The Camino with Santiago Ways do not hesitate, go for it you will have the experience of a lifetime!read more

This was a long awaited trip : originally booked in 2020 . The service of Santiago Ways was perfect throughout . As 2 couples we wanted the best en-suite accommodation on the way , our luggage transported and also we are vegans/vegetarians .Everything was perfect including a wonderful range of... meals in all the accommodation and help when we struggled to get in contact with one accommodation owner . No issues with baggage transfer and the transfer to Porto to Ourense was again perfect .Santiago Ways enables us to have the full Camino experience without any stress . Ylenia was reassuring and knowledgeable in the original planning and at no time did we feel that our quieres were not dealt with well.We all wholeheartedly recommend Santiago Ways to anyone planning to do the Camino .Thank youread more

I would like to thank Alba Martinez and the whole team of Santiago ways for the job well done. My Husband really enjoyed the experience, of course without the helps of Santiago ways in organising everything, the Camino hike would be a very tough journey otherwise. But the attention to details,... communication, and so on..were excellent and highly recommended.read more

Four of us 65 years old, used Santiago Ways (SW) and they took great care of us every step of 500 miles. This included one (1) night when, after some slow going, they even called us to make sure we found the hotel! (We did!) SW and their professional handling our our itinerary could not have... been better. Our top recommendation for them! Fourontheway- October 2021 Falmouth MA USAread more

We were very happy with our experience with Santiago Ways. They were very professional, very responsive, extremely organized, and booked lovely places for us, including an exceptional casa rural. They provided detailed instructions about where we were staying and our luggage was always waiting for... us at our destination. All this at an excellent value. For reference, we completed the last stage of the French Camino, from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. Five stars for Santiago Ways!read more

My husband and I hiked the Camino De Santiago from Pamplona to Logroño. We used Santiago Ways to help plan our adventure... booking our hotels, breakfast, picnic and dinner as well as transferring luggage during the hike. It was extremely helpful because we traveled in February which is not a... popular time and all services are not available. The communication and service was excellent. Before, after and during the hike Angie Rinaudo kept in contact and answered all our questions in a timely manner. All the accommodations were excellent. We are planning to do more sections in the future and will definitely use Santiago Ways again.read more

This was our first time in Spain and first time walking on a daily basis. Santiago Ways answered our many questions and concerns over many emails. We started our walk September 1st 2019 in Sarria and took 10 days to walk to Santiago de Compostela. Santiago Ways booked our lodging in 10 different... places along with luggage transfers. We asked that all breakfasts,dinner and picnic lunch be included. Our accommodations varied from Albergues. Inns, Boutique hotel, to Bed and Breakfast. We truly enjoyed our picnic lunch as we could stop anywhere and enjoy the view. The accommodations - private room and private bathroom as we requested were not disappointing. We would recommend Santiago Way to anyone that needs some assistance in walking The Way.read more

We recently walked part of the Camino de Santiago Trail. Our trip was arranged by Santiago Ways. We were part of a larger group we had a tour guide and our luggage was transferred each day. Our trip was an immense success, everything went very smoothly and that in part was down to Veronica who... arranged the trip. She was very helpful throughout the whole planning procedure even arranging for a private transfer from the airport to Sarria, our start point. I would recommend Santiago Ways and Veronica and would definitely use them again.read more

After comparing several agencies, our group of 7 decided to go with Santiago Ways for our first Camino experience as they offered an all round better price for our customised package that included insurance, meals, accommodation, luggage transfers and any required transportation to accommodation.... The booking process was straightforward, they responded quickly to various enquiries and changes that we requested and they provided guidance on preparation and the Camino route which we referred to throughout our trip.We had a couple of issues including one of our group injuring her ankle but Santiago Ways were available 24 x 7 and they resolved everything efficiently including all communications required with local accommodation providers, taxis etc. which was very reassuring. Pilgrims we met who organised their accommodation en route had to deal with lack of accommodation in some locations and then they had to organise transport to and from the nearest hostels. We didn’t have any stress like this at all which left us free to enjoy the stunning scenery and great camaraderie on this wonderful trip. We will use Santiago Ways again and we can highly recommend them.read more

I booked my Camino de Santiago for Sept 2019 through Santiago Ways and the company made the experience absolutely wonderful. Vanessa Veiga was a pleasure to deal with, very professional and informative and made it very easy to arrange the entire trip. The accommodations and board booked through... Santiago ways were amazing, we were very pleased with the diversity (B&B, hotel, hostel) of the accommodations along with the service and cleanliness of the accommodations. The luggage transfer worked flawlessly. I would rate Santiago Ways 10 out of 10 and recommend them to anyone looking to book their Camino.read more

I was so pleased with the trip Santiago Ways set up for me to Walk The Camino Francés. My first experience was when I requested a quote in October 2018 for a August 2019 walk. Ylenia went above and beyond to answer all our questions and to provide numerous options for me before I made my final... decision on the trip. She was patient and thorough as I gathered information. Her follow up was amazing and her attention to detail was very assuring! Once I booked the trip she continued sending updates until we departed for Spain. Once we arrived in Spain Ylenia and the Operations team stayed in touch via email to answer any questions. The hotel accommodations for 39 days were all wonderful and the baggage transfer was perfect. Every day our bags were at the hotel by the time we arrived. One day my friend left her hat in the hotel room and Santiago Ways Operation team sent an email saying the hat would be waiting at our next hotel. That’s going “above and beyond”. I highly recommend using Santiago Ways for your Camino!!!!! We walked with numerous people who had used other companies and they all thought Santiago Ways had the best hotels. I’ve already referred a friend to them and definitely will use them for my next Camino. Thank you Santiago Ways!!!!!!!!read more

We booked our "Camino" trip via this agency. Our agent was Vanessa and we are ecstatic with the service! The booking went very smoothly. All our questions were answered and all our wished addressed in a very quick manner. Actually, the agency had to ping us a few times via email and WhatsApp, as we... were the ones too slow to answer them. They even made arrangements for us to take our dog on the trip and book the appropriate hotels. The luggage transfer was wonderful. We had a pickup from Santiago to our starting point on "Camino" that also worked perfectly. We can highly recommend the services of this agency. I have to admit that I have not compared prices and if there is something cheaper on the market, but the service we received here was impeccable. We had a wonderful trip and are planing to come back next year and walk another "Camino" again. Buen Camino everyone!read more

Walking the Camino was the best experience of my life! Partially because I had such a great support crew of Santiago Ways! I worked with Vanessa Veiga who organized my trip to suit my needs. When some details needed to be changed, she kindly worked with me to make it happen. My accommodations... were all very different- from Casa Rurals to hostels to Pensions, but they were all excellent. The luggage transfer worked perfectly, too. I highly recommend this company to anyone planning to walk the Camino!read more

I used Santiago Ways on my first Camino in March this year. The trail that I did was from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela. The experience was truly fantastic ….. mainly because of Santiago Ways.My contact person at Santiago Ways was Vanessa Veiga. Right from the onset Vanessa was extremely helpful... , sensitive and very attentive to all my requests. She responded swiftly to all my mails. She selected the right hotels which were excellent and the luggage always arrived on time.I am planning my second Camino next April and I would continue to use Santiago Ways and in particular Vanessa. Thanks a million Vanessa and continue the good work to all the pilgrims who want to experience a true Camino.Winston FernandezKuala Lumpur, Malaysiaread more

Santiago Ways made it possible for me to do the pilgrimage. At 69 I did not like the idea of staying in a hostal, I like a bit of privacy and comfort! And I could not have done the walking while carrying my luggage. Adriana at Santiago Ways helped me work out my route and booked hotels and luggage... transfers. Also, having them there in case I had any problems, was very reassuring. Adriana was only a phone call away. I recommend using Santiago Ways for anyone having doubts about doing the pilgrimage - they make it so much easier!read more

Vanessa was awesome and we loved Santiago Ways! We had a group of 8 college friends that were all around 50-years old. The deciding factor in choosing Santiago Ways was the group discount offered for groups of 6 or more. All other companies threshold for a discount was 10 people. Vanessa and the... staff were awesome to work with throughout the process. We did the five day hike from Sarria to Santiago. We requested superior accommodations in places that were on the trail. The accommodations were top notch and 4 of the 5 places were directly on the trail. The exception was our night in Lavacolla in which we were .4 miles off the trail. It was our choice to stay in that location in order to have a shorter walk to Santiago on our final day so we could make the noon mass. We were pleasantly surprised at how clean each place was and they all had great bar and restaurant choices in close proximity - with the exception of Lavacolla so we recommend eating on-site - it was very good.read more

My family and I used Santiago Ways to organize our recent pilgrimage from Lisbon to Porto. They did an excellent job booking us (as much as possible) into wonderful, small, family-run hotels and coping with the many changes dictated by "group" travel. In addition, one of us was traveling by bicycle... whilst the rest were walking, necessitating even more planning which Santiago Ways did with patience and grace. We recommend using Santiago Ways for Camino support and planning!!! Jan Schubertread more

My family and I (6 of us) just finished walking the Lisbon to Porto section of the Camino Portuguese. It was a wonderful experience for us. The hotels we were booked into were well chosen and the food was great. We also found the path to be well marked making way finding fairly easy. A great relief... as we had heard it was not well marked. Our luggage was efficiently transferred each day and everything ran very smoothly. Thank you Santiago Ways! We would definitely recommend your services to our friends. Jillread more

Santiago Ways made my memorable hike trouble-free. I had excellent hotels, tasty breakfasts, dependable baggage forwarding, informative advance information, and a dependable drive to deliver me to Sarria. I really appreciate their attention to detail!

We booked our El Camino with Santiago Ways and we were very lucky to have Silvia as our agent. She did a fantastic job organizing our trip, always promptly responding to our inquiries, impeccable English, all accommodations that she arranged for us were great, and our luggage was always delivered... to the next location timely, before our arrivals to sites. I would definitely recommend Santiago Ways and ask for Silvia to be your representative.read more

This trip changed my life in ways I could not describe! I knew the hiking was going to be a challenge, but Santiago Ways made it so easy to plan and execute.

Have just finished El Camino de Santiago from Sarria with the help of Santiago Ways. They have been extremely accesible from day one. The transfer of the luggage throught the five days was impecable, always finding the luggage in the room on every stage of the way. The food and lodging was very... acceptable. If I were to do it again I would not hesitate to contact them once more for their assistance! "Buen camino".read more

Simply put - an incredible experience! This agency looks after every last detail. I walked the last 100 km of the Camino with their help and I definitely want to go back soon and do a longer part of the route. When that happens (which I hope is soon) I'll definitely be using Santiago Ways again!... Thanks for everything.read more
