Wonderful experience - Debora was a wonderful guide. She had great communication with us before our walk offering to adjust at anytime if required as I had knee problems a few weeks before we were due in Oviedo. The walk was quite challenging in parts but we were so glad we did it as the scenery was amazing. Can’t recommend this walk or Debora enough.

Great way to experience ce the Camino de Santiago. - Rebecca was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. She accommodated our time frame and needs to make the walking experience memorable. I highly recommend this experience if you do not have much time to immerse in the Camino experience.

Thinking About Hiking a Camino? Try This Tour - This is a great tour! Highly recommend it for anyone who would like a 1/2 day walk to learn more about the Camino. Debora is an excellent tour guide. She provided historical and cultural information about Oviedo, Asturia, Spain, and the Camino. Participants receive the Camino "passport" and will receive several stamps from stations along the route.
Debora ensured that we walked at our pace, taking breaks as needed and stopping at bars/restaurants along the way for a drink or snack or to use the bathroom. My wife, who was a little concerned about being able to walk 12 km, completed the trek.
Debora also provided great information for those who are contemplating hiking a full Camino.

Outstanding Guide - The highlight of my trip - beyond seeing my daughter who just moved to Oviedo - was this guided Camino hike with Debora. She is just an outstanding guide: highly informative about the Camino, Asturias, local foods and even Spanish history. Debora was helpful, too, in suggesting other must see Oviedo/Asturias venues. They don't get any better than Debora. We'll be looking her up on our next trip here in February.

Lovely day on the Camino - What a great tour! Debora met my niece and I at the designated starting point and we set out on the streets of Oviedo toward the countryside following the Camino Primitivo. Debora shared interesting bits about Oviedo, it’s history and about Asturias. She was easy to talk with, very knowledgeable about the Camino and the ways of the pilgrims making the journey. The route was a perfect little taste of the larger Camino, and it was so nice to get out into the hills outside of Oviedo and experience the nature of Asturias. She even had Trail Passports for us which we stamped at one of the spots along our walk. We ended the walk at a lovely little cafe, had a much appreciated cold drink, followed by a cab ride right back to our hotel. If you want to see a bit of the lovely country outside Oviedo, I highly recommend taking a walk with Debora.

A brushstroke of the road - Deborah is a sweetheart! We learned some tips from the route that we had no idea...very nice landscapes. The organization and rest times very well studied. We were fascinated with the experience and looking forward to continuing the route in the near future.
Thank you very much, Deborah! We are not happy with our achieved road stamps!! (and dare to do the activity in Spanish, you master it very well!!)
