What our customers ask about Best Spiritual Walks in the World
What are typical accommodations like on spiritual walks tours?
You'll stay in a mix of places that really add to the experience, from regular hotels to special spots like converted monasteries and local farmhouses. In Italy's Sacred Walks tour, you get to sleep in places picked for their local charm - like the Hotel Gaudi in Astorga and cozy mountain lodges with great views. If you're heading to the Himalayas, you'll stay in family-run guest houses where you can connect with local life. In Egypt, the tour includes nice 4-star hotels in Cairo, Catherine and Dahab that give you a comfortable base for exploring.
What spiritual and cultural sites do you visit?
These walks take you to some really meaningful places - you'll explore ancient temples, monasteries, churches and quiet hermitages. On the Egypt tour, you'll visit St. Catherine's Monastery and step inside the Hanging Church and Abu Sirga Church. In the Himalayas, you'll discover places like the Tawang Monastery and Urgelling Gompa. One traveler on TourRadar wrote: "The spiritual sites were awe-inspiring - from entering Leon cathedral to reaching Santiago, each place had its own profound significance."
What physical fitness level do I need for spiritual walks tours?
You should be comfortable walking several hours a day - most tours are medium difficulty, good for people with normal fitness. Take the Camino de Santiago - you'll walk between 10-17 miles each day, with some uphill sections up to 2,296 feet. A TourRadar traveler shared this honest take: "The walk was more challenging than expected but absolutely worth it. Be prepared for some serious walking with rewards of beautiful scenery and fellow pilgrims from around the world."
What meals are included on spiritual walks tours?
It depends on the tour, but you usually get breakfast daily and some dinners. The Camino de Santiago includes 11 breakfasts, while in Egypt you get breakfast and dinner at your hotels in Catherine and Dahab. If you're on the Italy tour, all your meals are covered, and they're proper local dishes. One TourRadar traveler mentioned "the delicious traditional food prepared with local ingredients."
When is the best time to go on a spiritual walks tour?
It really depends where you're going. For the Camino de Santiago, aim for May-June or September-October when the weather's just right for walking. Egypt is best between October and April when it's cooler - about 68-77°F (20-25°C). For the Himalayas, plan your trip in April-June or September-November. You'll get the clearest views then, and temperatures stay comfortable at 59-77°F (15-25°C).
How much walking is involved each day?
You'll be walking between 4-8 hours most days. On the Camino de Santiago, expect to cover 10-17 miles daily. The Italy walks are a bit easier - about 3-4 hours of walking with some uphill sections between 656-1,476 feet. Here's what one TourRadar traveler said: "Be prepared for long but rewarding days of walking with plenty of scenic and spiritual stops along the way."
