    My Camino de Santiago de Compostela was amazing! However, I am not sure if we got the list of items we needed for the Camino from Tourradar or Explore, but both myself and my friend way overpacked and had to pay extra for luggage. Otherwise, the experience is one of a lifetime! Thanks

    Itinerary was good. Guide was excellent. Hotels a problem. These basic 2-star pñaces are below what I have experienced with Explore in the past. You are dropping well below your previous standards and are overcharging if this is the expectation. Sad.

    The route was fantastic, lots of variety in terrain, scenery, towns and villages. The only thing missing was more of a cultural experience from the guide. He did a wonderful job navigating and finding good restaurants for dinner, but he was unfamiliar with the cultural and natural history of where we were. I would have gotten much more out of the experience with some background information on the unique places we visited.
