I completed another amazing tour with Lyn. This time the Portuguese Way. It was well organised, everything ran like clockwork. We had a great guide, wonderful accommodation and extremely good meals at the beginning and end of each day. I thoroughly recommend the Camino to anyone who likes a challenge and walking.

Have just returned from the Camino trip and would just like to say that it was extremely well organised and worry free. David our guide was just excellent and demonstrated a high level of care for his chickens. Miguel the local organiser was exuberant, passionate about life and great company at our farewell dinner. The high level of care and attention to detail made the trip a truly wonderful experience. Accommodation, meals, tours were top rate. I was nervous about going on the trip as a sole traveller but from the moment I met my travel companions there was nothing to worry about. I would highly recommend this trip and Lyn Taylor.
