- Camino Frances - August 16 - September 19 2017
Hello everyone - I initially was contemplating going on a pre-mapped/routed CF walk with bag transfers and hotel bookings. However, after posting a question to receive tips and guidance there was an unanimous response by everyone (kind enough to take the time to offer me advice) to take the Camino as it comes and to NOT plan everything to the last detail simply because there are too many variables to contend with.
The fact also remains that the only two people that I have actually spoken with at length are 2 women who both walked the CF last year in May (at different times) and both of them highly recommended having an agency plan the trip and that it worked out well for them.
I know that there *are* people who opt for the pre-mapped trip but was wondering if after having used a tour company once, whether they would do the same or whether they would "go with the flow" and open themselves up to the adventure of the unknown and unpredictable if they got the chance to walk again.
Please note that I am aware that these are two completely opposing schools so I don't want to start a debate so much as hear from the agency-guided people about their experience/thoughts/regrets/resolutions.
Thank you in advance.
