- Fantastic company to work with I’ve used this company twice now, and have experienced simply excellent customer service both times. Many thanks again to Mercedes for her planning advice, accommodation choices, and responsiveness!Galiwonders is a woman-run company located in Galicia that prides itself on local knowledge, and it shows. The accommodations are all top notch and it’s clear their team travels to their selected hotels, pensions, guesthouses, etc regularly to ensure that they are meeting the expected standards. The access to 24/7 service via a text chat is fantastic, particularly for solo travel and for those like myself who don’t speak Spanish or Galician well enough to manage complex situations. I’ve recommended this company to many people who are looking for help with Camino planning. Returning customers get a 10% discount on bookings, and so do those who book from referrals, which is a lovely bonus. Many thanks to the team and looking forward to planning my next Camino journey!read moreread less

- Another great Camino adventure with Galiwonders! I walked the Portuguese Coastal Camino from Porto to Santiago Compostela in mid September, my 2nd Camino organised by the wonderful Liliana. Such great service from Galiwonders with detailed itineraries, good accommodation and reasonable prices too. It was so lovely to meet and be welcomed by some of the Galiwonders team when I visited the office during my overnight stay in Pontevdra en route to Santiago, such a shame I missed Liliana who was on holiday! I have just decided the dates for my 2025 Camino, returning to Logroño and onward to Leon for my 2nd leg of the Camino Frances; I can’t wait for Liliana to arrange another great tailor made itinerary for me.read moreread less

My first Camino Gali Wonders team ( specially Liliana) were great coordinating every step of our journey. The price was reasonable.They are also very fast responding to the pilgrims's requests.The documents were sent on time and were very explicit.The hotels were very comfortable to rest after a long and exhausting walk, the luggage was transported in between hotels in timely manner.This was our first Camino and the experience was great, encountering people from many countries, with different motivations. The Portuguese Coastal Way was safe with beautiful views, at times a little challenging.read moreread less

Fantastic experience w Gali! Gali Wonders planned an amazing trek for us we walked with a dog and they pulled together a fantastic journey, helping us seam together parts of the France, Portugual, and Finesterre walked, all within Galicia. They were always super helpful and available — we contacted them during our trek with a few questions, and they had our back within moments. Amazing life experience. We are definitely coming back. Highly recommend Gali Wonders!read moreread less

10 Star Experience! Wow! I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience using Galiwonders for my most recent Camino! My trip was organized with ease, fairly priced and I had attentive and kind service every step of the way. I went to visit the Galiwonders office after my Camino and I was in awe how kind everyone was. I was greeted by everyone in the office and was given a tour. I will most definitely be using Galiwonders again, I have already started planning my next Camino with them! And if you desire a supported Camino, I cannot recommend this team enough. Thank you so much Galiwonders for making my Camino extra special!read moreread less

Fantastic first Camiño experience. Excellent experience with GaliWonders - we book with Alba who emailed us right up until our travel dates. We booked about 2 months ahead and everything worked like clockwork - each accommodation was as described, our suitcase turned up every day at the correct place, every place had either a restaurant attached or nearby for food, no matter what time we arrived, and we loved the difference between town and rural accommodations - totally different vibe. Almost all places we stayed were booked on the Camino itself, so we rarely had to leave it (except 500m on one occasion - but it was worth it!) and all places were spotlessly clean. We didn’t have any emergencies so didn’t need to contact Galliwonders en-route but all documentation and labels and routes were provided as promised. We would be happy to recommend them to friends.read moreread less

Galiwonders helps make the dream of completing the Camino de Santiago a reality! Galiwonders has the perfect tour for those who wish to bicycle the entire, or even a part of the Camino Frances. In my communications with them for the past half year arranging my trip, they have always been professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and rapidly responsive. They bend over backwards to ensure that we get the Camino experience we desire. Once here, in Spain, my friends and I found that everything was arranged perfectly, with wonderful hotels, placed right in the centers of major cities, & right on the route of the Camino, with friendly hotel staffs that are very familiar with Galiwonders and provide seamless support to ensure we get the best experience. They’ve also provided numerous videos and website information so that we are mentally and logistically prepared for the lengthy and often demanding course of the Camino Frances. They have exceeded all my expectations in preparing, arranging and educating for this trip, and I recommend them without reservation. Will definitely use again if and when I decide to repeat the Camino!read moreread less

Grreat walk along the Camino del Norte I walked the Camino del Norte from Irun to Fisterre. Galiwonders was very efficient at setting up the reservations. The accommodations were generally excellent. When there were hiccoughs along the way, for example, one hotel had misfiled my information, the agent at Galiwonders was able to correct the issue quickly, on a Friday, after the main office had closed. When I take my next walk in Spain, I plan to use agency again.read moreread less

An Expertly Planned Trip! Our Camino with Galiwonders was planned with care and executed seamlessly without any surprises! From the beginning, I was impressed with Loreto and her team at Galiwonders who offer a completely “customizable” Camino experience. Loreto listened to my wants and needs, and expertly designed a fabulous experience for our walk on the Camino Ingles and Camino Finisterre & Muxia. We had our mix of accommodations, from rather basic to awesome hotels with great AC, to a great 2- day stay at a Casa Rural, to a luxurious stay at O Camiño Fala with their gourmet restaurant and their 5- course tasting menu with wine! Each day offered a walking distance between 9-15 miles which was great and very doable! While I had previously used a different Camino agency based out of the UK for my last two Caminos, I liked that Galiwonders was a Spanish company based in Galicia. I highly recommend Galiwonders, and I will surely use them to plan my next Camino!read moreread less

- Camino de Santiago from Sarria Galiwonders is an exceptional group to work with. They set up the exact itinerary I wanted, checked in with me regularly prior to and during my Camino, and were very helpful in planning this journey. Galiwonders is a price leader - exceptional value for significantly less $ than others charge for the same trip. I'm very pleased with their service and am booking another trip with them for October. Highly recommended.read moreread less

Galiwonders Camino Pilgrimage Currently on our last day of our Portuguese Way pilgrimage to Santiago and it has been flawless. Hotels have been excellent. We worked with Galiwonders planning our trip and are glad we did. Our bags have been waiting at our hotels every day. All hotels have been very close to the Camino, have been clean and have provided a substantial breakfast to start our day.Our welcome package was waiting at our hotel in Porto and provided everything needed for a successful Camino!We will be using Galiwonders on every Camino from now on!Thanks Galiwonders for making this a Camino to remember!!read moreread less

Location ! Location ! Location! We travelled from Canada to porto Portugal . Galiwonders was with us through our whole trip! Every accommodation they booked for us was awesome ! Location on them all was perfect! We were in walking distance to everything. The luggage traffic was uneventful lol and that is what you want. Food was good at all locations, some better than other but we did not go hungry. Overall I would travel with this company again and I have no problem recommending them . Buen Camino !!read moreread less

Walking the Portuguese Coastal Camino I walked 135kms of the Portuguese Coastal Camino from Porto to Baiona starting 16th September 2024. My entire experience was fantastic thanks to Galiwonders who were there every step of the way from helping me finalize my itinerary and make the hotel bookings along the way and responding to any queries en route timeously through whatsapp. So responsive and professional and I would not hesitate to recommend Galiwonders to friends and family. The 3 star hotels were perfect for my needs and very central. I chose not to book dinner each evening at my accommodation and this was a good decision. Far better to explore the town you are in and find a nice restaurant with a view.I found the middle of September to be a perfect time to walk this section of the Camino as the weather was not too hot, not too many pilgrims but just enough to give me confidence as I was walking alone (not that I ever questioned my safety). Everyone I met was really friendly and helpful. I took one hiking stick but didn't use it. The terrain is not technical with many boardwalks. It's a good idea to take wet weather gear. I walked in trail running shoes which were perfectly adequate. I had packed a camel pack for water along the way but didn't need it as there were lots of places to pull in and buy bottled water which made my backpack lighter.read moreread less

Great company I booked my Baiona to Santiago trip with Galiwonders, and from the start they were quick to respond to all my questions and provided a detailed quote. Now that I’m on the final leg of my journey, I couldn’t be happier with their organization—the hotels, locations, and luggage transfers were all excellent.read moreread less

Great service and price This is the second time we have used Galiwonders. Each time we've been impressed and pleasantly surprised by the quality of accommodation, service and price. We know we could have built a similar package ourselves, but to be honest, the convenience and support and local knowledge the team has is well worth any small premium they charge. We've even compared their costs to other providers and they come out top.read moreread less
