Why Choose the Caminoist?

Caminoist

We offer unique Camino planning services rooted in walking thousands of kilometers over 7 different routes of the Camino de Santiago and Via Francigena. We have walked these trails ourselves and use this background to provide you the foundation you need for your own journey.

From our initial consultation, we seek to build an itinerary for a trip that is specific to you. Each itinerary is provided at a set price based on the number of days you intend to travel and includes:

  • Ground logistics and transport information
  • Overall route description
  • Day to day walking distances and overview
  • Accommodation recommendations 
  • At the request of the client we can also make ground transport, logistics and accommodation bookings for a fee.

Each step of the way we help you think through not only the logistics of your travel but also the experience you want to have on the trail. Itineraries include historical insight, links to the best informational resources available on the Camino and our availability to help you not only plan but also feel ready for your trip.
