Hi Annemiek, just want to thank you very much for organising our holiday to Nothern Spain. It was a fantastic trip from start to finish. Drove over a 1000k from Bilbao to Finisterre. The scenery and coast were breathtaking. All hotels were first class in their own individual ways. Best of all was hotel in Santiago. Location, atmosphere and staff were fantastic. With first class cuisine in downstairs restaurant. Thanks again. Look forward to coming back to spain. Maybe do east coast next time. Regards, Michael and Eleanor Connolly
Hi Rasmus, Thought I would let you know how we found our accommodation you booked for us! Thank you for the last minute booking from Astorga to Santiago. It was so good to know we did not have to keep phoning places ahead and to be able to trust we had good places to stay in. All of the bookings you made for us were good to excellent. Most of the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful, especially when you consider we did not speak Spanish.
Dear Rasmus and company, I am now on my way home to Honolulu. This experience has been fantastic and your company did an exceptional job. I could not be more pleased and I will certainly recommend you to friends who might want to walk the Camino. I walked 360km during those 18 days...and probably lost about 5kg along the way in weight! The accommodations were very fine. The place in O Pino was superb!!! The luggage was transported everyone and on time. I return to Honolulu with a deep sense of satisfaction. I have come to appreciate Spain in an entirely new way. I’ve been thinking today that I might like to return at some point and walk the Camino from St. Jean Pied de Port to Pamplona!!!! But, that is for another time.
Dear Rasmus, This is to send a very big ´thank you' to you and your team. We really appreciated our trip on the path of St.James. Everything was very well organized and worked perfectly. Thanks again!
First of all thank you for the great organization, everything went well, the accommodations excellent, everything a pilgrim needs. It was one of the most beautiful trips of my life, the impressions of the different landscapes, beautiful! Best regards, Richard (Germany)
We had a brilliant time. A fantastic host made the trip. He said at the start that although we didn’t know each other by the end of the holiday we’d be best of friends, and we were. My son said that even if I wasn’t going again next year, he would. And I really mean it!
A very special setup! A high-energy ride and tour de force in the Ria de Arousa. The feeling is very familiar, the touch very personal, the atmosphere very authentic, the nature beautiful, the food great! All together like being on tour with your good friends, who have done everything to impress you. At times almost reaching crazy over-ecstatic heights. 10 hours in the kayak each day (breaks included) combined with overnight stays in dorms and tents drains your energy and your batteries will be low at the end of the week! Happy but tired!
Dear Sophia, Thanks a lot for your quick respons and actions. The trip we made is now a wonderfull memory. We have a great story to tell to quite a lot interested perons. We will advise possible bikers or walkers to book their pilgrimage via Spain is More. This for security and service reasons.
Hi SIM Team, The trip you organized was just great. I absolutely loved all the hotels you arranged and checking in was never a problem. I did walk the full camino and next year I plan to walk the camino del Norte.
Dear team, I have only started my Camino but I wanted to express my gratitude for having selected such wonderful and tasteful hotels. After a heavy walk this is all one needs to recover and regain strength for the next challenge. The hotels are awesome!!! Thanks
Thank you so much - just also want to say that when i walked the Camino - st Francis - 800 kms - the arrangements made were excellent - thank you. Please also thank Rasmus for me.
There are not enough great adjectives in any language to say how highly we think of Spain is More. After 16 stages we were having a rough time on the Norte Camino. We learned of Spain is More and contacted them. Within two hours we had a very reasonable price, accommodations for the next night, and a 17 day itinerary getting us to Santiago.
General remarks: This was a very well organised trip. Staff at Spain is More were always very helpful and responded to e-mails very quickly. The documentation was good and arrived in good time to be used during my planning before departure. Hotels, baggage transfers and transfer to Sarria: All hotels and baggage arrangements were good. I particularly liked the charming (and helpful) staff at Hostal Casa Benilde in Palas de Rei, the comfortable room and good food at Hotel O Pino (especially the egg & bacon breakfast !), and the whole experience at the Hotel in Santiago. The hotel in Santiago was not only ideally placed adjacent to the old part of the city, but very close to Plaza Galicia, from where I had to catch an early bus to return to the airport. The hotel in Arzua was the least comfortable, with no hot water early in the morning and thin walls between rooms. My impression was not helped by the fact that my room overlooked a road building activity, which was noisy and periodically shook the building from 15.00 until 19.30. There were no problems with my taxi from Lavacolla to Sarria and all the baggage transfers were efficient. Excursion to Finisterre: This day trip was excellent. I appreciated the fact that we were a small group (9 people, I think), in a small mini-coach. The guide, Laura, was first class and translated everything into English for my benefit. She also answered all my questions and took the trouble to find additional information for me. We were not rushed at any time, but had 4 stops at interesting places, and saw some nice scenery while travelling.
Hi Spain Is More, Thank you for a well planer trip for us in may thi you to Camino Santiago from O'Cebreiro. We had a fantastic trip. And would like to here you suggestion for our next trip. As informed above we walk from O`cebrio to Santiago. We would link assimilation trip before O´Cebreiro. Again fro total 10 days, with 8 days. We would like to end our trip in Santiago de compostello, if it is possible. The trip fra O`cebrio til Santiago should by car.
Dear Rasmus and Sophia, One week after my camino finished and I'm gradually coming down to earth. I want to thank you wholeheartedly for organising such an incredible journey and wonderful experience. The range of accommodation was fantastic from the albergue to the one with the spa bath and gigantic beds, all were perfect in their own way. A big thank you too for fixing the accommodation for my husband, both hotels were excellent with lovely helpful staff. Not having to think about flights, tickets, trains made it so easy and relaxing.
Hi, Just a note to say how pleased we are with the service provided by Spainismore. The train trip was delightful. Kind regards Wayne Fairclough
Dear Team Spain is More, We're back in the Netherlands after a great vacation by Spain is More We want to thank you for the organization of this trip! Everything was we'll arranged. The Hotels were good en we enjoyed the combination of the city Bilbao, Picos de Europa and some days relaxing on the beach.
Dear Rasmus, We really enjoyed our Camino Primitivo! Truly a great opportunity and glad we took it! Without your service, we may have had to quit the Camino. Lisa developed very bad blisters on the bottom of her foot. If we had had to carry a full pack and then find an alburque at the end of the day, we probably would not have made it. So we are very thankful for your arrangements!
Dear Spain is More Sofia and Rasmus, We are now back in Denmark after a fantastic holiday in Galicia. On behalf of everyone I want to express a Big Thanks you. Thanks for a well arranged and well planned travel package from first contact until back home The tour was great and showed the variety of Galicia added great weather all days The fact that all flight bookings and seat reservation was done is outstanding service No issues at hotel check in and staffing very service minded Great variety of hotels all at high standard and locations Car hiring was perfect and easy The travel book prior to holiday is great and outstanding service So a clear 5 star of 5 from your side.
Just got back home after the Camino adventure with Neil Herbert that Spain is More arranged for us. High praise and lots of referrals coming your way. Everything was seamless and perfect and not a single detail was missed. Thank you so much for giving us nothing to worry about except our sore feet!
Just returned from a fantastic holiday! We have visited spots, stayed in places and tried things we never would have been able to plan ourselves. We would highlight the mountain trekking in Picos as one of the “peaks” on our holiday. We decided to go all the extra miles, which was given as options on the trip. The views we experienced and the challenges we met was well worth it.
6 ladies from Norway just arrived from Madrid. We have been walking the Camino from Leon to Santiago de Compostela. Started the 31 of August and flew back to Norway the 16 of September. Unforgettable experience for all of us. Age from 75 to 64 ! We come from Stavanger, Bergen, Florø, Ålesund and Trondheim. Love it !
Virginia We wanted to thank you for setting up our Pilgrimage. Everything ,and I mean everything ,came off without a hitch! From the speed train to Leon to the Taxi to the airport in Santiago at 4:30 in the morning.
Virginia, thank you for organizing such a great trip. You have exquisite taste in hotels and the more I read the little green book, the more I appreciated all the tips and restaurant suggestions buried in there. It was truly an invaluable resource.
Hola Virginia, sadly we are back home which means our trip to Spain is over. Mucho Gracius for organising a wonderful itinerary for us. Cadaques was better than we could imagine. Ollo was fantastic, walking in the forest to the source of the Urederra river was amazing, Maria at the Hotel was very helpful and friendly. We drove into Pamplona three times for meals and to visit the Bull Ring and enjoyed a pleasant walk around the city.
Dear Rasmus, Its a while ago but I want to write my experience. I traveled from 28-02-2014 till 14-03-2014 First thanks for the good and well prepared trip. The information book I liked it and its was helpful. I was satisfied about the accommodations. Kind and friendly people. I will recommend your organisation. I am very satisfied about Spain is more.
Virginia, We all had a wonderful time, especially our granddaughter Sierra. All your work paid off very well as the trip went like a well oiled machine.
I have been meaning to write to you to tell you about your picks and selections and help to us during our pilgrimage in Spain. First let me tell you that everything went smoothly and we never had any problems with any of your suppliers or the plans that you had made for us. Everything was wonderful. We enjoyed getting to do our walk and seeing what we believe was the real Spain away from the big cities. We learned much and my Spanish is much improved. I did not realize there are so many mountains in northern Spain.
Hi Virginia It is really sad to reply using an old email as it makes us realise our trip is well and truly over! However, I wanted to thank you for organising a wonderful holiday. It was a truly great experience to visit your country and in particular the north of Spain. We loved the different regions and felt we got a real feel for the countryside and the people. The hotels you booked us into were superb. Just perfect for us!
Rasmus, wij willen jouw bedanken. Want jij hebt de Camino op deze manier veel makkelijker gemaakt. U en uw bedrijf heeft uitstekend werk gedaan met de routebeschrijving, reserveringen, en hotels. We gebruikten soms uw aanbevelingen voor eten in Santiago de Compostela en Madrid. Ik vond uw samenvattingen van het gebied, de geschiedenis en de culturele informatie, uitstekend. We hadden een geweldige reis, en zouden zo weer boeken met Spanje is meer.
Rasmus, thank you for making our journey along the Camino so easy. You and your company did an excellent job with directions, bookings, and hotels. We are very happy the Camino started in Leon, as that let us see another great city and experience a different part of Spain. We sometimes used your recommendations for eating in the Santiago de Compostela and Madrid. I found your summaries of the area, the history and the cultural information, excellent. We had a great trip, and would book again with Spain is More.
(2 weeks in Madrid, Basque Country, Cantabria, Galicia, Salamanca, Segiovia) Dear Virginia, We are now safely back in England and beginning to tell everyone about our time in northern Spain, in very positive terms. And we also find ourselves singing praises of you and your organization. I had learned on previous trips to places like Northern Africa, India and the Yemen that it was a very good idea to find a specialist travel agent who knew personally those particular territories, and so I was delighted to find you as we began thinking about North Eastern Spain.
Hi Rasmus Greetings from Dublin, Ireland! I want to thank you for organizing my trip to do the El Camino, from Sarria to Santiago. Everything went really well and the whole trip was wonderful. All the hotels were really good and everything worked out great.
Dear Rasmus: I don't know where to start singing the praises of Spain is More. From the beginning of our trip to the end of it, everything went very smoothly. Maureen and I cannot express strongly enough our gratitude and appreciation for all the work you and your colleague, Virginia, put into the planning of it.
I have been giving your company name to all of my friends who ask how we made the trip happen in such a short time. I'm thinking about trying to organize a small "group" of teachers to go next summer. Thank you for your good service
We arrived home to middle Ontario, Canada today, missing Hurricane Sandy by a couple of days. Our trip was absolutely wonderful, all you did to make it seamless, is much appreciated. The rooms were very nice. The taxi arrived on time and the gentlemen went to no end of trouble to make sure we saw everything. We felt safe under your umbrella of care. We made friends who we hope will visit in Canada in the coming year.
At the end of June, 2012, my wife and I walked the Camino de Santiago from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. It was a wonderful experience that began with something new for us.-- travel from Madrid via the night sleeper train.
Dear Ramus, Greetings! My experience in Spain was simply amazing. It exceeded all of my expectations: people, food, itinerary, and accomodations. I am so grateful for your company, Spain is More, for setting this up for me. As it turned out, there were two other men from Denmark who shared the same timeframe and it couldn't have worked out better. We shared breakfast and evening meals and a fair amount of drinking throughout our travels.
Hi! We had a wonderful pilgrimage! Was tired in the evening, so we often wondered if we could move on the next day. But every morning we were ready and was anxious to see what the day would bring.
Dear Spain is More! Thanks for a great vacation. We walked the 300 km without a single problem. Everything was very well organized and we loved the material you send us before the trip. Its was really helpful. Very nice hotels along the road. We got really surprised and we didn’t see a single hotel along the road we rather wanted to stay at.
