CAMINO WOMEN REVIEWS

My recent trip with The Camino Women to the Greek Islands was fantastic.. our tour guide Yannis was exceptional, he went over & above to make us all feel safe & enjoy our holiday from the beginning to the end. The Greek Islands are so beautiful & the food so scrumptious I thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. We did so many different things & saw so many different places, the sceneries in each Island were breathtaking. I did find a couple of the hikes very hard but Yannis always had a back up plan for those that did not want to do them. Over all this was a wonderful experience & a tick off my bucket list. Such a well organised company that has your back with everything & the accommodation places were top notch.Thanks Camino Women, I hope to do another tour in the near future 🥰🇬🇷💕

For a long time I have been fascinated by the silk road trade routes and when the opportunity came for me to travel to 4 of the countries that had been part of this ancient history I took the chance. I was not disappointed.I knew the trekking would be tough, the kilometers per day and the altitudes we would get to was part of the Camino Women preparation. But the incredible scenery, the beauty of these Mountains just made me push to the top. You just wanted to see everything. At any of our pit stops along the way we would be in awe of our surroundings.This could be great expanses of green rolling hills with the nomads moving their stock or walking through forests. And of course navigating the rocky terrain when we were above the tree line. We were never far from wild flowing rivers and this all added to the magic of the trip. The scenery really is spectacular. We had great guides who gave us history lessons as we walked and encouraged us to the top. And the porters added to the banter and the fun that we all had on the trekking days.And then there was our cultural experience woven among the trekking. We had a great balance between the great city monuments that we had some past knowledge of to the intimate times when we were in peoples homes eating with them or observing their ancient cultural practices and traditions. We learnt so much about the people by spending time in their villages. I have a great memory of the guide taking us to a local woman to have our washing done and leaving with clean clothes and a bag of apricots that she had picked from her yard.I have travelled a lot and this trip would come out as the best or the favourite trip that I have done,If I had to pick a country it would be Kyrgyzstan but only a whisker separates my love for these 4 countries.

I have just completed Peaks of the Balkans with a lovely group of women, who like myself enjoy hiking. The mountains in the Balkans were magnificent, the guides who supported us were beautiful humans who are not only passionate about their countries but also about their history and culture. I highly recommend this trip with Camino Women for both the hiking and the cultural experiences. I loved the challenge of preparing and training for a level 5 hike and the feeling of reaching those amazing peaks was reward for all the training. I’m keen to do another amazing hike already.

I recently returned from the 16 day Peaks of the Balkans trip through Kosovo, Montenegro and Albania.What a wonderful mix of culture and walking! The guides Rodina, Donika and Rina were fantastic plus I met a lovely group of like minded women! Oh and the food!! But the standout for me was the hike up to the glacier in Montenegro, a challenging day with stunning views

I wish to highly recommend the hiking trek w Camino Women“The Peaks of the Balkans”.To experience such spectacular scenery was breath taking led by professional and most knowledgeable local guides. Experiences of authentic life styles of the mountains to home cooked meals daily made from the heart. I so, recommend this hiking experience to anyone considering.Happy Hiker Sue 🥾🤩

I recently completed the Tajikistan and Kazakhstan Trip. It was an excellent trip which included everything from challenging hiking to wonderful cultural experiences. The tour guide Aisha and trekking guide Azat were excellent. There were many highlights including a short horse trek, kayaking , the eagle hunter, sleeping in yurts and the amazing scenery to name a few.I then joined the Tajikistan & Uzbekistan trip which was also fabulous - more trekking in the remote Fann Mountains, sleeping in tents and eating wonderful camp food followed by a full cultural experience in Uzbekistan with the most amazing architecture. Another 5 star thanks to Camino Women.

Camino Women took me to places I'd never dare venture on my own. The guides and my companions made the experience a delight from beginning to end. Guides Shush (in Armenia) and Mariami (in Georgia) were organised, knowledgeable, considerate, responsive and fun. My companions a hoot.

Tajikistan stole my heart. The people, incredibly friendly, welcoming and proud. The food, an absolute revelation. The scenery, harsh at times but so breathtakingly beautiful too. I shared this amazing trip with five other women, we may have been small in numbers, but we made up for it in big laugh out loud moments and a number of very funny incidents. Some hiking days were quite challenging but always so rewarding. Along with four terrific porters who turned out to be rather good dancers as well, and Mullah our much more than a cook who never ceased to amaze us how he could produce such fabulously delicious food every day from his kitchen tent, and Muqim our very fun loving, life loving, incredibly generous and informative guide whose deep passion for his country was evident every day. In Uzbekistan our lovely guide Inna showed us the beautiful cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, both visually completely different and both quite beautiful, particularly at night. Inna’s love for her country and its history was obvious and the knowledge she shared with us made our time together so enjoyable. Thank you Camino Women for curating this trip to such an interesting part of the world. It gave me the chance to meet five fabulous women whom I would walk again with anywhere in an instant.

LJUBLJANA TO CROATIACity • Mountains • LakesWhat an incredible journey filled with beautiful places, wonderful people, laughter, delicious food and unforgettable memories.This trip was about more than the places we visited. It was the people, laughter, food, challenges and unexpected adventures that made it so memorable.The whole tour was great. It surpassed my expectations."

What a fantastic trip to Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, from the beautiful city of Bishkek, with lots of marble buildings and alot of greenery and flowers, to the magnificent scenery of the mountains. The Kyrgyz people are so gentle, welcoming and proud of their country. Almaty was also a lovely city in Kazakhstan, both have so much history. Our guide Aisha in Kyrgyzstan was a beautiful person, so much knowledge and proud of her country. You would be proud to call her your daughter. In Kazakhstan thankyou to Arsentiy for showing us you beautiful country too, you were such a gentleman. Highly recommend this trip.
