CAMINO WOMEN REVIEWS

Most professionally, put-together, well-communicated experience I have ever had" A fun, interactive and cultural experience with like minded women. Well run with excellent communication from camino womens and the guides. Would highly recommend.

I recently had the incredible experience of achieving a lifelong dream with Camino Women. I did the Annapurna Base Camp and Safari trip in October 2024, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the breathtaking sights of the Himalayas to the diverse landscapes on safari, every moment left a lasting impression. The memories of this journey will stay with me forever. The Camino Women team organized every aspect of the trip with the utmost professionalism and efficiency, both in the lead up to and throughout the journey itself. Their meticulous attention to detail ensured a seamless and enriching experience. The team even arranged a surprise birthday cake for me (I had mentioned to them in conversation that I was doing this trip for my 60th birthday) I had never travelled solo before, and I did have some trepidation before the trip. I’m happy to say it was all unnecessary worry on my part. I was in good company, with 9 other lovely ladies who were in a similar situation. Our wonderful guides made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout. For anyone considering a similar adventure, I wholeheartedly recommend Camino Women. This journey was truly unforgettable!

A fabulous 13 days - kickstarted in Athens and then island hopping around the Cyclades - walking ancient trails and largely ‘far from the madding crowds’. A great bunch of women supported by wonderful guide Annie. Seamless travel / transfer arrangements!🤩

Annapurna Base Camp - October 2024. WHAT A BUZZ THAT WAS!! Totally recommend Camino Women. Pre trip prep was well rounded. Nepal is such a wonderful, life altering experience. The whole trip was well planned from the experienced guides on the beautiful Mountain range to the Chitwa National park and elephants wandering past my room in the morning and shopping in Kathmandu while putting my big girl pants on to cross the roads. Camino Women have covered all the bases well. Will keep an eye out for future trips (Peru is looking good!)

From the moment of my first enquiry I knew this trip was something special. Camino Women thought of everything - detailed itineraries, kit lists, prep webinars. Organisation was superb, all that was really asked of me was that I book my flights. I have a family, and I work - on this trip I really could step off the plane and turn off my brain - Sophie and the Camino crew, and our excellent guide Annie took care of every detail. And that is just the organisation, I haven't even started talking about the trip! 10 days island hopping in the Cyclades, just bliss! Scenery, food, people - delights at every turn. Ruins? check. Byzantine churches? check. Donkeys? check. Greek home cooking? check. Glorious, glorious views? Most definitely check. All with the company of the warm, encouraging, knowledgeable, and ever-patient Annie. And six marvellous AU & NZ women providing conversation and camaraderie. Highly, HIGHLY recommend Camino Women and the Greek Islands adventure. I didn't want it to end.

Uzbekistan/Tajikistan Trip June 2024 This was a trip I highly recommend. I found these countries so safe, particularly for women as there was no harassment on the street and I felt completely safe walking the streets alone. Family life is really respected there, it's deeply entrenched in the Muslim way of life there and it was great to see whole families enjoying the parks at night. The history and architecture is so deep, varied and meaningful, even to our western way of life, The people place value on being well educated and were great to converse with. We were so warmly welcomed, I have so many memories of being hugged and photographed by local women. Fabulous guides in both countries!

Organised sooo well. Great prep & follow up! Very accomodating with requests. Guides were very personable & had a great network throughout the hike. Lovely group of ladies - so proud of us all!!

Just finished a fabulous camino women trip to Uzebekistan and Tajikistan and can't rate it highly enough! If you are on the fence - just do it (before rest of world discovers this gem and the crowds come). Amazing people, mountains, history, food - everything 😍. I hadn't done a tour before so felt some trepidation as I usually travel independently - but got the best roomie ever and the women were fantastic. My family and friends were initially perplexed on my country choices and asked about safety but once they saw my pix they were 100% won over 😁. Definitely heading back to the region as soon as I can with my partner in tow 😍

I have recently returned from the 18 day trip to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. I can't recommend this trip enough. A brilliant mix of beautiful landscapes, hiking, layers of history, mind blowing ancient architecture, fabulous hospitality and rich cultures. The guides were so accommodating and knowledgeable. The trekking was extremely well organised well with the support of donkey men and donkeys carrying our gear and pitching our tents. Camping out in the Fann Mountains is simply breathtaking waking up to beautiful views. The people of both countries pride themselves on being religiously tolerant, peaceful, very welcoming and respectful. Uzbekistan and Tajikistan are safe places to visit we had no issues or security concerns at any point on the trip in the cities and the mountains. Tashkent and Dushanbe are very modern, clean cities with beautiful monuments and architecture. Such a great adventure to a very surprising part of the world and so much fun. Beautiful arts and crafts to be purchased too! Take an extra big bag.

From the mountains of Slovenia to the coast of Croatia this trip with Camino women was fantastic and I’m so happy I did it. Stunning scenery, challenging but doable hikes, great accommodation, lovely guides, a fun bunch of ladies and lots of laughs. My first adventure as a solo traveller and I wouldn’t hesitate to do another trip with Camino Women.
