I just got home from walking the Portuguese Coastal Camino with Prayerful Path. Mary and Katie did a wonderful job guiding our group of 12 pilgrims along the way. We were encouraged to walk at our own pace so that we could take time for meditation, prayer and reflection. Mary was always available by phone if she was not walking right beside you. Having two guides meant that no one was left behind. Walking beside the ocean was my favorite experience - it was beautiful. There was minimal walking along busy roads with traffic. I liked having my luggage transported from hotel to hotel so that I didn't have to carry everything with me. We found Spain to be very affordable - I think we all enjoyed sampling some traditional Galician food and wine. Great experience!

Our trip with Prayerful Path was fantastic! Mary and Katie were experts, while walking the Camino. This was our first trip and the experience was more than expected. This got us hooked!! We will definitely be planning another Camino. I would recommend Prayerful Path to anyone wanting to walk the Camino, especially for the first time. The planning that went into it, including, lodging and meals, was finely tuned. Bom Caminho!!

It was a great pilgrimage for me. Have been wanting to walk the path of St Francis of Assisi for some time now and glad this has come to fruition. Realised that it's not exactly easy to navigate the walking route independently (since I am not a fit fiddle) so am glad I got to do this with Prayerful Path. Mary and Katie were great guides. They are adaptable, sensitive to pilgrims' needs and adapted the day's plans accordingly. I appreciated being able to stop at significant points and being able to spend some time to savour the place. it would have been good if we were guided through certain significant places like St Clare's convent and St Mary of the Angels' Basilica, for example since there is so much rich history there. They were not exactly self-explanatory altho some simple signs were available. If there is insufficient time for the group to be guided through, it would be helpful to have a list of other significant areas in the vicinity so pilgrims can plan to make visits and plan to spend more time in these places, in their personal time. For example, the Porziuncola was such a significant place to the Franciscans so it shouldn't be missed. Overall, I am grateful I did this with Prayerful Path.

Peace be with you! This is my first time on a pilgrimage and the experience has been a positive one. I am grateful and appreciative of the work put in by the organisers to coordinate all the arrangements from travel, to food and accommodation. Thank you for the good work as I know it's not an easy task. Perhaps it will be good to allow some quiet time in certain places like San Damiano or the Carceri given the significance of these places. Hopefully we can be more prayerful in this journey and I am glad that masses were available. I was privileged to be given rooms with a view and that made the experience truly memorable. Both Katie and Mary are a great company to be with. Thank you once again. Marian

Just finished an amazing journey, our Camino from Caminha, Portugal to Santiago de Compostela. Great people, spectacular scenery, and incredibly tasty food. And having our accommodations planned out was a blessing. All were in the city centers, making the experience even better. We can’t wait to start planning a future experience!
