Wonderful experience - Debora was a wonderful guide. She had great communication with us before our walk offering to adjust at anytime if required as I had knee problems a few weeks before we were due in Oviedo. The walk was quite challenging in parts but we were so glad we did it as the scenery was amazing. Can’t recommend this walk or Debora enough.

Great way to experience ce the Camino de Santiago. - Rebecca was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. She accommodated our time frame and needs to make the walking experience memorable. I highly recommend this experience if you do not have much time to immerse in the Camino experience.

Thinking About Hiking a Camino? Try This Tour - This is a great tour! Highly recommend it for anyone who would like a 1/2 day walk to learn more about the Camino. Debora is an excellent tour guide. She provided historical and cultural information about Oviedo, Asturia, Spain, and the Camino. Participants receive the Camino "passport" and will receive several stamps from stations along the route. Debora ensured that we walked at our pace, taking breaks as needed and stopping at bars/restaurants along the way for a drink or snack or to use the bathroom. My wife, who was a little concerned about being able to walk 12 km, completed the trek. Debora also provided great information for those who are contemplating hiking a full Camino.

Outstanding Guide - The highlight of my trip - beyond seeing my daughter who just moved to Oviedo - was this guided Camino hike with Debora. She is just an outstanding guide: highly informative about the Camino, Asturias, local foods and even Spanish history. Debora was helpful, too, in suggesting other must see Oviedo/Asturias venues. They don't get any better than Debora. We'll be looking her up on our next trip here in February.

Lovely day on the Camino - What a great tour! Debora met my niece and I at the designated starting point and we set out on the streets of Oviedo toward the countryside following the Camino Primitivo. Debora shared interesting bits about Oviedo, it’s history and about Asturias. She was easy to talk with, very knowledgeable about the Camino and the ways of the pilgrims making the journey. The route was a perfect little taste of the larger Camino, and it was so nice to get out into the hills outside of Oviedo and experience the nature of Asturias. She even had Trail Passports for us which we stamped at one of the spots along our walk. We ended the walk at a lovely little cafe, had a much appreciated cold drink, followed by a cab ride right back to our hotel. If you want to see a bit of the lovely country outside Oviedo, I highly recommend taking a walk with Debora.

First steps on the trail - In September 2021 I visited Asturias and joined Debora from intoAsturias on a half-day hike walking the first steps of the Camino Primitvo. Not having any experience with hiking at all, she made me feel comfortable and capable. We started at the Cathedral in Oviedo where the rich history of the Camino is visible on every street corner, through scallops or stories, past a very nice bakery for some delicious snacks and into the mountains. During our walk she shared the great history of Asturias with me; from culture to architecture, agriculture to cuisine, Debora is a very knowledgable guide and her stories make the hike even more enjoyable. intoAsturias offers unique experiences with a personal touch and I am very happy I got the opportunity to book this excursion. It even inspired me to one day return and continue the Camino.

Wonderful Experience! - Debora was a fantastic guide for the El Camino Santiago!! She communicated with us before hand and kept us up to date. Explaining how to get to the cathedral could improve, but so minor in the whole experience. She was very knowledgeable about the Camino and sights along the way. I am 68 and in fair shape. The hike was a challenge, but she was very considerate and encouraging. I finished and it was an amazing experience. Plus, we had a beautiful day. Debora also had s walking stick for me that was a great help!

Great Expeirnce! - Debora made the Taste of the Camino Santiago our best event in Spain. She met us promptly, went over the agenda and we were on our way. She found something in common or to personally connect upon with each of our group members. This experience commences at the beautiful Cathedral and you pass the metal gold colored scallops while in the city as you progress on the Primitivo section of the trail. Once in the countryside, you pass by the traditional scallop markers and religious chapels. Debora is very enthusiastic, intuitive and paced the group according to its needs and desires. She made sure we had water and she even brought a few surprise treats. At the end of route for the day on the trail, we insisted Debora stay with us for a light refreshment. Totally worth the time to do this trip with Debora!
