What our pilgrims are saying:
"I knew that if I did the pilgrimage, and was walking 12 miles a day, I did not want to be walking around afterwards, at night, in a strange place, looking for a decent place to stay. I had stayed in hostels before, and I did not want another "bunk bed, bed bug" experience. At the end of the walk, I wanted a clean, comfortable room, and a nice dinner. Medseas and Bill Williams provided that, and much more. The hotels, especially the Paradors, bordered on the luxurious, the breakfasts and dinners were excellent. The taxis that took us to our destinations and transported our luggage ran like clockwork. All logistics and contingencies were meticulously planned and accounted for. The only thing I had to concern myself with was the walking. And all of this was provided at a cost that to me represented a tremendous value - a bargain, if you will. I highly recommend Medseas and Bill Williams to anyone interested in doing the Camino."
