Guided pilgrim treks

Concierge custom self-guided treks
Our travel concierge service helps you avoid the hassle and anxiety of arranging your accommodations and ground travel so you can relax and enjoy your journey. We begin by asking you your specific interests—like how far you prefer to walk in a day, whether you want to carry your own bags, what kind of lodging you prefer—and we present you with a customized, draft itinerary. You review it, comment, and we continue to refine it until it's just right.

Why Pilgrim Paths?
When our founder, prolific guidebook author Sandy Brown, first walked the Camino de Santiago in 2008, he immediately realized there was something life-changing about this way of travel. In 2016, he formed Pilgrim Paths to share this discovery with others.

News and Updates
About Pilgrim Paths
As a college student, Sandy Brown developed a deep interest in European languages and history. He brought the stories and lessons he learned to his years as a United Methodist pastor in Washington State, but there was always a gnawing interest – to explore the world. He began small, leading church groups to the Holy Land, then Egypt, then Turkey and then Italy.
After walking the Camino de Santiago in 2008, Sandy was hooked on long-distance walking as a way to satisfy his appetite for adventure. Not content to enjoy trekking on his own, he shared his love of pilgrim walks by writing guidebooks, beginning with a now-classic volume on the Via di Francesco. After leading a group walking tour for another company, in 2016 he established Pilgrim Paths so he could share what he had learned. In 2022 he welcomed his sister, Rocky Nieblas-Brown, as a partner. Now Pilgrim Paths has helped hundreds of people make unforgettable adventures happen on the great pilgrim paths of Europe.
