On the lookout for an end of financial year bargain? Great news! UTracks, leading active European travel specialist, is offering select 2020 tours at 2019 prices if booked before 01 July 2019.

Reservations are now open for many of UTracks 2020 European departures. All its self-guided Spanish and Portuguese Camino journeys and Italy’s Francigena Way and St Francis Way trips are available at the 2019 rates if booked within this financial year.

UTracks General Manager, Kate Baker, says pilgrim walks are best planned well in advance.

“Pilgrim walkers plan their trips often years in advance. They’re necessarily organised so they have time to increase health and fitness before embarking on their life-affirming experience,” she said. “Our book now and travel next year, is a rare opportunity for these dedicated travellers to beat a likely price increase in 2020 and be top of the queue for our first choice of accommodation.”

UTracks most popular pilgrim trails are:
