The Camino Way

I'd like to do the last 100k or so of the Camino way.
There are so many companies though so looking for experiences or recommendations please.

I know I'm going to pay a premium for this but I would like:
Transfer to start of path or first hotel from the airport
Luggage transfer between hotels/accommodation
Breakfast, dinner and a packed lunch (I'm thinking that there may well not be a shop convenient to buy lunch on a daily basis)
I don't particularly want a guide - just a decent detailed map/ instructions
I'm not bothered about fancy hotels but I do want somewhere I can get food reliably

Anything else I have not though of, I'm happy to be told of

'The Camino way' means 'The Way way' Grin I'd love to do it one day. Dd is about to go and do her uni year abroad in SdC - in fact she's on her way there right now! Such a lovely place.

Wow thank you all
Many things to think about and thank you for recommendations
Looking at next late September or early October
We have been discussing doing practice days and show choices

I think this is the most replies I have had on MN!

I did the last 120 kms of the Portuguese Way (coastal) a couple of years ago. I had a back pack of 4.5 kilos, a credit card and my phone. I booked accommodation for the first night (south of Vigo) and then booked as I walked.
it was amazing. One of the best experiences of my life and arriving in Santiago was very moving - I hadn’t realised when I set off what an impact it would have on me. I intend to do the Northern route next year in the same fashion but will learn a bit more Spanish first.
