What people love about touring Portugal And Spain solo
- From Lisbon 10-Day Andalucia & Morocco
Overall, I recommend this tour and it's a great value but it can be improved with the following comments: 1- The tour starts in Lisbon but there is no visiting taking place there and the travelers are taken to Seville, Spain directly. I think the intention is that the travelers visit Lisbon on their own so make sure to arrive in Lisbon a few days earlier in case if you're interested to explore the city yourself. 2- The tour communications and timing should be improved. For example, I had to wait for about an hour to be picked up at start point because the driver didn't know I had to be picked up! Also, on the way back to Spain from Morocco, the tour guide didn't stop for lunch and got to the next destination at about 4pm without having anything to eat! When I protested to her, she said that this is an instruction that was given to her. 3- The information provided by tour guide in Fes, Morocco was not entirely correct and I had to correct him when he mentioned that Algorithm was discovered in the Al-Qarawiyin school. Also, he stopped in the shops that I am not sure if it was in the best interest of travelers. 4- The driver on the way back to Spain from Morocco didn't know that much English so it was challenging to communicate with him at times. 5- The accomodation was better than expected and all hotels were good quality.

What our customers ask about Portugal and Spain Tours for Solo Travelers
How social are these group tours for solo travelers in Spain and Portugal?
Group tours in Spain and Portugal create natural social connections between travelers sharing experiences in these vibrant countries. The daily schedule includes shared meals, walking tours and cultural activities that bring people together. In Lisbon for instance the Lutecia Hotel serves as a social hub where travelers meet for breakfast and evening gatherings. Group activities like Porto wine tastings and Seville flamenco shows give everyone common ground for conversation. A TourRadar traveler puts it well: "The group dynamics were fantastic - as a solo traveler I never felt alone and made great friends while exploring both countries."
How physical are Spain and Portugal tours?
These tours require a moderate level of fitness with daily walks of 2-3 miles on cobblestone streets and uneven terrain. Cities like Porto and Granada have steep hills that need steady walking. Rest stops are frequent and the pace stays manageable for most people. One TourRadar traveler notes: "Be prepared for walking tours of 14,000-17,000 steps some days especially in historic centers like Toledo and Cordoba though the pace is manageable and there are plenty of rest stops."
What type of accommodation can solo travelers expect on Portugal and Spain tours?
The tours use quality 3-4 star hotels in central locations that give easy access to main attractions. Properties like the Melia Castilla in Madrid AC Hotel Porto and Hotel Roma in Lisbon provide comfortable rooms with private bathrooms. Common areas give space for socializing with other travelers. According to one TourRadar review: "The hotels were well-chosen for solo travelers with comfortable lounges and restaurants perfect for socializing with the group." Some hotels like Seville's Catalonia Santa Justa focus on hosting tour groups.
Which cities in Portugal and Spain are most solo traveler-friendly?
Barcelona Lisbon and Porto stand out as especially welcoming cities for solo travelers. The Bairro Alto neighborhood in Lisbon near VIP Executive Arts Hotel offers safe streets lined with cafes and traditional Fado music venues. In Porto the riverside area by Holiday Inn Porto Gaia provides scenic evening walks and wine tasting opportunities. One traveler reports: "Lisbon was incredibly easy to navigate alone during free time with friendly locals and plenty of safe lively areas to explore."
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Portugal and Spain?
Spring from March to May and fall from September to October offer the best mix of pleasant weather and manageable crowd levels. Summer brings intense heat with temperatures in Seville often above 95°F plus peak tourist crowds. Winter stays mild along the coast in Barcelona and Lisbon but gets cold inland. Booking data shows most solo travelers choose shoulder seasons with September and May accounting for 25-30% of bookings.
How much free time versus group activities can I expect as a solo traveler?
The tours mix guided activities with independent exploration time. A typical day includes morning group tours to major sites like Barcelona's Sagrada Familia or Porto's historic district followed by 3-4 hours of free time. Hotels like Hotel Roma in Lisbon sit in central locations making solo exploring simple. As one traveler shares: "The balance was perfect - enough group time to make friends but also freedom to explore on my own."
