What our customers ask about Private Portugal and Spain Tours
What are the key highlights of a Private tour in Portugal and Spain?
Private tours across Portugal and Spain give you access to select experiences that larger groups can't match. In Porto you can taste wine at historic Port cellars then head to Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The route includes stops in medieval towns like Tui and Baiona. The luxury Parador hotel in Baiona lets guests stay in a converted fortress while learning about Christopher Columbus' journey. A TourRadar traveler noted "The hotels picked for us were excellent putting us in the middle of the best areas with very helpful staff attending to all our needs."
When is the best time to take a Private tour in Portugal and Spain?
The sweet spot for visiting falls between April and June or September and October. During these months the weather stays mild and tourist crowds thin out. Barcelona and Madrid see perfect temperatures around 68-75°F (20-24°C) in spring making it ideal for walking tours through sites like Park Guell. Porto and Lisbon's weather remains pleasant through October. One TourRadar traveler shared: "the private September tour allowed us to enjoy the beaches of Comporta without summer crowds." The Monchique area offers thermal springs year-round while coastal views from Parador de Baiona stay impressive in any season.
What types of accommodations can I expect on Private tours in Portugal and Spain?
These private tours focus on luxury stays in historic central locations. Accommodations include the 5-star Porto Infante Sagres Hotel in Porto's old town and Spain's unique Paradores network of converted castles and monasteries. The Parador de Pontevedra and Parador de Baiona offer Atlantic Ocean views. A TourRadar traveler noted "the private tour's accommodations exceeded expectations especially the Parador in Santiago de Compostela with its incredible architecture and service." Tours also feature boutique options like Sobreiras Alentejo Country Hotel in wine country and The Noble House Hotel in medieval Évora.
How is the dining experience arranged on Private tours in Portugal and Spain?
The tours mix included meals with free time to explore local food scenes. Daily breakfast comes standard at hotels like Porto Trindade Hotel along with special events such as Fado dinner shows in Lisbon. Local specialties range from fresh oysters in Galicia's Arcade to traditional Migas com Carne in Évora. One TourRadar traveler shared: "our private guide recommended excellent local restaurants in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter that we wouldn't have found on our own." Free time lets you discover spots like Madrid's San Miguel Market at your own pace.
How much walking is involved in Private tours of Portugal and Spain?
These tours include moderate walking that can adapt to your preferences. City explorations of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and Lisbon's Alfama district cover several hours on cobblestone streets and hills. A TourRadar traveler mentioned "our private guide in Madrid adjusted the walking pace and included more breaks when needed." When visiting Toledo's medieval center or Sintra's palaces guides can arrange alternate transport. Hotels like The Noble House in Évora sit close to main attractions reducing walking time.
What's the best way to combine both countries in a Private tour?
Focus on connecting regions that work well together such as northern Portugal with Spain's Galicia or southern Spain's Andalusia with Portugal's Algarve. A common route starts in Porto continues through the Douro Valley then moves to Santiago de Compostela and Madrid. A TourRadar traveler reported: "Our 12-day Private tour perfectly balanced time between Portugal's coastal cities and Spain's interior with seamless border crossings and excellent local guides in each region."
