Budget Tours & Trips to Mediterranean Reviews
- Treasures of Italy (22 destinations)
Great itinerary to cover Italy from the cities to the medieval towns to the beautiful coastal and lake regions. Europamundo are well organised and guides were great.
Excellent 18 day tour of Lisbon,Porto,Seville,Cordoba, Granada,Toledo,Salamanca,Costa delSol, Marrakesh,Casablanca,Meknes, Fez and more. Fascinating places made more fascinating by the excellent multilingual guides in all the cities we visited. Their knowledge and communication skills were great as was the overall organisation of the whole tour. Must give a shout out to Carmen and Lorenzo our guide and bus driver in Spain and Portugal. Our bus was always clean and cool until the ac failed so didn't get the chance to say thanks and farewell to Lorenzo as he had to take the bus back to Madrid to get the ac repaired.. The hotels were all 4* and were clean and comfortable. A great way to see multiple destinations but not a lot of time could be spent in each place.as a full itinerary. Tour Radar and Julia Tours Excellent!
18-Day Tour to Portugal, Andalusia and Morocco from Madrid
- Barcelona to Rome Quest (Standard, Summer ( Until Mar '27), Classic)
What a journey! Greg you did an amazing job. Couldn't have asked for a more caring, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and entertaining guide. The accommodation was good, some of the feasts that were add ons were a tad lacking.
What our customers ask about Budget Tours & Trips to Mediterranean
What are some budget-friendly areas to stay in Mediterranean cities?
Smart travelers looking to save money should look into neighborhoods slightly outside city centers. El Poblenou in Barcelona offers rooms at Hotel Ibis Styles while Rome's charming Trastevere district features affordable spots like Hotel Roma. In Lisbon the area near Hotel Vila Gale Opera provides good value. These areas connect well to main attractions through public transport which helps cut down on taxi costs. A TourRadar review notes: "The hotels were well-located near public transport making it easy to explore while saving money on taxis."
What entrance fees should I budget for attractions in Mediterranean cities?
Key attractions in Mediterranean cities typically cost between USD 20-30. The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona costs USD 26 while Rome's Colosseum runs USD 24 and the Vatican Museums charge USD 20. Some tour companies like Cosmos build entrance fees into their packages covering sites like Fatima Sanctuary and Cordoba Mosque. A TourRadar traveler points out: "Having entrance fees included helped control costs though optional activities added up."
What is the average daily cost for budget Mediterranean tours?
Expect to spend between USD 130-190 per day on budget tours depending on where you go and when you travel. Greece Classic Tours cost about USD 184 daily with stays at 4-star properties like Golden Age Hotel in Athens. Turkey tours run closer to USD 190 per day including accommodations at places like Hampton by Hilton. A TourRadar traveler says: "The hotels were very nice and food was good making it great value for the destinations covered." These rates usually cover lodging some meals transport and guided tours.
When is the most affordable time to visit the Mediterranean region?
Travel during shoulder season (March-May and September-November) to find better deals while enjoying pleasant weather. Cities like Barcelona and Rome see fewer tourists and lower prices from October through November. Greek islands including Santorini offer better rates during April and May. The peak summer months of July and August bring the highest prices according to TourRadar travelers.
What meals are typically included on budget Mediterranean tours?
Budget tours generally provide daily breakfast and select group dinners while other meals are up to you. The Italy on a Budget 13-day tour includes welcome dinners in Rome and Florence plus wine tastings in Tuscany. Travelers can explore local restaurants for remaining meals. TourRadar travelers suggest setting aside USD 25-40 daily for additional food costs.
What are the most affordable areas to visit in the Mediterranean?
Croatia's coast including Split and Dubrovnik offers good value along with southern Spanish cities like Granada and Malaga. Portugal's Porto and Lisbon provide affordable options for travelers. A TourRadar traveler notes: "Portugal and northern Spain were surprisingly affordable compared to Italy and France. Local food and wine were excellent value." These destinations deliver rich cultural experiences without the high costs found in places like the French Riviera.
