What people love about touring Portugal solo
- Best of Lisbon and The Azores: City and Nature Wonders
My wife and I have just returned early from a trip that incorporated a tour through Lisbon and the Azores organised by Portugal Travel Center. Although the outbreak of the Covid19 pandemic prevented us from completing the tour, we were highly impressed by the thoughtful and meticulous pre-planning provided by the company, the quality of all bookings and recommendations as well as the attention to our welfare during the growing emergency. The cancellations and refunding of some unused portions of the tour were efficiently and quickly completed with a minimum of fuss. I cannot recommend this company too highly.
- Highlights of Portugal - Lisbon, Alentejo, Sintra, Porto and Douro Valley
This was our first time using tourradar and Portugal Travel Center was recommended by an agent over the phone when we called to clear some doubts. Every detail was perfect and we didn't have any issues the entire time. Our consultant Pedro created an unforgettable trip for our family of 4 adults. The hotels were top notch and we were treated like VIPs. The walking tour guides were fantastic, we felt like a family member was showing us around Portugal. Transactions were all punctual and the vehicles were clean. Pedro created a personalized trip, based on exactly what we wanted: sightseeing days and leisure days, all within budget. He was so patient with our many emails of ideas and changes. We can't wait to book with him again for another trip when we return to Portugal!
- Lisbon & Algarve in 9 days - Best of Sea and Countryside
We had an eleven day private tour with another couple. Vanya and Daniela were extremely professional and were willing to adjust this tour to our needs. The hotels were mostly very good. Our guide, George, and other chauffeurs were all amazing. We cannot say how much we appreciated this tour. Thank you!
What our customers ask about Portugal Tours for Solo Travelers
What is the typical single supplement cost for Portugal tours?
Solo travelers make up about a quarter to a third of Portugal tour participants according to recent data. On cultural excursions through Porto and Lisbon you'll typically find 3-4 solo travelers in groups of 12-15 people. The experience often creates lasting connections as one traveler noted: "Our group became close very quickly - there were several solo travelers and we all bonded over amazing experiences like wine tasting in the Douro Valley."
Which areas of Portugal are most solo traveler-friendly?
The sweet spots for solo travel fall in spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October). These months offer pleasant weather and smaller crowds at key sites like Sintra's Pena Palace and Porto's waterfront districts. Booking data points to September as the peak month for solo travelers likely due to the ideal weather and social atmosphere. Properties like the Pestana Bahia Praia Resort in the Azores see many solo guests during these quieter seasons.
Are there any single supplement charges on Portugal tours?
Portugal stands out as one of Europe's safer destinations particularly for those on guided tours. Well-located hotels like Vila Gale Porto and Tivoli Avenida Liberdade provide secure bases in busy central areas. Tour guides help navigate evening activities such as traditional Fado performances. One traveler's experience reflects the common sentiment: "I felt completely safe throughout the entire tour even during evening walks in Lisbon and Porto."
Which regions of Portugal are best suited for solo travelers?
The spring months of March through May and fall period of September through October work best for solo exploration. These seasons bring mild weather and manageable crowds at popular spots like Sintra and the Douro Valley. Booking records show September attracts the most solo visitors (28%) with May following at 22%. Hotels like Dom Pedro Lisboa and Porto Bay offer welcoming common spaces during these busy social seasons.
How do meals work for solo travelers on Portugal tours?
Tours typically mix scheduled activities with personal time giving you 2-3 free evenings each week. A typical day might start with a guided visit to Porto's São Bento Station followed by free time to wander the Ribeira district. As one reviewer put it: "The mix of guided tours and free time was perfect - enough structure to feel secure but plenty of freedom to explore and meet other travelers."
