- Lisbon & Algarve in 9 days - Best of Sea and Countryside
We just returned from a wonderful trip. It took us to so many places in Portugal and gave us many interesting experiences that would have been difficult to arrange on our own. We saw cities and locations all over Portugal, from the very north of the country to the Algarve. A highlight was a day trip to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia. The drivers/guides were great. Stand-outs were Pedro, Jorge, and Fillipa. The driver/guides were punctual and always eager to give us memorable experiences. We had a number of rainy days which sometimes required a change in plans. But our driver/guides always made the most of it. I recommend this trip most highly!
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."
