Itinerary

From walking the cobblestone streets of a former Roman colony to tasting a decadent 'Pastel de Nata' tart made from a 200-year-old secret recipe, this 9-day guided tour allows you to embrace the best of old-world Spain and Portugal. Listen as metal sizzles in a master artisan’s hands as he teaches you the craft of Damascene. In Granada, wander the fragrant and arabesque gardens of the Alhambra Palace. Learn the art of flamenco dancing, stomping your feet to the sounds of an acoustic guitar, in a private lesson with professionals in Seville. Then, cross the Portuguese border to scale a 16th-century fortress in Lisbon and visit Fátima, Portugal's most holy site. Finally, raise a glass and say ¡salud! to these ancient wonders during a celebration feast in Madrid.

Nice overview of both countries and beautiful sites in several cities in Spain & Portugal. Vibrant city life & laid back country settings with olive trees, cattle & crops in the countryside. Busy itinerary with a fair amount of walking to see all.

Shila D.On Oct 6, 2025

There's always a struggle between seeing as much as possible and being able to immerse yourself in a city. It would have been nice to spend more than a day in Madrid on the front end vs immediately leaving the city after the first night. I would have enjoyed more time in Lisbon as well. I originally didn't include any of the optional excursions on purpose to allow myself to explore on my own. That being said, I appreciated our guide recommending the Lisbon coastal excursion that I absolutely loved and would have liked to spend more time by the coast and that lovely area of town. The carriage museum was ok but would have preferred more time by the coast. I've done group tours before but this was my first experience with Insight. I loved the extra leg room on the coach and having access to wifi and ports to charge our devices. Having the group size at 40 was also great. I'm sure I'll use Insight again.
