Portugal Solo Tours for Single Travelers

Perfect tour of Madeira with quite different areas and walks every day. Cliffs, forests, mountains - and plenty of free time in Funchal. Well looked after and our guide had good knowledge on all aspects. All the little stops such as cafes were charming.

A great cultural and historical tour! The Medina in Fes, Morocco, is a step back a thousand years! The history in Toledo, Spain, is overwhelming! Monsaraz, Portugal, is a fabulous gem! The horse farm visit and home style lunch in Southern Portugal was a delight!

Fantastic holiday loved it - very challenging in the heat but beautiful itinerary, great group and wonderful leader-highly recommend. This is my 16th holiday I’ve done with explore over the last 30 years and really do think cycling is the best way to explore a country.

Such a great tour, mostly lovely bike paths some streets with more traffic but still great for cycling with great views. Great fellow travellers. Superbe and very friendly guide Lucas, who managed to keep the group together easily and without pushing or stopping anyone and driver Paulo who did a lot of work behind the scenes (was also our picnic chef). Clean accommodation, perfectly located. Bikes in good shape. However the trip ist expensive considering it's not even a week long and only breakfast is included. I would change the itinerary and add a day at a beach town in the middle, after 2 or 3 days cycling it makes sense to have a break from it and enjoy the beautiful beaches and relax a bit.

Good variety of restaurants & stops. Comfortable bus with legroom & plenty of comfort stops. Experienced bus driver keeping a clean bus & a smooth ride. Experienced & friendly tour guide sharing valuable information on locations and tour logistics. Upgraded hotels in city centers. Interesting itineraries & excursions with knowledgeable guides. Small group trips available.

Some of the walking - classified as 'moderate' - was harder than I had anticipated. The Porto Moniz hotel was a bit sad; the Funchal hotel was very good but its location, on the outskirts of Funchal - wasn't ideal. Not many buses into town, and the complimentary shuttle bus didn't operate at weekends. Our tour leader was laid-back without being lax. We all liked him, he is a real star.
