Budget Tours & Trips to Portugal And Spain Reviews
- 9 Day-Barcelona, Madrid, Porto and Lisbon
Overall pretty good but I would have liked tours of the cities we stayed in as opposed to driving to other cities/locations for the included tours.
- Highlights of Spain, Morocco and Portugal (2026 Onwards, End End Lisbon)
"I have done 4 previous Trafalgar Tours and would have to say this one was a certain highlight. Our tour director Tiago was ""simply the best "" Nothing was too much trouble and his knowledge was fantastic! Our guide in Morrocco was so informative and provided us with an insight into their way of life he to went out f his way to assist and answer any questions we had. We were able to learn and see so much through these countries it truly was a fantastic experience . Hats off to Tiago and our wonderful bus drivers who ensured every detail was covered. I travelled with a cam boot on at not once was I felt to feel like it was an issue."

What our customers ask about Budget Tours & Trips to Portugal and Spain
What's the average daily budget I can expect for accommodations on budget tours in Portugal and Spain?
Budget tours in these countries typically cost between $131-165 USD per day. This covers basic needs like lodging transport and select meals. You'll find accommodations such as the Hotel Praga in Madrid or Hotel Roma Lisboa in Lisbon offering 3-4 star comfort. These hotels often sit outside city centers but connect well to public transport networks. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The hotels were of good quality and value even though some were located 20-30 minutes from city centers."
When is the most affordable time to visit Portugal and Spain?
November through March offers the best value while avoiding summer crowds and peak prices. Cities like Porto and Lisbon reduce their rates during these months. The cooler season brings shorter queues at major sites like Granada's Alhambra and Barcelona's Sagrada Familia with occasional low-season prices. A TourRadar reviewer notes: "We went in March and found great deals on hotels plus much shorter lines at major sites."
How much should I budget for optional activities?
Plan for $200-300 USD over a 10-14 day tour for extra experiences. Popular choices include watching flamenco in Seville ($45 USD) enjoying Fado with dinner in Lisbon ($65 USD) or tasting wine in Porto ($35 USD). A TourRadar reviewer shares: "Optional activities added about $250 to our total cost but were worth it for the cultural experiences."
What attractions and entrance fees are typically included in budget tours?
Standard inclusions cover main sites like Granada's Alhambra Palace Cordoba's Mosque Seville Cathedral and Porto's Douro River cruise with wine sampling. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "The included activities were well worth it - especially the Alhambra visit and Douro cruise." Extra costs apply for additions like flamenco shows (40-70 USD) or Sintra day trips (40 USD).
What are the most budget-friendly areas to explore in Portugal and Spain?
Porto Salamanca and Granada offer better value than larger cities like Madrid or Barcelona. Portugal's Alentejo region and Spain's Andalusia present cost-effective options with reasonable lodging and dining prices. Travelers note: "Porto and the surrounding areas were surprisingly affordable with excellent food and wine options at reasonable prices."
Are entrance fees included in budget tour prices?
Most tours cover entry to key sites including Granada's Alhambra (40 USD) Seville Cathedral (25 USD) and Porto wine cellars (20 USD). Evening entertainment and special shows usually require additional payment. One TourRadar review states: "Having major entrance fees included was great value though we paid extra for evening entertainment."
