• What are some good budget-friendly areas to explore in Spain, Portugal and Morocco?

  Look beyond the major tourist spots to find better value. Granada and Salamanca in Spain cost less than coastal cities. Portugal's Coimbra and Évora offer similar charm to Lisbon at lower prices. In Morocco Fez and the towns along the "Route of the Kasbahs" tend to be cheaper than Marrakesh. A TourRadar reviewer noted: "The inland cities like Granada and Fez were highlights - less touristy better prices and you really get to experience the local culture without breaking the bank."

• When is the most affordable time to visit Spain, Portugal and Morocco?

  Plan your trip between November and March for the best rates especially in Spain and Portugal where hotel prices can drop by 40% in January and February. Morocco bucks this trend with winter being peak season. A traveler's tip from TourRadar: "We went in February and got excellent rates though Morocco was quite busy. The weather was perfect for sightseeing in all three countries without the summer crowds." Remember that some attractions may operate on reduced schedules during off-season.

• How much walking should I expect on budget tours through these countries?

  Prepare for extensive walking particularly in historic areas and medinas. According to a TourRadar review: "Sometimes you'll be walking for the better part of a day. For example 17000 steps one day another day 14000 steps. And lots and lots of stairs. Most of the group was 65 years or older and many had a hard time on this tour that was rated 'easy'."

• Are entrance fees to major attractions included in budget tour prices?

  Your tour price typically covers entry to key sites like the Alhambra Palace Cordoba Mosque and Porto wine cellars. Extra activities such as Fado shows in Lisbon or Flamenco performances usually cost more. As shared by a TourRadar traveler: "The entrance fees to significant landmarks were included as part of the tour package which helped manage costs."
