What people love about Portugal and Spain Tours for Young Adults
- Spain & Portugal: Tapas & Traditions
Amazing experience!!! Definitely do this tour, goes to the highlights of Portugal and Spain
- Spain & Portugal: Flamenco & Tapas
I honestly loved this tour and will definitely be doing another tour with this company again. While I would have liked more time in each location to see more but the introduction tours were great to get an idea of what to do if I had nothing planned. Food and activity recommendations were also great. While it was nice to do things with the group, I really liked having the ability to do things on my own without it feeling like I'm being rude to others in the group. Communication regarding group plans could be better though but that could be said of both the travelers and the CEO.

I booked the glamping package with Stoke Travel, as I'm not huge fan of camping but i'd heard that Stoke offer the best parties on camp and have really fun staff. And it did not disappoint. After check in were taken to our huge tent by a really energetic 'welcome crew' person, such a good idea. Basically this person gives you tour of the camp tells what's what, who's who of the camp. For someone who isn't into camping I had a great time, I was a little concerned about having to eat camp food coz you know it can be gross. But it wasn't bad, it was properly cooked food and really filling. The staff were really knowledgable too about the area and what was going on throughout festival. Overall had really good time and would recommend to friends. Yea Stoke Travel.

For those seeking bigger parties Ibiza's superclubs like Pacha and Amnesia regularly host world-famous DJs. In Seville traditional flamenco shows offer a cultural night out while the Algarve's beach bars come alive during summer evenings. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The nightlife was amazing - from tapas bar crawling in Granada to clubbing in Ibiza there were endless options to socialize and have fun with the group."
