Your trip to Portugal

For this tour, since we are less than a month from the trip starting, we have released the space we were holding at the local accommodation. This means that the space would need to be requested back at the time of booking. To request the space, we would require full payment. Once the space is requested, we usually hear back within 3-5 business days. Of course, if the booking cannot be confirmed, we would provide a full refund of the funds paid to Explore.

What's the group size currently booked? How many men vs women currently booked? How many are solo men? What's the age spread?

For the April 25th 2026 departure, we currently have 2 people booked. There are a couple in their 70s.

Can I request a single occupancy room ? How much more will be the tour price ?

We do have availbility for a single room on this departure, is is an additional £505.00 total supple for the single room.

We are interested in the tour but we can not find any available dates in November 2025.

We do not have any departures for this tour in November. Our last departure for the year is October 18th and it is sold out. We do have a Walking Tour in the Algarve's running in November if that is of any interest.

Do you have a trip leaving the 23rd of august 2025

We do not have a trip starting August 23rd. Are your dates flexible at all? If so, we do have an August 30th 2025 departure that we can request space on.

Can we change flights to business class & if so, price

This tour is land only we do not book flights, you need to make your own flight arrangements.

i do not want to share my room with another guest. i am travelling by myself.

Once we have payment on file it takes 2-5 business days to find out if we can confirm the space. We do advise you do not buy flights until we have confirmed the tour.

Can you please tell me about the walking requirements of this tour? I use a cane for assistance.

This tour is rated as a Full on Pace. You can expect the tour to be packed with activities and experiences, moving on quickly from place to place with lots of early starts and long, busy days. Once we're in the cities our explorations are mostly done on foot, the terrain can be hilly and uneven so please bring sensible footwear and be prepared for the busy nature of this enthralling holiday. On these days you can expect 20,000-30,000 steps per day. A good level of fitness is recommended due to the amount of walking, hills and early starts. We generally do not recommend our tours for those with mobility issues. We do also use a variety of public transport and taxis on this tour and you would need to be responsible for carrying your own luggage.

What happens if I need to cancel my trip?

If you need to cancel, different cancellation charges apply based on the time frame relative to your trip’s starting date.

What is your policy on changing travel dates?

Changes can be accommodated up to 10 days before departure, depending on current bookings and availability.

Coimbra was a beautiful city as was Porto - my favourite on the trip. The train journey along the side of the Douro river to Porto was spectacular.

Really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide Mercedes was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful with restaurant and activity recommendations. Overall the itinerary was good. One suggestion I would make is to spread out some scheduled activities over a couple of days. There were some days where too much was planned in one day so it was difficult to cover everything well. Then a whole day was left as free time which was too much. Our guide was able to move things around so that we had less free time on one day but able to do everything well. That flexibility was very good.Show more
