What are the anticipated extra costs for entries to points of interest and any optional tours please?

Most sightseeing and attractions listed as included experiences are covered in the tour price. There are also optional excursions available at an additional cost, with the current prices as follows: Granada Local Food & Wine Pairing – €60 | Pre-book at least 15 days before departure Alhambra Palace & Gardens – €85 | Pre-book at least 60 days before departure Seville Alcázar & Cathedral Tour – €75 | Pre-book at least 35 days before departure Seville Flamenco Show & Dinner – €85 Fátima Sanctuary & Coin Caves – €55 Colours of Sintra: The Essence of Pena Palace – €58 Pastel de Nata Cooking Class – €55 | Pre-book at least 15 days before departure Fado & Feast by the Douro – €70 Most optional excursions can be booked and paid for directly with your tour leader during the tour, by card or cash in the stated currency. Some excursions require advance booking and are non-refundable once confirmed. Please note that prices and availability are subject to change, so these should be used as a guide for budgeting.

How much for a single traveler -- I don't mind sharing the room if a partner can be found?

The price shown on our website is based on twin-share accommodation. As a solo traveller, you'll be paired with another traveller of the same gender, so there's no additional cost if you're happy to share. If you'd prefer your own room, you can add a private room upgrade for an additional cost. Please note that pricing and availability are subject to change and vary by departure.

They would like to know if assistance with luggage will be provided at each hotel upon arrival, or if they will need to manage it themselves.

They are seeking clarification on the meeting point for their tour—is it the E-kilibrio Hotel & Apart-Suites, or a different location?

I noticed the price was around $2250 if we travelled now to Dec25, this is our budget. We want to book the trip on 15th March 2026

Tour prices vary depending on the travel date, and are set based on factors including availability, seasonal demand, and supplier rates. Unfortunately, we're unable to guarantee or match pricing from other departure dates. March is typically one of the more budget-friendly months.

Is the Nov 9 tour still available?

Currently, the lowest price that this tour is offered at, is 1,475 USD. The November 9, 2025 Departure is offered at 1,645 USD per person.

which hotels in madrid will the tour depart and end in?

Currently, both the meeting and ending locations are set at the E-kilibrio Hotel & Apart-Suites in Madrid, but do keep in mind that these locations are subject to change. We will make sure to provide any updates if there are changes to these details as the departure date approaches.

At the moment, we don't have this specific tour scheduled for October 2025 — it's only available in November.

Do you have a brochure on this tour? Please explain more about the activity level of somewhat demanding. I'm looking at November dates.

As for the activity level marked 'somewhat demanding', this means the tour includes a fair amount of walking (fast-pace, up to 3 hours), often over uneven surfaces like cobblestones or hills, especially in historical city centers or during optional excursions. While it's not strenuous, it's ideal for travelers who are reasonably fit and comfortable being on their feet for longer periods throughout the day. There may also be occasional early starts and full sightseeing days.

What is the single supplement?

Single supplements ensure that you have your own bedroom and private bathroom for the entire tour. Please note that single supplements are limited in availability and can only be requested once the booking has been confirmed.

Can you arrange airport pick up please plus extra night accommodation before tour starts.

As a older person I will need to work out if I could do transfer myself again thank you

I was with Luke in the Morocco Discovery tour, he made some pre-tour videos before our tour commenced, i was hip up and excited about the tour. First time to Morocco, and with Luke, he tried his best to get everyone on tour blended together and on bus rides. Would like to travel in tour again with him as the guide.Show more

  As a older person I will need to work out if I could do transfer myself again thank you
- Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written August 2024
  We believe the best way to get to the heart and soul of a city is on foot, surrounded by the people and the culture. For this reason, we do walking tours through most of the cities we visit. Many of the cities you visit are vast and old, often with steps and cobblestones. Our walking tours can last up to 3 hours with plenty of opportunities to take photographs and soak up the history of these fascinating places, but you do require a certain level of fitness to enjoy your tour to its fullest.
