    It's taken more than four years to find somewhere we could put a review of Insight Vacations' tour of Country Roads...

    Reply from: Insight Vacations
    Thank you for taking the time to share your review here with us. We regret to read that your trip to Portugal may not have lived up to your expectations at the time, four years ago. We do send out requests for our valued guests to share their feedback via the Feefo review platform, and we do ask that this is done within six months after returning home from a trip with us. This is because we take our guests' concerns seriously here at Insight Vacations, and we always endeavour to investigate and establish where improvements might be made. That said, though your trip was quite some time ago, we will nevertheless share your comments with our Operations department for their attention and consideration. We hope you have made some better travel memories in the time since, and we wish you all the best on your next adventure.

    I'm a solo traveller, is there a single supplement?

      There is no mandatory single supplement on this tour, as travellers can be roomed with a fellow traveller of the same sex for no additional cost. This is a great way to meet like-minded travellers while on tour! If you would prefer a little more privacy you can opt for the single supplement option, the cost of which can be viewed on the booking page.
