Itinerary
Day 1: Lisbon
If visiting the historic district of Belém is on your bucket list, we recommend arriving early on this day to explore its major sites like the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower. Most attractions in Belém are closed on Mondays.
Day 2: Lisbon
Opt to take a day trip into the foothills of the surrounding mountains to Sintra. Get lost in the city's winding streets lined with pastel coloured houses, palaces, majestic gardens and lush forests. It doesn't get more postcard-worthy than this.
Day 3: Lisbon/Coimbra
Day 4: Coimbra
Day 5: Coimbra/Porto
Day 6: Porto
Head down Allies Avenue to see the French-inspired buildings. Bargain at the Bolhão Market. Wander the city's World Heritage-listed Ribeira district, visit São Francisco church, the palatial former 19th-century stock market Palácio de Bolsa or head to the Clerigos Tower for a panoramic view of the city.
In the evening, become an Port wine connoisseur with a visit to the cellars and a port wine tasting.
Day 7: Porto/Madrid
Day 8: Madrid
Day 9: Madrid/Granada
Day 10: Granada
After visiting the Alhambra, opt to take a wander through this historic city. In the evening, opt for a night on the town. Granada is filled with trendy tapas bars and has a lively music scene.
Day 11: Granada/Cordoba/Seville
Day 12: Seville
Take the time to see all this great city has to offer. Opt to explore the interiors and gardens of the Alcázar, a magnificent palace dating from Moorish times, or the true heart of Seville, the Santa Cruz quarter— a charming area with winding alleys, picturesque lime-washed houses, flowery patios, and small squares.
Seville is home to the world's largest gothic cathedral — climb the adjoining tower for great views of the city. Other attractions include the Museo Arqueológico, the Casa de Pilates and the Parque de María Luisa, which has a maze of paths, garden beds, pretty little patios, fountains, and shaded lawns.

I did love this tour, but would have preferred more inclusions. Whilst I have previously have done a G Adv Nat Geo tour, which was fantastic, I did feel that this tour left too much to our own arrangements
11/11/2023
My number one reason is G Adventures doing the planning and allowing me the luxury of just enjoying my travelling experience. After experiencing the classic and national geo tours, the national geographic is a better fit for me and I would recommend this style of touring versus the classic

There were some things about our tour that I was not completely happy with.

The CEO was fantastic
11/04/2023
I had no idea that this tour involves taking taxis, and public transport with your luggages.
11/04/2023
I would recommend G Adventures to friend or family member. I would share the lessons learned (packing tips, as well as clothes washing tips).

Our CEO, Marco, was great! He was very knowledgeable and responsive. Some of the hotels were great and others not so great. Hotel Ast—ria in Coimbra is badly in need of renovations. The one in Seville would have been good if the a/c worked. It did not.

Love for G Adventures to do all the planning. Enjoyed the trip layout and the free time it allowed. Appreciated the orientation walks.
12/02/2023
Although there were group activities and visitation of sites, there was also a lot of free time. This allowed me to explore more of the items of interest to me. If I had questions, our guides were very helpful.

I really liked the format you used wherein you G Adventures CEO conducts a preliminary meeting at each new location and then takes the group on an orientation tour which allows you get you bearings, have the main attractions pointed out to you, how to get there by foot, train, public transportation and so on. They give recommendations on restaurants , for particular food types, attractions, timing of travel etc. Both CEOs quickly set up a WhatsApp group for the tour and made very effective use of it with details of all the items mentioned verbally with links so everyone had the same & relevant information throughout the day and the whole trip. And you had access to the WhatsApp feed even if you didn't have cell coverage. They took the stress out of moving around by public transportation by taking care of everything from paying taxis, to timing & scheduling because they had obvious local knowledge & put it good use. All the hotels used for the tour were perfectly fine, they were clean of adequate size, and check-in & out was trouble free & quickly done. The nicest hotel was Hotel Europa in Madrid-several of the hotels had pretty threadbare towels in the bathroom.

Tours are well organized, accommodations are situated strategically, the guides are highly competent, versatile and accommodating. Local resources are used as much as possible. There is a lot of guidance and a lot of free time to choose one's own activities. Group activities offer a great cultural experience,
12/02/2023
I liked the freedom of the tour, but would have liked to have more activities potentially being booked on my behalf, rather than leaving me to do it. Sometimes tricky to navigate with spotty wifi and two factor authentication for banking.
12/02/2023
good blend of organized activities and time to explore own interests

Affordable, excellent leadership and organization

The organization was very good and we didn't have to worry about the logistics. *Most* of the hotels were good. I gave a rating of 7 because a couple of the hotels could have been better.
