9-Day Spain and Portugal Explorer Tour: Madrid, Andalusia, Lisbon and Historic Treasures | Ticket Admission Included

This tour was the perfect introduction to Iberia! From the easy online booking process to the incredibly supportive 24/7 customer service (a big thanks for helping us with a last-minute query!), everything was seamless. The itinerary is brilliantly paced: Madrid's grandeur, the awe-inspiring Alhambra, the stunning white towns of Andalusia (Ronda is unbelievable!), the rich history of Mérida and Évora, and the vibrant charm of Lisbon. Our tour director was exceptionally organized and knowledgeable. The included entries (Alhambra, Mérida ruins) were a major plus. Yes, there are some long coach days, but the scenery is beautiful and the stops (like Estremoz) are charming. An unforgettable holiday that felt like two trips in one!

Great tour

I always prefer the tours that spends more days in one country. It can cover most essential places that I don't need to come back in very near future. The tour is carefully designed, the instruction is clear, the tour guide is very experienced.

Is Barrio del Albaicin walkable for travelers with mobility issues?

The best time to visit is spring (April–May) or early autumn (September-October) when temperatures are mild and crowds smaller. Summers are hot and busy due to tourists visiting the Alhambra. Winters are quieter but some evenings may be chilly, especially at elevated miradores.

Are there combined tickets for Alhambra and local transport in Barrio del Albaicin?
