Portugal small group trips

Madeira is walkable all year. May to October is usually driest, with the longest days. Winter brings more rain and cloud to the mountains and shorter days, and the summit can be very cold before sunrise.

Answer for Madeira: Levadas, Peaks and the Coast

Moderate. Expect five walking days of 3 to 5 hours, mostly on level levada paths, with some steep stone steps at 25 Fontes and Pico Ruivo. Each walking day has an easy option, and day 6 is gentle.

A room of your own is from CAD 1,250 more for the whole trip, and it is a real room with its own bathroom, not a converted twin. Solo travellers are welcome; if you would rather share, ask us about pairing you with another solo guest of the same gender.

Moderately fit. Expect 6 to 10 km a day on hills, stairs and cobbles that are slippery when wet. Our vehicle drops us at the top of the steepest hills so most walks run downhill, and on the demanding days you can ride instead of walking or wait in a café.

Answer for Portugal: Lisbon, Porto and the Douro Valley

A room of your own is from CAD 885 more on the small-group trip, and that figure is shown before you request to book, with no surprise at checkout. Solo travellers join every meal and activity on the same terms as everyone else.
