Rick Steves tours
Went on two Rick Steves tours, the TV travel show host's company, a year ago. He has a website. Spent two weeks in Portugal on the first tour followed by the Basque country tour of southwest France and northwest Spain. His tours are small, no more than 25 people, so you stay in quaint, boutique hotels and eat at interesting small restaurants. You often stay two nights in one location and have half days off on your own regularly. They are physically active so you have to be able to walk. Went as a single and paid the very reasonable single subsidy to have my own room. Though I loved it all I thought Portugal was fabulous. It's still old-world Europe and is overlooked as a great destination.
