Howdy y'all -- interested in escaping to Spain this November, and trying to decide b/t contiki's "spain and Portugal" vs "Mediterrean Highlights". . The latter trip fits my schedule more, but it seems too whirlwind, a lot of great cities, but don't want to spend the bulk of time on a bus. Has anyone done either trip and tell me what you think?

along the same note: been reading with interest varying opinions about the best tour group for singles in their early thirties. did Contiki before and had a good time, largely due to an excellent tour guide. any other thoughts about Contiki or other Europe escorted tours for singles.. .. .. .. . top deck looks great but their itineraries are limited, as is Trafalgar Breakaway tours.

thanks all, and cheers.
