Pre- or post-trip extensions

On this trip, you have the following extensions to choose from:

Athens & the Peloponnese: From Homer to the First Olympics

5 nights Post-trip

Explore a land steeped in ancient myths and enveloped in scenic beauty, including the splendor of Nafplion, the Bronze Age culture of Mycenae, the sanctuary of Zeus in Olympia, home of the first Olympic Games, and the ancient Greek world with a stay in Athens. 

Madrid's Art & History

4 nights Pre-trip

Life pulses through the heart of Spain in Madrid where an appreciation for world-class art, innovative cuisine, and historic architecture is part of the cultural fabric. Discover why this vibrant city inspired the phrase, de Madrid al cielo: “Madrid is next to Heaven.”

Here's why 48% of travelers take these extensions:

  • You’ll maximize your discoveries—often in an even smaller group (average of 15 with a dedicated Trip Experience Leader) than your main adventure—and enhance your value by lowering your per-day costs because you’re taking advantage of your already included international airfare.
  • Our extensions include all accommodations, daily breakfasts, airport transfers, and other features.

Arrive Early

  • Arrive early in Barcelona before your main adventure — Travel from $210 per room per night
  • Arrive early in Madrid before your Madrid pre-trip extension — Travel from $340 per room per night

Air preferences

See some of the ways that 54% of O.A.T. travelers are personalizing their air itineraries on this adventure:

  • Choose your departure city, airline carrier, and preferred routing

  • Depart from one city and return to another

  • Upgrade your seat to Premium Economy or Business Class for a more relaxing experience to and from your adventure. Each airline has its own unique upgrade features, but here are the common perks associated with each class: Premium Economy normally features a larger seat, more leg room, and priority boarding, and Business Class features a smaller number of travelers in this section of the plane, a larger seat that can recline, more leg room, and priority boarding. Many travelers choose to upgrade their seat en route to the first destination on their adventure to arrive more rested and ready to explore—you can choose to upgrade for your roundtrip flight, or just one-way.

Freedom of choice during your adventure

We’ve carefully crafted this itinerary to provide a balance of included activities and free time, so you always have the flexibility to participate in included activities, go off on your own entirely, or do a mix of both. Whether it's on your optional extension or main itinerary, your Trip Experience Leader is available to help you pursue your own personal interests, and will help you with transportation, tickets, or anything else you need.
