Spain Travel Review: 8 Nights

We hired Zicasso to plan our Northern Spain trip as new customers. Zicasso was recommended by a friend. Zicasso gives you two agencies to choose from and the agency we picked was great, with timely responses and no reservation problems during our vacation. We loved the agent's suggested hotels and tour guides. We surely needed the help since we do not speak Spanish and in Northern Spain there is less English spoken than in the bigger cities to the south. We would use Zicasso for a future vacation.
