Reviews of Zicasso's Portugal Tours & Vacations
Based on 1374 verified traveler reviews.
Thanks to Zicasso’s tour operator, we had an amazing visit to Portugal. Here are the main reasons for the visit being so exceptional.
Accommodations: The hotels recommended were outstanding. They were located in the perfect areas in the cities we visited. They were updated, the rooms were excellent, and the amenities were plentiful.
Tour Guides: This is the biggest reason for our five-star review. The tour guides did not feel like employees of the tour operator. They felt like they were our friends. Our guides were very knowledgeable about all the places we visited. They were able to provide information that allowed us to understand the history of the places we were visiting. They truly wanted to make sure we had a great experience. They consistently made recommendations around places to eat, other sights to see, etc. Superb job by these gentlemen!!!!
Communication: From our first interaction until the end of the trip, communication from the travel specialist was excellent. The planning on what we should see and the order of the trip was perfect. She communicated with us during the trip to make sure we were aware of every detail. Great customer satisfaction.

My wife, sister, and I had an incredible adventure in Portugal, thanks to Zicasso’s travel specialists. We spent 12 days exploring most of the UNESCO sites in the country. The weather was a challenge, but we got to see what we wanted and had some wonderful memories created along the way. The team really went out of their way to make sure we had the best possible trip.

We just completed our amazing trip to Marrakech and Portugal… this trip exceeded our expectations. We (six of us—three couples) have so many memories from this trip; ones we will cherish for a long time.
First, we want to especially thank our travel specialist. Thank you—you made our trip the best.
Highlights included having every transfer smooth and on time, and every guide we had during the trip was super-engaged and informative.
All six of us highly recommend the travel company and our travel specialist in particular. We will definitely utilize this travel company again!

The trip was very enjoyable. Zicasso’s travel specialist was very responsive to changes during the trip. It was long and the boys got tired, so we were adding and subtracting activities daily.

Zicasso's travel company worked with our group to curate an itinerary that was perfect for us. We never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision. Rather, they were focused on meeting all of our needs, which was difficult with a diverse group of six people.

Zicasso’s travel specialist planned the absolute perfect vacation for me in Portugal. Every detail was handled beautifully, from the information provided to the activities scheduled. She was incredibly compassionate in planning and even small things, like when I had to leave early for the airport. She got the hotel to provide my breakfast to go. There's not a single thing I would change on the entire trip.
