Reviews of Zicasso's Portugal Tours & Vacations
Based on 1537 verified traveler reviews.
Our family had an absolutely amazing experience traveling through Portugal, thanks to Zicasso’s travel specialist and her company. Every detail of our vacation was thoughtfully planned and customized to fit our family's interests, making the trip completely stress-free and enjoyable.
We spent the first half of our trip in Lisbon, with unforgettable day trips to Sintra, Nazaré, and Óbidos. Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and brought Portugal's history and culture to life. She was also wonderful with our family and made every excursion engaging for both adults and children.
Our travel specialist was outstanding from start to finish. She greeted us at the airport, coordinated all of our transportation, checked in with us throughout the trip, and ensured everything ran seamlessly. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her clients truly set her apart.
For the second half of our vacation, we traveled to Lagos in the Algarve. Our kids had an incredible time at the waterpark and loved kayaking through the stunning sea caves. These experiences were perfectly chosen for our family and created lasting memories.
One of the things we appreciated most was that all of our guides and drivers were Portuguese. This gave us an authentic perspective on the country, its culture, and its people that we never would have experienced otherwise.
I highly recommend our travel specialist and her team to anyone looking for a unique, personalized, and memorable trip to Portugal. Their professionalism, local expertise, and outstanding service made this one of the best family vacations we have ever taken.

Zicasso’s travel company made our trip to Portugal so easy and an outstanding experience for our family. Our travel advisor made excellent recommendations and continued to be available to us throughout our trip if questions arose. We had multiple groups arriving at different times and airports, and our car service was five-star and so easy.
In addition, we had a private cooking experience at our villa that was fun for the whole family. I recommend trying this travel company for an informative and simple process to use local guides for your trip to Portugal.
