Portugal Travel Guide

This was a perfect Portuguese getaway, thanks to Zicasso's travel designer and the travel company!

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with her and the travel company. From the moment we reached out with just the idea of visiting Portugal, it was clear we were in excellent hands. She and her team went above and beyond to provide personal attention that made all the difference.

What stood out most was how genuinely she listened to what we wanted. Every suggestion felt handpicked for us—from charming hotels in Lisbon and Porto to incredible jeep tours in the Azores to a one-of-a-kind personal wine tasting in the Douro Valley that we never would have discovered on our own. Her knowledge of Portugal is unmatched and you can tell she is passionate about sharing the real Portugal with their clients.

Despite the high level of service, everything was surprisingly affordable. We got tremendous value without ever feeling like corners were being cut. It’s rare to find a company that balances quality and cost so well, but Zicasso's travel designer has struck that perfect balance.

This wasn’t just a trip—it was an experience we’ll remember forever. If you're considering a trip to Portugal, don't waste time trying to figure it out on your own. Let her and her team take care of it—you’ll be so glad you did!

We have just returned from our two-week trip to Portugal. This was the first time we've ever used an agency to help us plan a trip and we are hooked! Just having the ease of mind that everything was booked, planned, and paid for before we left was such a load off our shoulders.

In regard to the travel specialists with Zicasso's travel company, we couldn't be happier with how they handled every little detail! They made us feel like we were their friends and not just clients. The agent was straightforward with her opinions when we had questions, sharing her vast knowledge of the country, and together we came up with an amazing itinerary.

My husband and I traveled with our two adult children for 12 days through Portugal. Our trip was absolutely amazing, with every transfer, lodging, and tour detail seemingly tailored especially for us. Zicasso's travel expert was so wonderful to talk with as he planned our trip; he asked great questions to understand what kind of travelers we are and our interests. Our itinerary was perfect as we reviewed it prior to our trip, but as we experienced every transfer guide, tour specialist, and lodging, we could not have asked for a better experience. "Mahalo nui" (thank you so much) for helping us to experience your beautiful country and your even more beautiful and kind people. We can't wait for our trip back.

I wanted to make a special note of recognition about our transfer drivers/guides: they were absolutely amazing; so experienced and warm. We all enjoyed learning from them about Portugal and just felt so very well taken care of as they seamlessly transported us through your beautiful country and made sure we knew where to go and where to meet later. One of our drivers walked us through a local pastry shop to see the pastries being made; without him, we would have surely missed that experience. In Douro, another driver recommended a "locals" restaurant down the hill from our hotel. The owner was so kind he arranged for our server to drive us up the steep and winding hill to our hotel! These "special" experiences so reminded us of our beautiful Hawai'i and the spirit of "aloha" we felt so strongly in Portugal! At our departure, another driver walked us with our luggage into the airport departure terminal and showed us where to go (it was so much larger than any terminal we had been in). We would surely have been lost without his expert guidance.

Your tour guide selections were all simply amazing. We felt each guide's love ("aloha" for us) and attachment to each place we visited. We cannot thank you enough for all your work in planning so that we could truly enjoy and now have lasting memories until we return again.

With much "aloha" and gratitude, our "'ohana."

My wife and I recently returned from our trip to Portugal, booked with Zicasso's tour operator, and let me say, we could not have been happier. She helped us create an ideal trip in a little over a month, since we decided to book a relatively last-minute getaway.

Our travel expert was a pleasure to work with. We told her what we were looking for and she put together a fantastic itinerary for us. We were beyond happy with the hotels she suggested and booked, as well as every excursion, including private hikes and boat tours. Every part of the trip was well coordinated, including all the private transfers and guides, who were all exceptional themselves. She even met us at the airport when we arrived and even saw us off at the end of our trip, helping guide us around the airport to make that as efficient as possible.

Even on the days we had to ourselves without any planned excursions, she still put together a tentative itinerary, including suggestions of what to explore based on the location we were at.

Our travel expert was very responsive throughout our planning and you can tell she really cares about making her clients' experience the best it can possibly be. We cannot say enough good things about this company and therefore, highly recommend them if you are looking to travel to Portugal. Thank you again!
