Azores Islands Travel Guide

This was our first time using an agent to plan a trip for us, and Zicasso's travel partner did not disappoint! Every experience they booked for us was amazing, and all of our drivers and guides did a great job helping us understand the history and culture of the Azores and Portugal. The travel company's team kept in touch with us throughout the trip, which ensured a stress-free experience! Thank you!

We had an amazing trip to Portugal and Spain, and a huge thank you goes to Zicasso's travel specialist and the travel company team for putting it all together. From the wineries and hotels to the cooking classes and restaurant recommendations, everything felt carefully thought out and tailored to what we enjoy. It never felt like a generic itinerary. Every stop seemed to fit exactly what we were looking for.

Some of our favorite memories were the time we spent in the Douro Valley, Rioja, and San Sebastián. The cooking classes were fantastic, the wineries were outstanding, and we discovered so many great restaurants and wines along the way.

We also had excellent local guides and drivers who made the experience even better. Their knowledge and enthusiasm added a lot to the trip. Most importantly, the trip was completely stress-free. We were able to relax and enjoy ourselves because all of the details had been handled so well in advance.

We came home with great memories, a lot of bottles of wine, and a list of places we'd love to visit on our next trip. We wouldn't hesitate to work with our travel specialist and Zicasso's travel company again, and we'd gladly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Portugal or Spain.

Great hotel choices!

Zicasso's travel company and travel specialist were amazing! She created a custom 10-day itinerary that allowed us to visit Porto, Lagos, and Lisbon. She selected great hotels that provided easy access to the city, beaches, and group tour meeting locations.

Our travel specialist's recommendations for activities were perfect, and all ground transportation was very timely. She was a great communicator and very responsive to any questions during our trip!

Overall, our travel specialist and her team were amazing! We could not have found a better travel specialist to plan our trip!

Thank you to our travel specialist and the entire team.

Zicasso’s travel company was fantastic! Throughout the entire process they were incredibly responsive and attentive to every detail to make this the most unforgettable trip for us. We truly could not recommend them enough to all of our friends and family.

Zicasso’s travel specialist was wonderful and so amazing. Little did I know she was planning two separate itineraries for us, one with me and one with my now fiancé. The second itinerary was a surprise proposal and I had no idea.

This was a trip of a lifetime and one that we will definitely remember throughout the years. Thank you to our travel company!

It was just what we hoped for. The right balance of planned activities and free time, cities and country, nice dinners and adventures. We especially loved the time in Miranda do Douro.
