Portugal Tour Review: Lisbon, Lagos, Jewelry Making, Bengali...

This trip was fantastic! My husband and I, along with my three daughters in their 20s, had the best time. Planning with Zicasso's travel expert was easy. She was quick to respond to emails, texts and calls before and during the trip.

We wanted some unique experiences, like making Portuguese filigree jewelry, and she found a great place for us! The hotels she selected were perfect for our larger group.

The trip was a fantastic introduction to Portugal and a great mix of history, activities, and relaxing.

We had three generations of family members on the trip, with a wide range of interests and dietary needs. Zicasso's travel company did an amazing job guiding us every day and accommodating last-minute changes. Each of the guides were very knowledgeable about the area and history, and flexible to our needs.

We could not have had a better experience than with Zicasso's trip planner. The quality of individualized tours, accommodations, and private transportation made our trip. Most importantly, if we had any questions during our trip in this new country, she was immediately responsive. We have been spoiled forever and would use her services for any future trips!
