Spain Tour Review: Baths, Flamenco, Guitar Concert, 10-Day Trip

I dealt with our travel agent to plan our trip for two couples. I knew roughly the locations we wanted to visit, but with her suggestions and recommendations, our visit to several cities in Spain was enhanced and made the trip even more memorable.

Needless to say, all guides and drivers were punctual and the guides were very knowledgeable and flexible to our needs. I would highly recommend Zicasso's travel company.

Spain Travel Review: Barcelona, Mallorca, Granada, Park Guell, Sagrada Familia, Alhambra, Flamenco, 12 Nights

What a wonderful experience working with Zicasso's travel designer from the travel company! My husband and I wanted to travel throughout Spain, but neither of us was interested in arranging any of the details!! We expressed to her our interests, timeline, and budget, and voila, a trip of a lifetime to Spain was created!! She was professional and very easy to work with. She was quick to address any questions we had via phone or text, adjusted our itinerary as many times as we asked, and truly went out of her way to make sure we were 100% satisfied with all of the details.

The hotels she selected were wonderful and in good locations. The guides for our tours were top-notch and the transportation was always timely. While we appreciated her and her team's help throughout all of the planning process and throughout the trip, what we appreciated most was the 24/7 support. The app on our phones utilized for the trip was also very user-friendly!

Zicasso's travel expert at the tour company was exceptional. He immediately understood our priorities for the trip and created an itinerary that met our goals. The tour company worked with us to modify elements of the trip when our adult children and other family members decided to join us for different portions of the trip. Our travel expert was an exceptional logistics coordinator.
