Spain Tour Review: Mallorca, San Sebastian, 11 Nights

Our Zicasso travel specialist was phenomenal. She understood exactly how we travel and what we wanted to do, and planned a 12-day trip to Mallorca and San Sebastián that was better than we even imagined. She was always responsive before and throughout the trip. All of the tour guides and drivers were kind, knowledgeable, and timely. Our travel company delivers exceptional first-rate service and we would highly recommend them.

Spain Vacation Review: History, Architecture, Hiking, E-Biking, Barcelona, Caminito del Rey, Marbella, 2 Weeks

Zicasso's travel specialists did a great job for us. They clearly listened to us and curated an experience that was made specifically for us. It checked all of the boxes and more.

Highlights were the local tour guides in each city. It was great to meet and get to know local people, learn so much history, see the architecture (Gaudí in Barcelona and the awesome palaces and cathedrals that we visited), the Montserrat hike, Caminito del Rey (which was absolutely better with a guide), and the Marbella e-bike adventure.

The hotels were wonderful; all unique and all great choices. We came home happy and tired, which is the sign of a good trip for us (since we do not ever sit on beaches or at pools and relax!).

Spain Tour Review: Pyrenees, Costa Brava, Menorca, Barcelona, History, Hiking, Countryside, 12 Nights

Our two week trip to Spain was amazing. Zicasso’s travel agency worked with us to book great places to stay and connected us with three wonderful, private tour guides when we were in Barcelona. With this said, the trip ended up costing much more than we expected it to, given we only had two full days of guides in the city. We chose to navigate and had no problem finding the trails and hikes we wanted to spend the majority of the time enjoying by ourselves.
