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.

Our trip to Spain surpassed all expectations. Every hotel, every excursion, and every tour guide was exceptional. When we arrived at an airport, train station, or hotel, a driver was waiting for us to transport us to our next location. The tour guides were so full of knowledge and passion. It added to the experiences. Of course, our guide was the most professional, compassionate, and organized trip coordinator we could have asked for. She went above and beyond to make sure our trip to Spain was exactly what we wanted and needed. She paid attention to all details and made everything perfect. We are looking forward to working with her in the future.

Zicasso's trip planner was wonderful from start to finish. She developed an excellent itinerary for our mother-daughter trip. The hotels were nice, clean, and well-located. The tours were great and had a nice balance between history and fun. I would definitely recommend her!

Our trip to Spain was wonderful. We visited Valencia, Madrid, Granada, and Toledo. The Zicasso tour company and our agent did an exceptional job planning our journey and making sure we were taken care of at each stop, from arrival to departure.
Our agent was very attentive and responsive. We find this helps things run more smoothly while in a foreign country with a foreign language. She even went above and beyond in helping to ensure I had some extra pampering while in Spain. She was able to book two salon appointments for me in two different cities! This was so appreciated, as the language barrier can make this very difficult for me to do on my own.
Our guides were exceptional. We had the perfect combination of guided tours and free time. We learned so much about Spain's history and culture.
