10 Day Spain & Portugal Itineraries

Everything went as expected. The trip was exactly as planned, with all pick-ups, all transfers, all requested tours, etc. We received an appropriate level of communications from Zicasso's travel specialist, who provided timely updates, names and phones of the drivers and guides, and all the needed details.

We had an amazing trip to southern Spain, planned by Zicasso’s travel specialists!

Zicasso’s travel specialist was great, with great communication skills and great ideas. I recommend her highly to anyone going to Spain or Portugal. We had some really unique experiences with real expert guides, including a wine tour in Penedès, a tapas and history tour, a visit to Sagrada Família, and a lovely evening with a local artist making mosaics.

There was a front of bad weather for more than four weeks in Portugal before we arrived. As a result, some of our plans had to be changed. Zicasso’s travel specialists were in communication with us the whole trip, letting us know about new possibilities. All worked like clockwork. The drivers arrived on time and the cars were in mint condition. The half-day guides in Lisbon and Porto were fantastic. The travel specialists were available for our suggestions and changes. The hotels they chose for us were what we wanted, boutique luxury, in good locations, near all the sites and restaurants. The rooms were small, but that comes with the choice.

We had a great trip, with knowledgeable guides who were very well organized. The one hiccup we encountered, the cancellation of all train service to the south due to a horrific train accident, was proactively and smoothly handled. A car service was arranged for us, as no flights were available. The hotels selected were well located in the historic areas, so we could explore some hidden gems on our own. The Madrid and Seville hotels were both historic and so fun to stay at. Overall, an excellent trip.

I couldn’t say enough positive things about Zicasso's travel specialists, from top to bottom. Airport service was excellent, daily guides were excellent, and management was excellent, a rare combination.
