Portugal Tours for Seniors

Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team of guides and drivers provided us with a wonderful experience and tour of Portugal. Of the three companies that I received tour proposals from, this tour operator provided the itinerary that best matched what we wanted to see and do. The pre-trip information provided was comprehensive, thorough, and very useful.

Once we began our tour, it exceeded our expectations. Each day and our activities were distinct and very enjoyable in different ways. The very thoughtful and enthusiastic support of our team made the difference; made our trip special.

The guides and drivers all clearly cared about our enjoyment, safety, and happiness with our touring–they each went above and beyond the call of duty. We enjoyed our conversations, they answered our many questions, and they were very knowledgeable, and accurate (I did fact-check some of the information). Their advice and recommendations for dining were excellent; we enjoyed many delicious, classic Portuguese dishes. By the end of our time with them, we felt more like friends than clients.

I have already highly recommended them to friends who are considering a visit to Portugal next year. We have traveled extensively, to over 55 countries, and enjoyed many great experiences. This trip was among the best of our trips.

The trip exceeded our expectations. Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team did an outstanding job of creating an effective plan of daily activities, including transportation, lovely hotels, knowledgeable guides, and great sites in Portugal. The overall trip felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

We recently returned from two fabulous weeks in Portugal. This was the first time we had used an agency to help plan, book, and manage a trip. We could not be more pleased and I highly doubt we will ever go back to handling all of that ourselves.

Zicasso’s travel specialist and his team (most notably our guide) were incredible. The travel specialist listened to our hopes for this trip (as well as what we like to do when traveling) and put together an awesome itinerary. Our main stops were Lisbon, the Algarve, Porto, and the Douro Valley.

Major highlights included four-hour walking and food tours in Lisbon and Porto (the first of which was the day we arrived from the United States. I didn’t think we could do it, but it was the best way to start our trip), the tile museum and tile workshop, a boat ride through the cave formations in the Algarve, a wonderful farm-to-table lunch and wine pairing under a 2,000-year-old olive tree in the Algarve, and an 18-mile e-bike ride in the mountains of the Douro (I definitely didn’t think we could do it).

The sites, the food, the hotels! We did so many things and had so many unforgettable experiences, but in the end, it was the kindness and generosity of all the people we met that will stay with us.

It was a perfect trip, with wonderful people.

Zicasso’s travel agent not only met, but exceeded our expectations! We had a wonderful 10 days in Portugal, with top-notch lodging and the best, nicest, and knowledgeable guides. I trust Zicasso to only work with the best!

I have traveled extensively, but I have never received the personal service that I did from Zicasso’s travel agent. There were numerous emails and Zoom calls before we finalized the trip, and quick responses to emails and calls during our travels. And every guide was so knowledgeable and personable.
