Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid Vacations & Tours

Our trip was fantastic. The guides were excellent. The Madrid wine tour guide was excellent, our guide for the walking tour of Barcelona was excellent, our guide for the walking tour of Madrid city was excellent, and our guide for Tarragona and Sitges was excellent. We were so pleased with all the tours that I will not change anything for our next trip with you guys. I appreciate your company and the way you handle things. Zicasso’s travel specialist was so helpful. Thank you so much. I can't wait to do this all over again.

Our travel specialist and his team were superb in every aspect of the trip planning and execution. First, our specialist is exceptionally knowledgeable. He knows Barcelona and the surrounding areas, and was able to make recommendations for the trip that allowed us to really experience the area as fully as possible within the eight days we were there.

Second, he responds quickly to communications, and always provides helpful information or suggestions. He makes it a policy to be available by text, email, or phone when he has clients on his trips. And indeed, since the Pope came to visit during our trip, and we were uncertain how it would affect our plans, we appreciated being able to reach him so easily.

Third, he really listened to our interests and needs, and customized the trip accordingly. We had some special requests and needs, and he incorporated those issues into the trip planning. He communicated with us throughout the planning process to discuss those requests and needs and how they fit into the plan for the trip.

Fourth, our specialist is a very kind and compassionate person. We needed to reschedule our trip at the last minute due to the serious illness of a family member. Our second attempt also led to a rescheduling due to my travel partner's back problems. Our specialist was patient and understanding. Fortunately, we made it to Barcelona on the third try! We are very grateful to him for his kindness throughout the process.

Fifth, the partners our specialist hired to serve as tour guides and so on were all excellent. He also timed things very well, such as on the day when we took trains to travel to Girona and Figueres. Everything proceeded perfectly, without a glitch. I cannot remember another trip that I took in which everything proceeded so perfectly. While things like the weather and lack of issues with the airlines were not under our specialist's control, everything that was under his control was also perfect. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Spain, planned by Zicasso’s tour company. The accommodations were fine, the drivers were on time and professional, and the guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Of particular note was our guide in Girona, who truly made the history come alive. We would definitely use this travel company again.

I'm back at home after a wonderful vacation in Spain. Zicasso's travel specialist did a wonderful job arranging everything! It all went smoothly (aside from how long it took for our baggage to show up when we arrived, which made finding our first driver tricky).

The hotels were very nice and I liked how easy it was for us to walk to great food, shopping, and sights from each hotel. All the tours were informative, with very pleasant guides. I'm very excited about having the Basque cheesecake recipe after our cooking class. Other highlights were the Guggenheim Museum, front-row seats at the flamenco show, and all things Gaudí in Barcelona. I wish I were still there.

Thank you again for facilitating great memories!

What a great trip! The hotels were amazing, the transportation was seamless, and the tours were great!

Every step organized with our Zicasso travel specialist was seamless. Everything went as planned. All the hotels, guides, and tours selected were wonderful, and all the transportation types (trains, planes) were mostly very easy to navigate going between Barcelona, Sevilla, and Madrid.

The travel specialist was always available to discuss any aspect of the trip, including during our stay in Spain. We give the travel company an excellent review and will recommend Zicasso to our friends!

Job well done to our travel specialist!
