Highlights Adventure in Spain and Portugal

Zicasso went above and beyond in helping this first-time traveler to Europe navigate a trip for nine ladies. Yes, nine, in celebration of my birthday. Not only did Zicasso provide suggestions, but the company was available in our moments of panic when we were making transfers. The professional and kind agents took care of changing reservations, setting up the most delightful drivers, and making us feel like we were not a burden when we know we were a pain in the arse more than once.

The flexibility and hotel accommodations for our group were set in perfect locations. We could not have enjoyed such a smooth travel experience without the support of the Zicasso team. We are ever grateful and definitely plan to use this service again.

Zicasso's travel professional and her team were great! Anytime I reached out to them during the trip by a messaging service, they responded in minutes and were always very helpful and kind. The tour guides they gave us were all very good. Every day we got the details for the next day’s activities and it all went according to plan. It was a great experience overall.

The itinerary was well planed, well balanced, and met the general requests I had for history, architecture, and natural landmarks.

This was one of the top five vacations of all time! That's saying a lot for a group of 60-plus-year-old experienced travelers.

I take great pleasure in planning a perfect international vacation with the help of expert travel professionals. The goal is to craft an integrated itinerary around all our varied interests so it can be stress-free while we're experiencing it.

The Zicasso travel agent’s team was top-notch. They listened, were proactive, and adapted effortlessly to changes. 

They had our backs in real-time throughout the vacation, with timely interventions when needed. It was quite reassuring and calming.

I know we worked together on content, so none of the activities or the schedule were a surprise. We enjoyed every activity and just loved Spain. Our trip was worry-free and we were in the country during the power outage. We were not able to visit a cathedral due to the power outage, but were able to do a different tour. Our guide was enthusiastic and we barely noticed any inconvenience.

Each guide was on time and personable. We had a couple of substitutes and that was not noticeable at all. In general, each guide was knowledgeable and we learned so much. 

Our first guide, in Madrid, was so kind when he realized jet lag was going to cut our tour short – not his fault. He was the best choice for our first tour. He was so knowledgeable and helped to orient us to Madrid. It was so great to have a personal guide so we could ask questions. 

Toledo was fantastic. We loved the guide and the city. The train ride was our first and we had to navigate the train station, but we did just fine after a few wrong turns. We took the bus to the station. The bus worked great. We were exhausted from our day in Toledo, but still walked from the train station. The information on how to get to the station was accurate and it was a lovely walk.

Sevilla was magical. We were surprised when our driver drove through a public square to let us out to walk to the hotel!  We loved our tour, really liked the hotel, and had great meals in the restaurant. We got to know the bartender and she helped us experiment with local wines. 

Our trip to Ronda was beautiful and our guide and driver were both excellent, especially our driver, who had to work around a running and walking event going on that meant our meeting spot was inaccessible. But he was on time and close, and we made it work! 

Our trip to the olive oil museum was great, but we were part of a group and some of the people in the group were just stupid. I am allergic to olive trees and my allergies completely kicked up. We enjoyed the tour and bought olive oil, but I just couldn’t understand why some people on the tour were so rude.

The wine tasting also got us a spontaneous flamenco demonstration, which was fantastic. We stayed and did a wine tasting with the owner. We could have stayed all afternoon. She was lovely and interesting, and we enjoyed our time there very much.

Málaga was a joy and it was there we had the power outage. We had a great tour with our guide, who took so many pictures of us and slowed down to compensate for my tired legs. Touring was catching up with me. The Picasso Museum was open and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We loved our hotel and were very grateful there was a good restaurant with an excellent bar, and we took advantage of that! 

Granada was worth a visit and our trip to the Alhambra was amazing; our guide was five-star.

Our Spain trip was seamless, thanks to Zicasso's travel agency. All the drivers, tours, and train tickets were taken care of. The tours were very thoughtful and well planned. They were a pleasure to work with and we would absolutely use them again.
