Magic of Spain in March: Best Spring Tour

The trip was lovely, but our itinerary was too busy. We’re seniors and enjoy downtime each day. Some of the trips with drivers were too long. Our hotel in Barcelona was very nice with great food. The hotel in Seville was disappointing. The concept of Zicasso is good, but age-appropriate planning would be an improvement.

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!

The owners of Zicasso’s tour company were amazing from start to finish. They curated a custom trip for us to Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Málaga, Toledo, and Granada. They listened to our requests and came up with a brilliant itinerary that included personal drivers, hotels, dining recommendations, and tour guides. They were also so quick to respond to our questions and pivot our plans when needed. This was a very special 30th-anniversary trip for us and they knocked it out of the park.

Zicasso’s travel agent and her team made our entire trip seamless! We had the best time and were able to enjoy many sights and activities with the help of the travel company! We requested a whirlwind tour of Spain and they came up with the perfect itinerary for us. In each city, we were greeted by extremely knowledgeable and friendly tour guides and excellent, clean, and centrally located lodging.

I would not hesitate to recommend this tour company to any friends traveling to Spain (or Portugal). A few highlights that I would suggest others include for future trips:

We were fortunate enough to visit Valencia during the Fallas celebration in March—this was so much fun to see and be a part of! Even though we were there a week before the primary celebration, the city was still alive with excitement!

Sagrada Familia was amazing, but we also really loved seeing Park Güell—another Gaudí creation. Thanks to the travel specialist and her team, we didn't miss anything!

We loved our day tour from Barcelona to Montserrat and the winery—it was nice to get out into the country for a day.

The motorcycle with sidecar tour was so much fun! That wasn't even on my radar as an activity to request and I'm so glad it was added to our itinerary!

Thank you to the travel team for an amazing 12-day adventure in Spain!

Our group of five ladies recently returned from a wonderful 10-day trip to Spain, visiting Madrid, Seville, and Málaga. From the very beginning, working with Zicasso’s travel specialists made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.

During the planning stages, our travel specialist was outstanding. We had several phone calls and exchanged numerous emails, and he always listened carefully to my suggestions, while offering thoughtful recommendations of his own. Together, we created a customized itinerary that perfectly suited our group. Highlights included the flamenco show, guided tours of Madrid, Triana, Málaga, the Alhambra, and the Real Alcazar in Seville.

All of our tour guides were local, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and culinary traditions of their cities. We particularly enjoyed our time in Triana with a local guide and our tour in Madrid with another local guide. Their insights and enthusiasm made our experiences even more memorable.

The logistics throughout the trip were excellent. Every transfer between airports, hotels, and train stations was punctual and professionally handled. Our drivers were always on time, courteous, and reliable.

The hotels selected for us were beautiful, comfortable, and conveniently located. The standout was our hotel in Málaga, which was absolutely stunning. We also appreciated the excellent breakfast options at each property. An added convenience was that every hotel allowed us to check in early, something our group greatly appreciated after traveling.

Throughout the trip, our travel specialists remained in close communication with us and were always responsive to any questions or requests. Our specialist consistently provided advance information regarding our guides and meeting locations, which made everything easy and stress-free. When our train from Málaga to Madrid was rescheduled to an earlier departure time, she promptly notified us, sent updated tickets, and arranged an earlier hotel pick-up, ensuring that everything went smoothly.

The level of stress that often accompanies international travel was significantly reduced thanks to the professionalism, organization, and attention to detail provided by the travel specialists. It was truly a pleasure working with them and their dedication ensured that every aspect of our trip ran smoothly.

We would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone planning a trip to Spain. They helped create a memorable experience that our group will cherish for years to come.

Zicasso's travel specialist and his team were awesome! All we knew was that we wanted to go to Lisbon and Barcelona, and see some local culture in Spain. He designed a trip from Lisbon to Sevilla to Córdoba (day trip) to Grenada (with a stop in Ronda) to Barcelona. The guides and tours were all excellent, and his hotel and travel choices were spot-on. Our guide in Grenada (our travel specialist himself!) was awesome. I can't recommend more highly.
