Barcelona Vacation Ideas

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.

My wife and I have been lucky enough to travel to many places around the world, but our April 2025 journey organized by Zicasso's tour company was easily one of the best. Our agent and her team thought of every detail. All we had to do was show up and enjoy these two beautiful countries!

We went to Four cities: Lisbon, Porto, San Sebastián, and Barcelona. The itineraries were thoughtfully planned to give us great experiences without wearing us out too much. And the guides in each city were fun, knowledgeable, and engaging. The transportation was always easy and on time, and the hotels were top-notch.

Zicasso's tour company was wonderful! The tour company was always on top of everything, providing outstanding guides and drivers. Everything worked seamlessly, even when our visit to La Sagrada Familia was canceled due to Barcelona closing all monuments because of flood danger. The tour company rearranged our tour quickly to Montserrat. I could not recommend a company more strongly.

Zicasso's travel specialist was great to work with. We were able to narrow down regions and day trips to make this a great experience. We weren't able to do our day trip to Girona due to train cancellations, but she helped facilitate a refund easily. I could definitely see myself using this company again for my next trip to Spain.

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.
