Our Portugal Travel Specialists

From our first phone call with Zicasso's travel specialist, it was clear that we were on the same wavelength with respect to what we sought from this trip, and she made it even better with her suggestions. She was always very quick to respond to our questions and input, and overall we were really thrilled with the itinerary she put together. The result was that Spain turned out to be even better than we had expected!
The schedule was excellent, including using Madrid and Seville as the bases for day trips. Our visit to Tangier, Morocco, was particularly terrific. We had never before entertained such a visit because of health and security concerns, but when we expressed some curiosity, she wholeheartedly encouraged us. Most importantly, she provided a personal guide who was wonderful. Our guide ensured we could experience a bit of the culture, avoid any problems, enjoy a delicious meal, and get our first camel rides!
Throughout our journey, she secured admission tickets to palaces, fortresses, museums, etc., in advance, and we never had to wait in lines. During our travels, she also provided four tour guides. All were excellent: professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed every one of them. That goes as well for the private driver she arranged. Our driver not only conveyed us to and from the ferry terminal for our trip to Tangier, but also from Seville to Ronda and on to Granada.
She also introduced us to a travel app. It was extremely easy to use, allowed us to have our itinerary and tickets with us at all times, and enabled us to communicate with her and her staff instantly, which we did whenever a question cropped up. A great resource that we hope to have on future journeys.
Finally, the hotels she chose. Overall, their locations, staff, service, and breakfasts were first-rate. As an example, we never had any trouble getting ice every night for sore knees following our day’s explorations. On the other hand, we feel we should note that one hotel in Granada had a subpar breakfast and that the front-desk staff at one hotel in Seville did not stand out. Lastly, although she had nothing to do with it, she and her clients should know that the taxi service in Seville was tenuous as a general matter when it came to our time-sensitive transportation needs. We did not miss any entry time or event, but the hotel confirmed that the norm in that city is to call for a ride with no certainty of getting picked up on a timely basis.
But we cannot end with that. Our experiences in Spain were exceptional and very meaningful thanks to her. Whenever the subject comes up with our friends, we will be sure to recommend her and Zicasso for a wonderful trip.

My trip was amazing because of Zicasso. I use them for all of my international trips. Attention to detail is excellent and they always provide five-star service!

Zicasso's travel company provided our family with a memorable trip. All of our excursions and experiences were private and the tour guides were so knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. The experiences were varied, including kayaking, a food tour, an e-bike tour, and a private lunch with a vineyard owner. We loved it all!

Our trip was five-star quality from beginning to the end. I had arranged for many day trips throughout Northern Spain. Not one tour guide (five) or driver was a minute late. Actually, they were always five minutes early and more than ready to transport us to our next destination.
The careful thought of Zicasso’s travel company made each one of our day trips special and the hotels lived up to or exceeded our expectations. Of course, our eclipse day was even better than we could imagine, viewing it from a vineyard hill outside of Logrono.
All in all, the trip was top-notch, as was the excellent service we received from the travel company. Great job team!

Zicasso’s travel company made our trip to Portugal so easy and an outstanding experience for our family. Our travel advisor made excellent recommendations and continued to be available to us throughout our trip if questions arose. We had multiple groups arriving at different times and airports, and our car service was five-star and so easy.
In addition, we had a private cooking experience at our villa that was fun for the whole family. I recommend trying this travel company for an informative and simple process to use local guides for your trip to Portugal.

From the outset, the travel specialist dedicated an incredible amount of time to ensuring that every aspect of the trip was personalized and tailored to our preferences. He thoroughly researched the best location near our accommodation to experience the eclipse. He discovered a charming small church perched on a hill amidst vast farmland, offering an ideal vantage point. To enhance the experience, he organized a delightful picnic where we could savor snacks during the eclipse. Everything went perfectly!
