Our Portugal Travel Specialists

The entire team of the travel company was excellent. We really appreciate the time and effort they took to make our trip special and memorable. Their responsiveness to our requests and needs showed the highest levels of customer service and care. The travel company took great care in coordinating all of our activities and made the trip fun, memorable, and stress-free. We’ve all made it home safely and miss Portugal already! Thank you again!

Our trip was outstanding. Everything went so smoothly and all the activities were so much fun. It was easy to get in touch with our contact at Zicasso’s travel company. For example, we were running late to one of our activities and she was able to reach out to the guide and let him know. It really took all the stress out of traveling. I highly recommend this travel company!

Our family had an absolutely amazing experience traveling through Portugal, thanks to Zicasso’s travel specialist and her company. Every detail of our vacation was thoughtfully planned and customized to fit our family's interests, making the trip completely stress-free and enjoyable.
We spent the first half of our trip in Lisbon, with unforgettable day trips to Sintra, Nazaré, and Óbidos. Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and brought Portugal's history and culture to life. She was also wonderful with our family and made every excursion engaging for both adults and children.
Our travel specialist was outstanding from start to finish. She greeted us at the airport, coordinated all of our transportation, checked in with us throughout the trip, and ensured everything ran seamlessly. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her clients truly set her apart.
For the second half of our vacation, we traveled to Lagos in the Algarve. Our kids had an incredible time at the waterpark and loved kayaking through the stunning sea caves. These experiences were perfectly chosen for our family and created lasting memories.
One of the things we appreciated most was that all of our guides and drivers were Portuguese. This gave us an authentic perspective on the country, its culture, and its people that we never would have experienced otherwise.
I highly recommend our travel specialist and her team to anyone looking for a unique, personalized, and memorable trip to Portugal. Their professionalism, local expertise, and outstanding service made this one of the best family vacations we have ever taken.

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!

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.

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!

The team at Zicasso’s tour operator extended an incredible amount of patience and willingness to flex with some very last-minute and unexpected obstacles to my travel. Accommodations, tours, reservations, and ground transportation all required changes; the tour operator handled these concerns with prompt attention, courtesy, and professionalism.
During initial planning, my needs were thoroughly considered and the tour operator made excellent recommendations as we built an exciting itinerary. From my arrival to Italy through my departure, the accommodations, companies, and vendors chosen by the tour operator all contributed to a true luxury experience.

Our trip was excellent and everything we could have hoped for. We saw and experienced everything we had desired. We were fully pleased with every aspect of our trip; the accommodations, our guides, and any support that we needed along the way.
My husband and I feel that we were listened to in the planning of the trip, and that all expectations were met. Zicasso’s travel specialist and his team were highly responsive, answered all questions, and took care to ensure our trip met our expectations.
