Spain Family Tour Review: Seville, Madrid, Mijas, Malaga, Marbella, Granada, Marbella, Lisbon, Flamenco, Museum, Winery, Cruise
Our daughter Sophie had been studying abroad since January in Seville, Spain. We needed to plan a family trip to see where she was living and enjoy her experiences there. We live in Minneapolis, Minnesota and had no idea where to even begin with our adventures in Spain!  So, I went online and through many reviews of travel agencies, I found Zicasso to have great reviews. Once we decided on a really good fit with Rosa from the travel agency who teams up with Zicasso for the region you are visiting. We flew out to join our daughter mid-May. ( we booked everything with our Guide Rosa about 6.5 months ahead of time) She sent us an App called UnMapped and we had full itinerary, contact names, phone numbers of drivers, tour guides, our main contact email and text through What's App. So I never felt lost or misguided. They took care of us from the moment we got off the airplane in Madrid, to a speed train to Seville, daily tours and guides and then finally our driver to pick us up and get us to the Malaga airport.  With 6 people in our party, this made things so easy so we could simply enjoy our time together on a family vacation in Spain. We had an awesome journey to the southern beauty of Spain's Andalucia region. Cities include Seville, Ronda, Mijas, Malaga, Marbella, Granada & a layover in Portugal's Lisbon. We used Zicasso - a travel agency with Rosa. I highly recommend this company. So many ways we enjoyed the vibe of Spain- from guided walking city tours, Tapas & Flamenco, wine tasting at a Vineyard ( the Flamenco museum and show was absolutely stunning!) A visit to the moorish cultural palace & fortress Alhambra in Granada, variety of cathedrals, Picasso museum, the Royal Alcazar Castle in Seville and a winery visit to Chinchilla in the rolling hills of Ronda. Sophia our daughter even surprised us with a special boat cruise on the Guadalquivir River in Seville with a champagne toast! Our feet are tired and hearts are full! What an adventure! Don't stumble around when you take a trip- hire a Guide to do it right! Bravo to Rosa and her entire team that Guided us- drivers included- were phenomenal!!!  5 plus Stars!!!

Travel Review: Spain Tour, Barcelona, Madrid, Granada, Ronda, Nerja, Malaga, Seville, Tapas Class, City Bike Tour

The trip was 5 star in every way. All of the drivers were on time at the airports, train stations and hotels. The accommodations were all wonderful and centrally located. The tour guides in every city were superb. The itinerary was 2 days in Barcelona where we enjoyed a tour of the city by bicycle and a wonderful tapas class, a high speed train to Sevilla where we stayed for 2 days and picked up a car. We drove all through Andalucia visiting Ronda, Granada(Alhambra) and the beach town of Nerja. We dropped the car off in Malaga and took the train back to Madrid where we spent a day in Toledo and closed with dinner and the finest Flamenco show in all of Spain. Our travel representative prepared a wonderful journey for my wife and me. I would recommend this travel agency with a grade of A+............Harold S

Review: Spain Tour, Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid, Seville, Granada, Toledo, Costa Brava, Alhambra Tour, Soccer Game

We visited Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid, Sevilla, Granada and Toledo.

Our travel agency took care of making hotel reservations and providing us with guides for our tour.

All hotel reservations were fine, good, clean hotels great breakfast included.

Our guides were experts, very knowledgeable, nice and polite.

Our travel agency got us tickets for a soccer game in Barcelona and a bullfight in Madrid, good accommodations.

Only in one occasion, in Sevilla, we could not meet with our guide and had to go by our selves.

When visiting the Alhambra, in Granada, at the end of the visit we couldn't find where our bus was and had to take a taxi. The guide did not return with us.

In general, our travel agency's services were very good, they made our visit very enjoyable and would recommend them to any body willing to visit Spain.

Review: Luxury Spain Tour, Barcelona, Madrid, Cordoba, Seville, Granada, Marbella, Camanito del Rey Hiking

Loved, loved, loved our 12 day trip to southern Spain!  Our travel planner and all of her partners were wonderful, friendly and prompt.  They helped to make our trip so enjoyable.  The tours they put together for us were individualized and made us feel so special!

In just 10 actual days in country we saw Madrid, Segovia, Cordoba, Sevilla, Jerez, Zahara, Marbella, Rhonda, Granada and Toledo - a LOT to take in and a lot of history to absorb.
