Portugal Luxury Anniversary Trip Review: Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra, Aveiro, Douro Valley, Sintra, Vineyards, Cruise, Fado, 10-Day Tour
We spent 10 days in Portugal celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary, and everything went exactly as planned thanks to Filomena and all of her incredible planning and tour guides.  She met us at the airport when we arrived in Lisbon and welcomed us with open arms.  We went directly to the train station to head up to Porto.  We had a food tour, river cruise to see the bridges, a day trip to Coimbra and Aveiro, and two winery visits in Douro Valley while we were there.  The drivers and guides could not have been more friendly.  We felt like we were family by the end of each day spent with them. We then traveled by train back to Lisbon for a couple of days which included a guided walking tour of the city, a day trip to Sintra, Cabo de Roca and Cascais, and an intimate Fado dinner.  We then traveled to Portimão for a couple of days in the sun to rest and relax before heading home.  We did the boat tour of the Benagil Caves while we were there.  I'd highly recommend that!  We took our last train ride back to Lisbon and flew home the next day.  What a magical trip!   All of our guides and drivers were superb and we feel like we have a family in Portugal :)

Travel Review: Tour of Portugal, Lisbon, Algarve, Alvor

My husband and I and two other couples just came back from 8 wonderful days in Portugal arranged by this travel agency - 4 nights in Lisbon and 4 nights in the town of Alvor in the Algarve.  This travel agent did a wonderful job selecting our hotels and arranging all our tours.   Our tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating.   Our driver throughout the journey was also very knowledgeable, entertaining and friendly and recommended some wonderful restaurants for us to try.  Every one in the group was completely satisfied, we would not have changed one thing with this trip, except perhaps to make it a bit longer!  Would 100% recommend this agent and his company and look forward to being able to use their services again.

Portugal Luxury Family Trip Review: Lisbon, Lagos, Ericeira, Paddle-Boarding, Local Cuisine, Surfing, Sunset Sail, E-Biking

Our trip to Portugal with our 18-year-old twin boys, arranged by our Zicasso travel agent, was perfect! While quite active, we had ample unstructured time as well. Portugal is welcoming, gorgeous, and full of interesting history. We stayed three nights in charming and laidback Ericeira, three nights in scenic Lagos, and two nights in Lisbon. Having our driver made all the difference. I'm grateful to the trip planner for listening and catering to our family's need to be active and to our driver for being so knowledgeable, personable, and flexible, while speaking perfect English.

Clearly, this is a well-run tour company that takes care of its customers. Our paddle-boarding activity in Lagos was canceled due to the strong currents. The travel agency refunded us without us having to ask. The hotel was able to arrange golf for my husband and sons, so it all worked out.

Each boutique hotel was lovely and different. The hotel in Ericeira was expansive and in a beautiful setting right on the coast. Our rooms with balconies made a big difference. The hotel in Lagos had a totally different vibe, felt new and upscale, and had an impressive garden, an interesting history, and multiple pools. With a romantic feeling, it's perfect for couples, new or old, and families with young children. The hotel in Lisbon had the best breakfast buffet and was conveniently located for walking the Alfama neighborhood and exploring Avenue da Liberdade and Parque Eduardo VII. It also had a rooftop bar with stunning city views.

Luxury Portugal Vacation Review: Porto, Tomar, Óbidos, Sintra, Evora, Lisbon, Douro Valley Wine Trip, 10-Day Tour
We loved our 10 day trip to Portugal! Filomena and George at this travel company did a great job taking care or us. They were always very responsive to our requests before the trip, and provided great support during our trip. They also provided Wi-Fi hotspot for us during the whole trip which really helped when we were on our own just meandering around Porto and Lisbon. The guides we had on the tours were very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the country/region. We will definitely recommend this travel team to anyone who would love to visit the lovely country.

Portugal Luxury Vacation Review: Lisbon, Douro Valley, Porto, Évora, 10-Day Trip

I highly recommend booking your personalized Portuguese itinerary with our Zicasso travel partner. We booked a short six weeks before our trip, yet he still put together unique hotels, an amazing variety of dining experiences, and guided tours that perfectly met our interests.

Our 10-day trip was a perfect introduction to Portugal in late October, with home bases in Lisbon, Évora, and Porto. Our travel agent booked accommodations that exactly met our preferences for warm, professional staff, historic buildings, and luxurious touches. We felt like royalty.

Our Zicasso tour operator arranged a terrific and varied slate of guided private and small group experiences balanced with time to relax and explore on our own. He was immediately responsive to our requests and questions before and during our trip. Every aspect of the trip flowed seamlessly. We hope we have the opportunity to book with our travel agency again.
