8-Day Spain: Andalusia Cultural Tour

Our travel planner and her team planned a fantastic 10 day trip for my wife and I.  We went through Seville, Cordoba, Granada, and Barcelona, and had a great experience in every city.  We highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Spain!

The travel company was easy to work with during the planning process.  Our planner did a great job of listening to what types of things we wanted to see and do, and then putting together an itinerary that matched our interests.  She definitely recommended fun places and activities that we never would have found on our own.  Early on she provided multiple options to help us understand what was possible, and then let us decide the details of which activities we wanted to do and how we wanted to balance having a set schedule versus having more free time.  She was very responsive throughout, making it easy to refine the itinerary before locking on our plans.  It very much felt like she was helping us design "our" trip, rather than selling us a pre-planned agenda.  

During the trip, everything went off without a hitch.  The guides for our private tours were consistently great, and other activities she booked for us were all as good as advertised.  The hotels she booked us in were all great and matched what we expected.  Our travel planner continually checked in with us during the trip to make sure we were getting to cities as scheduled and that everything was going well.  I always felt that she was available if anything had gone wrong.  Finally, the recommendations that our travel company provided for each city of restaurants/bars to try, and of things to do in our free time, were all good.  We used their recommendations almost exclusively while exploring each city on our own.   

Our Spain travel agency listened carefully to our interests and planned a perfect mix of urban locations rich in history and culture, along with visits to national parks that allowed for hiking and breathtaking vistas.  Hotels were all charming and gracious.  She provided guides for cities (Granada, Cordoba, and Seville) who were extremely knowledgeable about the history and art of these unique locations.  All spoke excellent English and lived locally.  They not only shared their knowledge, but also their enthusiasm for the region, which made our visit that much more fun and memorable. 

Although we typically plan our own vacations, it was very fortunate that Zicasso pointed us toward this agent for this trip.  We would never have located these unique settings or been able to plan this detailed itinerary.  Her extensive knowledge of the area and her dedication to planning a very personal trip were the keys to making this adventure so special. 

This travel agency put together an amazing itinerary for a week in Spain for our family. We planned this trip without a lot of lead time and our travel agency was quick to respond and made sure our needs, and the needs of our 2 year-old were taken care of. They booked wonderful centrally located boutique hotels in each of the cities we visited - Seville, Cordoba & Granada. Our travel agency thought of everything including a fabulous guide for a walking tour of Cordoba. We forgot our stroller at the hotel in Seville and only realized it when we were already on the way to Cordoba, but our agency contacted the hotel for us and made sure that our stroller was waiting for us at the hotel in Granada when we arrived.

We were looking for a relaxing week to explore Andalucia, and that is exactly what we had.

The travel planner exceeded our expectations. We had such a wonderful time, from the beginning until the end. She provided us with a finely crafted tour of Andalucia, starting in Granada, then to Malaga, Ronda, Sevilla and finally to Cordoba. She also booked us at charming and historic hotels with great views. The tour guides she selected were very knowledgeable, friendly and gave us local insights we wouldn’t have gotten from standard guides. Her recommendations for other sights and activities, including restaurants and Spanish food, were exemplary. We could not have asked for a better vacation than this. Highly recommended!

We just returned from a week-long trip to Barcelona, Cordoba, and Malaga that was planned by this travel agent. My husband and I, our three teen daughters, and my mother went on the trip, and we all absolutely loved it from start to finish! Every guide and driver was knowledgeable and friendly. The apartment accommodations were perfect for traveling as a family. And the activities our travel agent recommended and organized were exactly what we had hoped for. The travel itinerary and app kept us super organized and took all of the stress out of the travel logistics, so we could just enjoy our time together as a family, exploring a beautiful destination.
