Morocco, Portugal, Spain Anniversary Tour Review: Casablanca, Porto, Lisbon, Sevilla, Malaga, Madrid, Sherry Tasting, Private Guides, Private Drivers, History, Culture, 17-Day Trip

Zicasso’s travel agency helped us plan a 17-day, three-country tour (Morocco, Portugal, and southern Spain). We were able to enjoy all the highlights of each city we visited with a very well-paced schedule!

The travel company's staff were flexible too! Adjusting the initial itinerary for cost and sites to visit was not an issue. We cut out a leg to Barcelona and some private drivers where prudent. We also adding things back in (i.e., a sherry-tasting experience, etc., was accommodated).

During our trip was where this travel company truly excelled. The staff very conscientiously checked in on us as our tour progressed and were proactively reminding us (via a messaging tool) of meeting places and the names of guides for the next day. They stayed on top of our itinerary and continuously inquired if they could do anything else! I enlisted their help when I had trouble checking in to our flight from Casablanca to Porto. At my request, she stepped in and helped successfully check us in! Knowing of my difficulties in checking in to intra-EU flights, she then took the initiative to check us in to our next flight from Lisbon to Sevilla! I even had a scare when I forgot some valuables in the safe in our hotel in Málaga, but she was able to retrieve them and send them to me in Madrid! It was comforting to know we had someone in our corner looking out for us!

We have gone with Zicasso on many trips, but this tour operator met and far exceeded our expectations for this trip! The travel company not only saved me a great disappointment for my forgetfulness, but provided very informative private guides, courteous drivers, and exceptional personal service throughout our itinerary! This was our 43rd-anniversary trip and they provided us with wonderful memories that will last us a lifetime!

The owners of Zicasso’s tour company were amazing from start to finish. They curated a custom trip for us to Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Málaga, Toledo, and Granada. They listened to our requests and came up with a brilliant itinerary that included personal drivers, hotels, dining recommendations, and tour guides. They were also so quick to respond to our questions and pivot our plans when needed. This was a very special 30th-anniversary trip for us and they knocked it out of the park.

Spain Vacation Review: Madrid, Granada, Seville, Barcelona, Costa Brava, Toledo, Cordoba, Flamenco, Sailing, Museums, Cathedrals, 11-Day Trip

My husband, our two adult sons, and myself had the pleasure of going to Spain for 11 nights. We didn’t know much about the country, so we relied on Zicasso’s travel specialist to guide us. From the start, she explained the history, culture, food, etc.

We traveled to Madrid, Granada, Seville, Barcelona, and Costa Brava! We also took day trips to Toledo and Córdoba. We had excellent tour guides and drivers. Our trip flowed nicely, as we were on the go a lot of the time.

It was a trip of a lifetime for our family. We looked forward to the tapas, paellas, Jamón Ibérico, gazpacho, empanadas, rabo de toro, and, of course, the seafood every evening. The Spanish people were great and some we’ll never forget!

We learned so much about the ancient and early history, including the Roman conquest through the Medieval and early modern history. We were taking in this information all week, including the Prado Museum, the Picasso Museum, and the Dalí Theatre-Museum!

A simple family moment was sitting on our rooftop in Seville by the pool looking out at this beautiful city, which was difficult to leave!

Spain Trip Review: Seville, 10 Days

Zicasso's trip expert was patient and responsive to our numerous requests and persistent in thoroughly organizing the trip. All planned aspects of the trip were carried out professionally and as scheduled. Recommended restaurants proved to be great choices.

For scheduled transfers, we were met by courteous, helpful drivers, with clean, comfortable vans. The drivers knew exactly where we were to be delivered and, on appropriate occasions, showed amazing skill in navigating the complex maze of narrow streets and tight corners of some of the old city centers.

Selected hotels were prepared for our arrival, provided clean, comfortable rooms, and served delicious breakfasts. Hotel staffs were consistently friendly and helpful. The staff of our hotel in Sevilla were especially noteworthy for their efforts to make our stay as enjoyable as possible and, even more, for their quick response to a medical emergency experienced by one of our group.

Tour guides were absolutely outstanding. Each was thoroughly knowledgeable of their tour subjects, able to field our numerous questions, and readily adapted the tours to our expressed interests.

Overall, a well-planned, well-executed, and most enjoyable trip.

Spain, Greece Vacation Review: Seville, Barcelona, Athens, Santorini, River Tour, 17 Nights

Overall, we had a wonderful trip. All of the locations were great and met our expectations. A few of our hotel accommodations could have been a little bit better, but overall, they met our needs. The tours and our guides were wonderful, very knowledgeable, and friendly.

The river ride in Seville, Spain, was the only activity that wasn't very good, as it seemed more like a boat ride versus a tour. Also, the communications with the travel company in Greece and Spain were excellent. They provided all the information we needed via text and WhatsApp.

We were very pleased with Zicasso’s travel specialist. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and always available to answer our questions.
