Unique Wellness and Culinary Tour of Spain

We recently did an 8-day trip to Spain to visit our daughter who was studying in Granada. We had never been to Spain, so we needed a travel agent to help us with the details for our trip. Through Zicasso we were put in contact with our trip planner. Our planner called us one morning and listened to all the details regarding our trip such as where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see. Our planner sent us an initial itinerary for our trip which we reviewed and made some changes. Once we agreed upon the final itinerary, we made the payment and everything was set.

We started in Madrid for 2 days, then traveled to Granada for 2 more days. From there we spent a day in Cordoba and then ended in Seville. All the details were booked by the trip planner including hotels, tours and suggested places to eat and shop. Everything went according to plan and all necessary train tickets and museum tour information was included with the itinerary. The accommodations were great and we stayed in a lot of boutique hotels located within walking distance to everything we needed. All the tours were first rate with very knowledgeable tour guides at each destination. The food tour and Flamenco show that was booked for us in Seville was awesome.

We would definitely use Zicasso tours again in the future. Our trip planner was excellent to work with and she really knows what you need to see within each city.

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.   

BRAVO!!!

Our Spain tour coordinator deserves the the highest possible rating.  Our individual tours of Seville and Barcelona were informative, exciting, and avoiding any long lines. The guides were fantastic. Our accommodations were excellent. The schedule was plent but not too much. Our travel coordinator used an app to post our plans which was incredibly useful and helpful. 

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. 

Our travel agent did a fantastic job of curating our trip to Spain! My wife and I visited Barcelona, Granada, and Sevilla. From the start, Zicasso’s agent was always there, making sure the itinerary fit what we asked for and what we generally wanted to see and do! As first-time travelers to Spain, we were unfamiliar, and she delivered super options for us to consider. It definitely took the worry and hassle out of planning it ourselves!

When choices were not to our taste, our travel team promptly made adjustments or presented other options. Our agent also took care of a couple of internal travel arrangements – a flight and train from Granada to Sevilla – which saved me time searching and planning!

Our travel agent's tour partners in each place visited were also excellent! They were very knowledgeable and there were details and fun facts you would probably miss if you toured on your own. An outstanding trip overall. Thanks to our travel company!
