Spain Vacations in July

Our travel agency's expertise, organization and guidance of our tour of Spain was exceptional. This travel planner is a great listener and thoroughly reviewed our profile to tailor the trip to our specific interests: architecture, museums and gastronomy. We traveled to Barcelona, San Sebastian, Madrid, Sevilla, and different towns in Andalucía. In addition to fantastic walking, museum and food tours (Tapas, Pintxos and Txakoli), Our travel planner arranged day trips to Dali Museum (Figueres), Bilbo Guggenheim, Toledo, Cordoba, and Granada. Our tour guides were all local, certified guides with expertise in art history, Spain’s history and local foods.  The guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They freely offered suggestions for dinner and activities on our free day in each city.  Our travel planner encouraged us to self-drive from Sevilla to the Costa del Sol region. Our drive through the mountains was spectacular with acres of sunflowers and beautiful white villages.  We stopped in Ronda and spent the afternoon exploring the city with its breath-taking ravines and gorge spanning bridges.  We would not be able to self-drive without this travel agency loaning us their Wi-Fi Away device that allowed us to use Google Maps to guide us to various places.  In addition, he emailed us our detailed itinerary with times, guides’ name, and description of our activities. At our first hotel, we found our full travel package neatly organized with several envelopes containing our train/plane tickets, maps for each city and side trips, restaurant suggestions by city/town and another copy of our itinerary. Our travel planner kept in contract via text to welcome us and gentle reminders to bring our passports to Alhambra. He was available to us 24/7 as he was during our planning process. People inquire “What was your favorite city or place?” and we can’t pick just one:  it is like asking which of your children do you love the most.  We are already thinking about where to travel next with this travel agency, perhaps back to Spain and on to Portugal or Morocco. Thank you again to our travel planner and your entire staff for an unforgettable trip.

Wow, just wow! This 26-day trip through Spain was absolutely fantastic. While the process of planning a trip can be overwhelming, it was made easy with the assistance of Zicasso and the travel company. The travel agent really listened to what I wanted to see and do, and came up with a perfectly paced itinerary that included Madrid (day trip to Toledo), Sevilla (day trip to Ronda), Granada (a visit to Córdoba along the way), Barcelona, San Sebastián (and small villages), and Bilbao, with day trips to small villages and the La Rioja wine region.

We had a nice combination of planes, trains, and automobiles traveling across Spain. Our private guides were all very knowledgeable, engaging, and very enjoyable. Our drivers were on time, meeting us at airports and our hotels.

The hotels they picked for us were all wonderful, centrally located in the cities and within walking distance of all of the things we wanted to do.

Our agent was very responsive to all of my questions prior to the trip and we received a beautiful layout of the itinerary, which not only gave dates/times of each activity, but also a history of what we were seeing. We also received a list of recommended restaurants for each town we visited (which we used a couple of times).

The entire team at the agency was wonderful and available 24/7 while we were in country. Thankfully, the trip ran so smoothly that I only reached out to them a couple of times to let them know what a great time we were having. I would definitely recommend working with this team if you are planning a trip to Spain!

Wonderful trip, well designed with informative guides and drivers, In between tours at the Prado and The Royal Palace, we were able to spend time alone exploring Madrid. We traveled to Toledo, Sevilla, Ronda, Granada and then to Marbella for several days at the end of our trip.
