Portugal Tour Review: Lisbon, Lagos, Jewelry Making, Bengali Caves, 1 Week

This trip was fantastic! My husband and I, along with my three daughters in their 20s, had the best time. Planning with Zicasso's travel expert was easy. She was quick to respond to emails, texts and calls before and during the trip.

We wanted some unique experiences, like making Portuguese filigree jewelry, and she found a great place for us! The hotels she selected were perfect for our larger group.

Portugal Multigenerational Trip Review: Douro Valley, Lisbon, Largos, Winery, Bike Tours, Boat Rides, 8 Nights

The trip was a fantastic introduction to Portugal and a great mix of history, activities, and relaxing.

We had three generations of family members on the trip, with a wide range of interests and dietary needs. Zicasso's travel company did an amazing job guiding us every day and accommodating last-minute changes. Each of the guides were very knowledgeable about the area and history, and flexible to our needs.

Portugal, Spain Tour Review: Porto, Cangas de Onis, Sidecar Tour, History, 10 Days

The planning experience was wonderful overall. From the initial conversation about what my family was looking for to the final touches to the itinerary, Zicasso's travel expert was engaging, responsive, and helpful.

The accommodations he selected for us exceeded expectations; they were spacious, beautiful, and well-located. The tours/activities suggested were really fun and gave us a sense of the locale in a unique and memorable way that fit our family well. Once we were in-country, communications were easy and helpful. We felt very well cared for.

Payment to our travel company was easy and it was a real pleasure once we were in-country to have all the identified items already paid for. I would definitely book a trip with them again.
