Our Spain Travel Specialists

The trip itinerary and guides provided in Barcelona, Porto, the Duoro Valley, and Madrid were excellent. They were very knowledgeable, professional and personable, and spoke excellent English.
Most of the drivers were very good, but we were surprised that some of them did not provide bottled water for half-day tours (we had to ask and stop to buy it). This was a minor nuisance, but given the price of tours and previous experiences, a simple expectation, as well as having the car cooled down and AC on during hot days when being picked up.​
The tour manager did an outstanding job overall, but could have improved on some specific requests that seemed to be either forgotten or missed regarding an electric scooter/wheelchair we rented that caused some issues during pick-up and drop-off. Otherwise, working with her was a very good experience.

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.

We enjoyed the trip. The guides were good, although our guide in Lisbon provided a little bit too much history. But he was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed his tours. The communication with the Zicasso company through WhatsApp was very good and they were very accommodating to upgrading our transport vehicle because our luggage was large. The food tours were good. We enjoyed all the sites that we saw. Barcelona, especially, was great.
We stayed at four hotels. Only the hotel in Porto was a disappointment. The other hotels were good and we were very comfortable. The breakfast that was served at the various accommodations varied in quality, but the breakfast buffet in Lisbon was extremely good. The hotel in Porto was definitely not a four-star facility. The local airline definitely does not have its act together. When we left Barcelona to come home, the line for the airline was about five or six times the length of every other line. I would have definitely been willing to pay a higher amount for a business class seat in order to use the very short line in the Porto airport.

Zicasso's travel specialists did a great job for us. They clearly listened to us and curated an experience that was made specifically for us. It checked all of the boxes and more.
Highlights were the local tour guides in each city. It was great to meet and get to know local people, learn so much history, see the architecture (Gaudí in Barcelona and the awesome palaces and cathedrals that we visited), the Montserrat hike, Caminito del Rey (which was absolutely better with a guide), and the Marbella e-bike adventure.
The hotels were wonderful; all unique and all great choices. We came home happy and tired, which is the sign of a good trip for us (since we do not ever sit on beaches or at pools and relax!).

From beginning to end, Zicasso's travel experts took great care in taking care of everything. We received great communication, guides, hotels, transportation, suggestions, etc, and they were reliable before and during our trip

I’ve been using Zicasso to plan my vacations for nearly a decade and they consistently work with top-tier travel specialists who deliver unforgettable experiences. My recent trip was no exception—in fact, they exceeded my expectations at every turn.
From our very first conversation, the travel specialist listened attentively to what we wanted in terms of experiences, accommodations, guides, and pacing. He carefully crafted an itinerary that truly felt like the trip of a lifetime.
One highlight was a romantic surprise I asked him to arrange for my fiancée and me. What he delivered was absolutely magical: we were picked up in a horse-drawn carriage for an enchanting tour of Sevilla, treated to a private flamenco performance, and then enjoyed a romantic dinner for two as the sun set over the Guadalquivir River. It was unforgettable.
The travel specialist's expertise shone throughout the trip, especially in his choice of guides. Each one brought the destinations to life with engaging stories and deep local knowledge—not just dry facts. Every day brought a new highlight: from food and sherry tours to a hands-on cooking class and even crafting our own alpargatas. The pace was perfect—immersive experiences balanced with plenty of downtime to explore on our own.
The logistics were flawless. Every transfer was smooth and on time—we never had to worry about missing a connection or being left stranded. And anytime we had a question or needed support, the travel company was readily available.
In short, the travel specialist and his team created the perfect Spanish getaway. When we return to explore Portugal and northern Spain, I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.
Once again, Zicasso proved why they’re the best in the business—partnering with only the highest quality travel experts in each region.

We had a very good pre-trip dynamic with Zicasso's tour agency: positive, constructive, genuine, and open. Very responsive. Very good teamwork. Very efficient.
After the experience, you could tell they truly listened to how we like to travel in terms of everything: pacing, hotels, guides, activities, and quality of local providers.
They know the area and also hold a good/solid network of providers in the area.
There was an "open line of communication with them the whole time through a simple solution (WhatsApp chat).
Their recommendations and reservations were totally on target (food). The guides were very professional. We wanted to take advantage of every day and they made us go to bed really tired (which is a good thing).

Zicasso's trip planner was very helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend him.
