This was one amazing trip. This was very well put together. Zicasso’s travel company was very responsive to all our needs when we planned our trip together. They also responded to all our questions when we had questions about the itinerary. The app with all of the information in one location was amazing. Guides at each of the locations were amazing, with wonderful explanations. We didn't have one bad experience during the whole trip. This was a trip that was a celebration of a milestone birthday, so I am extremely happy that this was planned so well. We strongly recommend this company and will choose to go with them for our future trips!

Oh my goodness, everything was so well done! There was not one moment of uncertainty. From the moment we landed off the plane, our very helpful, friendly driver/guide was there to assist. We had a total of three tour guides all week and each one of them was professional, friendly and fun! They were incredibly knowledgeable as they shared their true love for their country. The tours were well planned, thought out, and executed. We never felt scattered. We felt relaxed and knew we were in very capable hands.
The accommodations were perfectly located, close to everything, but not in the middle of it. We could not be more pleased with literally everything. Well done!!!

Zicasso’s travel agent did a fantastic job. We had so much fun. The guides for our trip were very knowledgeable. Both my son and I wanted to understand the history in-depth of what we were seeing; the guides were able to do that. Everyone who was to meet us was on time. The restaurants the travel agent recommended were outstanding. The hotels were well located. In this age of internet travel booking, I am sold again on the great value a knowledgeable and thoughtful travel agent can provide.

Our trip exceeded our expectations! Zicasso’s travel agent really listened to what we were interested in seeing and doing. He put together a great itinerary, with a balance of guided/planned activities and unscheduled time because we like to explore on our own sometimes.
All of the hotels were beautiful, ideally located, and had attentive staff.
Whenever we had a question or concern before or during the trip, our travel specialist was very responsive and helpful. It was our first visit to Spain and thanks to the travel company, it was stress-free and wonderful. We highly recommend!
