My trip to Portugal was absolutely amazing. Zicasso’s travel company went above and beyond my expectations. The itinerary was amazing and all the guides were incredible. Everything was on time, the accommodations they booked were five-star and in great locations, and enough time was built in for me to be able to explore on my own. I feel the cost was well worth the value. Should I ever go back to Portugal, I would certainly use this travel company again, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a great experience on a Portugal vacation.

We enjoyed a relaxing trip to Portugal in December 2025. Zicasso’s travel company and their team were awesome, very present, tailored the trip based on our needs, and we got to explore much of the country, given the time of the year. The itinerary suggested was wholesome, relaxing, and covered most of the sights and sounds. I would highly recommend them to friends and family.

I cannot say enough about this trip and Zicasso’s travel specialist. She helped plan a wonderful itinerary for us that we all enjoyed. Everything we wanted to see and do was accommodated. The guides we had were superb. We had a problem with the airline losing our luggage,and she was more than helpful in assisting us, as well as modifying our itinerary to accommodate our need to shop for clothing and attempt to get in touch with the airline. They were prompt in their responses.

As stated, our guides were wonderful. They were with us on multiple days and their knowledge was first-rate. They were fun as well.

I would not hesitate to use this company again and highly recommend them.
