Spain Tour for Seniors Looking to Travel in March

The trip was lovely, but our itinerary was too busy. We’re seniors and enjoy downtime each day. Some of the trips with drivers were too long. Our hotel in Barcelona was very nice with great food. The hotel in Seville was disappointing. The concept of Zicasso is good, but age-appropriate planning would be an improvement.

Our group of five ladies recently returned from a wonderful 10-day trip to Spain, visiting Madrid, Seville, and Málaga. From the very beginning, working with Zicasso’s travel specialists made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.

During the planning stages, our travel specialist was outstanding. We had several phone calls and exchanged numerous emails, and he always listened carefully to my suggestions, while offering thoughtful recommendations of his own. Together, we created a customized itinerary that perfectly suited our group. Highlights included the flamenco show, guided tours of Madrid, Triana, Málaga, the Alhambra, and the Real Alcazar in Seville.

All of our tour guides were local, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and culinary traditions of their cities. We particularly enjoyed our time in Triana with a local guide and our tour in Madrid with another local guide. Their insights and enthusiasm made our experiences even more memorable.

The logistics throughout the trip were excellent. Every transfer between airports, hotels, and train stations was punctual and professionally handled. Our drivers were always on time, courteous, and reliable.

The hotels selected for us were beautiful, comfortable, and conveniently located. The standout was our hotel in Málaga, which was absolutely stunning. We also appreciated the excellent breakfast options at each property. An added convenience was that every hotel allowed us to check in early, something our group greatly appreciated after traveling.

Throughout the trip, our travel specialists remained in close communication with us and were always responsive to any questions or requests. Our specialist consistently provided advance information regarding our guides and meeting locations, which made everything easy and stress-free. When our train from Málaga to Madrid was rescheduled to an earlier departure time, she promptly notified us, sent updated tickets, and arranged an earlier hotel pick-up, ensuring that everything went smoothly.

The level of stress that often accompanies international travel was significantly reduced thanks to the professionalism, organization, and attention to detail provided by the travel specialists. It was truly a pleasure working with them and their dedication ensured that every aspect of our trip ran smoothly.

We would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone planning a trip to Spain. They helped create a memorable experience that our group will cherish for years to come.

The owners of Zicasso’s tour company were amazing from start to finish. They curated a custom trip for us to Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Málaga, Toledo, and Granada. They listened to our requests and came up with a brilliant itinerary that included personal drivers, hotels, dining recommendations, and tour guides. They were also so quick to respond to our questions and pivot our plans when needed. This was a very special 30th-anniversary trip for us and they knocked it out of the park.

The custom trip and itinerary were developed by Zicasso’s travel company and they made numerous recommendations for exploring, starting in Spain, in Madrid, and continuing down to numerous Andalusian cities, including Seville, Granada, Gibraltar, Málaga, and Córdoba.

Not only was the itinerary prepared with great detail and consideration, but every effort was taken to ensure the lodging requested met five-star requirements. Drivers and guides were assigned to us at all of our destinations, and this included airport arrivals and departures. Drivers and guides were not only punctual, they were personable and extremely knowledgeable, with decades of experience.

Our trip continued to Morocco, where we flew into Casablanca from Málaga. Again, airport connections were perfect and we had VIP arrival service on landing. Our driver and guide were aligned with us for the week we spent between Oualidia and Marrakech. Lodging was exceptional and our expectations were certainly exceeded.

Furthermore, the travel company made it a point to communicate with us openly over WhatsApp, answering the few questions we had in a prompt manner and checking in with us throughout the trip.

This is the first time I have 100% used a travel company and I could not have been more pleased with the delivery of the trip and the overall cost.

Zicasso’s travel agent and her team made our entire trip seamless! We had the best time and were able to enjoy many sights and activities with the help of the travel company! We requested a whirlwind tour of Spain and they came up with the perfect itinerary for us. In each city, we were greeted by extremely knowledgeable and friendly tour guides and excellent, clean, and centrally located lodging.

I would not hesitate to recommend this tour company to any friends traveling to Spain (or Portugal). A few highlights that I would suggest others include for future trips:

We were fortunate enough to visit Valencia during the Fallas celebration in March—this was so much fun to see and be a part of! Even though we were there a week before the primary celebration, the city was still alive with excitement!

Sagrada Familia was amazing, but we also really loved seeing Park Güell—another Gaudí creation. Thanks to the travel specialist and her team, we didn't miss anything!

We loved our day tour from Barcelona to Montserrat and the winery—it was nice to get out into the country for a day.

The motorcycle with sidecar tour was so much fun! That wasn't even on my radar as an activity to request and I'm so glad it was added to our itinerary!

Thank you to the travel team for an amazing 12-day adventure in Spain!

This was our third time utilizing Zicasso for an international trip. For our Spain vacation, Zicasso provided two solid choices and we chose this tour operator. The travel specialists were excellent to work with and we spent almost a year with them planning.

After an initial itinerary, we didn't have much to change and they provided us with multiple choices to pick from each day before deciding on a final plan. We had some personal complications, but the team was very accommodating and willing to update our plans as needed.

We had two home bases in Seville and Málaga. Both hotels were in excellent locations, each within walking distance to many restaurants, bars, and shops. The guided tours they recommended all were excellent and provided great history of each town visited, as well as Spain in general. We appreciated everything the team did for us and would highly recommend them to others.
