This was a perfect Portuguese getaway, thanks to Zicasso's travel designer and the travel company!
I can’t say enough good things about our experience with her and the travel company. From the moment we reached out with just the idea of visiting Portugal, it was clear we were in excellent hands. She and her team went above and beyond to provide personal attention that made all the difference.
What stood out most was how genuinely she listened to what we wanted. Every suggestion felt handpicked for us—from charming hotels in Lisbon and Porto to incredible jeep tours in the Azores to a one-of-a-kind personal wine tasting in the Douro Valley that we never would have discovered on our own. Her knowledge of Portugal is unmatched and you can tell she is passionate about sharing the real Portugal with their clients.
Despite the high level of service, everything was surprisingly affordable. We got tremendous value without ever feeling like corners were being cut. It’s rare to find a company that balances quality and cost so well, but Zicasso's travel designer has struck that perfect balance.
This wasn’t just a trip—it was an experience we’ll remember forever. If you're considering a trip to Portugal, don't waste time trying to figure it out on your own. Let her and her team take care of it—you’ll be so glad you did!

We have just returned from our two-week trip to Portugal. This was the first time we've ever used an agency to help us plan a trip and we are hooked! Just having the ease of mind that everything was booked, planned, and paid for before we left was such a load off our shoulders.
In regard to the travel specialists with Zicasso's travel company, we couldn't be happier with how they handled every little detail! They made us feel like we were their friends and not just clients. The agent was straightforward with her opinions when we had questions, sharing her vast knowledge of the country, and together we came up with an amazing itinerary.

My husband and I recently visited Croatia and Montenegro for two weeks. Our experience with the travel company and specifically our travel specialist far surpassed our expectations. We wanted to visit national parks and several islands, as well as the old towns of Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik. He was able to coordinate all we wanted to see, with limited moving around from hotel to hotel, so we didn't feel rushed. When we needed to make a couple of adjustments to our daily schedule, it was changed effortlessly.
We have been on several trips through Zicasso and the most impressive thing that sets our travel specialist apart from other travel specialists we've encountered is that he was in communication with us daily to make sure our trip was flawless. I'm looking forward to visiting Croatia again and our travel specialist will definitely be the one setting up another trip for us. Thank you again!!

This was the trip of a lifetime! We can't recommend Zicasso's travel designer and her team highly enough. The hotels, tour guides, and drivers she selected for us were all fantastic. We look forward to working with her upon our return to Italy, which we hope will be sooner rather than later. Don't hesitate to contact her!

Zicasso's travel company was wonderful to work with and super-responsive. Our trip ticked all of the boxes; small island to large, relaxation and history, restful boutique hotels to our personalized stay on an olive farm.
