Why should I use travel companies to plan and book my trip?

Zicasso’s pre-screened travel companies, with their local expertise, can advice you on the best Trip Plan for you: where to stay, what to do given your interests and budget, and then take care of booking everything you need. You get the entire Trip Planned and booked for you.

Additionally, travel companies can often get up to 20% better prices compared to hotel published or Internet published rates due to exclusive volume discounts. These are rates which hotels require to be unpublished so that they can continue to sell at the higher published rates. Or they can get you a room at a hotel that is supposedly “full” because rooms are often blocked out for travel company reservations only.

And finally, in many cases, having a great tour guide can really make a big difference in how you experience your trip. The best tour guides can explain everything you want to know about your destination—history, culture, architecture, nature, etc.—and act as an interpreter when you wish to converse with locals. But good tour guides are not easy to find. The best way to find and hire them is to use a travel company who specializes in that destination.
