Costa Rica Travel Review: 1 Week

Zicasso's travel company went above and beyond from the planning through the completion of our journey. If it were possible to rate them with six stars or more, we would do that! Our questions and messages were answered promptly and thoroughly. Our accommodations were marvelous.

We had a list of almost 50 full- and half-day adventures from which to choose the four adventures our schedule allowed. This was the most challenging part of our planning. The wide variety of adventures permitted everyone in our group of six to pursue their personal interests and select the appropriate activity level for their ability.

I would love to travel with this company again.

Costa Rica Trip Review: Scenery, 2 Weeks

Zicasso's travel specialist gave us good service during the planning stage.

The hotels were perfect and the guided tours were professional. The transportation wasn’t so good.

Costa Rica Vacation Review: Arenal, Wildlife, Photo Opportunities, Private Driver, 12 Nights

We celebrated my daughter's high school graduation with a 12-day trip to Costa Rica. I interviewed several local travel agencies and fell in love with Zicasso's tour company from the very first phone conversation. The owner was fantastic to work with, helping me craft the perfect adventure-filled, action-packed vacation for my family. He was honest and took the time to listen to our preferences. He provided great feedback and suggestions.

Prior to our trip, I felt very confident that I was in good hands and knew that every detail was taken care of. During our trip, the company owner checked in with me several times to make sure everything was ok. Unfortunately, someone in my family had to go home early and he was so helpful in coordinating an extra trip to the airport to accommodate our family needs (it required an extra nine hours of driving and a hotel stay for the driver).

The company owner and our agent were generous enough to not charge me for this extra trip. They even canceled all the hotel and activity reservations for that family member, and I received a refund at the end of my trip! It truly was a trip of a lifetime. I found myself thinking, I wish there was a travel company like this for every country because I would use them again to plan my next vacation, wherever it may be!

I also want to give a special shoutout to my driver, who drove my family on several long road trips during our vacation. During our drives, he would spot many interesting animals and birds, and stop on the side of the road so we could get out and get great pictures. Some of my best close-up opportunities to look at animals occurred while in the car. He talked about the agriculture, the school system, and the different rainforests. He even bought plantain chips from the side of the road and shared them with my family. Even though his job was to drive us from point A to point B, I felt his knowledge and his ability to spot animals was better than many of the tour guides we had on the trip. He really cared about Costa Rica and was excited to show us all it had to offer.

I highly recommend this travel company. And ask for our driver to drive you around; you won't be disappointed.
