Ireland Tour Review: Off-the-Beaten-Path Sites, History,...

This was our first time booking a trip through Zicasso and we were very happy with the experience. We were connected with an exceptional agent in Ireland who knew all the great, off-the-beaten-path sites. Our accommodations were beyond our expectations. Each driver we had was friendly and knowledgeable.

Spain Trip Review: Girona, Tapas Tour, Dali Museum, Local...

The trip was fantastic. Everything that was scheduled was well planned, with excellent tour guides, communication with the guides, as well as travel agents live during the trip. The experience was five-star and we could tell that the way it was booked through Zicasso was better for the guides themselves versus how others in our group had booked (ie, through other agencies). There were fewer obstacles, complications, and issues with the booking. We could tell this through our tour guides, as they were more comfortable and knowledgeable about our requests and needs.

Tickets were all organized and either sent to us through PDF or to our tour guides. The off days were were well placed during the week and our requests were more than satisfied.

Zimbabwe, Botswana Birthday Travel Review: 9-Day Trip

Our special trip surpassed all of our expectations!

We had a large group wanting to go on safari and started planning around a year in advance. We also had small children coming with us and we were celebrating a milestone birthday! My first call was with Zicasso’s travel agent, who had the best enthusiasm and confidence in delivering what we wanted. The other travel partner was my main point of contact afterwards and she probably ended up answering at least 10,000 questions for me!

Each moment of the trip was specially curated and special. They did a great job finding camps that would give us a unique experience rather than becoming redundant. The hospitality at the camps and accommodations were unique and comfortable. We were all so happy with how everything went! We would definitely use this travel company again for our travel needs!

Namibia, South Africa Birthday Trip Review: 18 Nights

This was a well-planned trip that was personally rewarding and fulfilling.

This trip provided a great balance of the diverse locations from both countries (Namibia and South Africa).

I chose Zicasso as, at this stage of life, when taking well-deserved vacations, I just want to pay, pack, show up and have everything (accommodations, transportation, domestic and international flights, tours, attention to safety, and additional recommendations) accounted for. And that is exactly what the Zicasso's travel expert provided via her tour agency.

I was able to share my must-haves/nice-to-haves and she customized a vacation package that tended to every detail. It was a wonderful balance of rustic and luxury. It was also our July “birthdaycation” for my aunt and me, and we were surprised at multiple locations with surprise birthday acknowledgements. Birthdays are very special to me, so this was a major “icing” on the cake for me on this vacation.

Although there was a minor “hiccup” on the day of arrival, the travel specialist's “on-the-ground” (local) staff pivoted and quickly and professionally found another option for us for our airport pickup. This shows the mark of a company interested in ensuring the complete satisfaction of their clients.

For the destinations the travel expert specializes in, they will be my first point of contact when looking to make my next vacation destination.

Well done!

United Kingdom Trip Review: London, Soho, Buckingham Palace,...

My United Kingdom trip by Zicasso's tour operator was definitely one to remember. I loved everything about this trip. From my hotel stay to the various activities planned and suggestions/recommendations for where to eat, no stones were left unturned. Our travel designer made sure I was taken care of. She was so thorough in her planning that everything went smoothly.

One of the highlights was the Soho street food tour. Just the energy alone was great. The food was amazing and the people were great. I loved the Buckingham Palace tour, the Kensington Palace tour, and afternoon tea. It was a great trip all around.

Book your next trip with this travel professional for your next UK travels. You will not regret it. I sure did not and am so happy I did!

Indonesia Birthday Travel Review: Bali, Yoga, Floating Food...

Our recent trip to Bali was absolutely unforgettable and we owe it all to the incredible team that helped make it such a smooth and joyful experience. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed.

A huge thank you to our amazing Zicasso travel agent, who made coordinating a group of 11 people look easy. She ensured every detail was in place and helped us feel at ease throughout the entire process.

We were also fortunate to have our guide. His knowledge, warmth, and professionalism made each activity even more meaningful. And a big shoutout to our drivers for getting us everywhere safely and comfortably, with patience and smiles.

The activities were perfectly curated, from a beautiful birthday dinner celebration to yoga, the floral happy birthday message, the floating breakfast, and so much more; even the small, magical moments that were beautifully captured by the photographers who our travel agent arranged.

Every venue we visited went above and beyond to accommodate our group, and we felt genuinely welcomed everywhere we went. This was truly the trip of a lifetime and we’re incredibly grateful to our travel agent, guide, and drivers for making it such a success. We all had an amazing time and I would 100% recommend this team to anyone planning a visit to Bali.

Five stars all the way!
