Italy Vacation Review: 12 Days

It was a fantastic trip. Everything we planned with Zicasso’s travel company was on time and with high-quality local guides and drivers. They were very responsive and helped us build an itinerary for our 12-day trip to southern Italy. They stayed in touch throughout the planning process, helping us find restaurants and answer questions. I would highly recommend this travel company to anyone planning a trip to Italy.

Spain, Morocco Trip Review: Madrid, Seville, Granada, Gibraltar, Malaga, Cordoba, Casablanca, Oualidia, Marrakech, Tapas Tour, 17 Days

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.

The trip was wonderful! Zicasso’s travel specialist planned an excellent itinerary. We enjoyed all our tours, many of which we would not have done if we planned our trip on our own. This is the first time we have used a travel agent and because of our good experience, we will use one again.

If you are looking for a travel agency that truly delivers, I can’t recommend Zicasso’s travel company enough. They were a huge help in creating our itinerary and the entire trip ended up being very good value.

Turkey Trip Review: Istanbul, Cappadocia, 5 Nights

Our journey through Istanbul and Cappadocia with Zicasso’s travel company was truly exceptional—one of those rare travel experiences where everything comes together with ease, depth, and meaning.

From the very beginning, the planning was thoughtful and responsive, and once we arrived, every detail unfolded seamlessly. The itinerary struck a perfect balance between structure and flexibility, allowing us to explore deeply, while still feeling relaxed and present in each moment.

What made this trip especially memorable were our two outstanding guides—our guides in Istanbul and our guide in Cappadocia. Their deep knowledge of history, culture, and local context brought each site to life in a way that no guidebook could. Even more impressive was their genuine enthusiasm and willingness to engage with our questions, creating rich, meaningful conversations throughout the journey.

Behind this seamless experience was an exceptional team. We would like to especially recognize the company’s owner and his trusted partner in Turkey. Their leadership, coordination, and commitment to excellence were clearly reflected in every detail of our trip.

We also want to extend our appreciation to the entire support team—the professional drivers and the airport staff who welcomed us with name signs and ensured smooth, effortless transitions from airport to hotel and between destinations. These thoughtful touches made us feel well cared for at every step of the journey.

While our hot-air balloon ride in Cappadocia was unfortunately canceled due to weather, the situation was handled with clarity and professionalism. In hindsight, it simply gives us a perfect reason to return.

If there is one thing we would do differently, it would be to stay longer.

We wholeheartedly recommend the travel company to anyone seeking a well-curated, enriching, and truly memorable journey.
