This review is long overdue, but better late than never! Zicasso’s travel agent helped us plan our South African adventure and it was the perfect vacation. Everything went completely flawlessly and all the accommodations were fantastic. The communication and service she provided were excellent and I just wish she was the person who could plan all of our vacations. We did Cape Town, Kruger, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, and it was the ultimate bucket-list trip. Her plan made it the best vacation ever!!!

Overall, this was an exceptionally well-planned and unforgettable trip! Zicasso’s travel specialist did a phenomenal job planning my group trip through South Africa, Mozambique, Mauritius, and Zimbabwe. From the very beginning, the travel specialist listened carefully to my must-haves and worked diligently to craft the itinerary I envisioned. I’m a very vocal person about what I want and she showed incredible patience and professionalism throughout the process. She refined the itinerary until it perfectly matched my expectations, never losing sight of the details that mattered most to me. Planning a group trip is no small task and she handled every concern, whether rooming adjustments or my frequent emails, with grace and efficiency.
One of the qualities I value most in a travel advisor is responsiveness and she excelled here. She was consistently on top of things, keeping me updated at every stage. Even when certain things took longer than expected, she communicated, which I greatly appreciated. Her advice and feedback throughout the planning process were invaluable.
Having organized group trips for my friends for over eight years, I can confidently say she went above and beyond compared to most other advisors I’ve worked with. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made this experience seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend our travel specialist and the travel company. They truly set the standard for excellence in travel planning.
