Italy Tour Review: Wine Tour, Cooking Classes, Local Cuisine,...

Zicasso’s travel company was wonderful in planning our trip on short notice and in line with our requests and preferences. Their suggestions of what to do and where to stay were perfect. And when we accidentally got off on the wrong island, the travel company quickly got us new ferry tickets to get to the right place. It was all seamless.

Ireland Tour Review: Kilkenny, Kinsale, Galway, Forty Foot,...

We had a wonderful trip. Everything was executed flawlessly, which made it so easy and relaxing for us. The hotels that were chosen were great. Our driver/guide was amazing and the perfect companion.

The only advice I would give is to include driving times on the itinerary so we would know how far things were from each other. But I would 100% recommend Zicasso's travel company to anyone traveling to Ireland. I can’t wait to go again!

Greece Vacation Review: Naxos, Food Tour, 4 Nights

I would give Zicasso's travel agency 10 stars if I could! Our travel specialist was fantastic. I connected with her through Zicasso and we had a conversation about what I had in mind for my trip to Greece. She made excellent suggestions, I did a little research on my own, then ended up following all her suggestions, and I'm so glad I did. She was very knowledgeable about Greece and helpful to me in creating the kind of trip I was looking for.

We stayed on the island of Naxos. The hotel was very nice. The excursions our specialist booked for us (a food tour of the island and an all-day boat tour) were just right. The transportation she arranged for us was great. And best of all, she was easily accessible via messaging and always helpful when I had a question or needed guidance or reassurance on any part of the trip.

I loved that she also followed up after our tours and checked in periodically to make sure everything was going well. I really appreciated knowing that I had someone I could reach out to if needed. I highly recommend our great travel agent and really appreciate how she made our trip to Greece go so smoothly.

Ecuador Trip Review: Wildlife, Cuisine, 11 Nights

Zicasso's travel expert did an excellent job coordinating all the details of our side trip to the Amazon and on to the Galápagos. This was our third trip arranged by Zicasso. Having the ability to talk with someone in the travel location about our interests and getting recommendations is a great experience.
