Galapagos Islands and Ecuador Travel Guide

The trip was wonderful and everything our Zicasso travel specialist arranged went without a hitch. She did a wonderful job planning where to go to give us a feel for the countries, given the short week she had to do it in. The guides were almost to a tee wonderful: well informed, interesting, friendly, and amiable. All the drivers were reliable and helpful, and arrived at our meeting places on time.

The trip was fabulous. The only negative was the heat and I don't think you control that. We had a few small hiccups, but the support team was on top of them each time. Very professional and on top of things.

We had five guides on this trip and each was fantastic. Our guides in London, France, and Italy were all wonderful. Their English was good and their stories and context were wonderful.

The hotels were good. We all liked the one in Rome the best, but all were good.

My family had a fabulous time and I would recommend Zicasso's travel company highly and use them in the future.

We loved the travel company. Our Zicasso travel specialist planned an excellent trip!

We cannot recommend Zicasso's travel company enough!! Our family just got back from a two-week trip to Italy (starting in Venice, then Florence, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast). Our travel specialists did an incredible job planning our trip and it was an experience of a lifetime!! We had the best time in every city!

Everything was seamless, from the events and tours we had planned to the transportation from city to city. What we loved most was how our tour guides were all natives of the areas we were visiting, so they offered unique perspectives on every part of Italy. Also, our travel specialists, being local to Italy, helped us plan some really special things to do (walking wine-window tour, bike ride in Tuscany, boat taxi to Burano to visit the small town where lace is still being made, and a Capri boat tour). All of our guides were English-speaking and absolutely wonderful!

We had frequent communication with our travel specialists regarding scheduled plans and if we had questions, they were readily available via WhatsApp.

I also turned 55 while on vacation and our travel specialists were kind enough to send Prosecco, wine, and some wonderful Italian snacks to our room. This was, by far, the best family vacation we have ever taken and we will definitely be vacationing with them in the future. If you're considering vacationing with this travel company, don't hesitate! They are fabulous and leave no stone unturned to make sure you have the best experience possible!!!

The guides were wonderful. They were really more like cultural ambassadors. They really made a difference, not just in terms of smooth logistics, but in understanding the culture and context.

The first hotel was also amazing! It was just what I needed after a long, long work slog.

We had an amazing time on our travels from Paris to the D-Day beaches of Normandy, Mont-Saint-Michel, Saint-Malo, and the Loire Valley. Our Zicasso travel specialist was an excellent communicator and adjusted quickly when the heat wave in Paris resulted in a couple of changes to our itinerary. We felt very well supported throughout our trip.
