Ireland Tour Review: Belfast, Derry, Donegal, Giant's Causeway, Titanic Experience, Walking Tour, 8 Nights

Overall, our trip was fantastic. The few glitches related more to the lack of follow-through by hotels or tour companies, not the Zicasso travel specialists' booking efforts.

Ireland Anniversary Vacation Review: Cork, Food Tour, 17 Days

We had a fabulous trip to Ireland to celebrate our 45 years of marriage. The trip was beyond our expectations. Working with Zicasso's travel company and the team was a pleasure. They were very professional and responsive to any questions we had. The driver was also great! We enjoyed traveling with him as he showed us parts of Ireland that we would have never found on our own. He was entertaining and we had a lot of laughs with him.

The accommodations were exceptional and all the details of the trip had been taken care of.

Thank you for helping make this dream trip a reality and creating wonderful memories!

Ireland Tour Review: Galway, Food Tour, Horse Riding, Sheep Herding, 1 Week

The trip could not have been better! Our driver set the tone for the trip. He was outstanding. A superb driver, he also explained much about Irish culture and traditions, as well as the history of different areas and structures.

The agenda laid out by Zicasso's tour company was perfect, as were the hotels we stayed in! I had insisted on staying at a castle hotel in Ireland, which turned out to be wonderful. The tour company might consider that as an option for some travelers, as it has a lot to offer for families, as well as individual travelers.

The Irish dancing show was a perfect ending to a perfect Irish adventure.
