Scotland, Ireland Trip Review: Kelpies, Knowth, Newgrange, Ring of Kerry, 6 Nights

All logistics were beautifully organized by Zicasso's travel specialist. Drivers, guides, and hotels were exceptional. We even had to pivot due to inclement weather. Our travel specialist was very responsive and made sure we had plenty of options. Five stars!!!!!

Ireland, Scotland Travel Review: Golf, Castles, Animals, 2 Weeks

We had a fun trip. I can't say enough good things about Zicasso's travel company. Zicasso's travel specialist went out of his way for us on multiple occasions.

The drivers that they booked for us were excellent, and the experiences and places we visited were amazing. I would highly recommend our travel company to anyone who wants to take a trip of a lifetime.

Ireland Trip Review: Newgrange, Dingle, Kinsale, Countryside, 2 Weeks

We had a marvelous time on our trip to Ireland. Even the weather was unusually good for October, although Zicasso's travel company can't take credit for that.

In setting up our trip, our travel company had to coordinate half a dozen hotels in half a dozen cities, and arrange drivers, tour guides, admission tickets, and so forth for multiple events. Except for one minor miscommunication about where to meet one guide, all of this took place flawlessly over a span of two weeks. When there were last-minute changes to our itinerary, we were notified of them promptly.

We were extremely pleased with the job our travel company did, and will certainly consider them for future travel plans. Thank you so much!

Scotland, Ireland Tour Review: Highlands, Cliffs of Moher, 11 Nights

Zicasso's travel company was awesome to work with, and their itinerary was absolutely great. We spoke with them numerous times to put it together, and it all worked out splendid.

The booklet they send you prior to your departure has everything you need to make the trip perfect. I would definitely recommend using them and will use them again if we get the opportunity to travel back to Scotland or Ireland.

Our trip exceeded our expectations!

This is due in large part to the professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge, and genuine passion for Ireland that our Zicasso travel executive shared with us. Every day was thoughtfully planned, the sights were spectacular, and she tailored our itinerary to our interests and abilities.
