Scotland Vacation Review: Stirling, Loch Ness, Fort Augustus Locks, Castles, Scenery, Driver, 1 Week

The planning process was fun and easy. Zicasso’s travel specialist was incredibly patient with us and put together a marvelous trip in a very short amount of time, during the height of the travel season. We covered hundreds of miles with our driver, an all-around showman and entertainer. We saw beautiful scenery, stepped back in time, experienced culture, and, most importantly, had a lot of laughs.

Scotland, Ireland Trip Review: Highlands, Edinburgh, Dublin, Cliffs of Moher, 9 Days

Zicasso's travel company did an excellent job planning my trip to Scotland and Ireland with my college friend. I chatted with our travel specialist about what we would like to do and our interests, and she customized a trip for us. We did not want to be part of a tour group of 20+ people. We preferred a more personalized experience.

The hotels were immaculate, with a great variety at breakfast and attentive staff. The tours and excursions were amazing, with extremely personable and knowledgeable guides. There was a great balance of tours, excursions, and free time to explore. All the details were compiled in a binder, with additional information to help us along the way. The attention to detail made our experience so much better.

Scotland, Ireland Tour Review: 2 Weeks

Zicasso's travel specialist was great to work with in designing our trip. She took the time to understand what was important to us. We went through a number of iterations and she always had wonderful ideas and suggestions, allowing us to design our dream vacation. Another team member was also awesome to work with, making sure everything was executed as planned.

When I developed some issues with my hip a month before our travel, she worked with the hotels, drivers, and tour guides to assist with my limited abilities. The communication was always very responsive. There were no travel issues. Everything happened as planned.

Ireland Trip Review: 10 Days

The entire trip went smoothly and was exceptional, as the daily plans, including hotels, places to visit, and the local guides, were very satisfactory and met the expectations of high-end travelers such as us. Great trip organized by Zicasso's travel specialist, and constant communication with us during the entire trip by another member of the travel company's team (while the travel specialist was on leave) was just great, with every detail planned out and executed very well.
