Turkey Multigenerational Travel Review: Istanbul, Cappadocia, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, Galata Tower, Topkapı Palace, Grand Bazaar, Spice Market, Food Tour, Bosphorus Cruise, Hot-Air Balloon Ride, 6 Nights

Great trip of six nights in Turkey, with three full days in Istanbul and two in Cappadocia. Zicasso’s travel specialist created an itinerary based upon my specifics for my 85-year-old father, 73-year-old mother, my wife and I (40s), and our two kids (8 and 11). She gave a couple of options for hotels and matched our budget. She was responsive and flexible.

Upon arrival in Turkey, we were met by our guide, who was our guide throughout the trip. All transportation was arranged in well-appointed and comfortable Mercedes Sprinter vans. Overall, our guide took care of all the logistics so we could really be very efficient in seeing many sights, learning about the culture, and experiencing the cuisine. We did the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, cisterns, several mosques, a food tour, the Galata Tower, Topkapi Palace, a Bosphorus cruise, the Grand Bazaar, Spice Market, and other key sites. Then we flew to Cappadocia, saw the underground cities, went on a sunrise hot-air balloon ride, and saw other key sites.

Overall, the tour was packed but well organized, smooth, and a wonderful introduction for our multigenerational group to the country, people, and culture of Turkey.

Spain Travel Review: 8 Nights

We hired Zicasso to plan our Northern Spain trip as new customers. Zicasso was recommended by a friend. Zicasso gives you two agencies to choose from and the agency we picked was great, with timely responses and no reservation problems during our vacation. We loved the agent's suggested hotels and tour guides. We surely needed the help since we do not speak Spanish and in Northern Spain there is less English spoken than in the bigger cities to the south. We would use Zicasso for a future vacation.

Colombia Travel Review: Cartagena, Baru, Antioquia, Beaches, Rafting, 10 Days

We absolutely loved our family trip to Colombia! Traveling with my husband and our five-year-old son, we were able to experience such a wonderful variety of what the country has to offer. We enjoyed the incredible culture, fabulous food, and, above all, the warm and welcoming people who made us feel so at home throughout our journey.

The itinerary was a beautiful combination of experiences. We started in the historic and vibrant city of Cartagena, then had time to relax and enjoy the beautiful beaches of Barú, and finally immersed ourselves in nature at a beautiful ecolodge in Antioquia, surrounded by the incredible landscapes of the region. Each destination offered something completely different and together they created the perfect balance of culture, relaxation, adventure, and nature for our family.

What made the trip especially memorable, though, was the people. The team from the Zicasso travel company who assisted us throughout the journey was incredibly warm, attentive, and helpful, and the guides we met along the way were wonderful. A special mention must go to our guide in Antioquia, who was absolutely incredible. He was not only knowledgeable and attentive, but also so kind and wonderful with our son. He made him feel comfortable, included, and excited about each experience, which meant so much to us as parents.

Overall, it was a truly special family trip and we cannot wait to return to Colombia!
