Australia Travel Review: Sydney, Penguins, 18 Nights

They did a really job. Zicasso's travel specialist was excellent at responding during the planning stage. During the trip, one excursion was canceled at the last minute (weather). Our travel specialist found us a new excursion within the hour (actually a choice of excursions). You can’t ask for more than that.

Australia Trip Review: 2 Weeks

Amazing! Zicasso's travel specialist surpassed my expectations in every way. She patiently led us through the entire process, revised the itinerary multiple times to meet our needs, and answered all of our questions or led us to resources we needed to make this trip a success.

We got to know our travel specialist over the course of several months planning this trip, and she was always very friendly, thoughtful, and professional. Our dream trip to Australia would not have happened without her support and expertise.

Australia, New Zealand Travel Review: Sydney, Blue Mountains, Great Barrier Reef, Hamilton Island, Queenstown, Milford Sound, Wine Tour, Private Guides, 2 Weeks

What an absolute trip of a lifetime! Still can't believe I got to swim along the Great Barrier Reef and also see Milford Sound only weeks apart. Although I tried to pack a lot in, transfers were seamless, hotels were next level, and my wife and I were able to relax through the trip (which included two massages). Plus, all of our private tour guides were genuinely fun to hang out with.

Planning the trip with Zicasso's travel specialist was easy. He provided a lot of options and allowed us to tweak things to our hearts' delight. He also catered to our love for good food, spas, and wine to set up some memorable excursions.

Our travel company also uses an app that kept our itinerary, tickets, and phone numbers in one place with no worries. We literally just had to wake up, show up in the lobby of our hotel, and the rest of the day was taken care of.

Can't say enough great things! Australia and New Zealand may be a world away from the US, but they have the warmest and kindest people in the world, with some of the most spectacular landscapes to enjoy!
