We had a great time. We were very happy with our driver. He was so knowledgeable and we enjoyed our time with him. He clearly has a passion for his job. We cannot say enough great things about him. We enjoyed our stay at our hotel as well. Everything went well overall.

Italy Trip Review: Capri, Amalfi Coast, Rome, Private Boat Tour, E-Bike Experience, Appian Way, Catacombs, History, 17 Days

We had an amazing family trip to Italy and Zicasso’s travel company played a huge role in making it such a success. From the start, communication was quick and easy, and our travel specialist provided excellent recommendations and advice throughout the planning process. She was incredibly responsive and flexible when we added another traveler and made adjustments to our itinerary.

Every detail was handled seamlessly. Transportation was always on time, our guides were knowledgeable and engaging, and all tours ran smoothly. Even the semi-private tours had very small groups, which made for a much more personalized experience.

Customer service during the trip was outstanding, with fast responses whenever we had questions. We would absolutely recommend the travel company and would gladly use them for a future trip to Italy.

Thailand Tour Review: Chiang Mai, Koh Samui, Bike Ride, Cooking Class, Temple, 9 Nights

Zicasso’s travel company did a phenomenal job planning and executing our trip to Thailand. Our travel specialist paid very close attention to our goals for this trip to Thailand and delivered an itinerary, with very few edits needed, that allowed us to balance fun with much-needed rest and relaxation at charming hotels in Chiang Mai and Koh Samui.

The operations team flawlessly handled all the logistics and clearly communicated each day's plans. We didn't have to worry about a thing and just needed to show up for the fun.

We loved the excursions that the team arranged: a wonderful bike ride through the Chiang Mai countryside, a tasty cooking class with an amazing chef, a visit with elephants at an ethical sanctuary, and a trip to one of the famous Chiang Mai temples. When inclement weather resulted in the cancellation of one of our excursions, the team promptly handled a refund request without being asked.

We highly recommend this travel company and will use them again whenever our travels take us back to Thailand. Thank you to the team and the travel company for an amazing trip!
