Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, Brazil Travel Review: Galapagos, Machu Picchu, Mendoza, Iguazu Falls, 5 Weeks

Zicasso’s travel specialist planned the perfect trip for four people. He listened to our requests during the planning phase and incorporated everything we wanted, while also suggesting many fantastic activities that made our trip incredible. We were traveling for five weeks and didn't even have one problem. Every guide, hotel, and flight the travel company booked was great. We couldn't be happier with the amazing trip he put together for us and we appreciate his expertise so much! I absolutely recommend the travel company for anyone looking at a trip to this amazing part of the world.

Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia Vacation Review: Scenery, 1 Month

They actually care about you and your trip. For a trip this big, things are going to go wrong or change, and Zicasso’s travel company did a great job of making things work, with awesome support. Better than this, they still provided assistance to us after our time with them had finished, but we were still traveling. They are a genuine company and it was very satisfying to deal with them... great job!

Argentina Vacation Review: Iguazu Falls, Wine Tasting, Cuisine, Tango, Boating, 13 Nights

Zicasso’s travel specialist created a special, never-to-be-forgotten adventure in Argentina. As a 70-something-year-old woman who loves nature, wine, fine food, the arts, and meeting interesting people, the travel specialist provided all of that and more.

We had personal drivers and guides who introduced us to the history and culture of Argentina. We had lunch and dinners at Michelin- and five-star-rated restaurants, as well as stays in unusual boutique hotels. Evenings of tango demonstrations and a boat ride behind Iguazú Falls. I cannot recommend anyone more than the travel specialist to create a unique Argentinian itinerary tailored just for you.

Argentina Trip Review: Mendoza, Salta, Chacras de Coria, Wineries, Local Cuisine, 17 Nights

This was our first experience with Zicasso and using our agency to assist in planning, scheduling, and supporting us throughout our trip to Argentina. The process was quite easy to understand and the agency did a fabulous job of choosing lovely accommodations for each city/town we visited. We requested private drivers for most of the trip and needed in-county flights to visit various cities. The support to accomplish all this was flawless.

The time in Mendoza was wonderful, visiting a number of wineries for tours, tasting, and lunch most days, again thoughtfully procured by them. We especially appreciated our support person while in-country. She reached out to us frequently to make sure all was going to plan and was easy to reach when we had questions. A top-class service and experience! Thank you so much.
