It was an absolutely amazing trip. Zicasso’s travel specialist planned every little detail, with lots of nice surprises. From hotels to tours, they were all top-notch. We would recommend this travel specialist 100%.

We spent seven weeks traveling New Zealand and Australia and could not have put it together as nicely as he did, and we felt like we were treated to the best rooms and best seats at every stop. Do not go it alone, as there are too many details to put together, and we feel there was tremendous value in what we received.

Zicasso’s travel company did a phenomenal job with stays, tours, and activities. In particular, we loved our room at our hotel in Tasmania, our villa on Waiheke Island in NZ, and our room at our hotel in Melbourne. Our itinerary was well thought out and exposed us to exactly what we'd hope to see in Australia and New Zealand.

Australia, New Zealand Vacation Review: Sydney, Milford Sound, Phillip Island, Hiking, Plane Ride, 1 Month Trip

Zicasso’s travel specialist did a wonderful job scheduling a terrific adventure for us in Australia and New Zealand. We provided general goals and ideas for our travel, and she mapped out a terrific trip. She had discussions with us regarding selected options and helped us finalize selections. She did more for us than we realized with selections (upgraded seats to watch the penguin parade on Phillip Island, excellent private transport between airports, etc.). And she came through in flying colors when the airline lost our booking for a return flight (she was able to coordinate rebooking to give us peace of mind and elimination of stress). We highly recommend her and the travel company.
