Indonesia, Thailand Honeymoon Review: Bali, Perfect Itinerary, 2 Weeks

My wife and I spoke with a lot of travel agencies while planning our honeymoon to Bali and Thailand, but from our very first conversation with Zicasso’s travel specialist, it was clear we would be using this travel company. His attention to detail was on another level—every transfer, activity, hotel, and timing was thought through perfectly.

The itinerary the travel specialist built for us was not only seamless, but also incredibly well curated. We never felt rushed, everything flowed naturally, and we got to experience the absolute best each destination had to offer. From adventure days to romantic, relaxing moments, he made sure everything aligned with exactly what we wanted.

The entire trip was stress free, beautifully organized, and genuinely exceeded every expectation we had. It was the perfect honeymoon and we owe that to him.

We would 100% use the travel company again and highly recommend them to anyone planning a special trip.

Indonesia 30th Anniversary Review: Bali, Mount Batur, Komodo Island, Hiking, Temples, Snorkeling, Fire Dance, Wildlife, Local Cuisine, 3 Weeks

Our 30th anniversary trip was an experience of a lifetime. From the moment we arrived at Denpasar International Airport and were met by Zicasso’s travel designer and his amazing team, we were in the hands of professionals who made our trip so enjoyable and educational.

The travel designer, with our input, arranged a journey through Bali that allowed us to experience the true heart of this country. We traveled daily with our guide, a man who truly loves Bali and its people. His wisdom flowed to us at each stop and he never tired of us asking question after question. We were met each morning with his enduring smile that never ceased to fade, no matter the length of our days.

As our trip unfolded, with the travel designer's advanced planning, we saw the real, true Bali, venturing to the countryside, away from clubs, touristy crowds, and selfie sticks. Each day filled our hearts with the Balinese people, for whom we came to love and now consider our family in Indonesia.

The travel designer made sure our accommodations at each stop were luxurious, experiencing solitude, scrumptious food, and an inviting personal plunge pool.

From experiencing the solitude of farmers working in their rice fields to nature walks, experiencing elephants up close, and hiking Mount Batur for sunrise, to strolling the countryside, meeting local people and learning their trades, to trekking through a rainforest, along with lazy days of cocktails by the pool, we loved our trip and it all came together with the efforts of the travel designer and his team. The joy we experienced was nothing compared to the joy they experienced by sharing their small part of the world with us!

Indonesia Multigenerational Tour Review: Yogyakarta, Borobudur, Bali, Accessible Family-Friendly Travel

It was a Herculean task to plan a trip for my parents, who are almost 80 years old. Zicasso's tour planner knew what was needed from the get-go. There was an army of folks whose every need had to be taken care of. Even though we had taken wheelchair access with the airline, our agent arranged for helpers, who were waiting at the aircraft door!!

The entire team of tour guides and wheelchair helpers and drivers were all such amazing people. They all went above and beyond trying to help my parents. Our agent was also present in every city to make sure things were going well.

I would highly recommend his agency to folks wanting to travel to Bali.

Indonesia Birthday Travel Review: Bali, Yoga, Floating Food Experience, 8 Nights

Our recent trip to Bali was absolutely unforgettable and we owe it all to the incredible team that helped make it such a smooth and joyful experience. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed.

A huge thank you to our amazing Zicasso travel agent, who made coordinating a group of 11 people look easy. She ensured every detail was in place and helped us feel at ease throughout the entire process.

We were also fortunate to have our guide. His knowledge, warmth, and professionalism made each activity even more meaningful. And a big shoutout to our drivers for getting us everywhere safely and comfortably, with patience and smiles.

The activities were perfectly curated, from a beautiful birthday dinner celebration to yoga, the floral happy birthday message, the floating breakfast, and so much more; even the small, magical moments that were beautifully captured by the photographers who our travel agent arranged.

Every venue we visited went above and beyond to accommodate our group, and we felt genuinely welcomed everywhere we went. This was truly the trip of a lifetime and we’re incredibly grateful to our travel agent, guide, and drivers for making it such a success. We all had an amazing time and I would 100% recommend this team to anyone planning a visit to Bali.

Five stars all the way!
