Vietnam, Cambodia Tour Review: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Street Food Tour, Vespa Ride, Angkor Wat, 2 Weeks

We had an amazing time in Vietnam and Cambodia. The hotels, transportation, and guides all went very smoothly. Zicasso’s travel specialist was great to work with. Having an expert with local knowledge was very helpful. He also went above and beyond, adjusting our trip itinerary due to severe flooding in Hoi An. He also hosted a welcome dinner at his home, which was a treat.

Logan W.
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.

Thailand Tour Review: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Batik Painting Class, Elephant Sanctuary, 1 Month

My trip was great and I was extremely pleased with Zicasso’s travel agency. They messaged me every day to confirm pick-up plans for the following day, they were responsive when I wanted to change my plans one day, and their suggestions for excursions were fun, unusual, and, in some cases, things I would not have been able to source on my own.
