The trip far exceeded my already high expectations. Zicasso’s travel specialist and his team were awesome every step of the way. We didn't have to worry about a single thing, as they handled it all. We just enjoyed the moments without worrying about logistics. Every driver, guide, and employee we worked with was friendly, helpful, and full of knowledge. I can’t wait to go back to Thailand again and will be using the travel company again.

Thailand Trip Review: Chiang Mai, Yi Peng Festival, Elephant Sanctuary, 2 Weeks

Unforgettable! It's hard for me to put into words how amazing this trip was. From our first visit with Zicasso’s travel specialist, he seemed to know us and tailored our trip to fit us perfectly. We have learned when taking these big trips that it's best to just follow the experts’ advice and suggestions, and the travel company did not disappoint.

One thing that was truly beyond exceptional was the Yi Peng Festival in Chiang Mai. This was not even something I knew of, but was suggested by the travel specialist since our days lined up while there. This was the most moving and emotional experience I've ever had in my life! Thank you so, so much.

Thailand, Laos, Cambodia Tour Review: Angkor Wat, 2 Weeks

I was pleased by how seamless and satisfying the entire trip was. Working with Zicasso’s travel specialist, I was able to choose the sites I wanted to see and select the perfect hotels to complement the trip.

The guides chosen for us were not only informative but also very responsive to our personal needs and the changes required to adapt our schedule to the tail effects of a surprise monsoon.

Connections to airline flights and new cities went flawlessly.

The overall experience exceeded my expectations. I will recommend the travel specialist and Zicasso to friends and family.

Thailand Trip Review: Cooking Class, Culinary Experiences, 10 Days

Zicasso’s travel specialist was very responsive and great to work with. He helped us get a partial refund from one of the hotels when we had to cancel that part of our trip due to weather-related issues. He had overall great suggestions and the logistics were well planned. The guides and drivers were great. Thanks!
