My trip was an incredible adventure, which I feel fortunate to have experienced. The excursions were well chosen and hotels outstanding. The logistics of a long trip with over six destinations and activities in the desert, mountains, and urban areas were artfully arranged by Zicasso’s travel specialist and supported by vendors and transit agencies. I had a support network that allowed me to totally enjoy the beautiful and diverse environments, cultures, and activities.

It was a very well-organized trip with a lot of attention to detail. The tour guides were professional and kind. I fell sick the first day in Santiago and the hotel staff were extremely helpful with organizing a doctor and helping me get appropriate medication in the middle of the night. Patagonia is a truly wonderful place and the arrangements were excellent. Thank you.

This trip involved a number of special requests from me to tour in and around Santiago: winery cycling, guided botanical garden tour, lesser-known museums, and markets. All were nicely accommodated by Zicasso's travel company. All went smoothly. Our principal guide was excellent, as were the drivers.

Our trip was fabulous. Based on my general input of where we wanted to go and our time frames, Zicasso’s travel specialist crafted an itinerary that we thoroughly enjoyed.
The boutique hotels he arranged for us in Iguazú, Buenos Aires, El Chalten, Calafate, Puerto Natales, and Santiago were very nice and in walkable areas, with many nearby restaurants and stores.
The transfers to and from airports to hotels made us feel like VIPs, especially the first-class van ride from Calafate to Puerto Natales. Guides all had good command of English and were very knowledgeable and helpful, particularly in helping us get through immigration as we travelled between countries. A special shout-out to our guide in Buenos Aires and our guide in Santiago for going above and beyond.
Before, during, and after our three weeks in South America, our travel specialist stayed in touch via WhatsApp. He even met with us twice in person during the time we were in Buenos Aires. I highly recommend the tour company.

Zicasso’s travel specialist built a great itinerary for us and scheduled activities and sites that matched our ideas. It was tailored perfectly, never too little or too much time in one location, so we were able to experience Argentina, Chile, and Antarctica to their fullest, based on our time frame. Connections were smooth and seamless, with nothing unexpected.
