Egypt Travel Review: Pyramids, Tombs, Temples, 2 Weeks

Through no fault of Zicasso's tour company, we were not able to do the Jordan portion of our trip due to the outbreak of hostilities between Israel, Iran, and then the US. When learning Jordanian airspace was closed, the company jumped into action to provide us with immediate alternatives to the Jordan portion of the trip, including a full refund for that portion if so desired. But because they had done such a fabulous job on the Egypt portion of the trip, we decided to extend our Egypt trip and spend several days in Alexandria and out in the desert at an oasis.

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about the job Zicasso's travel company did for us. We received first-class service, travel, and accommodations, with help, from the moment we deplaned in Cairo until we went back to the airport to leave Egypt 15 days later.

My wife and I travel each summer to Europe and beyond, and most often do our trips entirely on our own. However, Egypt and Jordan are places I believe American tourists need help with at most stages of the journey ,and our travel company provided that help in an extraordinary way. I would personally recommend this company to all of my traveling friends, as well as anyone else interested in my opinion.

Egypt Vacation Review: Cairo, Nile River Cruise, Museums,...

My daughter and I just returned from our trip to Egypt. I have wanted to return since 1978 when my husband and I were there, and it has been a dream to go back with our daughter. We once again used Zicasso and they put us in touch with this travel agency; our experience with every member of their team was outstanding.  

Our agent planned our trip and was unfailingly responsive to any request, managing to incorporate everything we wanted to see and do without us feeling rushed and getting exhausted. All of his recommendations were perfect, especially his selection of lodging and the Nile river cruise (the vessel offered understated elegance and fantastic food and service). We were met on arrival in Cairo and shepherded through the entry process; the quality of service was phenomenal from that moment on.  

The team handled the trip logistics beautifully, from an additional museum trip to procuring birthday flowers for me for my best friend who was also traveling in Egypt with her husband. There was a great benefit in having dedicated (and very skillful drivers) at each location as well. The trip, from start to finish, was trouble-free.

Most of all, we were very blessed to have our private guide. Her knowledge and professionalism were superb. She was a wonderful teacher, a lovely person, and we thoroughly enjoyed learning from her.  

This travel agency made a dream trip come true in spectacular fashion; five stars across the board. Thanks to Zicasso for, once more, providing a fantastic tour company.

Egypt Trip Review: Nile River Cruise, 10-Day Tour

Our Zicasso travel partner did a great job, at just three weeks' notice, of planning a very memorable trip for me and my adult kids. Planning was perfectly executed, we were pampered (which we will miss), the trip exceeded our expectations, and if we ever return to Egypt, we will definitely use them again. I have used Zicasso eight times in the past and this trip was the best of all of them. Thank you to our travel team!
