England Vacation Review: London, Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon,...

We absolutely loved our England adventure and already wish we could go back. It was a perfect balance of English countryside, history, and culture.

All our hotels were wonderful. The lodge in Broadway was such an extraordinary place to stay—the property was so historic, but the rooms and amenities were modern. We loved the pool and gym, and delicious food/drink they offered. We also took advantage of the playground down the street every evening after dinner—it had a zipline and a beautiful vista. The lodge at Warwick was also amazing, such a fun place to stay for families with young kids. We also really enjoyed our hotel in London. The location was ideal as we could walk to restaurants and we had a tube station right there.

Our drivers were also very professional and friendly, and made the transfers between locations so simple and stress-free for us. Honestly we have nothing but good things to say about every moment of this vacation, from the afternoon tea to the "Harry Potter" studio tour.

France Honeymoon Review: Paris, Loire Valley, Saint-Emilion,...

We were connected with an amazing travel agent at Zicasso's travel company for our honeymoon in France. Our agent planned the perfect trip for us after our initial phone call. She booked small and private tours for us that were amazing experiences. She was available 24/7 while we were in France and was able to assist immediately when we had train delays and a canceled dinner reservation. We would absolutely book with this travel company again.

We did a custom trip with Zicasso’s tour operator. We visited Normandy and Paris, France, and Florence and Rome, Italy. Every tour was fantastic, planning was super-simple, and our travel agent was very responsive! We would absolutely plan another trip with this travel company.

France Mother-Daughter Trip Review: Paris, Versailles, Montmartre,...

There is no way I could have planned a trip this magical without the help of Zicasso’s travel agent. It was the perfect mother-daughter trip to Paris. From the macaron baking class and the bike ride around Versailles to the meticulous itinerary that showed us how to get everywhere. She even threw in a cruise down the Seine River on our last day. I feel like we did everything, but we are already longing to go back.
