We recently used Zicasso's travel specialist to help plan and coordinate our trip to Paris and Lisbon, and the experience was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Every detail of our itinerary was thoughtfully arranged and the entire trip ran smoothly, thanks to their meticulous planning.
In both cities, the accommodations they selected were perfect—centrally located, charming, and comfortable, with excellent service. We truly felt like we were staying in places that matched our style and needs. The staff at both hotels were very accommodating and helpful.
The excursions and tours arranged by the agency were equally impressive. Each guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and added so much depth to our experience. Whether it was exploring hidden gems in Paris or enjoying the culture and history of Lisbon, the tours were well-paced, enriching, and never felt rushed or overly touristy.
We especially appreciated how flexible and responsive the team was throughout the process. They took the time to understand what we were looking for and customized everything to fit our preferences. It made a huge difference knowing we were in such capable hands. We can’t recommend this agency highly enough.

Zicasso's travel agency was absolutely outstanding, from the initial planning conversations through the details during the trip itself. The agents were clear, helpful, flexible, timely, and just a true joy to work with. Their travel platform was the best one we've used on any international trip.
From the great recommendations on adventures to the seamless (and friendly) transfers to the great hotel picks, it was just above and beyond in all regards. Thank you!

When we reached out to Zicasso to plan our trip, we were matched with two different agencies. After speaking to them both, we felt most comfortable with this travel company and we are so glad we chose them! We wanted to plan a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe and the tour company went above and beyond to help us do that!
Everyone we worked with listened to our needs and requests, and together we created the perfect itinerary for our family, which included something for everyone! We had all of the information we needed to make us feel comfortable and prepared, and we also knew they were there for us if we needed anything during the trip itself.
We fit so much into this trip. We saw sights we have always wanted to and had unforgettable experiences together as a family! We will treasure these memories forever and we have this travel company to thank for that!

We had a fantastic trip, put together and managed along the way by Zicasso's travel company. We worked with them to design the perfect trip for us to visit the Swiss Alps, attend a Women’s Euro football game, see the Normandy beaches, experience the Tour de France, and spend time in Paris. It was a challenge that the travel company was up to.
Our tours and guides were great, and the hotels were wonderful. All through the trip, the tour company kept in touch to make sure we knew where to go next and assisted with any issues that popped up. Another fabulous experience from Zicasso for us. This was our fourth time using their service.
