This trip could not have been better planned or executed. The transitions were seamless, the hotels were incredible, with Michelin-star restaurants, and the guides were knowledgeable and attentive to our individual preferences. The travel agency Zicasso referred us to could not have prepared a better trip or arranged things any better. They were great.

Zicasso provided us with several travel companies to speak with so we could decide the best fit for our trip. This is really important to us in determining which company would best meet our needs. They also provided multiple companies to choose from to select trip insurance. These services really helped save us time in the planning process.

We had a fantastic trip to Strasbourg, Paris, Bayeux, and Amboise. The travel company did an amazing job connecting us with high-quality guides and activities.

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. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and personal touch turned our trip into an unforgettable experience. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the wonderful individuals who made our journey so memorable. Each of them played a unique role in crafting an experience that exceeded our expectations.

Our trip planner, for her warm, personal touches that welcomed us at each hotel and for being readily available throughout our travels. Her kindness, attention to detail, and support made us feel truly cared for every step of the way.

Our culinary tour guide, who led us on a delightful tasting tour. Her friendly energy, deep knowledge, and passion for the local cuisine added a rich and flavorful layer to our time abroad.

Our winery expert, whose expertise and engaging personality made our champagne tastings unforgettable. His insights and enthusiasm helped us appreciate each sip in an entirely new way.

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!
