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.

Spain Trip Review: Girona, Tapas Tour, Dali Museum, Local...

The trip was fantastic. Everything that was scheduled was well planned, with excellent tour guides, communication with the guides, as well as travel agents live during the trip. The experience was five-star and we could tell that the way it was booked through Zicasso was better for the guides themselves versus how others in our group had booked (ie, through other agencies). There were fewer obstacles, complications, and issues with the booking. We could tell this through our tour guides, as they were more comfortable and knowledgeable about our requests and needs.

Tickets were all organized and either sent to us through PDF or to our tour guides. The off days were were well placed during the week and our requests were more than satisfied.

Spain Vacation Review: Guides, Tapas Tours, 12 Nights

Zicasso's travel specialist did an amazing job! She planned our itinerary well, based on our interests, the cities we wanted to visit, and the experiences we requested. All of the accommodations and transportation worked out well, and we enjoyed the trip a lot!

The only downside was one night with a late-night tour scheduled, followed by an early-morning hot-air balloon ride, which was hard to get up for in time, but we managed. Despite this, we would definitely recommend our travel company to anyone traveling to Spain!

Spain Tour Review: Mallorca, San Sebastian, 11 Nights

Our Zicasso travel specialist was phenomenal. She understood exactly how we travel and what we wanted to do, and planned a 12-day trip to Mallorca and San Sebastián that was better than we even imagined. She was always responsive before and throughout the trip. All of the tour guides and drivers were kind, knowledgeable, and timely. Our travel company delivers exceptional first-rate service and we would highly recommend them.
