Paris is the City of Lights, and radiates beauty across the cobblestone streets and over the rippling waters of the Seine River. Cafes set out chairs along wide tree-lined boulevards.

Reviews of Zicasso's Referral Service

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.

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.

The trip was fantastic and perfect in every way! I would definitely recommend Zicasso’s travel designer to others. She clearly pays lots of careful attention to detail and she takes the time to add lovely and personalized finishing touches (e.g., she brought us cheese and bread for our cruise). She also accommodated many of our specific, high-maintenance requests (e.g., specialized tours).

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!
