India Travel Review: Mumbai, Slum Tour, Speakeasy, Tiger...

We were super-happy with the itinerary and the planning of our tour. Our days were well thought out, with enough touring and time to relax and unwind, getting to enjoy the hotels and amenities.  Zicasso’s travel agent and his associates were very helpful and attentive, and dealt with the couple of issues we had very quickly and professionally. We had a water leak in our first hotel room and they dealt with the hotel while we were on our tour.

Everyone at the travel company, their drivers, and guides were very knowledgeable and took great care of us, and we felt safe and secure the whole time we were there. We loved the hotels and appreciated their local knowledge, as we probably wouldn’t have gone otherwise.

We would definitely recommend Zicasso’s travel company.

All of the guides were personable, extremely versatile, enthusiastic, and gave us a real feel with an inside view of their city. The hotels were wonderful, all well chosen. Zicasso's travel company personalized our tour to our interests. We will probably go to another location with them next year!
