Scotland Travel Review: Family Heritage, 6 Nights

My wife and I had a great experience with Zicasso's travel specialist (who coordinated the initial logistics) and especially with our tour guide (who was an 11/10 and exceeded our expectations on our tour). They customized our trip before we arrived and then our guide was responsive to "on-the-fly" changes once we were in-country. I hope I can refer more people to them.

Scotland Travel Review: Reindeer Experience, 2 Weeks

Zicasso's trip planner did a great job in arranging our accommodations. His recommendations for dining and events were great. We especially loved the drivers he arranged for us to and from the airport. I would definitely use him again!

Scotland Birthday Travel Review: Inverness, Portree, Private...

Zicasso's trip planner was easy to work with and arranged an itinerary that met our needs. He always answered emails in a timely fashion. We spent a week with our guide. Her wealth of knowledge and wonderful personality blew us away; she was one of the best guides I have ever had and I have traveled extensively.

This was a special birthday trip for our family and it turned out to be our best family vacay ever! Not only was our guide outstanding, but the weather was the best it's been in 60 years. We must be living right!

I would recommend Zicasso's tour company to anyone visiting Scotland. Having a private guide who knows all the nooks and crannies of the Highlands is the way to go. The company, our agent, and our guide are the best!
