Australia, New Zealand Trip Review: Franz Josef Glacier,...

Zicasso once again provided us with an amazing team to handle every detail of our "bucket-list" trip.

This adventure had a lot of moving parts and our travel agent performed like a Swiss watchmaker! Eight flights, with pick-ups and drop-offs that were on time, every time, even our 3am departure to the airport in Cairns.

We had scuba-diving excursions on both coasts of Australia, a helicopter tour and landing on the Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand, trips into the rainforest at both destinations, incredible boutique hotels, and interesting tours that made our itinerary a lifetime memory. 

If there was a six-star rating, our travel agent should get it. Highly recommended. Pre-trip communication was excellent as the trip was a year in the planning. We had not one issue during the 21-day trip. I can't stress that enough; not one issue. It was an absolutely amazing trip. Thank you, Zicasso team!

Australia, New Zealand Travel Review: Sea Lions, Helicopter...

Zicasso’s travel agency did a great job on the itinerary for our trip to New Zealand and Australia. They were very attentive and in touch with us throughout the development of our itinerary, while keeping within our budget and time constraints.

Australia, New Zealand Family Travel Review: Sydney, Daintree...

We loved our trip! Zicasso's travel agency planned the most perfect trip for our family of four. They listened to my needs and wants, and created a perfect itinerary. We had some unexpected changes to our itinerary while traveling. Both agents were readily accessible and available, and made changes on the spot. The local tour companies we were connected with were excellent and first-class all the way. We were given extra recommendations for restaurants and activities when we had a day off from touring. Everything was perfect and I cannot thank them enough.

Argentina, Chile Vacation Review: Patagonia, Hiking, Kayaking,...

Our two-week trip to Patagonia was exceptional. We enjoyed a variety of experiences, from hiking and kayaking to staying on an estancia, visiting glaciers, and horseback riding. Our guides were excellent and the accommodations were amazing. Zicasso's trip planner was available to answer any questions we had throughout the trip. It was very reassuring to have him in-country as a resource when needed. He always responded promptly and checked in with us throughout the trip.

New Zealand Vacation Review: South Island, Wildlife, Scenery,...

Thank you Zicasso, thank you to the team who organized this super discovery journey on the South Island. Top organization, exchanges, documentation, advice, and responsiveness. Our agent's kindness and availability convinced us to go with you in the preparation of our two-week stay, self-drive holiday. Thank you again and I wish you all the best for the future.

Australia, New Zealand Trip Review: Private Tours, Hiking,...

I can't even begin to describe what a good experience we had with Zicasso’s travel company and our Australia/New Zealand trip planning. This was a bucket-list trip for us and our agent took into consideration every one of our wishes for the vacation. It was extremely customized and well thought out. The pacing, the experiences, the memories; all of it was exactly what we wanted. If you're looking for a curated vacation fit for you, work with this travel company.
