Costa Rica Vacation Review: 1 Week Trip

Zicasso's travel specialists and the rest of the team were incredible. They planned a perfect trip for me, from hotels to transportation to excursions, and were incredibly responsive while I was in Costa Rica. I will be going back to Costa Rica in the near future because of how much I enjoyed my trip, and will certainly be working with this tour operator to plan any future trips to Costa Rica!

Australia Travel Review: 2 Weeks

After months of working with Zicasso’s travel specialist designing the perfect itinerary, I was grounded by my cardiologist and unable to take the trip. With regards to the travel specialist, she was such a pleasure to work with, an excellent communicator, humorous, punctual, keen on detail, and focused on customer satisfaction.

Australia, New Zealand Trip Review: Sydney, Cruise, Private Zoo Experience, Ayers Rock, Great Barrier Reef, 3 Weeks

All four of us who traveled to Australia and New Zealand this fall agree that Zicasso’s travel specialist did a fantastic job assisting us with planning and the actual trip itself. She listened to our itinerary, wants and desires, as well as the time constraints and budget. And while we did spend quite a bit more than what we originally intended, we had the trip of a lifetime. We are all completely satisfied with our journey, as organized by the travel specialist.

Australia, New Zealand Vacation Review: Adelaide, Lizard Island, Kangaroo Island, Milford Sound, 1 Month

This was our second trip organized through Zicasso and both trips were great. In retrospect, we might have changed a few things, but by an overwhelming margin, the trip was great. Interesting tours, knowledgeable guides, nice hotels.

Zicasso’s travel specialist planned our trip of a lifetime to Africa and their services were impeccable, down to the smallest detail!! The lodges, service, food, accommodations, airplane transfers, pick-ups and arrivals, and game drives made this trip stress-free, reliable, and so enjoyable.
