Costa Rica Trip Review: Gulf of Papagayo, Sunset Sail, 1 Week

It was a nicely prepared and executed trip. The staff was responsive and seemed quite knowledgeable. The local vendors used were all professional, seemed passionate about what they do, and were quite accommodating and flexible.

Chile, Argentina Travel Review: Buenos Aires, Food Tour, Tango Show, 10 Days

We had a wonderful trip, thanks to Zicasso’s travel specialist and the tour operator. We had to skip Brazil due to personal schedules, but Chile and Argentina were great. All the hotels, drivers, and guides were outstanding. We were very pleased with everything!

Costa Rica Tour Review: Tortuguero, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, Arenal, La Fortuna, Wildlife, Ziplining, River Rafting, 12-Day Trip

I was immediately impressed by Zicasso’s travel agent’s professionalism and the initial outline he prepared after reading my notes of what we’d like to do on our trip.

His revision included most everything we wanted to do (even the pineapple tour!).

As an event planner myself, I understand the amount of work and time it takes to prepare an itinerary. He nailed it!

Costa Rica Vacation Review: Sailboat, Wildlife, 1-Week Trip

Zicasso’s travel company did a great job with our tours. Our dedicated driver added so much to our vacation. The house and views were fantastic. Wildlife was abundant.

The only thing I would change would be the sailing trip, as three of us got seasick. This kind of boat was awful for those of us who suffer that fate—a catamaran, which I have been on many times without getting seasick, would have been a better choice for us. We saw pilot whales!

South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana Travel Review: Cape Town, Kruger National Park, Safari, Wildlife, 2 Weeks

This review is long overdue, but better late than never! Zicasso’s travel agent helped us plan our South African adventure and it was the perfect vacation. Everything went completely flawlessly and all the accommodations were fantastic. The communication and service she provided were excellent and I just wish she was the person who could plan all of our vacations. We did Cape Town, Kruger, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, and it was the ultimate bucket-list trip. Her plan made it the best vacation ever!!!
