Costa Rica Vacation Review: Monteverde, Kayaking, Hiking, 10 Nights

Zicasso’s travel specialist was fantastic to work with in planning our trip. He was patient, answering all of our questions and tweaking the itinerary to fit our needs. The travel company made the trip easy for us with transfers along the way, excellent guides, information on what to expect, and a packing list. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Trip was well organized by Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team. Support in Kenya with my missing luggage was outstanding. Safari tours, city tours, and the respective accommodations more than met our expectations.

Brazil Tour Review: Rio de Janeiro, Christ the Redeemer, Beaches, 1 Week

I can’t recommend Zicasso’s travel specialist enough. Rio had been on my bucket list forever, and the travel specialist truly made it happen for me. From the very beginning, he put together a custom itinerary that felt thoughtful and perfectly tailored to what I wanted out of the trip.

Safety was my number one priority, and he was incredibly knowledgeable and proactive every step of the way. He made sure I was well prepared, including letting me know ahead of time that I needed a visa to enter Brazil, which gave me real peace of mind. He was always quick to respond to my questions and never made me feel rushed or overlooked.

On top of that, his restaurant recommendations were fantastic and added so much to the experience—it felt like getting insider tips rather than a standard travel plan. Everything was seamless, well-organized, and stress-free, allowing me to fully enjoy the trip.

Thanks to the travel specialist, my dream trip to Rio became a reality, and I’m so grateful for his care, attention to detail, and genuine passion for what he does.

New Zealand, Australia Honeymoon Review: Mount Cook, Hamilton Island, Great Ocean Road, Helicopter Ride, Snorkeling, 25 Nights

Zicasso’s travel company planned an amazing honeymoon for us. We worked with our travel agent and all her recommendations were great! We had several phone calls with her and communicated a lot via email to fine-tune our itinerary ahead of time. She was very patient with all our changes.

We also enjoyed the app, which helped us keep track of everything in one place (flights, tours, hotel details, documents).

Tanzania, Kenya Vacation Review: Serengeti, Maasai Mara, 2 Weeks

We loved everything about the trip! It was definitely a five-star experience! Zicasso’s travel specialist was wonderful. We had to cancel the original trip due to my health, but she was able to work with the travel companies, so we lost less money than we might have. She is very responsive and patient with questions. Her team was able to track down my visa to Tanzania when the other three had already received theirs!
