Europe Food & Wine Tours & Vacations

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.

Zicasso’s travel specialist and our guide took great care of us. We were two friends traveling through Chile and everything was managed with professionalism and thoughtful consideration. We had great hotels, great excursions, and on-time transfers booked. Everything ran smoothly, and when we had some travel delays, everything was taken care of for us. I would highly recommend this travel company and we had a fabulous trip to Chile.

The trip was great. We were able to connect with the local culture and explore the history of Denmark. Zicasso's travel agency delivered what we asked for.

We (A and B) had an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime, 36-day trip to Japan and were very grateful we found Zicasso’s travel specialist to help us plan our itinerary.

The travel specialist made sure that all our travel arrangements were well thought out and his instructions were (mostly) straightforward. He was a good listener and helped us craft an itinerary that totally suited our needs. We had about four sessions (hours) on Zoom with him before our trip to iron out details. A company that does customized tours was exactly what we were looking for and that is what we got. This way, we had a lot of say in where to go, how long to stay, how we wanted to spend our time, and what attractions we wanted to see. He told us ours was the longest trip to Japan he had helped arrange.

The trip was amazing and we were blessed to be able to see the spectacular fall foliage everywhere we went, Mount Fuji on numerous days, and many beautiful places, as well as eat authentic Japanese food and immerse ourselves in Japanese culture. In addition to all that, we had many days on our own where we were able to meet up with 12 friends of B in three different cities, people B met 45 years ago in Japan.

All the arrangements made for us by the travel company were fantastic, including local transportation, drivers in every city, and train and shinkansen rides. The accommodations were excellent too and we especially appreciated that the location of our hotels was very convenient and in the best areas. The two stays in ryokans in Hakone and Miyajima were unique and special.

Every single local guide we had was fantastic. They were all knowledgeable, friendly, personable, helpful, and kind. The drivers were terrific too and we enjoyed meeting them and talking with them.

We highly recommend this travel company if you are looking for a customized, comprehensive, and fun tour of Japan.

Zicasso’s tour operator did an amazing job with the planning and execution of our trip to Oaxaca de Juárez and Puerto Escondido. There were some notable highlights.

First, the communication with the travel specialists was frequent and timely. I received daily messages asking how each day’s activities went and also reminding us of the following day’s activities, including the subject of the activity, what was included each day, and what time things began and ended. The few issues that I brought up were quickly addressed.

The hotels and the excursions each day were also high quality. We were very impressed with the organization and the care they showed by informing us frequently along the way.

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.
