Morocco Anniversary Trip Review: Fes, Architecture, Artisan Crafts, Camel Ride, 11 Nights

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our trip to Morocco and I truly don’t think it would have been nearly as enjoyable without Zicasso's tour company.

From our very first conversation to the final day of the trip, they were incredibly helpful, responsive, and attentive. They answered all of our questions quickly and really took the time to understand what we wanted, making the entire experience feel personalized and stress-free.

Our driver was amazing—by the end of the trip, he felt like family. He went above and beyond to accommodate anything we needed and shared so much knowledge about every place we visited. His warmth and professionalism made a huge difference to our experience.

The tour guides were equally impressive. Every single one of them brought something special and we were consistently wowed by their knowledge and passion.

I would absolutely recommend the travel company to anyone considering a trip. They played such a big role in making our anniversary trip truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Egypt Travel Review: Cairo, Nile River Cruise, Pyramids, 10 Days

The trip with Zicasso’s travel company was fantastic. We enjoyed every part of the trip. Everything was first class. Our guide was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and changed the tour to match our pace, and made sure we never had to wait in lines. With the current political climate, we always felt safe with him. Everything that was promised was delivered. We highly, highly recommend the travel company and our guide.

Morocco Tour Review: Culture, Local Cuisine, 17 Days

Zicasso’s travel specialist prepared an amazing itinerary that showed me so much of Morocco, from the unique parts of the larger cities to some of the fascinating parts of Morocco that are more off the beaten path. My guide was absolutely the best, showing me out-of-the-way places and sharing detailed historical and cultural information about some of the places we visited. Absolutely amazing and wonderful trip!

Egypt Tour Review: Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Nile River Cruise, Pyramids, Temples, 10 Nights

Once again, Zicasso exceeded expectations by recommending this tour company. From my very first interaction with our travel specialist, he listened closely, guided us thoughtfully, and offered excellent suggestions that helped shape an unforgettable family trip to Egypt. I highly recommend the tour company for their personal, top-notch service and outstanding, super-friendly guides.

Our travel specialist and his entire team went above and beyond to ensure our journey was safe, seamless, and completely worry-free. He was always available to answer questions—whether about security concerns (the Middle East war began just weeks before our departure) or arranging a last-minute day trip to Alexandria while we were still in Luxor. We even met via Zoom to finalize our itinerary. He handled every logistical detail, from domestic flights, transfers, and our Nile River cruise to dining recommendations and sightseeing plans.

The itinerary he crafted was perfect, capturing everything we hoped to see and do. He was attentive, flexible, and consistently helpful with suggestions and adjustments along the way.

In Cairo, our Egyptologist and our driver were exceptional—warm, knowledgeable, and so friendly that they quickly felt like family. We learned so much about Ancient Egypt, Alexandria, and the historic sites of Old Cairo. In Luxor and throughout our Nile River cruise, our guide was equally wonderful: attentive, kind, and deeply informative.

Every moment of our trip was enjoyable, comfortable, and safe. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks to Zicasso for matching us with this tour company!

Egypt Travel Review: Cairo, Alexandria, Grand Egyptian Museum, 10 Nights

Zicasso's travel company was outstanding. My contact walked me through the decision phase with patience and all the information I needed to make good decisions.

After much back and forth, the eventual choice of our hotel in Cairo was excellent. Our hotel in Alexandria was a beautiful site, although not as convenient as the hotel in Cairo.

The travel specialist completely embraced my vision for a vacation and tailored his suggestions accordingly. As a result, the vacation was at a perfect pace and allowed me to see everything I was dying to visit.

Morocco Travel Review: Sahara, Camel Ride, Medinas, Mosques, Local Cuisine, Culture, 10-Day Trip

The four of us were awed at the beauty and history of Morocco. We so enjoyed our driver, who traveled with us for 10 days. The tour guides at the important stops, like the medinas and the mosques, were excellent.

The process of booking this trip with Zicasso's travel company was very simple and the communication was great.

The food and the riad where we stayed were excellent. Each riad was beautiful, unique, and offered a quiet respite.

We rode a camel and slept in the Sahara. We traveled through canyons and fields that were endless and beautiful. We ate in the home of a resident of Morocco and our driver introduced us to his family, his sister, and her husband and their children. We got to see the side of Morocco that few tourists see. We walked away wanting to see more.
