New Zealand Tour Review: Maori Experience, 20 Days

The trip was wonderful! Zicasso’s travel specialist planned an excellent itinerary. We enjoyed all our tours, many of which we would not have done if we planned our trip on our own. This is the first time we have used a travel agent and because of our good experience, we will use one again.

Australia, New Zealand Vacation Review: Waiheke Island, Hobbiton, Tongariro, Milford Sound, Dart River, Penguin Parade, Wine Tasting, Hiking, 3 Weeks

It was amazing. Zicasso’s travel specialist planned the whole thing for us. It was absolutely seamless. All the accommodations, rental car, transfers, tours, and flights were perfect. It was a trip of a lifetime for us and it was magical. I even called the travel specialist a couple of times to ask a question and he was right there for us. His job wasn’t over until we returned home.

I can never thank him enough for such a fabulous experience! I would highly recommend this travel specialist. He is such a professional. We toasted him often while we were there! Here’s to you, our travel specialist!

New Zealand Trip Review: Rotorua, Waiotapu, Abel Tasman, Picton, Christchurch, Mount Cook, Fox Glacier, Milford Sound, Queenstown, Helicopter Ride, 12 Nights

Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team helped craft an outstanding trip for us in New Zealand.

We originally entertained three proposals from different travel companies. The one from this travel company was one of the more interesting and unique proposals.

Once selected as our preferred travel company, they were most helpful and accommodating in adjusting plans and offering alternative options to allow us to have a great New Zealand experience.
