New Zealand Travel Review: Franz Josef, Fox Glacier, Milford Sound, Helicopter Ride, Quad Biking, 2 Weeks

We appreciate all that Zicasso’s travel company did to make our trip to New Zealand such a fantastic experience. Everything was planned out perfectly and we enjoyed every minute of it. The accommodations in each town were wonderful and the excursions, tours, and tastings were all delightful. Having our own drivers also allowed us to really enjoy the scenery and to not have to worry about getting from point A to point B across the South and North islands. The travel company was there for us from the very beginning as we started planning the trip, until we returned home, and was very responsive and helpful every time we reached out to them.

Australia Tour Review: Port Douglas, Wildlife Refuge, 2 Weeks

It was a great trip and it was easy to work with Zicasso’s travel company regarding needs, preferences, and wants. It was tailored to our speed.

New Zealand Trip Review: Auckland, Queenstown, Sheep Experience, Helicopter Ride, 2 Weeks

Zicasso’s travel agent did a fabulous job. There were a lot of moving parts and every detail was thought through and implemented flawlessly. Her overall itinerary for us made perfect sense and her choice of hotels/lodges was excellent.

New Zealand, Australia Travel Review: Tongariro Alpine Crossing, Queenstown, Port Douglas, Sydney, Melbourne, Bridge Climb, Opera House, Food Tour, 3 Weeks

The trip was very well organized and a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. We ran into a couple of hiccups with canceled flights, but amazingly, we did not miss any scheduled tours. We can't say enough about how beautiful NZ and Australia were. What a great trip!

New Zealand Travel Review: Doubtful Sound, Abel Tasman National Park, Arthur's Pass, Mount Cook, Cruise, Scenic Flight, 30-Day Trip

We selected this travel company through Zicasso and are thrilled we made that decision. We worked with a travel specialist whose knowledge helped us determine the journey we wanted to take through New Zealand, the types of activities and tours we should do, and the best places to stay in the cities, towns, and villages we wanted to see. She provided a list of hotels and activities to choose from.

All of the suggested activities were amazing: well-led, accessible, and breathtakingly scenic. Our trip, almost 30 days in length, was simply outstanding. The hotels were generally great and while we did our own research on many of the restaurants we booked, the several she suggested were excellent.

The travel specialist listened to what our interests were and helped us plan a trip accordingly, keeping our budget in mind. We can wholeheartedly recommend this travel company.

New Zealand Travel Review: Franz Josef Glacier, Dart River, Heli-Hiking, Jet-Boat Ride, 2 Weeks
