Central & South American Tours

The trip was great. We went with a couple of long-time travel buddies. We studied some guidebooks to get an outline of what we wanted to do. We contacted Zicasso, who hooked us up with a couple of companies. We picked our tour operator, partly because we liked the agent with whom we were initially working.

After the main planning, but well before the trip, she departed from the company and we were put in touch with the owner. I never developed a feel or attachment to him, but I can't make any complaints as the trip went off as hoped. They figured out all the details—hotels, tours, transportation (including four flights within Australia, where we had exit-row seats), etc., and booked it all. It was very easy and convenient.

We loved all the hotels and tour operators they picked. We had a local agent and I had the thought that just going with them would have cut out the middleman. We have been on small group tours, but usually plan trips ourselves when we go with this couple. I wanted the ease of planned tours, without dealing with a tour group, and this definitely worked out. We haven't used travel agents in the past (or at least since personal computers became widespread), but we will do so in the future.

We had an excellent itinerary and guides.

Zicasso’s travel professional was helpful every step of the way.

The only snag was the arrival in Bilbao, as our driver wasn't in the arrival hall. When I phoned him, he only spoke Spanish. It took a while to get help and learn that he was outside the terminal.

My now husband and I had the absolute best honeymoon in Thailand. Zicasso’s travel specialist worked with us to customize our itinerary based on what we wanted to do and had really great insight into additional excursions that we did not initially consider. He and his team were very responsive, including while we were in Thailand. They sent daily updates and provided helpful tips. I have referred Zicasso to others and have a friend who will be using them for their honeymoon as well! I 10/10 recommend using Zicasso for your travels!!

We had a wonderful three-week trip to Paris, Burgundy, Lyon, Provence, and Saint Paul de Vence in October. We received great planning ideas and follow-through from Zicasso’s travel agency. Our travel specialist made sure everything was planned properly, and documentation and the provided app provided assurance to us that all was taken care of. Our guides throughout were excellent and matched to our areas of interest.

Zicasso’s travel consultant and her team exceeded all our expectations. The itinerary was perfectly organized and we received clear directions every step of the way. Our contact in Italy was always available to track our needs and concerns, anticipating and averting any potential problems. The accommodations at the hotel were excellent and we especially enjoyed our bed and breakfast in Salerno. Additionally, we had the right amount of free time to explore on our own.

Zicasso’s travel specialist organized the exact trip we wanted. Every guided trip, every driver, and every event she arranged for us was perfect. Everyone was friendly and professional. Our hotels in France were also truly lovely and we enjoyed the included breakfasts and kind consideration from the staff. We will recommend her highly to anyone considering a trip to France.
