Sydney for the Adventurous Couple: One-Week Australia Itinerary

We loved the attention to detail and information that was provided. The app was easy to use and kept our itinerary, documents, and flight details at our fingertips.

The lodging was all wonderful and we received complimentary upgrades when possible.

We would definitely recommend Zicasso’s tour operator and would use them again!

Overall, the trip was a huge success. Zicasso’s travel designer planned everything so thoughtfully and carefully. He continued to look after us the entire four weeks of our trip. Everything went smoothly and we were able to enjoy this trip of a lifetime.

From the first discussions about what we wanted in our trip to helping us cope with weather-related air-travel disruptions, Zicasso’s travel specialist and the travel company were marvelous. They guided us to the perfect itinerary that had us enjoying the things we really like in destinations without the giant crowds.

The tour companies and guides they selected were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They all customized our tours on the fly to ensure we had the best tours possible. The sites and accommodations the travel specialist selected for us were some of the best we have ever experienced.

If you are thinking of a trip to Australia or New Zealand, and you want a truly customized trip with wonderful tours and accommodations, you must contact them.

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.

Zicasso’s travel agent is the best trip planner and trip concierge we have ever worked with. We have done a lot of trips! The travel agent was thorough and expert, and his follow-up throughout the trip was fantastic.

Our three-week trip had us visiting the east coast and southern areas of Australia, and went off without a hitch. Our excursions were with experienced guides and small groups. We took in stunning views, native wildlife, tasty food, and iconic areas.

The hotels were top-notch, all with (fantastic) breakfasts included and well situated for easy walking to local sites. Transportation transfers were ready and waiting when we arrived at all our destinations, with prompt delivery back to the airport(s).

We met so many friendly people along the way, too—native Australians, along with other tourists from near and far, all willing to share their knowledge and friendship. It was a truly wonderful trip from start to finish. We could have easily stayed another week or two!

Zicasso’s tour operator and our travel agent did an awesome job with this trip of alifetime! Highly recommended and we hope to use their services in the future.
