Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Italy, Slovenia Vacation Review: Dubrovnik, Old City Wall

We had a great trip. There were some tiny glitches along the way, but that's to be expected. We saw most of what I had planned on. It was easy to work with our agent.

Croatia, Slovenia Vacation Review: Plitvice Lakes, Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Boat Ride, 10 Days

The trip was amazing. Zicasso’s travel specialist had really good advice and was able to “read” us as travelers to help plan all of our adventures. The hotels were top-notch, and every person we encountered that she put in place took wonderful care of us.

She was in constant contact with us and even when the airline canceled and rescheduled my flights home (twice) due to a strike by crew members, the travel specialist stayed with me through my entire trip home, which was several different legs to get me to San Francisco. I highly recommend this travel company.

We worked with Zicasso’s travel specialist for our trip to Croatia and she was outstanding from start to finish. The travel specialist planned every event with care and precision, creating an itinerary that felt seamless and personalized. Her communication was exceptional—she was consistently responsive, clear, and proactive, making the entire planning process effortless.

What stood out most was her availability. Any time we had a question or ran into a small issue, she was right there with quick, helpful solutions. Knowing she was reachable gave us tremendous peace of mind throughout the trip.

If you are traveling to Croatia and want a truly knowledgeable, attentive, and reliable travel professional, I cannot recommend the travel specialist highly enough. She made our experience unforgettable.

Zicasso’s travel agent was fantastic to work with and provided us with a great travel experience. She was able to coordinate all our travel and even coordinated a second pick-up at the airport when one of our flights was delayed. Our accommodations were great, and the local guides provided wonderful background and history for us. Zicasso has always provided us with a great travel adventure.

Croatia Tour Review: Hvar, 9 Days

My trip, curated by Zicasso, was seamless. The travel specialist really listened to my wish list of places to see and things to do. The trip itinerary couldn't have been organized any better. It was so relaxing to have everything taken care of, including transportation. She suggested other options that may have been available. Free time to explore or relax was just the right amount for me. She was always available to assist if needed. I couldn’t have asked for a better vacation.
