Spain 7-Year Anniversary Vacation Review: Prado Museum,...

We had a great eight-day trip to Madrid, planned by Zicasso's tour partners. They worked with me every step of the way to update the itinerary multiple times throughout the planning process and also helped provide great attraction, eatery, and transport recommendations.

When we arrived in Spain, we felt we were in good hands the entire time. Every driver and tour guide was on time, responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable! The agency even surprised us with a few gifts throughout our trip to help us celebrate our seven-year anniversary! I would definitely use them again!

Morocco Vacation Review: Marrakech, Majorelle Garden, Souks,...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Marrakech on a trip perfectly planned by my Zicasso's travel agent, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Every detail was carefully arranged, which made the entire journey seamless and stress-free.

From the moment I arrived, the transfers and accommodations were smooth and well-organized. The riad chosen for my stay was stunning—full of authentic Moroccan charm, warm hospitality, and ideally located for exploring the city. The guided tours were thoughtfully curated, offering a perfect balance of history, culture, and hidden gems I might not have discovered on my own. Highlights included wandering the lively souks, visiting the Majorelle Garden, and experiencing the breathtaking Atlas Mountains on a day trip.

What impressed me most was the personalized touch. The itinerary allowed enough flexibility to enjoy spontaneous moments, while still ensuring I saw the must-visit spots. The restaurant recommendations were spot on, from traditional Moroccan tagines to rooftop dining with spectacular views of the medina.

Thanks to my travel agent’s expertise, I felt cared for every step of the way. I could simply relax and immerse myself in the beauty, colors, and energy of Marrakech without worrying about logistics.

I would absolutely recommend this travel service to anyone planning a trip to Morocco—you’ll not only see Marrakech, but you’ll truly experience it.

Memorable Mother-Daughter Trip!

We had a wonderful mother-daughter trip to Spain and Portugal! I traveled with my 16-year-old daughter and everything was beautifully organized—excellent accommodations, knowledgeable guides, reliable drivers, and thoughtful recommendations throughout. One of the absolute highlights was a cooking tour in Spain, which gave us an unforgettable, authentic experience.

The agency was extremely responsive and a huge bonus was their app, which made it easy to access our itinerary and connect with them via live chat for questions, tips, and extra suggestions along the way.

Morocco Tour Review: Sahara, Hot-Air Balloon Ride, Cooking...

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Zicasso's trip coordinator and the travel company. From the very beginning, our trip coordinator was extremely thorough in the planning process—he listened carefully to what we wanted, accommodated every request, and was always flexible and willing to make adjustments along the way. He thoughtfully considered the wide range of ages in our group (from 11 to 87!) and tailored the trip to ensure everyone was comfortable and fully able to enjoy the journey.

During our nine days in Morocco, our guide was outstanding. He took extra-special care of us—his knowledge of Morocco’s history, culture, and hidden gems made the trip enriching and memorable. On top of that, he was a very safe driver and always attentive to our needs and the little details that made the experience seamless.

We could not have asked for a better team to guide us through Morocco. This travel agent and the travel company made this a once-in-a-lifetime trip for our family and we recommend them without hesitation!
